    After seeing the positive reviews we decided to try the brunch. I think they are still getting the schedule adjusted, cuz it took a few minutes to be asked for drink order after we got seated. We had the bottomless mimosas. The staff are friendly. Two out had the Land benedict, smoked salmon instead of ham. They come with great country potatoes. One of had the burger with an egg. It was huge and done perfectly. We brought half of it home. We were able to take our time. The bottomless mimosas have a 1.5 hour time limit. That was perfect time for us. This place has definitely upped its game.

    We had a fantastic time at the Evanston Corner Bistro! The food was delicious, the service was very reliable, and the atmosphere was great. Our server's name was Angel and was wonderful. We both got the Valentine's Day menu which has three courses and each course was amazing. Thank you for the experience!

    This is like beating a dead horse as I don’t think this place will last long. If they can’t even get their $16 burger right, don’t expect them to get anything else right either. Nothing was seasoned. Nothing was hot. They made it seem like their steak frites were not to be missed (HUGE placement in the middle of the menu) but they were mediocre at best and non of them (all three of us had them) were cooked consistently. The drinks were fine, it’s a beautiful space but damn, they are phoning it in.

    The chicken with truffle sauce was delicious. I’ve been fantasizing about it! Didn’t love the cold marble tables and so many hard surfaces.
