I haven't been to Pinstripes for many years and so glad that we decided to go this evening to celebrate life after the CA fires. The food was amazing. The salmon was beyond excellent and a huge portion that I took half of it home. The Caeser salad was just okay, but the celebration dessert (which was comped because we were celebrating) was devine. It was huge and was that yummy. Our server was excellent, extremely attentive and always available when we needed another fork or extra sauce or whatever we needed! It was so great...I can't wait to go back and look forward to eating the other half that I brought home tomorrow night for dinner. Great job, Pinstripes...you've got my business!

Birthday/Christmas Eve celebration. Place was cute and a bit confusing to find at first (it was night time and at a gold course). I’ll have to go during the day to enjoy the views. Place was decorated for the holidays and one of the few spots that I was able to get a last minute rsvp after another restaurant cancelled our rsvp because of a system error. Service and server were great, food choices were not as many as I would’ve desired but we managed to find our picks. Overall nice place. Like I said, I’ll have to check the place out during daylight hours.

We decided to try this place out and we are so happy that we did! Everything was fantastic from the drinks to the dessert. Yiayias meatballs were a must have for appetizers. The appetizer potato’s are also perfect and would be a good side to share as well. For me the star of the show was the paccheri pasticio. This was THE flavorful comfort food that will keep me coming back, and keep it hard to try something new. Overall fantastic meal and we will be back!

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.

About the restaurant
Bluestone is a Chicago-style restaurant in Evanston that offers homestyle cooking in a warm and welcoming environment. Owner John, whose obsession with golf led to the more than 250 pin flags decorating the restaurant, opened Bluestone after transitioning from commercial film production. His goal was to create a locale that was filled with friendliness and familiar faces, all while serving a variety of menu options with a hometown feel. Guests can enjoy favorites like crab cakes, or branch out and discover a new one from their wrap, soup, quesadilla or burger menus. Don't forget to try homemade specialties such as the turkey or black bean burgers, or the Bluestone signature smoked wings. There are also several thin-crust pizza options, like the pesto or BBQ chicken offerings. Whether you're just passing through or a long-time resident, Bluestone, at the corner of Central St. and Prairie Ave., is everyone's home away from home.
