A Toda Madre
I would say that this is a pretty trendy Mexican place. All of the tacos were great and there is a unique twist on all of their dishes compared to traditional Mexican restaurants

fire + wine
One of my favorite restaurants in the area! Do yourself a favor and get the braised short rib. One of the best short rib dishes I’ve ever had. Truly everything on this menu is phenomenal and it’s a restaurant that is more creative with their dishes which makes it a really unique experience. We also got the grilled romaine salad, zucchini fries, vodka pasta and the donuts for dessert!

Girl & The Goat
Upscale restaurant that books up months in advance so you need reservations ASAP. The dishes are all extremely unique so don’t bring anyone here that doesn’t like to try dishes outside of the box

They used to only have a location in Chicago but they recently opened on in the arboretum! This place is super trendy and gives you vacation/summer vibes in the peak of winter. Food and drinks are also great!
