ROSEBUD OF HIGHLAND PARK
We cannot possibly recommend Rosebud of Highland Park enough. As you probably know, it is very popular among celebrities and all lovers of great food. The atmopshere is the most upscale and the most impressive of all the restaurants in Highland Park. And the quality of the food is unparalleled. For an appetizer we'd recommend the Eggplant Rotolo or the Sausage and Peppers, and the Rigatoni alla Vodka is the perfect choice for an entree. Of course the Pappardelle is also wonderful! Everything on the menu is fantastic! One of the best restaurants we've ever eaten in!

BLUEGRASS
Bluegrass has a casual elegance that no other restaurant in Highland Park seems to capture. We love their extensive wine list and beer selections, both of which happen to be all American. They've got a beautiful bar where you can enjoy your favorite cocktails while chatting with the friendly bartender. For an appetizer we recommend you try the Szechwan Spicy Calamari, the Escargot if that's your style, or the Mushroom Broil. Yum! The Bluegrass Salad is an essential, and another favorite is the BBQ Pulled Pork Platter. You can't go wrong with any selection on the menu.

BELLAVIA RESTAURANT
Bella Via combines a wonderful pizzeria with a classic Italian restaurant. Sometimes we come in just for the appetizers, the best of which are the Antipasto Della Casa, the Caprese, and the Carciofini Al Forno. If you're in the mood for a chicken dish, you'll want to try the Pollo Cacciatore or the Pollo Alla Parmigiana. Seafood lovers, you'll want to try the Halibut Piccata or perhaps the Salmone Alla Griglia. Everything here is fantastic and highly recommended!

We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a great French meal.

MICHAEL'S CHICAGO STYLE RED HOTS
Michael's Chicago Style Red Hots have been a part of the Highland Park experience since 1977, and we cannot imagine visiting the city without stopping in for a quick bite to eat. Their motto is, "Not fast food... good food fast!" We love all their hot dogs and hamburgers, especially the Char Polish Sausage and the Double Buffalo Burger! Wraps and salads make excellent choices for the health conscious in your group. They've also got really great frozen yogurt which makes a delicious dessert!

JAMBA JUICE
Jamba Juice is famous for their smoothies, having hailed from California, bringing their unique blend of all natural goodness to our home state of Illinois. They've got more than just smoothies though! We've become hooked on their fresh juices, and it's a nice change of pace to stop for a healthy juice in the middle of the work day in lieu of (or in addition to!) that usual cup of coffee! Great place to stop for a snack on a busy day too! We love Jamba Juice. If you haven't tried it yet, it's about time that you do.
