Reviews for The Gallery in Lake Forest, IL
I’ve always said it less is more. 5 apps 5 entrees is the menu. Best meal I’ve eaten in 2022.
Great idea, but poor execution. One of the parts fails miserably. Small limited menu with small portions. Told the server the... first time he asked that we didn't want any alcohol but he asked at least twice more. Wife ordered salmon which was partiallyraw, on a bed of cold quinoa and vegetables. Informed the server of this and he insisted that the salmon was cooked properly aswere the other portions on the plate. My pasta was okay, but nothing special. Two uninteresting deserts. Reasonably priced,but you can get much more interesting food at many other places in the area. The art is great, but doesn't save the food. Read more
The The Gallery's atmosphere is warm and cozy along with the staff. Grab one of their tasty cocktails at the bar or sit down... with friends at a table to share unique, small plates. Fully recommended! Read more
We celebrated my in-laws 40th anniversary at The Gallery. The food was incredible, their team was extremely welcoming and they... helped create an enjoyable and memorable night. We called ahead to let them know about the celebration, so they seated us in aprivate room and their pastry chef called a few days before to plan a special anniversary dessert. First-class people andrestaurant. Read more
Food & ambiance far outshined the service. I had the Jack's Creek Australian Wagyu Filet and my wife had Agnolotti - both were... delicious. That being said, our waitress was less than mediocre; not friendly, didn’t check-in, argued with other waiters,etc. She was so bad, we almost asked the hostess (very kind) for a different waitress all together. Will likely return as thefood was good, but would audible if we were served by the same person. Read more
Delicious cocktails, enjoyed all of the food; halibut with perfectly prepared and very flavorful sides. The gallery paintings... made for an elegant environment. Service was terrific. Will return. Read more
Arguably the best restaurant North of Chicago. The menu is short but diverse and everything is of extremely good flavor and... beautifully served. Great artwork as well, for an immersive experience of a lifetime! Read more
One of our go to places! Limited menu but we'll thought out choices that are superbly executed. The gallery of changing art is... with dining indoors, but the back patio is great on a warm night under the stars. The smoked pork chop was tender and flavorful.Service is attentive and pleasant, but not overbearing. You should go... todaloo! Read more
