Love this tidy corner bistro! Food is spot on. I had the beet salad with chicken and the tomato soup ~ delicious. Have been for brunch before too, and highly recommend the mushroom toast and the chocolate chip pancakes.

I went here for a quick bite to eat by myself and I really enjoyed my meal. I got a steak salad which was not what I expected, but was way better!! The atmosphere is cute, and slightly upscale. Service was good too.

Thanksgiving buffet was delicious! Turkey was moist and the mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious among all the other buffet items. Our server was extra friendly and attention. 2 years in a row here for Thanksgiving ❤️

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Our servers, Ángel and Jessica, were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, especially the Half Chicken, which was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every moment of my visit and definitely plan to come back soon with my family. Highly recommended!!

Had a lovely brunch today at Corner Bistro. The American breakfast and Avocado Benedict were both good. We particularly appreciated our server, Henry. He was welcoming and kind and went the extra mile to make the overall experience a good one during a busy Sunday brunch. We will definitely return.

This was one of the most warm and welcoming places I’ve visited during my trip to the Chicago area. The ambience was mellow and clean, the music was easy going and warm and the staff was inviting and friendly. I visited on my own but felt included within the family of those who worked there, it feels like a community. The food is incredible too, so balanced and the menu has great options. My waiter was particularly gracious, Julia, I believe her name was. She maintained an air of lightness and warmth within the space that somehow inexplicably made the food taste in better. I will absolutely be back, what a wonderful experience

We recently had the pleasure of working with Skylar and the team for our wedding client's reception. It was a great experience from emails to our final walkthrough to the big night. The family-style food was a huge hit with the guests. The intimate private space upstairs provided the perfect setting for their celebration, offering a cozy and elegant atmosphere. We highly recommend Evanston Corner Bistro for your event! (photos by Becca Heuer)

Wow! In my experience, when I go to a restaurant in the same building as a hotel, I'm usually skeptical, fearing overpriced, low-quality, small portions. Not here. The food is moderately priced, great quality, and offers picture-perfect portions. They had a large patio, but my date and I decided to stay inside near the bar. Tyler was our server; he was funny and a bit cheeky. He knew when to stop by with a refill and when to let us enjoy our time alone. On his recommendation, I tried their Espresso Martini made with tequila. I'm not typically a tequila drinker, but he sold me on it. Let's just say I didn't think I would ever enjoy tequila like that. Tyler was honest about the menu. I am spice-averse, and he told me what he has had and what he likes. Nervously, I ordered the Buffalo marinated crispy cauliflower, but it was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and crispy. I had the Iberico Pork Skirt Steak, and it was tender, juicy, cooked to perfection, and the flavors blew my mind. To finish off our meal, I ordered the Salted Caramel Bar. It was so good that I ordered one to go. With dessert, I had their lakefront punch cocktail to close out our meal. When heading to the bathroom, I noticed a really nice upstairs banquet space. It looked pretty classy and unexpected in a good way. Overall, this is a really cute spot for a date or a business lunch. There are plenty of options with local drafts and non-alcoholic cocktails. You'll find vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menu items. The portions were spot on for the price and the flavors were chef's kiss. The only thing I didn't like is there is a 3% fee for credit cards, so bring cash.

I hosted my husbands surprise 40th Birthday for 50 people at the Bistro's Private Dining Room. I instantly fell in love with the space on my tour. It is gorgeous on it's own with lots of natural light and required very little added decorations (and this is coming from a very picky Interior Designer). They were also able to accommodate kids, which was a huge plus! Skylar, the event manager, was incredible and went above and beyond in every way to make our event extra special! She worked with me to plan a menu and bar package that worked for our budget and around food allergies. She was so great with my endless list of questions. She even helped me come up with a plan to keep the surprise going when we checked in and loaned us her laptop when we realized we forgot our iPad so that we could play our own music. I cannot thank her enough! Also, a huge shout out to the staff - Estrella (Server), Andreas (Server/bartender), John (Bartender), and Mari and Joe (Chefs). You were all excellent, very friendly, and made our event a huge success! And the food was delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend the Bistro for events!
