Best Dining Bars in Riverwoods

Quick service, friendly staff, food was delicious.

I have been to several different Lazy Dogs and have never been disappointed. I thoroughly enjoy the food and the atmosphere. I always recommend The Lazy Dog.

Been to Lazy Dog before and again the dinner was great. We had a "newbee" waiter, William being trained by Morgan. He was great and will be an excellent server! Lettuce wraps are my favorite!

What an incredible discovery just five minutes from where my wife and I live! The understated exterior gives little hint of what awaits inside. Walk through the door, though, and you enter a space that feels inviting, enchanting, and full of personality. From the seating and music to the service and food, everything made us feel comfortable and excited to be there. This was our first visit, and our server, Steven B., helped make it exceptional. He was welcoming and offered several suggestions that turned out to be absolute bullseyes. His recommendations helped us explore the menu and made our first experience that much more enjoyable. We were also impressed by how readily the servers helped one another. That teamwork contributed to the warm, attentive atmosphere throughout the evening. We started with the Crispy Green Beans and Charred Shishito Peppers, and both were delicious! They were a terrific introduction to the meal and left us eager for what was coming next. For dinner, we tried several sushi selections, and I can honestly say it was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The flavor and presentation made each selection a pleasure. When food makes you pause and appreciate what you’re eating, you know the kitchen is doing something special. Whoever developed this menu deserves enormous credit, and the team preparing it deserves just as much praise. My wife ordered the “Marageisha,” and its arrival was an experience of its own. The dry ice swirling around the drink created a spectacular presentation. She loved the cocktail, and we both enjoyed the creativity that went into serving it. Then came dessert: The Iron Dome x Nut & Candy. What a finish! It was outstanding and brought one more memorable moment to an evening already filled with them. Do yourself a favor and leave room for dessert. Even the check arrived with a thoughtful touch, presented in a little box. Such a simple, imaginative detail, but it fit perfectly with the personality of the r

It was an overall nice experience. I am glad my family and me went out.
