Editorial reviews from the web (5)

"Home cooking with flair and panache" comes courtesy of chef-owners Sarah Stegner and George Bumbaris at this "pleasant" Northbrook New American where "rethought" "comfort food" "draws on local ingredients"; the "comfortable" "mess hall"–like space gets "crowded" and "noisy at prime times", but guests generally find "the service and kitchen keep up", delivering a "good value for the quality."

Prairie Grass Cafe Restaurant Review

A sense of order prevails at this pleasant eatery. Sarah Stegner and George Bumbaris --- formerly of The Dining Room at The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago --- bring a whole lot of restaurant experience to the table, and it shows. The contemporary American menu skews toward comfort food, though it's blended with a sense of adventure. Crispy salmon lettuce wraps, for example, pair with peanut-laced Asian...

New American fare emphasizing seasonally available ingredients takes shape at this Northbrook restaurant.

In Short

Tips about this business (10) view all

The Extras: For that pint-sized gourmand in training, order a petite filet mignon with a twice-baked potato.

When to Go: Try to get a prime time reservation well in advance for a bustling scene; aim for Sundays and off hours for calmer confines.

What to Drink: Rohit Nambiar's thoughtfully compiled wine list is compiled of 50 primarily American selections, a dozen of which are offered by the glass.

Where to Sit: Ask for the booths along the windows; avoid the close tables lining the half-wall by the kitchen.

When to Go: Make it a family ritual on the weekends with a brunch featuring smoked salmon Benedict, French style crepes with Greek yogurt and brulee banana and homemade cheese blintzes with apricot jam.
