Evanston Corner Bistro 703 Church Street, Evanston, IL 60201

"This was my first visit since Evanston Corner Bistro took over from formerly Thomas & Dutch / Farmhouse and I must say that they hit a home run! I love the new decor and layout and had a wonderful time dining there and celebrating my friend’s 90th birthday. We both enjoyed a delicious brunch (Eggs Benedict with a homemade biscuit and Avocado & Goat cheese sandwich with a fried egg & perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes ) The food was served quickly, looked great and tasted even better. The portions are generous and provide excellent value for money. We were equally delighted with our server and the friendly and welcoming hostess. I will definitely be back soon to try their lunch and dinner menu. This is a great new dining venue in the heart of Evanston!"

"Very nice place beautifully arranged. The food was very good and it came really quick. The only counterpart is that they don’t have a great variety of desserts. Attention was ok. Not because of their attitude but because of lack of personnel. Bear in mind they charge an extra 3% on credit card payments, so it’s more convenient to pay cash."

"The place has potential but needs to work on some things. The service was very nice. Our waiter was attentive and the service was neither rushed nor slow, just right. I had the pork chop and it was dry and not much flavor. The apple butter and sliced apples with it were nice. One son liked the fried chicken sandwich the other did not. The fries that came with our meal were not good. My son who eats everything and is very easy over all said he felt they were done in an air fryer. Fries at a bistro need to be delicious. I enjoyed the non-alcoholic apple cocktail, my husband enjoyed his wine and the risotto. I would go back and give them another chance as the atmosphere was nice, the service very good and perhaps we just didn't order the right stuff."

"The team here is excellent from front of house to the back kitchen. They were graciously able to accommodate a table of 6 on a Saturday night with no reservations. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food - from the generous double decker burgers that satisfied hungrier eaters to the flavorfully complex salads that were a perfect fit for those looking for lighter fare. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a well curated menu of refined crowd pleasers. The only thing I’d keep in mind is that the dishes seem to reflect hotel pricing rather than a neighborhood spot where locals can come back to every week. But you get what you pay for!"
