Abigail's American Bistro 493 Roger Williams Avenue, Highland Park, IL 60035

"Very good food (10 ounce New York strip steak, Chinese barbecued ribs), conveniently located in the Ravinia section of Highland Park. Easy parking on the street right in front. We ate here last night before an indoor concert at Ravinia. Place was packed for a Tuesday night. Tables are too close together, and the restaurant is too noisy, service is pretentious."

"Great service here, and really cool environment. We counted 6 different types of light fixtures but they all work well together! The food is top quality. They bring some biscuits with cheese out in a cast-iron skillet for the table to share. My butternut squash soup was delicious. My wife had a salad and cauliflower side, both very tasty. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and paid attention to my wife's vegan food preferences by bringing out bread without cheese."

"Sat at the bar and had Seared Pork Belly as a starter and then the steamed Mussels as am entre. Food was excellent and the staff very attentive. The manager even made the effort to check in with me"

"We loved the food and our waiter was gr8. What we did not enjoy was the sound level... WAY too loud. It's one of those places with tile floors, hard wall treatments, etc. The conversation level at each table begins to rise as the collective din makes it hard to hear."

"Enjoyed our dinner last night. Food was amazing. From appetizers to entrees all were really tasty and served hot!!! Our server Stute took very good care of us. It gets loud in the dining room as it gets later in the evening. Outdoor dining is available during summer months. Difficult to find parking especially on nights when there’s a concert at Ravinia so plan ahead. Attire is neat casual. Highly recommended!"
