Tree Top at Ravinia

"We made a reservation here before a show because the menu listed online said there would be Spanish / Mediterranean food. We got there and it was a Pan Asian buffet. The food was not great. The outside seating area looked nice but we were sat inside and it was just ok as far as atmosphere. The website also advertised a charcuterie spread, and there was not much left when we arrived. We asked if there would be more and we were told no. As we wrapped up eating, they restocked the charcuterie but we had already finished up. The waiter was nice but overcharged us for drinks. When we tried to get it fixed there was quite a bit of confusion as to how to remove the extra drink charge. My credit card statement does not match what the manager had told me would happen. Overall a not great experience. We definitely won’t return."

"The atmosphere is great. The food was good. The theme was Southern BBQ. My brother loved the pozole! Keeping in mind that it’s a buffet. The manager, Brandon was excellent. He is very caring and attentive. Evelyn, our server, was warm and super friendly. My brother and I had a great time. The staff is the restaurant’s greatest asset."

"The server and manager were really great to serve our special request. Food was upscale and delicious though not too many “vegan” options. Definitely a go to experience to dine-in while being in Ravinia park for concerts or festivals."

"We came with a group of friends to have dinner prior to the Gipsy Kings concert. We had an amazing time at Tree Top. There were several food stations that were constantly refreshed. They had a delicious trout, tapas, salads, cheese boards...too many choices to pick from. Also, the dessert station was delightful. The highlight of our dinner was our waiter. Peter was extremely attentive, charismatic and kind. Top notch service! We will definitely be back before our concerts."

"Nice atmosphere and buffet presentation but the food itself was very mediocre. All dishes that were supposed to be hot were lukewarm at best and cold at worst. The “fresh” veggies on the charcuterie board did not look fresh (e.g., dark spots on the cauliflower where it was cut). The blueberry pie was quite good but you risked chipping a tooth on the pecan pie tartlet. Very disappointing for the upscale nature of the venue and the price. The manager did come to speak with us and apologized for the experience which was appreciated, but doesn’t change the quality concern."
