I really enjoyed this place. It was a nice Sunday afternoon and the weather was great so we dined outside. The seating outside is really nice, and so seemed the inside as well. The food was delicious and tasted great (except that my burger we DEFINITELY not cooked medium because it was very dry, but i still give the place 5 stars since that was either my waitress or the cook who dropped the ball there. But it happens. I am sure that if cooked to medium it would be much better). I highly recommend the Grilled Octopus. Bathrooms were nice and clean, which i always pay attention to. They also have good espresso, and not every place has that. I definitely recommend this place and would love to go back.

Exceptional. Delicious food served in a truly breathtaking dining room, centered in a former church. This place has been hyped up quite a bit and it lived up to its reputation, and then some. For one, every dish came out piping hot. Starters - feta dip, scallops, flatbread - were on point. Tasted as good as they looked (see pictures). Really enjoyed my entree, Moroccan couscous in a flavorful broth with veggies and chicken. Well executed and oozing with all sorts of flavors. Dessert (not pictured, as it was eaten too quickly) - was like a mediterranean twist on a twix bar - so good. Service attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

I stopped at The Foxtail on the Lake during a quick 36-hour work road trip to Chicago — and wow, what a find. The restaurant is inside a beautifully converted church, and the atmosphere is stunning: vaulted ceilings, warm wood beams, glowing orb lighting, and a stained-glass window anchoring the space. It’s elegant but still approachable. The bar runs the length of the room with a gorgeous curved counter and luxe seating. It has that perfect mix of upscale and relaxed — the kind of place where you instantly want a cocktail. I ordered a gin and St. Germain cocktail, which was light, floral, and perfectly balanced. We shared a few dishes, and every plate was beautifully presented and delicious. ✨ What we ordered: • Burrata & Fig Jam Toast — creamy cheese with sweet fig jam and perfectly toasted bread. • Mac & Cheese — rich, gooey, golden-topped shells with a hint of truffle. • Little Gem Salad with Grilled Salmon — crisp greens, tomatoes, tortilla strips, and perfectly cooked salmon. The service was warm and attentive without being rushed, and the vibe struck that sweet spot between lively and cozy. We sat at the bar and had a fantastic view of everything happening in the space. For a restaurant we found on a whim, this was an absolute gem. Thoughtful food, beautiful ambiance, and great drinks. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area. 📍 Lake Bluff, IL 🍸 Perfect for: date nights, solo bar dining, or a relaxed but elevated dinner. 👉 If you love local food finds, cocktails, and hidden gems, follow me on Google, Instagram, Facebook, and Beli for more foodie adventures.

Upscale without being snooty. The dining area is gorgeous with the high ceilings and stained glass windows. Outside, the patio is comfy with a great view of the water. The menu is varied, a bit pricey, but worth the cost. Everything we tried was delicious. The salads were fresh and interesting, the appetizers unique, and the mains satisfying. The french fries were crispy and freshy, if a bit salty for my taste. I wish had had room for dessert!

Gorgeous church decorated to perfection. The vibe is amazing. Food and drinks are 50/50. Some dishes are great, some aren’t. Servers are somewhat attentive. I’ve been here a couple times and have only had one time where I had a great server. Today I went for brunch. To be honest I’ve had better brunch dishes elsewhere but id come here again for the vibes.
