Lush Food Drink Evanston

3.5 Stars to be precise and I would definitely go back. What they 're very good at are drinks. Wine selection is on a different level. Even their mocktails and ice tea were simply fantastic, the latter which I enjoyed thoroughly. Ambiance was great. It 's more of a date night venue. But I could see a small group of friends here.As for the food, I wouldn 't say 'hit or miss '. But there was something better than the others. We ordered the truffle fries simply to munch on before we got our main entrees. Those were amazing. Really festive with a great amount of garlic to lift those fries taste. Outstanding. As for the meals, we got the Great Lakes Walleye and The Lobster Roll. The Walleye was unfortunately fried to deep with oil and butter yet had no taste as it didn 't really have much seasoning. The lobster roll was certainly better but again, could have used some seasoning. Garlic, salt, mayo. Something to add to the flavor. That being said it was still an enjoyable experience. Waitstaff was amazing. They really made a concerted effort to make sure that patrons sitting outside on the patio still got plenty of attention. And for that I will definitely go back.

It 's cute and dreamy inside, but every time we go the service is horrible. Food is mediocre at best also.Tonight, we sat there for more than a half hour before someone came to take our order, only to be told the kitchen had just closed minutes ago. We literally sat there for 30 minutes trying to get service, to be utterly shut down. And when I tried to politely say to the bartender, you know, we 've been here for a half hour and we only want some cheese, his reaction was just yeah, so? Unfortunately, this was not a one time experience. Every time we 're in there, it feels like there are plenty of staff just standing around and no one to take care of us. Customer service matters, and damn do they get it wrong everytime.We won 't be back.

I had great expectations for this place since I in Italy came in for wine. They have a great selection of wines and spirits and a solid looking menu. Unfortunately I tried the food and it was good at best. French onion soup was a pile of cooked onions, not French onion soup. Burger was ok, not worth the $19 and neither were the soggy fries for $8. I didn’t leave very satisfied. Go there for the wine and drinks and save your appetite for somewhere else.

Terrible experience. The house cabernet was actually $22 a glass, the Lush burger was terrible I took one bite and sent it back (no one asked why) and we were charged a $5 credit card charging fee. Almost $200 for a basic and limited charcuterie plate, red wine and mediocre cheese burger for 2 people. The only decent thing was the truffled chickpeas. Will not return or recommend. Very disappointing.

Nice atmosphere and good service and food. Let down by high prices and chilly temperature inside (January). Burger cost $19 but fries were extra at another $8. Throw in a beer for $9 and you're getting on for nearly $40 for a very basic meal.
