Greenwood American Kitchen & Bar

The staff, management and Chef are amazing. We are regulars at this establishment for a reason. The reason is their ability to understand their guest! My special needs son had a moment where I have to leave before I ate and with his to go food. The Chef, Manager, and servers took amazing care of my daughter and hubby and made sure to send my favorite items home with him so I had dinner.

Here's what you need to know: Josh and his team have created the most joyous dining experience for upscale yet casual fare in Highwood. A tight menu which is executed so well with service and ambiance that are simply incomparable. The visuals of the food are amazing (please see pics). Our server Riley was absolutely outstanding too. The patio is the most elegant and vibrant in the north shore. Love the feel of it.

Overall, excellent repeat experience and keeps us coming back for more.

It's one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, fantastic drinks and food with a great atmosphere. You can’t go wrong at Greenwood.

Beautiful outdoor dining area...excellent turkey burger. Avocado toast was uniquely delicious! Also enjoyed the cauliflower and brussel sprouts. My wife's tuna salad looked amazing.

This place is amazingly awesome. Always wonderful nice staff and amazing ownership. Love this place - super glad it’s around the corner from us.

Fun restaurant with super food and first rate service. Valet parking got a bit backed up, but a nice evening!

My husband and I dined here for dinner over the weekend. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food! Parking we thought was going to be a challenge, but valet was $5 (hard to pass up, and they were very fast with the car). Our table wasn’t ready yet, so we had a cocktail at the bar. Service was great and cocktails were good. Our table was on the patio. It looked like most of the patio could be converted to indoor dining if there was bad weather or it was cold. The windows folded in accordion style, so once the weather does turn they only lose a handful of tables. Our food was delicious! We started with the mushroom sourdough toast which had a lot of flavor. We did not know what to expect; it was surprisingly good! My husband had the steak and I had the chicken paillard. The only complaint about the steak was that it was basically rare when he asked for it medium-rare. Definitely did not stop him from eating it though. The chicken was very tender and delicious! I don’t know what the sauce was that was over the chicken, but it was very appetizing. Great find for a date night in the Highwood area. Will definitely be back!

Really surprised by the negative reviews. It’s a great restaurant, we come often and also pick up. The menu is awesome, it’s beautiful, and always feels nice but is casual enough that we bring our kids to the patio. Grateful to have them nearby as a go-to.

Foods here is amazing! Great restaurant for friends&family to hangout at.

We had the au gratin Mac, double burger, skirt steak sandwich, and brownie dessert. All of which I would recommend. The service, quality, presentation, ambiance, drink selection and staff were above excellent.

We are from Schaumburg IL. Love to visit HP and High Wood. Greenwood it’s an amazing place to dinner. The setting, service and atmosphere it's amazing! Mike, the owner would always make sure that you have the best experience, if impossible, it doable for him! I I'm grateful he took the time to check on our table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves! Greenwood it's definitely recommended! ❤

Best Patio in the northshore. Amazing food to boot. Amazing bar too.

We've honestly never had a bad meal here. Hidden gems - the burgers (turkey is surprisingly good) and unique sides. Killer Brussel sprouts and cauliflower.

The wings are some of the best in thdisappointed.

Menu (especially the entres) changes quarterly so it's hard to recommend Entres but never dissapointed.

Elegant casual dining in Highwood. Great menu, attentive staff and a beautiful dining space.

Great food, great drinks, and great service. If you are in the area definitely a place to put on the list to check out!

Love the environment… simple but satisfying menu. Staff was attentive and friendly. Good selection of cocktails to suit all needs. Looking forward to coming back.

Beautiful place, delicious food, attentive and knowledgeable staff. I recommend the salad that has goat cheese and have them throw tuna in it. So good!

Easy curbside pick-up! This was our first time ordering from Greenwood, and we were so impressed with the quality of takeout (from the food itself to the actual packaging). One of the favorites of the night were the mussels that were still hot by the time we got home - absolutely delicious and the portions were much larger than anticipated. Looking forward to adding Greenwood to our takeout routine now.

What a great surprise. Drinks, meals, service were exceptional.

Loved this place! Food is incredible. Drinks are incredible. Beer list is great. Get the cornbread appetizer - you will not be disappointed. The Fried Chicken Sandwich was also very good. Staff was great. Outdoor seating was very nice, and the decor inside is nice as well. Very approachable and welcoming.

Nice ambience, yummy cocktails. I asked for a pale cosmo and it came perfect the first time. Great job! It is a restaurant that has comfy food. We ordered saganaki and it came like a sandwich so we were a little disappointed with that. All we could taste was the bread. The salad is nothing to write home about. But our burgers were delicious. I asked for crisp fries and they were not. But I did not send them back. Our waiter was great!
