Food Scene

Interesting, ever-changing menu with an open kitchen where you can watch these superior chefs at work. Boltwood is named after a wing of Evanston High School which the founders, local guys, attended.

I was skeptical at first but now I'm addicted! A sushi burrito is really a huge hand roll filled with spicy tuna, crab salad, yam and veggies. You can't beat their lunch special.

The atmosphere of the place is warm and intimate. It's a favorite for large parties or for couples. The lamb pizza is fabulous.

Sichuan pepper is featured at this restaurant. It's an unusual sensation for my tongue but makes for an absolutely delightful cuisine.

Parks & Nature

Bike, stroll, jog or skate along the lake front. It's always a treat because the lake never looks the same twice. In the summer there are art and music festivals near the pond. Also concerts on a week night. There's picnic tables and barbecues available. Just make sure to watch for reserved areas.
