The Charcoal Oven Restaurant (http://www.charcoalovenrestaurant.com/) was founded by Phillip Georgouses and is now enjoying an unbelievable resurgence under his daughter Maria and her husband Rich. Phil purchased this wonderful establishment after he returned from WWII and named it "The Charcoal Oven Restaurant (http://www.charcoalovenrestaurant.com/)". The concept is a supper club that has stood the test of time due to the incredible food, service, authenticity and cleanliness. Some of the menu items have changed with the differing and varying food tastes as time has evolved. Their menu consists of steaks, chops, fresh fish that comes every day, chicken, pistachio (a Greek lasagna), ribs and moussaka (a Greek meat and vegetable casserole) fresh salads with homemade dressings that are made by Sonja Carlson (a very long time waitress), fresh bread and their homemade cottage fries. All meals include a starter , salad, green vegetable, the entree and the cottage fries. All of the desserts are homemade and truly fresh.
This wonderful gem also has many different beers and wines which will be featured during various tastings in the near future. The tasting will allow the public to sample different flavors without having to order a full glass of either the different beers or wines.
Their clientele consists of third generation family members, families with kids and members of the Presbyterian Homes. Maria and Rich are very happy to report that their business is up and booming. Their customers have turned into family and friends which also helps to add to the environment and charm.
Maria and Rich want to thank all of their patrons and customers for their continued business and want to remind everyone that they always provide fresh food that is well made, never frozen and made with tender care.
This beautiful dining room can fit seventy people for any type of event but please call ahead so all of your needs are taken care of for a perfect party.
I had the pleasure of sampling the Greek lamb chops, salad with blue cheese which was outstanding, asparagus, warm bread, and cottage fries. All of these great offerings were so well flavored, homemade and cooked to absolute perfection. The portions are very plentiful and are flavorful, tasty and well made.
This is a wonderful destination for a supper club experience, dinner with the family, entertaining a client or for a very special event.
As Phil says: "You won't be disappointed!"

Noburi Sushi: Top of the Line QUALITY Japanese Sushi and Cuisine
Noburi Sushi is Chicago's North Shore premier and top quality Japanese cuisine and sushi. This wonderful establishment is owned by Noboru Nakamura who originally came to New York from Tokyo and then came to Chicago in 1988. He was previously the President of Akai Hana in Wilmette and left to open Noburi Sushi two years ago.
His very fresh ingredients (I can't stress enough how fresh the food is.) come from wonderful vendors from his previous relationships at Akai Hana. The menu is made of very traditional Japanese dishes and are not Chinese or come from any other Asian culture or cuisine. Freshness and quality are very important to Noboru.
His clients consist of families, business people, High School students who bring their parents, Toddlers, Senior Citizens and friends who get together for lunch. The establishment is immaculate and one can eat off the floors. Noboru waits the tables himself and says that customer service is highly important to him and to the employees.
They were featured in the Pioneer Press on May 6, 2010 in an article that was written by Lee A. Litas which speaks highly about their quality and prestige within the community.
The future may hold another restaurant and possibly some additions or substitutions to their menu.
Noboru is very well versed in the cuisine of his homeland and loves customers who understand that his establishment is strictly of the Japanese cuisine (so there is no fried rice, crab Rangoon or chicken cashew) and those who ask for suggestions.
The menu includes vegetable appetizers such as goma, edamame, vegetable croquette and vegetable tempura. The meat appetizers range from goyza, yakitori to Kara Age and a Beef Teriyaki Appetizer. They offer great teriyaki offerings such as chicken, chicken and vegetable to Chilean Sea Bass Teriyaki. There are also different entrees such as chicken cutlets, Vegetable Tempura Oyster Soup and Sukiyaki. They have noodle dishes, various salads and of course countless sushi offerings.
For dessert, they have ice cream, Mochi Ice Cream, Mochi Daifuku and Cheesecake.
This author had the pleasure and privilege of trying the goyza, Chicken and Vegetable Teriyaki, the white rice (which was GREAT!!)the salad with carrot and ginger dressing and an unbelievable piece of cheesecake.
Noboru Sushi is just an absolute wonderful treat and great staycation to Japan. I highly recommend a trip with your family or friends.
