Reviews for Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest, IL
By far the most handsome place in Lake Forest! Such a charming place to visit all throughout the year. My most favorite time is... Christmas. Enjoying a pre-dinner drink at the bar or in the cozy, hearth room by the stone fire on a blustery day is pure bliss.The service is impeccable and the food is consistently delicious. I prefer eating outside on the patio during the warmer monthsbut equally enjoy the garden room. I usually order the beet and goat cheese salad and a Alaskan Halibut. I’ve enjoyedafternoon tea several times for special occasions and it is always a pleasant experience. I always leave with a box of goodiesfor home! Read more
Grabbed dinner and a cocktail at the casual bar downstairs before a concert. Service was great and so was the atmosphere and... food. Read more
This is everything you would expect from a North Shore wedding and more. Between Windsor Hall and the white glove service I was... impressed from beginning to end. Behind the scenes Felix was my point of contact and he was a total pro. 5 stars! Read more
I’ve sat inside at a table in the bar, and also dined outside by the fireplace. Service is repeatedly excellent. Quality of... food and flavors is wonderful. Outside is nice and peaceful. Down in the bar, it feels a bit enclosed. Read more
Had lunch on the interior courtyard patio. If I had closed and reopened my eyes, I could have imagined that I was transported... to England. So beautiful. The service and food matched the beauty of the Inn. I would gladly go back. Read more
I live close to the Deer Path Inn so I have no need to use their Hotel, though it is regarded as the nicest place in town which... is no secret amongst locals. However, their food, drinks, and service are on a completely different level. I have eaten there adozen or so times (in person and take out) and have yet to have anything less than a stellar meal/service. Their basement bar ismy favorite place in town since the original Lovell's closed (which had a similar basement-bar vibe) though the White Hart Pubis nice as well. The Hot-A$$ Chicken Sliders and the Burger never disappoint! Also, the ENTIRE staff makes everyone feelimportant. You'll be greeted with a smile by everyone you interact with. The building and grounds are beautiful, clean, andinspiring. The only problem can be getting a table but that's to be expected when you deliver like the DPI does! Read more
This hidden gem is amazing. The ambiance, the service, the great food and drinks, it has easily become one of my new favorites.... Artemio, a veteran employee, is amazing person, he explained the history of the Deerpath, the menu, the food options and muchmore, his service was splendid and highly professional. I recommend this place to anyone, regardless if you eat in the EnglishRoom or the White Hart Pub, you cannot go wrong. Thank you guys, I have a reservation for tomorrow and I am so looking forwardto it. Read more
Living in the area over twenty years, this was my first experience at the Deer Path Inn. It was most impressive and delightful.... My daughter and her family are staying in their hotel, and rooms are first class all the way. Wonderful design and layout, wellthought out. There were seven of us for dinner including three grand babies. The menu has something for everyone including thechildren. My dish was the Garganelli pasta with a short rib ragu and shitaki mushrooms. At first I thought it was a strangecombination, but it was a delicious combination of texture and taste, very well executed. They accommodated special dietaryneeds as well as the food for the children. Entrees run between $15.00 and $41.00 à la cart. Since the theme is English, onemight have expected dull boring English food, but that is not the case at all. Everyone at our table really enjoyed theirdishes. The Deer Path Inn is a hidden gem in Lake Forest, Illinois. In addition to the food, I found the service to be top notchas well. I know one of my daughters has been coming here for years, but I don’t know why she never introduced me to thisgem? Tap on the ???? below ???? before you leave. Read more
