This restaurant is on the same property as the Hilton Orrington/Evanston hotel. It has an outside patio to sit and enjoy your food or drink if you like. It has a cool looking atmosphere inside the restaurant.
We stayed at the hotel for two nights. We had breakfast one morning. The food came out after only a few minutes. We ordered pancakes (not very good), French toast (best dish), Avocado Egg Benedict (good), and sausage scramble eggs (not good). We also had fruit cups (fresh).
On another day we also had lunch. The “American Burger” was okay. The Fried Chicken Sandwich (pretty good), the “Buffalo Grilled Chicken” sandwich (good), and the “Steak Sandwich” (good).
For Dinner we had the “Angus Prime Sirloin” steak with fries (not very good).
Like most hotel restaurants the prices were on the higher side.
The best thing they have is the service. Everyone was great!

I hosted my husbands surprise 40th Birthday for 50 people at the Bistro’s Private Dining Room. I instantly fell in love with the space on my tour. It is gorgeous on it’s own with lots of natural light and required very little added decorations (and this is coming from a very picky Interior Designer). They were also able to accommodate kids, which was a huge plus! Skylar, the event manager, was incredible and went above and beyond in every way to make our event extra special! She worked with me to plan a menu and bar package that worked for our budget and around food allergies. She was so great with my endless list of questions. She even helped me come up with a plan to keep the surprise going when we checked in and loaned us her laptop when we realized we forgot our iPad so that we could play our own music. I cannot thank her enough! Also, a huge shout out to the staff – Estrella (Server), Andreas (Server/bartender), John (Bartender), and Mari and Joe (Chefs). You were all excellent, very friendly, and made our event a huge success! And the food was delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend the Bistro for events!

Atmosphere 10/10; Menu creativity 9/10; staff 9/10; Actual Food – a generous 2 of 10. This place could have been the greatest. Smh – location is ideal, so much opportunity — but it disappoints. Who exactly is in the kitchen? The food is giving ‘hospital / middle school cafeteria’ – soooo pitifully flavorless. There’s no excuse for the lack of flavor, it’s disrespectful. Where’s the love …. where’s the butter?

Wow! In my experience, when I go to a restaurant in the same building as a hotel, I’m usually skeptical, fearing overpriced, low-quality, small portions. Not here. The food is moderately priced, great quality, and offers picture-perfect portions.
They had a large patio, but my date and I decided to stay inside near the bar. Tyler was our server; he was funny and a bit cheeky. He knew when to stop by with a refill and when to let us enjoy our time alone.
On his recommendation, I tried their Espresso Martini made with tequila. I’m not typically a tequila drinker, but he sold me on it. Let’s just say I didn’t think I would ever enjoy tequila like that.
Tyler was honest about the menu. I am spice-averse, and he told me what he has had and what he likes. Nervously, I ordered the Buffalo marinated crispy cauliflower, but it was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and crispy.
I had the Iberico Pork Skirt Steak, and it was tender, juicy, cooked to perfection, and the flavors blew my mind. To finish off our meal, I ordered the Salted Caramel Bar. It was so good that I ordered one to go. With dessert, I had their lakefront punch cocktail to close out our meal.
When heading to the bathroom, I noticed a really nice upstairs banquet space. It looked pretty classy and unexpected in a good way.
Overall, this is a really cute spot for a date or a business lunch. There are plenty of options with local drafts and non-alcoholic cocktails. You’ll find vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menu items. The portions were spot on for the price and the flavors were chef’s kiss.
The only thing I didn’t like is there is a 3% fee for credit cards, so bring cash.

Stopped in here a few weeks ago for a classic American burger. The burgers themselves were solid, with good flavor, cooked well, and hit the spot.
Unfortunately, the fries were a letdown. They came out chewy and tasted like they’d been reheated rather than freshly fried, which took away from the overall experience.
Service was fine, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming, but the sides could use some attention. With a little more consistency in the kitchen, this spot has potential.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Skylar and the team for our wedding client’s reception. It was a great experience from emails to our final walkthrough to the big night. The family-style food was a huge hit with the guests. The intimate private space upstairs provided the perfect setting for their celebration, offering a cozy and elegant atmosphere. We highly recommend Evanston Corner Bistro for your event! (photos by Becca Heuer)

This was one of the most warm and welcoming places I’ve visited during my trip to the Chicago area. The ambience was mellow and clean, the music was easy going and warm and the staff was inviting and friendly. I visited on my own but felt included within the family of those who worked there, it feels like a community. The food is incredible too, so balanced and the menu has great options. My waiter was particularly gracious, Julia, I believe her name was. She maintained an air of lightness and warmth within the space that somehow inexplicably made the food taste in better. I will absolutely be back, what a wonderful experience

The vibe and atmosphere of this restaurant is great. The outdoor patio is nice, specially on summer days. However, I have to say that the food is very very mid. Let’s start with drinks. I went for brunch and asked for a cappuccino. They didn’t have it, only drip coffee. How can it be that a restaurant that serves breakfast and brunch doesn’t have coffees other than drip? How can it be the restaurant of a hotel doesn’t have a cappuccino? In terms of the food. I ordered benedict eggs (in my opinion a dish hard to get wrong). Well, it did go wrong. Very bland taste, no sauce, and they even forgot about the bacon (one of the three ingredients of the benedict eggs I ordered). I get why this place used to be full and now no longer. A lot to improve.

Had a lovely brunch today at Corner Bistro. The American breakfast and Avocado Benedict were both good. We particularly appreciated our server, Henry. He was welcoming and kind and went the extra mile to make the overall experience a good one during a busy Sunday brunch. We will definitely return.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. Our servers, Ángel and Jessica, were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, especially the Half Chicken, which was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed every moment of my visit and definitely plan to come back soon with my family. Highly recommended!!
