We had a great breakfast today! The place is very cozy and welcoming. Special thanks to Rene for the excellent and friendly service! We’ve also visited for dinner before and left with only wonderful impressions!

The atmosphere at the English Room in Lake Forest is very nice calm, classic, and a beautiful setting. The drink presentation was gorgeous. But the food itself was just okay, nothing special. I went to see what the hype was about, but overall I wasn’t very impressed.

The English Room captivates with its authentic atmosphere, transporting you straight into old England. The elegant interior, cozy setting, and pleasant lighting create the perfect space for relaxation or a special evening.
Service deserves a top-notch rating — 5/5. The staff is attentive, polite, and efficient, ensuring every guest feels well taken care of.
Food: 3.5/5. The menu offers interesting options, but the dishes didn’t fully impress. It feels like the kitchen has much more potential, and with slight adjustments to the recipes, the culinary experience could be elevated significantly.
Packaging: 3/5. For takeout orders, the packaging could be improved — a more practical and stylish solution would enhance the experience.
Overall impression: an unforgettable place to visit, but there’s room for improvement. It leaves the feeling that this establishment has great potential to become a true gem of the region.
Although The English Room provides an authentic atmosphere and excellent service, I had a troubling experience during my visit. After my meal, the waiter added a tip to my bill without my consent. This was done without any indication in the menu, which is illegal.
I plan to file a formal complaint with the appropriate authorities about this matter. Be cautious, as such actions cast serious doubt on the honesty of the staff.
This unfortunate incident overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable experience.

A very beautiful place with unique design and interior. Breakfast here was wonderful. I had avocado toast with poached eggs, and my husband ordered eggs Benedict. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thanks to our server Rene for the excellent service. If you’re tired of simple restaurants and looking for something uniquely beautiful, you definitely need to have breakfast here. We will definitely be back.

We recently dined at The English Room at the Deer Path Inn and had a lovely experience. We started with the Wedge Salad and it was decent, though not particularly memorable. It was missing some of the ingredients that were listed on the menu. I had the Mushroom Risotto, which was absolutely fantastic! It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My husband opted for the Airline Chicken, and he thoroughly enjoyed it, praising its tenderness and seasoning. For dessert, we indulged in the Big Arse Chocolate Cake, which was as decadent and delicious as its name suggests! We sat outside so the photos are a little dark. The service was top notch! The atmosphere is why we will be coming back, it is something you have to experience in person. We then explored the lobby and became very interested in the history!
Overall, it was a delightful evening with some standout dishes, and we look forward to visiting again.

The staff, hostess, and overall service were absolutely unacceptable. What was supposed to be a joyful baby shower turned into a disaster from start to finish.
Despite calling ahead multiple times, the hostess was extremely unaccommodating. Upon arrival, she made an inappropriate and disrespectful comment, saying, “Oh, you finally showed up.” This is not how customers should be treated, especially in a service-oriented environment. From beginning to end, it was clear that the staff is in serious need of customer service training.
The food was also disappointing—eggs were overcooked, and the overall quality was poor. The staff was unfriendly, our table received minimal attention, and the service was inadequate throughout the event.
When we asked to move indoors due to an afternoon tea event, we were told we had to finish and leave, with no attempt to accommodate us. Everything felt rushed, which completely ruined the experience.
This was meant to be a very special day for me, and unfortunately, the staff and management made me regret choosing this place.

5pm seating for 5 people.
Celebrating events for family that they never mentioned or asked about though the reservation requested that information.
Table placement required service to constantly put their arms, hands, Armpits over my husband’s and my son’s plates to hand me items or pour water. Seat placement also meant I was pre-bussing the table to the server as well.
Ordered rare filet mignon and received a filet that was medium. I couldn’t eat it and finally sent it back and they took it off the bill. My husband ordered a medium rare lamb and it also arrived medium to medium well. He was too hungry to send it back. Daughters filet did not come with the sauce serving. They did not forget to add a 20% gratuity though.
I was pretty disappointed with the evening.

Our party of six had a wonderful time! Our waiter was fantastic and food was delicious! Good selection. We enjoyed onion soup, halibut, salmon, Dover sole which were all very good. The food was brought out at the same time piping hot. French fries are super good! A must visit. Reservations required. Beautiful room and the hotel is really impressive!

The restaurant has a classy to posh feel which is kind of nice for a change of pace. We went there for lunch and enjoyed the burger and chicken club sandwich. As you would expect, the service is the tops.
