I had my work dinner program here last night and every one of us were blown away by the food and service! What a gem! The owner is the sweetest and her experience in the industry shows. This place could be in the city and would kill it with the food and the wine list alone. Go! Amazing place!
Outdoor seating at night is great. Plants make atmosphere nice.
Great food and great service. Oysters were amazing and are on par, if not better than Pops for champagne in Chicago.
First time and ate outside at a tent setup due to covid, luckily there was heaters. The sever was great, sanitizer on the table, and the food was very good. We had a little room for desert, and it did not disappoint. I believe they make all their deserts there, nice change from most other places. I can't wait to try something new next time.
We ordered the salmon and halibut, and both dishes were outstanding. Wines by the glass are half off on Thursdays, and carry-out bottles of wine are half-off every day of the week. Scott was our server, and he was amazingly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and wine selection, and accommodating to our party's gluten allergy. We will definitely be back!
Northbrook / northern Chicago suburbs you have yourself a very special place here ! It’s your quaint little Michelin star restaurant nestled in a suburb. Every time I come to town - I start and finish the trip here. Food quality , food preparation, the wonderful balance of flavor, acidity, sweetness, etc. - all top of the line. My only complaint is, they haven’t opened a branch in my hometown yet.
What a great little gem in a strip mall. The food was so fresh and full of flavor. The shaved brussel sprout salad is very clean with just the right amount of citrus vinaigrette. The miso salmon was on point and cooked to perfection. Our server, Scott was very informative and made for a fun experience.
What can I say about this place. Oh my god, this is my absolute favorite restaurant. I discovered this place a few years ago and since then it has been my go-to restaurant for any occasion. Birthday? House 406. Valentines Day? House 406 please!! This place offers a delicious and fresh seasonal menu, and over the years there has not been one item I disliked from the menu. The lobster crostinis are my absolute favorite and a must-have every time I come here. Tonight my boyfriend and I started scarfing down the food before I got to take a picture, but I had the short rib and brisket burger and he had the brown sugar salmon special. Everything was so tasty and cooked to perfection. On top of the delicious food, the service here is incredible. The servers are so nice and personable, all you hear from other tables is laughs and everyone is having a good time. The atmosphere is intimate and modern, and the restaurant is always clean and beautifully decorated. The owner, Jennifer, has done such a wonderful job with this place. The only thing I would recommend would be to expand this restaurant to seat more customers, because this place is definitely going to keep growing!
I’m so delighted to give House 406 a 5 star review! Dinner was wonderful, dietary restrictions were well accommodated, sitting outside was lovely, and the inside tables looked great, too. We loved the lamb chops, lobster appetizer, salmon, vegan chocolate gelato… we loved and devoured everything. Thank you for a terrific evening and great meal! Just had another wonderful meal at House 406. Everyone is so nice. My dietary restrictions were handled perfectly with plain whitefish and kale. My mother loved her salmon with rice noodles.
What an amazing meal. Husband and I are big foodies and the food here is set at a high standard. The complimentary rosemary bread came freshly baked. Recommended: —brussel sprouts salad (perfect blend of ingredients and dressing) —pork chop (omg that sauce on top and how do they make the broccoli that delicious?!), —halibut (great balance of flavors) —yuzu sour Skip: lobster app (portion is tiiiny and the sauce was heavy handed, yummy though but not worth the $24), coconut milk mocktail (unusual taste…not my favorite) Tip: go between 430-530pm on Saturday — house cocktails are 50% off! Pricey meal ($200 for the two of us) but the dishes were just fantastic and service was wonderful as well. We will be back!
