Prairie Grass is a wonderful restaurant for a special occasion or if you feel like having a slightly fancier night out. The food and service are excellent! I got the date and fig salad as an appetizer, the Lake Superior White fish with mashed potatoes for my main course, and the banana cream pie and chocolate cake for dessert. I definitely plan on coming back soon!

First time diner here. The burger (advertised as award-winning) was a taste explosion in my mouth - delicious. Not a fan of potato wedges with skin still on, but I even devoured those. Attentive wait staff also. Well worth a meal(s) here; stop by!

Prairie Grass Cafe was absolutely amazing in every aspect. The food was high quality. The service was superior. The atmosphere was relaxing.
We ordered Corn Fritters for an appetizer. I have never eaten anything like that before. Crisp on the outside. Moist on the inside. It was flavorful and so satisfying. For our entrees we ordered Halibut with slaw and the chicken cutlets. Everything was cooked perfect. There was loads of flavor. For dessert, we ordered mango ice cream and a chocolate cake. The mangos came from India! How cool is that. The spirit and wine list will satisfy any connoisseur.
The service was amazing. We got to meet the chef and service manager. They were friendly and awesome to talk to. They gave us great recommendations and explained the philosophy of their restaurant. Everything is made in house except for the bread which is made at a local bakery. They source their ingredients from local farms and waters when possible. Some of their fish are flown in from Alaska or New Zealand.

The crispy duck special was very good with a large portion size and a light sauce along with a plum and corn slaw. Pecan crusted pan fried tilapia on creamed spinach was also good.. Both the beet and fig salads were good. The service was very nice and outdoor seating was open air with a tent for overhead coverage. Employees wore masks.

While in town at the Renaissance Hotel, we stopped by Prairie Grass Cafe. It is a big WOW! Loved the freshness, use of local food and products, and the quality of the presentation and taste. Servers were also professional and made good recommendations. I wish I lived in town. I would be there frequently. Many of us got the Lake Superior Whitefish since we never get it where we live. Tasted like it was caught and cooked the same day. The produce also was amazingly fresh. Tomatoes like they were just picked and the broccoli was steamed to perfection. It is loud when busy so maybe I would have sat outside but many restaurants are too loud now.

Started our lunch experience with Cosmos. Perfectly Blended nice and cold. Our lunch consisted of Vegetable lentil soup, salmon and bass. The Dishes were absolutely delicious.And served by a very professional staff.Our waiter was not only attentive but took time to chat with us a bit during a very busy lunch time.The chef / owners husband came to our table for a visit as well. We are looking forward to going back for dinner. If you find yourself in Northbrook, Prairie Grass Cafe is a must stop for a great meal.

Just had takeout (and shared): the half chicken dinner, acorn squash, and rice with nuts; with the fig/date salad (we added tomato); and Broccoli; with double chocolate cake for desert. It was magnificent! tasted so fresh and delicious on a cold snowy evening. Couldn't have cooked something this good at home, and we are pretty good cooks.

For dinning it Prairie Grass is AMAZING... for take out.. meh, I expected they would have perfected the travel-ability of food having a year+ of pandemic to work it out. The veggie burger was tasteless, but no complaints on the salads, and more sturdy foods like chicken breast & mashed potatoes.
