Seasoned - Lake Forest

The food is homemade and always DELICIOUS! Not a huge menu but they have many choices and small plates to share. I've introduced many people to this great restaurant and you never had anyone say they didn't love it.

2nd time here for dinner. Had a reservation; arrived to find a private party taking up most of the dining area and very loud and boisterous. We moved to outside table which was nice but server tended to lose track of us. Wine options by the glass are good. Menu is rather limited and narrowly focused as others criticize. Shrimp and meatball appetizers were greasy/oily. Overall would say food is just OK. I will not go back...much better options along the north shore for the same price.

Very friendly. Interesting menu of small and larger plates. Nice evening and able to talk to friends.

We went to Seasoned on a Saturday night. Noticed upon arrival that the neighborhood and strip mall it's located in seemed strangely quiet. Well, that's because the electric power was out in the whole neighborhood as a result of earlier lightning storm. Driving up it looked like maybe they were open or maybe not decided to go to the door and find out. Turns out they were open, had about a half dozen other diners inside, and could still prepare almost anything on the menu except steaks. We had their salmon salad plate, which was quite good. They could still pour wine, too. Bottom line for me is that if a restaurant can serve a nice summertime dinner during a power outage with most of the illumination provided by sunset, then imagine what they can do with all systems working!

Tried it based on Open Reviews. Food was good. A bit pricey for what you get. Pretty empty at 7pm on a Saturday. Certainly not the ambiance we expected. Don't think we'll be back.
