From the team behind Market House on the Square, the upscale seafood restaurant will open in Lake Forest Saturday.
Great news for foodies – the North Shore is finally about to get an upscale seafood restaurant, courtesy of the same creative team behind Lake Forest’s Market House on the Square. MH Fish House will open in downtown Lake Forest on the 29th, sharing a building with the Market House. (Fish House will be upstairs, and will have a separate entrance and kitchen.) “We knew when we bought the building that we wanted to have a new restaurant back there,” Mark Westcott, owner of both Market House and MH Fish House, said. “We didn’t rush it…but after about a month it became clear that one thing that was missing on the North Shore is a really good seafood restaurant.

Breakfast treat is the focus of a new restaurant at Deer Park Town Center.
Ever had a club sandwich on a waffle? How about a chicken cordon bleu sandwich, also served on a waffle? These are just a couple of the offerings at a new restaurant in Deer Park Town Center. The Waffle Gourmet, which opened this week, is all about waffles, as its name implies. There are sandwiches — both of the breakfast variety and for lunch or dinner — and desserts, all served on waffles. Guests can also get a basic waffle for just $5 and add a variety of toppings at various prices, from an egg over easy at $1 to chicken tenders at $2. "Most people don't think of a waffle as a sandwich," said Tom Sorrels of Lake Zurich, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Shari. "The waffle is not heavily-sweetened and it's not malt-based," added …
