Ravinia Festival - Park View Restaurant

Such a great place to relax and listen to live music. The "sit back and observe" atmosphere is perfect for a summer night out. Even if it's not your...

Fantastic festival atmosphere. Just know that majority of the people will come here with extravagant picnic plans. Be sure you do too, to not feel left out....

We came here for a kid's music concert on a very hot august day. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time getting there because there is a TON of traffic...

Stick with the burger here, the kitchen staff isn't up to speed on the more demanding dishes, staff shortages?? the sea bass was burnt, the pasta was overcooked... the manager made ammends, but would not reccomend this for more then drinks and maybe the cheese board, the drinks were good!

Ravinia holds a special place in my heart. Most summers I try to make at least one outing. I pack up the outdoor blanket, a couple chairs, the mini table...

They serve cold food. Stale buns. Water down drinks. Lousy service. Poor sounding music system throughout the park. I would recommend buying a CD and listening to it in your car while you go through a drive-through at McDonald’s.

Convenient location for dinner at Ravinia with a nice view of the park. That’s about it. Limited menu. Sea bass was mediocre, drinks skimpy (the bill wasn’t). Since we were practically the only ones eating there, you’d think they would have had the time to get our cocktails served in 10 or 20 minutes, or at least heated the mashed potatoes.

Outside the covered pavilion there is no view. Tho sold out it is half empty. No screens are set up for reserved lawn. So i put my 3 yr old on my...

The Parkview charges premium prices for sub premium food. I had the “Angus Brisket “ which was more gristly fat than meat. What meat there was was tough. My wife had “ocean trout” that the menu said came from Lake Superior. Reality checks: Lake Superior is not an ocean. It was very disappointing $182 experience.

This is easily the worst restaurant I’ve eaten at in 10 years. Avoid at all costs. Any Ravinia picnic will taste better. The pre-dinner bread was the highlight of the meal.
