You don't have to break the bank here but I definitely did due to a friend's birthday. However, that aside very friendly staff and the waiter helped me out with all my questions regarding their ???? 's.

Our server was great... Very knowledgeable . Food was mediocre at best.... salty. If you like your rice undercooked & being ignored by the bartender after spending over $150, this is the place for you.
Inovasi offers great home grown American cuisine . Find out more at the Lake Forest Patch: http://bit.ly/kIc469
The food is good but service was really slow.
Excellent beer selection . Highy rec the Lake Bluff Brewing Co. stout .
Try the Vesper , it's delicious if I do say so myself.
New menu is very disappointing. Atmosphere was nice, but food is VERY lackluster. Certainly not "gourmet" as advertised.
Great comfort food! Loved the gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. For starters - delicious marinated olives, also green peppers, and an interesting nut mix. Great upscale atmosphere. - Robyn Grossberg
My burger was great (with roasted red peppers) and the fries were delicious. Could give 5 Guys some competition! - FJ Bering
Chicken salad=divine. Caesar wrap, sunny's salad, dougs club- all delish. Don't miss the homemade milkshakes - Lauren DeLany
