Best high quality restaurants
So I’m a bit obsessed with food.
I grew up in Rockford and have my humble Midwest values, but I moved out to California, silicon value for a few years. I’ve since moved back to Rockford.
In this time in California, I’ve experienced sooooo many incredible restaurants. Many were insane price points and not worth it, but they introduced me to what’s out there. The best of the best.
I’m curious what my fellow foodies feel is the best food in Rockford. High quality, worth the price, best experience.
I think council oak (casino steakhouse) is actually pretty good and worth it if you’re willing to splurge once in a while.
Are there other hidden gem restaurants that maybe don’t get the recognition or credit that they should? Are there specific restaurants in Rockford that try to appeal to be the high end but don’t deliver?
Edit* I was reminded very quickly that Abreo is incredible. I’m also a huge sisters Thai fan. Shoutout to little Lydia’s cafe too for breakfast. Incredible ownership
Also Norwegian is objectively great
