Greenwood American Kitchen & Bar

Overall, Greenwood was a pleasant experience. Located in an attractive area of Highwood, the exterior and interior in beautiful Modern design. Cool feel and vibe. The service and drinks were good. The food was moderate to good. The Shrimp Cocktail was very good. We had the Double Cheeseburger and the Turkey Burger. Tasty but not exceptional. I think if returning I would try the Rainbow Trout. That may be more their forte and I don’t see it available often. It was my daughter’s birthday, which I noted in the reservation but nothing was done, and was only mentioned in passing as we left. I had wished for a bit more since they did know about it in advance. (valet parking not a plus for me)

The service was rude. Our sever acted like she had someplace better to be and we were rushed. At one point, multiple servers were sent to our table in succession to ask if we were done. The food and ambiance were a solid 3-4 stars, but the service was poor enough to ensure I will not be returning or recommending.

This place is alright and unique in many ways. My advice is if going at night pay the $5 + tip to the valet and factor that in to your meal budget as parking is "No bueno" if location is busy. I give it a 4 for poor parking options, food is great but the menu is small and too unique (got stuck eating a burger instead), also I know it is childish but they use these bio degradable straws that easily fall apart and have a weird texture, just ditch the straw altogether if you want to help the environment. Nice aspects to the restaurant are the heaters from above on the patio, and the bathrooms are unique in that the give you a lot of space for just one person and glass is tempered, no communal bathrooms for such a big place.
