Bank Lane Bistro

670 Bank Lane, Lake Forest, IL, 60045

The South Gate Cafe building dates back to 1901 when the northern third of the structure was built to house the first city fire department. It consisted mainly of three large bays that were used for horse drawn fire wagons. In the mid-1920's the city more than doubled the building to accommodate its police station and new fire engines. When the City built a new public safety facility in 1968, the building went into semi-retirement for nearly 12 years.
Then in 1980, the building was purchased from the City by Larry Ross and a small group who rehabilitated it as the South Gate Cafe. The name is derived from the street along its north border, which was Howard Van Doren Shaw's planned entrance or gateway to Market Square.
Seventeen years later, the South Gate Group put a final addition on the east side of the building that houses the Bank Lane Bistro and Bank Lane Bakery. The Bistro is a small, casual Contemporary-American restaurant with a wood burning oven, located on the second floor. The Bakery is on the main floor, bakes its own breads daily, and is open for self-service breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Great care has been taken each step of the way to compliment the architectural integrity and beauty of the original structure and to enhance it with extensive landscaping and an outdoor patio.
The building has been certified as a National Historic Landmark.

Washington Gardens

256 Green Bay Rd, Highwood, IL, 60040

We at Washington Gardens are proud of our name and the tradition and history associated with it. More than seventy years ago, in 1932, Grandma Angelina Scornavacco opened a beer and wine garden on the corner of Railway and Washington Avenues. The "Gardens" became a familiar and friendly stopping place to both locals and visitors.
In the 40's Tony and Ellen Scornavacco continued the family tradition of providing fine food and a warm atmosphere. In 1944 they served the first pizza to grace restaurant tables on the North Shore. Pizza soon became a customer favorite with the restaurant serving between 300 and 400 hundred pizzas on any given weekend.
In 1982 their son Alex and friend, Bill Bernstein, renewed this tradition at it's current location. Pizza has remained a customer favorite, however the full menu has become more refined over the years. What was once merely a pizza and beer garden has become a sophisticated yet comfortable restaurant with a diverse menu that has something for everyone.
In 2007, when Alex and Bill decided to retire, Jim and Michele Stoecker, acquired the Gardens in order to keep the tradition alive. With a long term lease in place, and no significant changes planned, please come and enjoy as the great staff continues serving relaxing drinks and fine food in that familiar and friendly atmosphere we have all come to enjoy.
Thank you for being a part of Washington Gardens history. We hope to see you soon.
