A romantic evening for you and your wife, featuring Southern-inspired cuisine with a fine dining twist at Bluegrass.

At Bluegrass in Highland Park, the soul of the South resuscitates in every bite of their robust, comfort-laden fare. The shrimp jambalaya fiercely warms your insides while the ribs, a towering monument to carnivorous delights, might play hard-to-get with their tenderness. If you've got the stones, attack the one-pound burger, a behemoth that begs a battle cry before the first bite. Live bluegrass strums a heartstring, speaking Americana with every pluck and fiddle. The service? It's artistry—our waiter a connoisseur, the water guy a maestro. Every once in a while, the top-hat man, 'the manager', saunters by to ensure your night’s queued up just right. The scene might lack pictorial prowess, but when the smoked Old Fashioned hits, carrying a smoky kiss deeper than any Southern drawl, you're transported. Bubbles the fish might side-eye your ethical compass, but here, even the cocktails might harbor secrets. Bluegrass, with Mardi Gras flair and a penchant for the busy, remains an exclamation mark in the diary of a hungry traveler.
