Savor the Splendor The English Room
Long considered one of the most celebrated fine dining venues on Chicago’s North Shore, the English Room is our culinary heart and soul. Reminiscent of an English manor, it is equally suited for special occasions and everyday dining. Whether guests are enjoying the formality and rich tradition of the English Room, the sunlight and sophistication of the adjacent Garden Room, or simply soaking up the warmth of the secluded Courtyard patio, exquisite cuisine paired with one of the area’s most extensive wine lists is a moment to be cherished.
Of special note: Our extensive wine list holds a 19-year winning streak for Wine Spectator’s "Most Outstanding Wine Lists in the World" and, in 2017, we received the prestigious "two glasses" nod for the second year in a row – one of only 1,168 restaurants world-wide.

Dress To Impress
The English Room does not have a formal dress code. It is a more formal dining room, as opposed to our more casual restaurants, the White Hart Pub and The Bar. In the evening, some of our guests will be in suits, while others will wear designer jeans. Most men will wear jackets as they are joining us for a special occasion or business dinner, but they are not required. We only ask that you are comfortable, respectful to other diners, and enjoy your time at Deer Path Inn.
