Spirit Elephant - Vegan restaurant in Winnetka - 924 Green Bay Rd, USA

This place is a gem!!! 2 of the 3 of us are meat eaters and loved it all. The food was amazing. Drinks are creative and well made craft cocktails. We went on Friday night and restaurant was very busy yet the service was great. We were well attended to. We tried the calamari , gnocchi, Jorge Bourbon Impossible burger, forbidden bowl and warm gooey giant cinnamon roll. Great experience all around and should not be missed!! Will definitely come back and bring more friends.

Excellent cocktails and appetizers! We loved the old fashioned cocktail and the margherita. For apps we got the cauliflower wings and watermelon tuna tower. Both were presented well and had great flavors. Hard to tell from the equivalent counterpart dishes they were imitating. For the main dishes, I could tell much more easily that these are not meat dishes. I got the meatless loaf and was fairly disappointed, even by the carrot and beet. Of course the food didn’t taste bad by any means but it was a noticeable step down compared to the cocktails and appetizers. None of the other dishes were that impressive in our party either - we got Jorge’s burger, the forbidden bowl, the mushroom soup, and the truffle fries. The truffle fries also were worse than other fries I’ve had elsewhere. Again, not bad by any means, but the flavors were lackluster, and the quantity was below average for the price we were paying.

A friend and I made the trip all the way from downtown Chicago to try this place as it was highly recommended. We were very pleased overall. Very creative plant based menu. The ambiance is cute and spacious. The menu is extensive. Our wait staff was nice and attentive. The food was alright. Small portions for the price and my food came out cold. Other than that, we had a nice time.

Stumbled upon this restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime unknowingly what's in-store for us. A delightful surprise is a plant base restaurant! My young nephew and teenage daughter were eager to try! The food was deliciously prepared, very inviting! We ordered Jorge's bourbon burger and harvest salad, and the forbidden bowl is" to die for!! The serving plate was surprisingly very filling! I thought it was not enough for the size that we always used to get, and because it's all plant base, who would have thought! with the atmosphere getting all the sphere of the moment with lots of greenery well displayed catches your mood, we all enjoyed! An adventure for our new palate! I think you should try

So scurmtious, the atmosphere is incredible it’s so cozy and gorgeous inside!! The food is 10/10 and the fact it’s all vegan is amazing! 3/4 of my family eats dairy and meat yet they all said it was incredible and did not notice a difference! Dinner 10/10, dessert 8.5/10 was good but not incredible and service and atmosphere 10/10!! Highly recommend truffle fry’s and burgers!!! Price was very high around 30 bucks person for dinner and 40 bucks if you include dessert but delicious!

Really liked this place! Place was full, but not over crowded. Great atmosphere with plants everywhere, good lighting and people all seeming to enjoy themselves. Fun craft cocktails, with a wide variety of all Vegan menu items.

The food and atmosphere exceeded my expectations. I was expecting an average meal and it was fantastic. I had the gnocchi and the sauce was very delicious. They had great wine options and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant was chicer than I expected as well.

This was my first time visiting and I was disappointed. The server was very kind and accommodating. The food was presented beautifully. The flavors were a bit lacking. My appetizers were onions rings and calamari. The onion rings themselves were bland but the sauce helped. The calamari was actually the best out of everything. Our entrees were burger and lions mane marinara. The burger unfortunately wasn't well cooked (server accommodations was excellent). The sides (au gratin) for the lions mane were also not fully cooked, lions mane was breaded well but again lacking flavor and the argula salad was over dressed with lemon juice. The server saved the day and I will give it another try in the far future.
