What User likes about Jilly's Cafe:
Excellent service and amazing food! Angie was welcoming and thorough, ensuring was perfect. The crab cakes, frittata, and chocolate lava cake were all exceptional. This place is a must-visit! View all feedback. What Hugh H doesn't like about Jilly's Cafe:
The appetizers were just fabulous. I did not like my entrée. I had the ribeye steak. It wasn’t cooked properly. It had no char on it it was raw. I asked for medium rare. I should’ve sent it back. That’s my fault. In addition to that, it looks like Evanston added a 6% extra tax on alcohol. We’re not returning. View all feedback.
