Tune into this northwest suburban bar and restaurant for a pianist tickling the ivories on Wednesday through Saturday nights. An eclectic dinner menu includes starts like Creole crabcakes, chicken skewers with spicy plum sauce and a homey trio of pierogies. Entrees also sport international flair, from Grecian-style kabobs to tilapia with beurre blanc sauce. Plenty of locals come in just for a dessert or a nightcap, with options like vanilla bean cheesecake and a Ghiradelli martini on the roster.
