Outdoor Dining Returns to North Shore

Market House in Lake Forest serves lunchtime crowd Saturday.

With the temperature reaching 60 degrees in Market Square this afternoon, Market House opened its outdoor dining patio and diners flocked to take advantage of the experience.

The restaurant, which was voted Chicagoland’s best outdoor dining facility a year ago by Open Table, needs little prompting to begin the outdoor season.

“If it’s above 60 degrees and people want to go out there,” Market House General Manager Larry Flam said of the company’s thinking. “Last year we opened it in March.”
