Hermon's

Tucked inside a beautifully restored church banquet hall in a quiet pocket near Highland Park, Hermon’s delivers the kind of warm, nostalgic dining experience that feels both timeless and refreshingly current. The space features a grand U-shaped bar up front welcoming walk-ins and large leather booths filling the dining room, creating an atmosphere that wouldn’t feel out of place in a feel-good holiday movie.

The chophouse-inspired menu leans unapologetically into indulgence. Start with the irresistible pull-apart garlic bread or the potato fritters crowned with whipped cream cheese, then move on to their creative pasta vongole—a cheesy, lasagna-meets-clam-pizza hybrid that sounds unusual but absolutely works. The compact bar burger packs serious flavor, and the coconut prawns bring just the right amount of crispy satisfaction.

From the team behind Found Oyster and Rasarumah, this spot knows how to set a scene. The bar’s $10 martini happy hour is practically mandatory, setting the tone for an evening of convivial dining. Whether you’re gathering with a big group, treating the parents, or just settling in for after-work drinks, the vibe here strikes that sweet spot between casual and special occasion.

Don’t skip dessert—the baked Alaska has made its triumphant return to the menu, and it’s everything you remember from its heyday. Hermon’s captures that elusive quality of a neighborhood spot that feels genuinely welcoming while still giving you something worth dressing up for.
