Deer Path Inn has anchored downtown Lake Forest since 1929, a 57-room Tudor-style hotel built around grand English tradition, and its dining room just went through the biggest change in nearly a century.

$$$

A 1929 Tudor-style Lake Forest landmark hotel whose century-old English Room just became The Brasserie after a full renovation — plus the more casual White Hart Pub under the same roof.

The English Room — the name this space carried for almost 100 years — has given way to The Brasserie following a comprehensive, year-long renovation, a real changing of the guard rather than a cosmetic refresh. The inn's other dining draw, the White Hart Pub, keeps the more casual, English-pub side of the property's identity alive under the same historic roof.

This isn't a trendy new concept chasing a moment — it's a near-century-old North Shore landmark updating its flagship restaurant while keeping the bones (the Tudor architecture, the pub, the sense of occasion) exactly what regulars expect. Worth a visit for the history alone, even before the new menu factors in.
