Northwestern students who want to escape dining hall food in favor of more upscale fare can turn to one of several Evanston restaurants.
Although some people consider upscale to be synonymous with expensive, Susan Montgomery, manager of Chef’s Station, 915 Davis St., focuses on other aspects of the restaurant.

The restaurant was commended by Fodor’s Travel Guides as being one of the best restaurants in Evanston and on the North Shore.
The guide’s suggestions also included Wolfgang Puck Grand Caf
