Valor in Glencoe is a real gem along the north shore. The menu is tight, meaning that there are only a few options, but each is exquisite. I ordered a rye themed cocktail that was very good, but my wife ordered one with a strawberry infusion, which was excellent. (Note that the cocktail menu online is not the one served at the restaurant.) We ordered the Nana's Meatballs appetizer, which was the best meatballs I have tried in a long time. My wife had the scallops while I had the lamb chops with a mint chutney. All excellent. For dessert, we tried the cheese cake, which was solid. The service was a little confused, as they had just changed their process so that servers also bused tables. This led to us being ignored for some stretches of time. But our waiter was gracious and helped create an overall highly positive experience. We will be back!

Food was well prepared and present in an appealing manner. The flavors are fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Five is not really enough for this amazing place. The ambient is perfect, large, welcoming and not too noisy. The service is good and overall this is a child friendly restaurant.
The service is exceptional as is the food. The popcorn cauliflower is reminiscent of the indo-chinese gobi Manchuria and very good. The steak frites with the sirloin is a revelation - I am not one for a sauce with my steak but this was illuminating!!
The vodka martini was excellent and I tried the north shore sour but the egg white was too prominent and overpowering so I went back to the vodka martini with nary a regret!!
I can see why this is a James Beard member restaurant.
One of the nicest restaurants. Love their menu! They have wonderful food and great cocktails
You know the pictures you see on Instagram...
... Everything looked identical and tested EVEN better! I have been stalking Valor's Instagram page for a while and finally went to visit with a few friends. It's further from where I live, but totally worth it! We ordered a bunch of items on their menu and I have to say that all of them were amazing! We had the sticky asian ribs (to die for!), the tuna tartar (so fresh!), the short-rib pasta (my friends' favourite dish - homemade pasta -hello!), the scalops (grilled to perfection) and the sea bass (amazing!). We finished with the desert, that was the best panna cotta that I have had in my life! The prices are very low considering the fact that everything is local and/or organic! Absolute favourite new place! The staff was awesome and had great recommendations for us! The drinks did not disappoint - amazing cocktails!
The main courses and drinks are outstanding! These guys above and beyond for every customer. I recommend this place to all of our friends and family members!
A hidden local gem. We had the scallops and the steak and both were great. Salads were ok. We’ll definitely be back
