Dining room at Courtright's, Willow Springs, IL

In the southwest suburbs --- or anywhere, for that matter --- Courtright's is a fine-dining establishment worth a visit. The seasonally changing menu does a pleasant ramble through a cuisine toeing a line between sensibly creative contemporary and regional American, as interpreted by France-born executive chef Jerome Bacle. The range is extensive, as in duck rillette with a bacon scone and seasonal chutney or escargots cassoulet with prosciutto, shallots and fermented black garlic. Dishes weâ€™ve enjoyed include Swan Creek duck breast with roasted quince compote, caramelized maple rutabaga, cranberries and cashews as well as venison loin with honey-glazed apples, chestnuts, cinnamon-scented butternut mousseline and huckleberry sauce. The window tables look out onto a forest preserve, so snag one if you can and begin by perusing the topnotch wine list. Note that seasonal hours may be in effect January through March, as in Monday and Tuesday closures.
