Historic building, sensational food by jillyfg on 7/8/2010 via Citysearch
My family and I have visited many times. When I would visit my mother a lunch or two at South Gate was a must. My favorite was the Clements Sandwich, although it may not still be on the menu. As I don't get back to LF very often, I've…

We had been meaning to try Southgate cafe for years. We always loved walking the "square" in Lake Forest and visiting the shops but for some reason had never stopped for lunch or dinner. We always wanted to try the outside patio…

Something Special For Everyone by bwaltman on 3/13/2006 via Citysearch
South Gate Cafe is a warm and inviting place to gather with friends. Patio dining (see photo) overlooks Lake Forest's Market Square. The menu is interesting and diverse, and best of all, everything is good. They have an excellent wine…

This was my first trip to the Cafe and I can say that I will go back. The food was excellant, and seating was immediate. I went in the early evening, and sat outside and found the atmosphere lite and relaxing. I could definatly see a…

Great Food! by brian60045 on 11/25/2002 via Citysearch
Southgate is a great restaurant any time of year, although it is at its best during the summer months when you can sit outside. Food is excellent and the service is unmatched. Highly recommended!
