Win a Fancy Ride to Inovasi's 2nd Anniversary Dinner

Inovasi will celebrate its cotton anniversary (that'd be second, to those of you not up on your anniversaries) with a Cotton Club-themed multi-course dinner on May 28.

Yeah, yeah, we know. It's far, all the way up there in Lake Bluff. But, if you're one of the first 10 spots reserved (in multiples of two, by calling the restaurant at 847-295-1000 ) for the 8 p.m. seating, you'll get a free ride in a stretch limo. Chef/owner John des Rosiers will stock the car with bites and bubbly to make the ride up to the restaurant a little more exciting as your cruise north on the Edens.

And when you arrive, the $125-per-person dinner will begin with a 30-minute reception at 8 p.m. before the five-course meal—with a few extras thrown in. During the dinner, guests will get treated to seafood, poultry and meat with a variety of spring vegetables. If you can't make the late seating, Inovasi will also have a 6 p.m. seating with a reception beginning at 5:30.
