"Located on the second floor of an old Masonic lodge in Highland Park, Checker Hall works well for a big group for several reasons. The casual Mediterranean spot is massive and snagging a primetime dinner reservation is never too difficult a task. It's also equal parts bar and restaurant, meaning if some people in your group want to chill in a booth and eat branzino and whipped feta all night, while others gravitate toward cute strangers at the bar, everyone will walk away happy.
