    Now that I'm retired, I and my wife, daughter, and sister from Wisconsin want to go out occasionally with my 92 year old Mother for lunch around Prospect Heights (Mom's town) that have either outdoor seating or bright, open-air or windowed seating with a pleasant view. The last time we went out for lunch we went to Jameson's Charhouse which is the antithesis of this, being indoors with no windows at all. We talked about going to Bill's Pizza in Mundelein next because we love rustic too, but I think that's too dark too.

    Any ideas?

    If Wheeling isn't too far, you might want to give Pete Miller's a try---

    Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime Steak
    412 N. Milwaukee Avenue
    Wheeling: 847-243-3700

    Nice large patio, with high-enough walls to block out Milwaukee Ave.

    Jamesons Charhouse in Bloomingdale has a nice outdoor patio. For more casual pub fare, Moretti's in Edison Park has an expansive outdoor seating area. It does have more of a bar feeel than a restaurant feel.
