“Houston, We’ve Had a Problem”

What does Astronaut Jim Lovell of the famed Apollo 13 mission and food have common? A Restaurant - Lovells of Lake Forest.

Elegant west Lake Forest restaurant run by Chef James Lovell III and his father, a former NASA astronaut (and author of the novel that was adapted into movie best-seller Apollo 13). Housed in the three-story French colonial mansion are the stately continental Conservatory dining room, and several lounges decorated with Apollo memorabilia. The French menu includes dishes such as crab cakes, oysters Rockefeller, ala carte steaks and chops, lobster tails and lamb, veal and filet medallions stew. It also offers cigars, fine liquors and eats that appeal to the kids.
