Fox Lake​のカジュアルなレストラン

Ever since Cooper’s Hawk came to Gurnee, it has been absolutely fantastic. Last night we celebrated my husband‘s birthday and the food was just perfect, I tried something different and it was amazing. It’s my husband‘s favorite restaurant. We will continue to go there it’s just that good. If you don’t like really loud restaurants, don’t go on a weekend.

This is the third visit to 15 Lakes and just like the first two times, it was fabulous. We ordered steaks for four that ranged from blue-rare to medium well, and they all arrived at the table perfectly cooked. (It is very difficult to get a true blue rare steak in most “steakhouses”, but 5 Lakes nailed it.) The menu changes which means it never gets stale. The service was excellent as usual, with great knowledge depth of the menu and so pleasant and cheerful. Just love this place. It’s unpretentious, pays attention to vegetables, small but mighty.

We like Center Cut a lot and go there often as it is a more upscale place in downtown Grayslake. However we are not a fan of live loud music while trying to eat and have a conversation with our dinner companions. If I’m going to see live music I know what I’m getting into and expect to listen and not try to talk during the show. Our reservations were for 5:30 on a Saturday evening, so we didn’t expect to have our conversation compete with live loud music.

This was a wonderful experience. From the time we walked in and was greeted by a smiling lady to the time we left, everyone made our time there a pleasant one. The ambiance was festive, the staff, everyone, was pleasant and engaged. The food, oh, the food! Delicious. We started with crab ragoon followed by Mongolian beef, sweet sour chicken and fried rice. We not only ate until we couldn't anymore but took home enough for two meals. All in all, we will definitely be returning If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give 10.
