Waukegan​の地元の良店

Our waiter, Seth, was top-notch. He made the dinner experience THAT much better. Food was incredible, don’t get me wrong, but a really good waiter is hard to come by.

I chose 4 stars for service only because we waited a long time for our good; much longer than any other time we’ve eaten at Steven’s. Thee weren’t any obvious hard dishes to put together. Half hour wait is a long time. The food was good as usual, but the wait time put a damper on our gathering.

I grew up eating mostly seafood and I know and can tell if its good. First time to dine here. (Its a dinner date). Of the 3 restaurants of our choice, went here. Plus, we live in Gurnee, IL. 5 mile distance is a plus. Anyway, we started with a calamari (2nd choice was grilled octopus). It was tender and crunchy in the outside. And they used new oil. It was a wow… in the beginning. And the bread (that i dipped in olive oil with Cheese was awesome). So It was a good start and was expecting even better for our main meal and sides and deserts :). For our main meal, my wife ordered the HALIBUT Alaskan, with wild mushrooms, For me, I ordered the PESCE AL LIMONE, a Lake Superior Whitefish. We didnt wait long, but we enjoyed our chat and the appetizer (calamari) with our “mocktails” while waiting. We don’t drink alcohol, so we had non alcoholic drinks. Out server, CARLA, recommended a MOCKTAIL. Try it! It cool. Well, our main dish arrived and boy were we amazed and surprised. First, the serving was generous, also, it looks exactly as described in their menus (picture) and bigger than I thought! My wife and I ate 3/4 Each of our selected meal and then we switched. Oh boy, the taste is phenomenal on both And FRESH. The sauces were not overpowering and both my wife and I said the same thing. We can taste the freshness of the fish. It was really really good. I highly recommend both seafood. Was very satisfied. Now the main meal didn’t come with any side (im glad it did not) so we ordered a roasted potatoes and shared it. It was a lot for one person. For desert, we had one ( my wife was already full) OLIVE OIL CAKE and GELATO. Yummy!!!Of course, make sure to ask for CARLA. She knows a lot about the menu and will give HONEST and TRUE recommendations. Plus the owner, chat with us too. Overall, the service was outstanding. We were not snubbed. I noticed everyone were treated well, old, young, dressed well, casual, etc very nice. We Don’t have to go to Chicago for dinner.

Awesome meal, service, and drinks. We were seated in the back room which on a cold night felt a little less cozy but on the flip side was quieter so easy to catch up with friends.

We had a wonderful evening from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left. The decor was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and our waiter was excellent. THANK YOU
