    Salad
    Robin H.

    Service was very attentive. Loved that they had soft shell crabs on the menu. Delicious! Place is very old school...salad, twice baked potato...yummy tiramisu for dessert. Ambiance nice, again, old school.

    If you want a nice place for Friday or Saturday night to enjoy some live music while you dine then this place has just that. Music and dancing are a lot of fun here. The waiting service here is exceptional. One of the best places I've been to where they really accommodate you. Staff is ultra friendly too! The food was good. I liked the lobster bisque but others in the group did not. Every meal came with soup or salad and a side. I had the fried shrimp and rice and enjoyed it. Others had the filet and crab cakes and thought it was pretty good. We will be back.

    Miguel was our server and did a great job. No issues with anything, refilled soda drinks without asking, he is on top of everything. The other workers are very polite and efficient.We always come here to celebrate my older kid's birthdays. The owner always greets us and thanks us. Background music is nice and soft. Food is always excellent here. The only thing I miss is the salad boat that use to come around before Covid days.

    Wow, I pass this place all the time and I finally made it inside! The staff is truly amazing, I felt a real warm welcome when I entered! It's been in business for over 45 years! I ordered the Golden Tilapia filet! It was cooked perfectly and you get a choice of baked potatoe, rice of the day or roasted potatoes, I chose the roasted potatoes and these were the best potatoes I've ever had! You also get a choice of salad or soup! I got the clam chowder, I have to say that there wasn't enough clams in the soup! My husband had the sautéed jumbo shrimps, it was really tasty and very tender, not overcooked! The atmosphere was quiet and elegant, definitely will be going back! Our waitress Terri was very pleasant, helpful and funny!

    We had the most wonderful date night here tonight! We made a reservation for 6pm and were seated promptly. Our waiter Frank was VERY well aware of what was GF and safe for me to eat. The owner and waiter were incredibly nice throughout our stay and treated us like family; we felt at home. The drinks were delicious, seafood was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and we loved the restaurant feel. They had a nice band/saxophone artist play live and a few couples even came up to dance. Don't let the crowd fool you, the older generation is keeping this gem a secret! Cant wait to come back! Bravo Bill!

    Chelitos has quickly become our favorite Mexican food spot in Mundelein! My husband and I come here…read moreoften, and every visit is consistently amazing. The food has the homemade flavor we've been missing; you can tell they use quality ingredients and put care into every dish. The birria tacos are a must-try; tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We've tried a variety of meats for their tacos, and every single one has been excellent. Let's not forget the margaritas, perfection! The classic is smooth and balanced, while the mango margarita is bright, refreshing, and dangerously easy to love. I love that you can choose between class salt and tajin. This is a place you go to if you want truly authentic cuisine. The staff is always warm. welcoming, and cozy, making every meal feel special. We can't wait to bring our out-of-state friends here; Chelitos is a true local gem that never disappoints.

    Tried Lamoon for the first time on Friday night. We loved the restaurant…read more First thing I noticed was how clean and bright the restaurant was. Really great feeling when many local eats are more on the dark side. We started with the Crab Rangoon. Despite there being very little if any crab, these were really tasty. Crispy and hot, they had a lot of flavor. For Entrees, we had the Deluxe vegetables with chicken and Roasted Duck. The vegetables with chicken was a decent portion and was very flavorful. Chicken was thinly sliced and fresh. A very good dish. The roasted duck was a little drier but still good. I asked for it on the hot side, and they didn't disappoint. Wasn't too hot either. Service was really good. Food was fresh. A really great dinner. All in all, we will be back. I'd give it 4.5 stars due what seemed like little or no crab. But definitely worth your trying this place.

I got my order in a brown paper bag so I didn't really know the size of the container until I got home and pulled it out. Missing Lime wedge Round plastic container (clear top & black bottom recycle #1 dishwasher safe) I opened fairly hot container (4 miles home) making sure I stuck my nose close to it so I could smell the flavors dissipate in my nasal passage. The traditional smell of Pad Thai was so far a good sign to eat the $18 dish. Where's the Beef? I was disappointed in the beef that I paid extra for. It sincerely looked like the cheap regular lunch version; NOT WORTH $18 dollars. The sauce incorporated into the noodles tasted like it was bottled or from a gallon size plastic container from Sysco foods. Flavors of a pungent vinegar base. Not really the taste I was looking for being this was a newer addition to restaurants. Service Generic order taker, not expecting the Pepsodent smile, but more of a grunt would have been nice acknowledging some gratefulness of a customer walking thru the door. Ambiance Same as when the angry Chinese man owned the Chinese restaurant two owner prior when the koi pond was there. Final thoughts So nothing special set apart for a neighborhood restaurant other than overpriced small portions.

Our server Chad explained the menu in detail, offered recommendations, and took great pride in the restaurant. Everything is made from scratch, and they have a beautiful open kitchen. We started with the octopus, which our friends and Chad both recommended, and it lived up to the hype. They sous vide it so it's super tender, then crisp it for that little crunch you want in an octopus appetizer. The romesco and chorizo combo had us scraping the plate clean. For dinner, my husband had the hanger steak served with a large bone filled with bone marrow, along with brioche, truffle butter, and the Aligot and Brussels sprouts for sides. The Brussels and butternut squash were sweet, spicy, crispy, and salty - just amazing. I had the monkfish, which is very similar to lobster, and it was delicious!

Brandon very was good spirited, and his cocktails were phenomenal. He also gave us some tips on when the farmers markets take place and where to go for live music. Overall, the food was very well seasoned and packed with flavor. The chicken was moist and tender. Probably one of the best pieces of chicken I've ever had. The burger was also absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this spot.

That said, one of our friends is a foodie like me and loved the menu with plenty of seafood options and he found it challenging to select something as it all looked so good. We started with appetizers of Fire Shrimp, Octopus and Jumbo Crab Cake. We all shared and was absolutely amazing! My wife ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Pasta which she had the week before. Last time it came with a little heat, but this time was a little bland for her but was still very flavorful (so somewhat confusing). FYI the lobster comes in two halved pieces w/ shell (a miniature lobster, not meal sized one) For me, the apps were not enough. I ordered Rice Élan Style w/ 4 Sea Scallops (Arborio rice, butter, sun-dried tomato, spinach, citrus blend, parmigiano reggiano). This was really good and the scallops were so flavorful. I also ordered the Lobster Mac & Cheese. Yes, I was hungry. It was a generous portion and includes chunks of lobster, not like other places where we are searching for where the lobster is hiding. Service was amazing as usual. I expect nothing less. Since it was my foodie friend's first time, they gave him a gift card for a free bruschetta app next time he comes in. It is dimly lit. It not dark as every table has small touch lights. So, apologies for the pics as they may be a little dark. Certainly looking forward to next time!
