Cute spot that I discovered from Yelp!…read more It feels like you are almost walking into a nice home. The one thing I would say is the lighting could be a little brighter. Fun menu of spirits and cocktails. I had a vodka flight for $7 which sampled 3 vodkas. My favorite was the vanilla. They offer some snack options and we went with a cheese plate that had a nice variety. All staff that we encountered were super friendly. Plenty of seating. Come check them out for a drink or buy a bottle to go.

We spent a good couple of hours here between drinks and eats. Considering how much we consumed, it was such a pleasant surprise to be under what I thought it would cost. Only a couple toes vs. an arm and a leg! The mezcal drinks were very good, along really with everything we had. Didn't get much in the way of pictures but hey, you should be dining anyways. Put that phone away and enjoy a fantastic meal here when you're in the area. We'll be coming back again for sure!

Out of state visitors! Was recommended by my friend that lives here. We had 3 in our group…read more We waited a bit before the bartender showed and filled our waters (pretty sure we were not in his section). Fred was awesome! The restaurant sits in a tiny strip on a very cool looking street. The hostess sat us quickly to the left of the restaurant, a little strip of booth style tables. The lights above the table were not lit. Phone flashlights were needed to see the menu (old folks). Time was 5:30pm. Unsure why, but we had the bartender as our server (Fred). He was lights out! Food. I had the skirt steak. It was ok. The amount of salsa accoutrement was too much, it was the only thing on the plate and matched the length of the steak. The salsa alongside the steak you could tell was not fresh, it had a dull grayish look to it, with no fresh vibrance to it. The potatoes on the side were ok, probably more suited alongside the steak. Overall I'd say, if the middle of the Shepards Pie was cold that tells me it's not fresh made to order, and the not so fresh salsa, they just need to tighten up. I think it's very close to a top notch restaurant in a sought after neighborhood.

Has basically just lots of drinks. There's some beers on tap and lots more in bottles and cans, so great variety. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. There's a pretty okay choice of liquors. Has no food menu basically. They may have those frozen pizzas. For sure it's better than expected. It's located on Washington Street at Jefferson.

The Tavern in Libertyville continues to distinguish itself as one of the stronger steakhouse…read moreexperiences in the area. After several visits, it is clear this is a restaurant that understands the fundamentals of fine dining: atmosphere, execution, and a menu that extends well beyond its steakhouse label. What first sets The Tavern apart is its ambiance. The space leans into a dark, romantic, dimly lit aesthetic that feels both polished and inviting. On our most recent visit, we were seated upstairs according to our reservation, and that remains the preferred setting. The quieter noise level above the main floor allows for more comfortable conversation and a more intimate dining experience. Service was solid, if not especially memorable. Our server was efficient and capable throughout the evening, though somewhat lacking in warmth and guidance. Fortunately, the kitchen carried the night with ease. Every entrée at the table was excellent. My wife's lobster was particularly well received, while the steaks were cooked properly, deeply flavorful, and presented with the kind of care expected at this level. Presentation across the board was refined and appealing. The wine program also deserves recognition. The list is extensive, thoughtfully selected, and offers strong choices for diners who appreciate pairing a serious bottle with dinner. The Tavern is undeniably a high-price-point experience, but it largely delivers the quality and atmosphere to justify it. For those seeking a refined steakhouse meal in Libertyville with strong food, notable wine, and an intimate setting, it is easy to recommend.

We typically venture out to Sophia's but we wanted something closer to home (5 minutes away) and also liked that we could walk around downtown Libertyville after. We sat upstairs in the main dining room and had the best waitress. I wish I remember here name but it was her birthday the next day. So of management can look her up that way I'll adjust my post to include her name. She made us feel so special and was very attentive. The food was delicious and my husband enjoyed his steak. I'm vegetarian so I got soup, green beans and fries. We will definitely be returning.

This new spot in North Chicago is a great addition to the Mexican restaurants. It looks tiny from…read morethe outside but it surprisingly is bigger than I imagined. I ordered for takeout and even with the language barrier the waitress was super friendly and we figured it out. They have horchata and their horchata is delicious. It's not as sweet as other places and has a little something extra that I enjoyed about it. I ordered 2 steak tacos, 2 chicken tacos, a steak sorta, and rice. Their tacos are on the smaller side, but very flavorful. The torta was bigger than I expected but I absolutely enjoyed it. The rice through me off as it wasn't traditional Mexican rice like I was assuming. It had a garlic/buttery taste but it was mushy. I'll be back to support a local business.

To my surprise, the dish presentation has been upgraded! A nice touch that really shows the restaurant's attention to detail and commitment to quality. The food here never disappoints, and you can tell the owners take pride in what they serve. Definitely one of our favorite seafood spots!
