    Curds and tenders
    Lindsay J.

    Cool, clean spot. This is the old Houlihans. The space looks similar to that, but there are nice m, clean updates. We had two apps, cheese curds and tenders. They were both very good, just be prepared to be full on greasy food. Our server was excellent, very attentive. We enjoyed our lunch. Support a nice, local business group and head to Tap House Grill Algonquin!

    Cheese Curds
    Michael W.

    We came for the soft opening and loved it. They have a really nice beer menu but we stuck with waters tonight. They have your standard lite beers, etc. but they also have some good craft beers. We started with cheese curds (nice salty flavor). Our son got shrimp tacos, my wife got a shrimp bowl and I got the garlic rib dip. Everyone loved their food. Our son felt they were the best fish tacos he has had; my wife also had Shrimp in her bowl and raved about it. My French Dip was fantastic! There is garlic butter in the process and it was just decadent; I ate it so fast. We ended with their donut

    Cheese curds appetizer are delicious!

    A new restaurant where Houlihan's used to be. Their slogan: Addictive Food, Creative Brews. Our server, Aries, is very attentive and helpful. Service with a smile. He has some very good suggestions if you are overwhelmed with the big menu (digital for now). Appetizers, soup and salad, tacos, burgers, wraps, bowls, entrees, dessert, and a full alcohol menu. Ginger Soy Shrimp Bowl (on a plate): Shrimp sautéed in a ginger soy topped with cucumber, carrot, crunchy garbanzo beans, onion and mixed greens with mango salsa. Crispy Shrimp Tacos: Rock shrimp tacos garnished with lime-marinated cabbage, chipotle aioli & corn salsa. Garlic Prime Rib Dip: Roasted prime rib, shaved, with grilled onions, on Portuguse milk bread with garlic butter, served with a side of horseradish cream and au jus for dipping. Fresh Sticky Chocolate-Caramel Donuts: Cooked to order, tossed in our housemade Guinness caramel sauce, with chocolate drizzle. Their shrimp tacos are the best around! Our teenage son absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back and try more of their fabulous menu!

    The unfortunate reality of this experience is that two stars are generous for the service and quality of environment at Tap House. When my wife and I walked in we were greeted by three unmasked individuals. The standard is still to be masked indoors at all times. With about half of the seating area used we were asked to sit right by the entrance. We kindly asked to be placed at a different table (there were at least ten options) and were told yes with a heavy eye roll from the hostess. Once seated we were greeted by a waiter that had his mask below his chin. When we asked for a moment to look at the menu he didn't come back for ten minutes. We asked other waitresses if we could order and they walked by saying it wasn't their table with no effort to find our waiter. My wife got the pesto chicken wrap and I the Buffalo chicken wrap. Both were actually pretty good. As we sat eating, most individuals, despite a sign saying masks required, walked in without masks. Regardless of what an individual believes the importance of mask wearing is/is not, if there is a sign, you'd think the restaurant would uphold the expectation or simply remove the sign. Once COVID clears up, I don't know that we'll be going back. Average to slightly above food doesn't come close to making up for the poor service and attitudes of the employees.

    Fried Avocado Tacos

    The layout of the place is weird, it kind of feels like a diner in the booth section (which isn't a good thing). I would recommend sitting in the high top/ bar area. For a place that has tacos, they should have a generic margarita on their drink menu. There was too much coleslaw on the tacos, completely took over the taste of the tacos. They do have a few vegetarian options, which I appreciate. They definitely have some room to grow!

    Fish fry, pretty good. Great tartar sauce!
    Edward P.

    The wife got the Friday fish fry and I liked it better than she did. It wasn't greasy which is usually the problem with fish fry's. My salmon was good but could have used some flavor outside of the glaze. The service was rough. The place was about 25% full and staff kept walking by us. It took over 10 minutes before anyone addressed us and each step afterwards was painfully slow. The staff spent more time talking to each other than customers from what I saw. The place is clean and very open so it has lots of promise.

    Crabby patty cheeseburger

    Went to lunch on a Saturday with my daughter. Seemed like they were lacking servers. Service was a little slow. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. They were very good. Definitely fresh not frozen curds. My daughter had the crabby patty cheese burger with tots from the kids menu. She liked it. I had the traditional wings with the exotic sauce. The sauce was good but it needed something. Either more spice or sweetness or both. It was trying to be a sweet chili sauce but was missing something. I will say the quality of the wings was excellent. Very large meaty wings. I'd get them again. Place was empty when we got here but filled up as we were here. Nice tv locations. Nice drink and beer menu. They have Friday lent specials as well. Ambiance was nice with light music playing but not to loud that you couldn't have a conversation. We will be back.

    One of the reasons my wife and I come here often is because it's one of the handful of restaurants…read morethat is open late (kitchen closes at 10pm). The food has always been good quality, nothing spectacular, but worth the associated prices. I usually get a burger and my wife usually gets the eggplant parmesan sandwich and we both leave happy. Regarding the servers, we've never had a problem. The staff is kind, prompt, and generous. Just last night, they gave my wife a bowl of French Onion for the price of a cup, because of an ordering issue (not the server's fault), and they were very kind about it. Lastly, this is one of the few places locally that has a comfortable and moderately quiet dining room, especially late night. The volume is perfect for having a nice conversation over dinner.

    URGENT ATTENTION TO MANAGEMENT AND STAFF: We ordered three…read morepizzas for delivery yesterday for a large event, and unfortunately, my son almost swallowed an approximately one-inch coil spring that was found in one of the pizzas. This is completely unacceptable, extremely concerning and poses a serious safety risk. Our family has enjoyed dining at Moretti's in the past; however, the Lake in the Hills location has consistently received negative feedback from family and friends. Despite that, I decided to give it another chance--only to experience this alarming issue. I strongly urge management to review and reinforce your quality control, food handling, and kitchen sanitation procedures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
