    Just what Libertyville needed. What a stunning and delicious restaurant! We came in with a party of 8 people (6 adults, 2 kids) for a birthday celebration. Our reservations were at 5:30, which was just before the big rush. It was so helpful to have made a list of what we wanted beforehand, it really helped narrow down our order. The kitchen was so kind to help us find something GF that the kids could eat and made them meatballs and potatoes. We put our food orders in in stages so that we didn't get too much at once. We ordered 12 things from the menu and a number of charcuterie options for the rest of us. They offer a "double portion" of the tapas for larger parties, which is cheaper than ordering two plates. We did that for about 5 of the tapas. We went home with some leftovers but not an exorbitant amount. And everyone left with very happy, full bellies. The best bites were the Alitas, Bresaola, Arroz con Pollo, and the empanadas. Having so much food, it would have been helpful to have staff clearing plates more frequently. We often were flagging someone down to take a stack of empty plates. Overall, a great experience. Would definitely visit again.

    We came here the night before our daughter's navy graduation since the hotel we were staying at was super close by and I am so glad we did. We had the best time! Brant was so attentive and friendly, the food was awesome, and it had an overall fun ambiance. Every single dish we tried was very tasty and the paella was absolutely worth the wait. We didn't try the alcohol but the mocktails we tried were refreshing and really hit the spot after a 4+ hour flight. We finished almost everything since it was so good, except for the paella which really is a huge dish lol. Don't know when we'll ever be back in the area, but if we are, would definitely not hesitate to go again!

    The bread and the baked goat may be the only thing that would bring me back to this restaurant. They were amazing and perfect. Our server was also amazing and seemed to be the only one working the dining room as it seemed there were two parties happening. Since there were events happening it 100% believe they were being favored in the quickness of the food coming out. We waited quite a bit and I could see tables sat before us only had drinks as well. Even a couple that came to look at the space for a future event sat after us and still got their food before we did. It was annoying to be sure but I get pulling out the stops to unsure they book the party... just wish it wasn't at the expense of the other guests. On to the drinks and food: I ordered the cucumber martini and I didn't taste cucumber at all... tasted like a glass of midori. My husband needed to finish it for me. We ordered several dishes and it went from great to terrible in order of coming out. The baked goat cheese was the best thing we ate all night. And that bread.... So delicious. That's were unfortunately the went down hill. The chimichurri steak was almost inedible bc it was insanely spicy. Even for my spice loving husband couldn't handle it. We heard comments from the table next to us too. The potatoes we got were fine I suppose but there was zero seasoning to the potato itself and the sauce on top left much to be desired. Dinner itself was not very good and I was already ready to leave when our last dish came to the table (after a long wait bc I think they forgot we ordered it) croquettes came to the table almost completely frozen. The waitress offered to get us a new dish but it was the last straw we needed to leave. At least they took it off the bill, but we still managed to spend a good amount on a lackluster meal. I was excited about this restaurant but will not be going back.

    Restaurant was such a pretty and stylish environment, it made me a little sad that it wasn't all that crowded. It seems like the perfect place for larger groups of people. Our server was fantastic, attentive and accommodating. The shrimp was the only really memorable dish of the three we ordered, the flatbread and salad were mediocre & not half as flavorful. They definitely looked appetizing which I can appreciate but fell short on flavor.

    First of all, I could not make reservations because apparently they don't take it for less parties…read moreof four people. So we came here on a random Friday night to test our luck to get a table at 7 o'clock for two people. We got lucky and got to sit inside because that's where we wanted to sit although they do have sidewalk or outdoor seating as well. I thought sitting inside would be cooler, but I was wrong as all the doors and windows were open and I don't believe the AC was on at all. Well, the menu is pretty extensive. I will say that a vegetarian could definitely eat here as well as anyone else. This is our first visit here and as you can tell from the photos ordered quite a bit of food. And typical top of style the portions are pretty small, but they are meant to be shared. It was actually too much food for two people who were already hungry. Some of the standouts were definitely the meatballs and the salad salads. The jamon iberico was absolutely incredible. Not pictured was the picture of sangria we ordered. We got the rosé and to be quite honest with all of the heat. It actually watered down way too quickly. And it also came in a plastic picture, which was a bit of a turn off. The shrimp with garlic was good, but the garlic was hard to taste because it was also covered or doused in a lot of tomato base or tomato sauce. I was really looking forward to a very clear buttery or olive oil sauce that was saturated with garlic. The mushrooms were OK as well, but again too much tomato in this dish that I'm not used to. The potatoes were also very tasty and well seasoned, and the sauce on it was just right. I think this is a good option for people who want top us in the suburbs however, I will say that I hope they do some tweaking to the recipes as well so that they have something that truly makes them stand out and unique.

We were four and decided that two Smalls and two Mains would be a fine amount and it was. If you as a group are big eaters, maybe an extra small, but use this as a guide. The Smalls were the mussels (about a dozen) with such an incredible and hard to describe, taste. The other small was the NAPOLEON BUENOS AIRES, also unusual and special. For the Larges, we shared the SALMON A LA BRAZILEIRA and VENEZUELAN CARBONADA (no meat eaters here). Also a bit difficult to describe, but take my word for it, very special. As we were headed to an event with desserts, we didn't try any here (and also no one was drinking tonight). Would love to come back and try if I'm in Chicagoland again. Just go!

    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.

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.
