Creative Menu and Delicious Food--A Perfect Post-Adventure Spot!…read more My friend and I usually eat here after we are hiking or skiing at the forest preserves nearby. While this place does not look like much on the outside, the experience inside is fantastic. We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit and now we always go back whenever we are in the area. * The Food: The menu is very creative with a lot of great specials going on, and the food is consistently delicious. Drinks are good with decent pours. * The Service: Even though the bartenders usually wait on us at the high-top tables, the service is always very good, attentive, and welcoming. * The Value: The prices are incredibly decent for the quality and taste you get. It is the absolute perfect spot to refuel after spending time outdoors. And they have long hours so always seem to be open when other places are closed. Check it out!

On an early May weekend it loses a bit of the summer vibe charm. The food was not great, the breaded chicken sandwich had a frozen patty feel to it. The bierra tacos were small, and the chicken schwarma was dry but flavorful. The kids plain smash burger was actually the best meal served. The craft beer menu was sufficient. Not sure Hamm's qualifies as craft but it's always fun to see it pop up at a beer pub. It got the job done for late lunch. Not sure we would hurry back.

Went here on a Friday night for the first time. Didn't get a good vibe from the patrons when we…read morewalked in the door. It felt like everyone in there knew each other, and here comes a couple strangers walking in. Who are these people, and what are they doing here, vibe. We ordered a glass of wine, and a martini. The wine glass was half the size of a normal wine glass, maybe smaller. I've had bigger glasses of wine at other establishments, and paid less. They had a gentleman who was playing a solo acoustic set. He was the highlight of the night at this place. He was more accommodating than the people that worked there. He acknowledged us with a smile, while he set up his equipments. He played some good songs too. I'm not sure if they sold beers, but I did see a couple people drinking beers, but there weren't beers listed on their menu. After we finished our drinks, and an appetizer. We ended up going across the street. Al in all, it's not a place for us to want to go back to for a second chance. We tried a new place, and that's pretty much it.

It was a Wednesday evening, and while the restaurant was busy, it wasn't overly crowded. Unfortunately, our experience didn't meet our expectations. I ordered a raspberry cosmopolitan martini, and when it arrived, there were two ants floating in it. I politely asked for a new drink and even apologized for having to send it back. From my seat, I watched the bartender pour the drink back into the shaker, give it another shake, and pour it into a clean glass. I should have said something, but after already feeling uncomfortable about returning it, I didn't. In the end, I didn't drink it because the way it was handled left me uneasy, and it honestly didn't taste very good. The appetizers were delicious, but we had to ask for plates and napkins because they weren't brought to the table. When our entrees arrived, they were placed on the table before the appetizer dishes were cleared, leaving very little room until we asked for them to be removed. The food itself was good overall. My husband really enjoyed his bison burger. When we asked for a box to take home the rest of his burger, coleslaw, and my leftover fries, we were given a container that was far too small to fit everything. Service throughout the meal was disappointing. Our water glasses were never refilled, and our server rarely checked on us. It appeared she was very attentive to guests she knew, while we felt largely overlooked. I completely understand that restaurants have busy nights, but every guest should feel welcomed and receive the same level of service. We truly wanted to enjoy our first visit because the location and waterfront views are beautiful. Unfortunately, the combination of the drink issue and the lack of attentive service overshadowed the evening. We left disappointed and, sadly, don't see ourselves returning.

We were there with friends and I had a bottle of wine that we had not yet picked up from the wine club. I asked if we could start with that bottle but was callously told that he couldn't make money on that. I fail to see his logic when that bottle was already purchased through his wine club. There are too many other alternatives where customer loyalty is appreciated. This will be our Last visit to Bliss!!!

First impressions is its clean and kept up for an old time bar. I felt comfortable walking in I got a spot up at the bar . I had my Id ready usually that is protocol to check the persons drivers license. I just was prepared with debit and Id it was not going to be checked if I had not done that. The bar tender takes my Illinois state drivers license and passes it around to his friends each one of them with a chuckle like something is funny and I amused them. After enough time has passed and am now annoyed I said hey is there a problem Is everything okay ? he came around and said you don't look 33 do you have any other Id. I said debit cards, Credit cards I pull out but know other ID who does . He says your good now I have become uncomfortable . I order a miller light draft. I stayed for a few beers and closed my tab and left. Clearly the license is a valid Illinois State Drivers license the bartender said like it was a joke he did not have a door man to check Ids that night does he ever? There is hand held machines that are not that expensive to run the persons license through if you are unsure like really ? . He acted like he was so busy he had time to run his mouth and talk with his friends it was not that busy. I am not around for some body and there amusement you do not pass a personal piece of information around to everyone in the bar. I did not come in there to be made fun of . This is disappointing I am new to the area moved here all on my own a month ago. Its pretty clear this is a local" s bar locals only .If your are an outsider your are not welcome they do not want new customers coming in . If your are a new customer you are frowned upon and are looked at like your are from another planet and to get out and do not come back because you are not welcome . I came in excited to try a new place in the town i just moved to am trying to be friendly and make some new friends well keeping some old ones. I left irritated and disgusted and more than likely will never be back. The Village of Wauconda Police needs to do pop ins more frequently and the State of Illinois needs to get involved along with the Wauconda Police they are doing things that are unethical.
