Bar Louie - Skokie Holiday Inn North Shore

Good food, friendly staff. Got my order slightly wrong (left things on the burger that were supposed to come off). But so it goes. Bartender was very friendly and kept up a good banter with other customers while I waited for my food. Note they do have an 18% service fee automatically added, so read your receipt before tipping.

Came here on Christmas eve with my son. I was really surprised how good the food was. Especially The quality of the salmon. The cocktails were good as well. Jen was our waitress and she went above and beyond to make sure my son and I both had a great time and enjoy our meals. She was so sweet with my son. I haven't received great service that was genuine in a while. Jen really does enjoy her customers and truly follows all steps of service... yes they do charge a automatic 18% tip on to the check which is common from a restaurant that is located in a hotel. But I still gave Jen an extra tip, because she deserves it. Thank you Jen we will be returning just for your great service!

We had chicken nachos and the meat tasted really old and so did the hot wings that we had. We sent one order of wings back. I had a sangria that was pretty but tasted watered down. Clean atmosphere and nice service. We left and went to Longhorn steakhouse for there appetizers.

Food was good but they add an 18% gratuity to your bill. Paying yourself a tip is shady business.

I went to the Skokie location for happy hour. I was waiting at the bar for a little over 15 minutes before someone came over to give me menus. There were 2 servers working with only a few parties in the establishment. My server took my drink order then went to take another party's drink order. The server brought the other party their drinks then went to another group to get their drink order. I had to flag the server down to bring me my one drink I had ordered prior to the other parties. Service was horrible, I wouldn't recommend this location based on this unfortunate experience.
