★★★★★ 5.0 Kyle · Feb 2026

This place is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a date night or just a night out with friends. The food is seriously good — everything we tried was fresh and flavorful, especially the burgers and seasonal dishes. The drinks are great too, and the staff is friendly and really knows their menu. It fills up fast, so definitely make a reservation, but it’s worth it. Can’t wait to come back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Phillip J. M. · May 2024

No other place like it in Libertyville. Same owners of Milwalky Taco and the famous Oscar Lee's BBQ. Gourmet experience every single time. Great place for lunch, excellent place for a great dinner to impress. Update 2/26 still and outstanding destination in downtown Libertyville, consistent greatness, service is always excellent, food is topnotch with good vibes and bright atmosphere. Also they have the best Turkey Sandwich on earth. Change my mind...RAMEN NIGHT !! Don't be that person who hasn't had it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Malina Newman · Mar 2025

We heard this place had one of the best burgers and it did NOT disappoint!! We both ordered the brisket short rib burger. The bacon jam in the burger was unbelievable!!! We also had the brussel sprouts that were drenched in maple syrup and bacon bits. This place was amazing. 10/10 in all ways.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Seth Castillo · Jan 2026

The ambiance is dark. Really dark. The cocktail list was a little short. The appetizers were great but I was very disappointed with the entree. I was very excited for the rigatoni but it was so salty I could barely eat it. I was at a business dinner so I didn't want to make a deal about it. On top of that, there was a white hair in my water glass. I just expected more.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zoya · Mar 2022

Most of the food was delicious, I was not a huge fan of braised pork belly though. The brisket short rib burger and creme brulee were absolutely perfect. The waitress was alright but not great. Seating way too tight, I could touch elbows with the couple at the next table.
