The Grand Social House & Tavern

Love the decor. Great cosmos. Was there on soft opening and will definitely be a returning guest. Enjoyed the appetizers: Meatballs & shrimp Entree: Roasted garlic chicken & fettuccine pasta & broccolini scampi Dessert: Mousse was delicious not a fan of tiramisu bites

So glad to see this spot back in action after four years! The transformation of the old Middleton’s is stunning! it’s got a moody, polished vibe with dark wood and great art, but it still feels like a place where you can actually kick back and stay a while. The food is legit. Definitely grab the Wagyu meatballs and the PEI mussels (you’ll want extra bread for that broth, trust me). The Parmesan soup is a standout, and if you’re stuck on an entree, the carbonara was incredible. The real star, though? THE BARS! The wine list is exceptional, and extremely unique. I would be back just for wine and small bites!! Wauconda really needed a win like this. High energy, on point service, and easily one of the coolest spots in the suburbs right now.

We had the fried burrata, spaghetti, smash burger, and chocolate mousse. All amazing. Can't wait to go back!

Special place run by special people who care about you and your dining experience. We held a big family birthday event upstairs and everything was exquisite. The food, the service and the atmosphere was all fantastic and everyone went out of their way to make the party special. Thank you chef Chris, Greg and Phil. What a great neighborhood restaurant and addition to Wauconda.

So excited for this place! Food, drinks, service- all excellent! The decor and atmosphere is top notch! Can’t wait to come back!
