Restaurants near Illinois Beach Nature Preserve

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The setting is great, love the lighting and vibe. The food was really good. We had salad (wedge was so good), soup, steaks and lobster tail. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and veggies had so much flavor. Even dessert was great, husband enjoyed the cheesecake and the chocolate covered strawberries I had were delicious. Our server was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back.

We have been wine club members since 2014 and Cooper's Hawk is still one of our favorite restaurants. It is consistently a great time enjoying their delicious food and the wine is always top notch. Last evening, Stephanie was our waitress and from our 1st interaction she was nothing but phenomenal. Such a genuine, hardworking woman who really made sure our experience was special. She regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and always had a smile on her face. The Gurnee location has become our favorite due to the staff really going above and beyond. They truly enjoy their jobs and customer service is a top priority. The restaurant is clean, the food is cooked perfectly, the wine is incredible. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for a wonderful early Valentine's dinner.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday on a Tuesday night. She had the halibut and I had frutti di mare. The halibut, which I had on a previous visit, was a large portion which was expertly prepared. Actually the best we've ever had. My dish was filled with large portions of seafood including large chunks of crab legs. Delicious!! Our dinner was capped off with a complimentary desert. The food was great and the service was outstanding.

It was a lovely lunch. It's a very pretty restaurant. The food was good and the service was good also. We liked the menu and will be back to also try some other options. WE had the crispy vegetarian rolls, the chicken dumplings and the tuna tartar. I think the rolls were our favorite. Also the speical shaken teas from the bar were really great!
