    Have ALWAYS enjoyed eating at the Reserve in the Harrah's Joliet location. Over the many years , I've become good friends with several of the chefs and servers, and have never been disappointed with either food or service. KUDOS.

    Cut 158 Chophouse is my favorite restaurant for special occasions. I had been talking to my husband about the restaurant after going there for the first time last December. Earlier this year, I made a reservation for our Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at scheduled time and was immediately seated at a table on the second level of restaurant. My husband was very impressed over the great menu selections. The food, the service, and the overall ambience of the restaurant contributed to a perfect evening!

    Was Valentines day and too my wife, her widowed sister, and her friend. The Landing did a set menu for the special day. Shared app, soup or salad, your choice of steak or sword fish, and a shared dessert per couple. Overall the food was very good. Having live near Lockport and attending HS there I am always interested in the old structures. The atmosphere of the old historic building and great food made for a wonderful experience. My only 2 criticism would be the price of drinks are on the high side and would like to have had 2 apps.

    My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. We happen to go about a year ago to Juliet's and was amazingly surprised at the restaurant, quality of food (real Chef), wait staff. It would be something you would find at an expensive, costly Chicago restaurant by far. The price of the food and drinks are also reasonable. Parking is easy too. Being a Joliet native and familiar with these surroundings, it is quite safe to be down there, as some people are not native and hear Joliet east side and think it is unsafe. It's near the Rialto Theatre. A must in my opinion!
