Very cute idea for "high tea" . Service was excellent, but the food was not. Sandwiches were boring, sweets tasted artificial and the scones were inedible (who likes raisin scones anyways)? Also, the advertised prices were incorrect (bottle of Prosecco was $32 on the menu but $40 on the bill). Will we return to Jude's for certain items off their normal menu - Yes! Will we return for the high tea - No!

We've been wanting to try Jude's forever and boy are we glad we made it in! Great food, great drinks!
Olivia
We love Jude's so much! We have been a few times now and it's one of our favorites! Will continue to go!!
Linda
We reserved an outdoor igloo and loved the experience. Our server Grace was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the igloo dining at Jude's!

The food, service, and cocktails at Judes are always spot on. The only suggestion I would make for improvement is to identify how spicy the menu items are. Every time we go I end up with a dish I cannot enjoy because the menu description does not sound spicy but the dish packs some heat (like the Japanese Ramen, for example).

Banana foster dessert was the best thing on the menu. The s'mores old fashioned was great too. Only downsides were being placed right next to the door they constantly opened for outside tables which was very cold. And we had a baby in a high chair that we told them about in advance and they decided to put the high chair as close as possible to the door. Also we showed up at 410 for a 4pm reservation and the woman who checked us in gave us a hard time for “being late” and basically told us we might have to hurry depending on other reservations. Not a big deal, but not an ideal way to make a first impression.

This time around we did their fun igloo dining on the patio. It was a different, more intimate experience that indoor dining (recommend doing both during all seasons) but just as amazing because the service, food and drinks are out of this world. Literally I tell all my friends and always throw Judes in as an option when choosing a dinner place!

What a wonderful place. Dynamite dishes, tasty cocktails and super service. Make sure to give this place a try. We will be back!

This is such a cute welcoming place. Nice bar, great Gin selection, along with other cocktails. Small plates from many types of food, great to share. Something for any taste. Our server was great, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.

Jude's Cocktail Bar in Crystal Lake is amazing. The quality and selection of menu selections cannot be beat. It totally reminds me of a tucked away quaint European bistro. Unassuming ...Quiet pure class!
Very convenient if you need to grab a bite before a show at the Raue Theater across the street. More of a bar atmosphere. Restaurant offers small plates, and food is very good. Wine offered at 6 oz. or 9 oz., but I couldn't see the difference in the pours.
Mary
Fabulous. I love the food! And the drinks! We celebrated my friend's birthday with a flourless chocolate cake. Delightful!

My go-to when friends come out from Chicago to visit. So many choices of delicious small plates and creative cocktails. I've never been disappointed at Jude's. Excellent attentive service.
