“Third year in a row we have come to the area for a soccer tournament. Always a big group. Nicole is awesome at making sure they have enough tables/space for us. Food is always good. Servers are always hustling. Kitchen cranks out food. Prices are great. The kids being able to play volleyball is a huge bonus. Thank you once again!”

“My first visit to Inovasi and it did not disappoint! Our server Lucia was fantastic- knowledgeable friendly and she helped me find just the right cocktail! We started with their delicious bread, and then had the crispy pork belly for appetizer. For entree we had a filet with shaved truffles and a blackened cod with lime and whipped edamame. Both were superb as was the dessert of flourless chocolate cake with raspberry purée and shipped goats cheese, and a pumpkin cheesecake. All was delicious, and the ambiance and decor was warm and inviting. We will be back!”

Tried the spicy shrimp with garlic rice, pancit, ube latte with oat milk, pink calamansi lemonade, & mango cheesecake. Delicious! Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Very reasonably priced for the portion size. The guy at the register was friendly & enthusiastic with helping us select our entree.”

“I was pretty skeptical because I love sushi, but only good sushi and I have have some bad experiences with sushi in Illinois. But this place it definitely amazing and underrated. The food was amazing and the portions are perfect; the quality was very awesome and the presentation of the food made it 10 times more amazing. The workers are very nice and patient. I think that the prices are reasonable for the quality; I have paid much more for sushi that was of terrible quality. I think the variety is super intresting too and I really enjoy coming here. Definitely try this place, even if you don't like sushi, they have many options.”

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.”

“If you are looking for a top notch corned beef or pastrami sandwich or combo of both in Libertyville, Burt's deli is the place to go! The meat is made fresh, sliced thin and piled high. It is so tender it melts in your mouth. The owner is a great kibbitzer and makes you feel welcome, even if the line is long, he will be sure to get a sample out to you. Give Burt's a try, you won't be disappointed.”
