“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

Mijo's Authentic Mexican Food Mexican • $
33 US-12, Fox Lake

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

North Shore Distillery, LLC Cocktail Bar • $$

“I worked closely with Sonja to host a surprise 'Whiskey & Blues' themed b-party for my husband’s 60th. She was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with and very communicative and accomodating throughout the planning process. The party turned out fantastic, complete with signature cocktails - and great whiskey - for the birthday boy. Everyone loved the ambiance, the personalized cocktails and the overall vibe of the space perfectly matched the theme.

As an event planner, this venue was the perfect setting for a party!“

“Our family agreed that the atmosphere was our favorite– cozy and quaint, with wood beams and booths that feel like their own little rooms. Great for conversation! I loved the cottage pie– great flavor, and the ravioli was outstanding. The hamburgers looked great too. Perfect for a casual night or special occasions. We will be back for sure!“

“We picked Maevery last minute for our son's navy graduation dinner and it didn't dissapoint. They accommodated a last minute reservation and put us in a corner great table for easy catching up. Service was great (which we didn't experience in multiple fine dining restaurants downtown) and food was yummy and a good selection. .. they had awesome recommendations and treated us wonderfully! Didn't rush us and from 5-6pm we nearly had the place to ourselves before the dinner rush! Highly recommended by this out of town visiting family! Thank You (from Southern CA) We will be back if we are in Chicago again!“
