So many recommended this place but honestly we were very disappointed and won’t bother going again. The food was mediocre and the service was horrible. We were a party of 8 and the waitress had to be called multiple times by us for service. This place won’t ever see my money again.

Great steak and seafood restaurant.Love the open grill concept. We had the ribeye, the filet, and the cheeseburger, and all three were delicious! The management and bartenders are great. Really enjoyed ourselves and would visit again when we are back in Gurnee.
