Tavern Steakhouse Libertyville

A wonderful experience for our special evening thoroughly enjoyed our food and my espresso martini was perfect and not too sweet. our waitress was amazingly attentive and very nice. all dining experiences should be this tasty and comfortable.

Oysters and smoked salmon starters were excellent, Wagyu strip steak was not chewable, server was nice but weak and needs training. My steak ordered rare plus was cold so either waiter and/or kitchen doesn't know and server never asked how the steaks were. The atmosphere is amazing and we love the place but this visit was not up to their normal standard.

Such a lovely experience for my Mom's birthday! The staff are so warm and accommodating and the ambience in fresh and exciting. Would absolutely recommend.

Another special occasion at The Tavern. Our family loves their oysters and their 22 oz dry aged steak. They said it was once again cooked just as requested and was delicious! We both had the salmon on the specials menu and independently found that we didn't like it very much unfortunately. In the past, the salmon on the regular menu was terrific, but this was a different version. Should've gone with the halibut. They are back to serving warm, fresh bread again which we enjoyed. The drinks were terrific and there is a selection of German NA beers which two of us really liked. Not your run of the mill O'Douls that other places have, but instead they carry Krombacher both in NA Hefeweizen and the NA Pilsner. The truffle fries were very good, and really too generous of a portion. The three of us could only finish 1/2 the plate. We sampled desserts-- creme brulee, carrot cake and the lava cake. All were good. Our waitress and all of the bus staff were very personable and prompt, frequently checking on whether we needed anything. Service was excellent. Noise is much lower upstairs, which we prefer now that the downstairs has been changed to a lounge. The decor is one of a kind and we really think it is pretty special.

I ordered a Delmonico steak which was below expectations. It was not a ribeye cut. The meat had no marble and was not tasty.I have eaten at the Tavern for 25+ years and this was my first major disappointment. The Tavern credited me for the order but it ruined our meal.Peter 9/18/25

Always a great experience! The food is excellent and the service is top notch. They pace everything very well and you don't feel like they are trying to turn tables.

Always great service and the prices are amazing for the quality of food. The atmosphere is the best in lake county.

Very unique and great restaurant in Downtown Libertyville. Great food, ambience and servers. Highly recommended!

We went to dinner for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The ambiance, the food and the staff were excellent. We would strongly recommend the experience.

The Tavern is always an amazing experience. The food is delicious, the staff superb and the atmosphere is charming, quiet and relaxed. There are a lot of local restaurants where you can get steak, but none as enjoyable as the Tavern.

Excellent food, great service and a truly enjoyable experience. This place is highly recommended...

Our family has been going to Tavern for well over 30 years. A few of their servers have been working there since " Tavern in the Town" opened in the 1980's. That alone tells a lot about the quality here. While other places have come and gone, Tavern sustained. That too tells a big story. It's much more of an experience than just a great meal. We all know how expensive it has become to go out - anywhere. If you're looking for this kind of experience - look no firther.

great wine. whenever i'm in town i eat there because of your wine list. your food is excellent but your wine list is absolutely amazing

Food is outstanding. Ambience is a great little hideaway in the heart of Libertyville. Only area of opportunity is the timeliness and professionalism of the wait staff.

It had been years since we visited Tavern and was very disappointed. I asked by my steak to be cooked medium and it was super well done, over tenderized and very salty.
