It was very busy but food and service were still quick. The chicken Alfredo was so good. Prices are a little on the higher side. Pretty good portions. Would come back.

Best food in Mchenry, I’ve been coming here for years and have never had a disappointing meal. Sausage and peppers , shrimp burrata, bruschetta, amazing for appetizers. Stuffed chicken is my go to for dinner. Today i had lunch for the first time, chicken bruschetta sandwhich. Super tasty and the fries were amazing. All the servers are super friendly.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me. I will never go back. I went there for dinner on a Sunday night about a year ago and ordered the filet mignon with a hefty 38 dollar price tag. No soup or salad included. I ordered medium rare. This steak was overcooked and very tough and dry. I couldn't even chew it. Had the tenderness of an overcooked pot roast. I returned the steak. Approx 10 minutes later the waitress came back with the same plate of food with the same steak. She told me that the cook said it's cooked perfectly and refused to remake my dinner. This waitress was very rude. At that point I had no intention of returning. But yesterday I decided to give this establishment another try. I do love supporting local businesses. Pretty much exactly the same thing happened again. This 38 dollar filet was even difficult to cut. I was sitting at the bar instead of a table this time and asked the bartender if they could remake it. The bartender was absolutely awesome but that same waitress from last time came to me again about 10 minutes after sending back my plate. She had the same food that I sent back and actually had the audacity to address me with "we have been through this before ". And "there is nothing wrong with this steak." How absolutely insulting and embarrassing. Other patrons were quite shocked. This waitress was becoming loudly argumentive and I just told her I would pay for my wine and never return to this restaurant. I told her that I was giving them another chance to earn my business, and she didn't even care. I frequently dine at other local restaurants and to the best of my recollection have never returned a meal to the kitchen. I have plenty of other choices in McHenry. This once good restaurant has gone completely down hill..

I called ahead to Nicole to set up an event for 18 people. She and the team did an amazing job setting us up and from the moment we walked in to the time we walked out. Thank you all so much.

My significant other's sister invited us to dinner... if it wasn't for her, we would have never known this place existed. When we got there, the place was packed, but we got seated right away. I'm glad she took us there, because we had a great time. The food was great, and the service was extremely fast. I highly recommend going there, you won't be disappointed.

Ordinarily a 5 star place, one of the best in McHenry, but be careful with the Whitefish. The last time in, someone in our foursome ordered in and it was covered with a brown spice that rendered it visually inedible. Avoid the whitefish! Everything else our group had was the (as usual) delicious and up to Bimbo's usual standards. That experience will not keep us from McHenry's best restaurant in the future.
