“We've not been there since 2017 due to relocation but have nothing but fond memories of Dover Straits. When we bought our house in Grayslake in 1995, our realtor took us there to celebrate. We continued going, mainly for birthdays, anniversaries or impress out of towners, and were never disappointed. We have immediate access to super fresh seafood in Florida but miss the ambiance and supper club vibe Dover Straits provided. Loved that the owners always greeted us like we were worth a million bucks.“

“I really enjoyed celebrating my birthday on Sunday for brunch. The food was amazing the drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. The servers were very attentive. The DJ was on point as well. I will for sure be back for brunch soon.“

“This place is awesome. We had high expectation for a crab boil, and they delivered🙌. We had their daily/weekend special and some appetizers, and all came out hot, fresh and delicious😋. We enjoy every bit of our food. The crab ragoons were highly recommended by staff because they are made daily, and the best so far in this area. We came in during the weekend, so the place was busy and almost packed. Although it was busy, our server (Asian with blond hair, sorry didn’t get his name) was awesome. We had issue with our order and he corrected right away. All in all, staffs were friendly!!!

This place is highly recommended and we will definitely coming back😍“

“This is our family's favorite restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, dinners with large groups...At this point we've been here probably 10 times and never once have we had a bad experience. Every server goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a WOW experience. The food and drinks are amazing every time. Last night we decided to try somewhere new since we just ate at Primo the previous weekend. The prices were the same yet the service and food did not compare. From now on we'll stick with here, where we know we'll have an amazing experience.“

The food is absolutely delicious, full of flavor and prepared with great care, while the drinks are incredible—perfectly crafted with a wide variety to suit every taste. On top of that, the music is always vibing with the crowd, creating an energy that brings everyone together.
Overall, La Zona 84 delivers an excellent experience in every way. It’s definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.“

“excepcional servicio y la comida deliciosa 😋“

“I’ve seen this restaurant for years (maybe decades?) while going to Napoli’s. It always appears unassuming. A friend and I decided to stop here randomly and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Great service I need to say firstly. Although the laminated menus don’t have prices, the paper ones at the counter do for most items not Market Price. Don’t let this put you off. My meal was $20.99 at time of payment before tip, for seafood. The insane amount of different whole seafood options and steak specialties, the massive colorful platters, the huge drinks… This is a wonderfully decadently-far cry from my typical Napoli’s trip. BUT they still make the essentials like tacos, sopes, and burritos too. I got the Camarones con Crema de Chipotle, my friend got the Chilaquiles Verdes. Both were on MASSIVE platters and was a great amount of food. Seasoned rich sauce, great shrimp, warm tortillas… My friend’s margarita with the Corona took forever to finish and must have had good quality tequila in it. As the meal wore on, the restaurant had more and more customers for a late Sunday lunch. It didn’t seem so empty and quiet as what you see from the outside, and it was nice seeing people coming in. I would definitely come back again or make a pickup order with the fam. Great job, employees!!“

“Excelente servicio ya comida 10/10“

“Thank you American Place Casino for the awesome Valintines Day comped dinner at the North Shore Steak and Seafood restaurant . The atmosphere was great. The fillet mingon was done to perfection and the South African Lobster was the best lobster I had in years! Every dish served from the start to the end ws excellent. Our server was outstanding as well. To top it off I won $250 freeplay on the hot seat drawing as well.“

“Mmm 😋 sabrosa comida,por ese motivo sí es él rey del pollo asado.“

“Great food and service! Many options on the menu to select from.“

“Called ahead a few hours to accommodate a party of 12.. everything went without a hitch..Extremely pleasant service and the food was OMG.. Delicious.. 5/5 ⭐️ one of the few Gems left in Waukegan. .. will definitely visit again.. Thank you for the excellent service and hospitality ❤️❤️❤️“

“The “Codfather”cod sandwich was very disappointing. The steak burger made with ground filet mignon sounded like a great idea, but the texture of the meat was the same as the texture of the bun; it was a bit off putting. The hamburger was good, as was the French dip sandwich. The fries were good, also. And, as always, the carrot cake was excellent. The service and ambience were both great. Sometimes a visit, even to a restaurant, isn't all about the food. We had a lovely time.“

“First time for a sit down dinner here. We’ve only stopped in for drinks when the live music was playing in the past. We had a bday family dinner last night and we can’t rave enough about everything. Food was outstanding, service was great and the live jazz was perfect. 5 stars Can’t wait to return.“

“We were here for Christmas brunch when it was under Allgauers. The food then was great for the price. Disappointed today as some of the items that were supposed to be hot were cold. Expected to have turkey carved directly only to have it sliced already and in a warmer.“

“Food was ok , but they charge 3% even if you paid in cash , and depend what server are there's one of lady that she’s from Colombian , she’s so mean and rude !! And they charge 18% for 4 people , this isn’t right“
