Best Casual Restaurants in Fox Lake

Valentines night dinner: 645 reservations: the place was packed and at least 15 crazed patrons milling about the front area like a herd of cattle! The young anxious hostess told us it was gonna be awhile. I made my move to the crowded bar and there I saw it…a couple was paying a tab and putting coats on. I pounced on the young couple within seconds securing bar seats. I flagged my wife over and we took our seats at the bar. The AMAZING bartender said “its gonna be alright, im gonna take care of you now”.

We have been wine club members since 2014 and Cooper's Hawk is still one of our favorite restaurants. It is consistently a great time enjoying their delicious food and the wine is always top notch. Last evening, Stephanie was our waitress and from our 1st interaction she was nothing but phenomenal. Such a genuine, hardworking woman who really made sure our experience was special. She regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and always had a smile on her face. The Gurnee location has become our favorite due to the staff really going above and beyond. They truly enjoy their jobs and customer service is a top priority. The restaurant is clean, the food is cooked perfectly, the wine is incredible. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for a wonderful early Valentine's dinner.
