Best Seasonal Restaurants in Lake Villa

Had not been to CH in a while be aware that if you want the warm rolls before dinner there is a new policy that you have to ask your server because they don't automatically bring them out. It was very busy the day before thanksgiving, but food was excellent, wait time and staff were very resourceful .

The best steak and sides we’ve ever had at a resteraunt in our area. The steak is on a hot cast iron plate and stays warm throughout. The mashed potatoes taste like a twice baked without the skin. Serving size is plentiful. The waiter, busman, Chef, lady tending bar were so nice and always smiling. The design of dining room felt elegant. Their menu has various cuisines to choose from. We’ve been wanting to try Primo since they opened but never got around to it. Always navigating to places we’ve been. Well today is our anniversary and wanted to go somewhere special so we decided to eat at Primo. We are very happy that we made reservations. Primo is now our number one steakhouse!!!

Just love the patio area, fireplace, holiday decorations… such a nice evening. Service great as always, and spinach dip, fish tacos, salmon and fried chicken were wonderful.

Great decor and a fun experience for people and kids alike! The animatronics move every few minutes and there’s a giant tank arch you walk under. It is loud since they mimic a tropical thunderstorm and the animatronics make noise, so if your plan is a quiet dinner- this is not the place. But if you love to bask in wonderful atmosphere and heavily themed spots, you’ll enjoy. Rainforest Cafe is a delightful concept with yummy food. My personal favorite is surprisingly the Korean Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Delightful gochujang and sweet and sour sauce over perfectly lightly breaded chicken with nuts. We followed it up with one of our favorites Pastalaya which is a buttery cajun delight with a kick! A volcanooooooo is a must for a rainforest cafe (though I am VERY tempted by their limited time Tsunami Cake and have plans to go back to get it). All in all, definitely worth a try at least once!

We had a great experience last night. The food was amazing started with burrata and shrimp apps were excellent. Wedge salad was absolutely delicious and steak we had were amazing. The service was fantastic our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. They also have a small but good selection of wine. Definitely a great overall experience will be back!
