Best Seasonal Restaurants in Waterloo, Illinois

We started with beet carpaccio which was amazing. Then shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. The birthday boy got a steak and I got the Delicata Squash side. At that point I was so full that I could barely finish half, even though it was delicious. Everything about the evening was wonderful and our server, Jordan, was engaging. There when we needed her but not hovering. It's a lively atmosphere, so not the place if you want to have a quiet convo but the food and service are top notch.

Every thing we had was amazing! The beef Wellington was phenomenal! Also the short ribs were good just needed a bit more sauce and was a tad bit dry. Espresso martini 🍸 was a great choice it was the perfect balance! I can’t wait to try this place again!

We’ve been here about 5 times. Drinks and service has always been excellent. But the food has been very average. They did a menu change since the last time we went, and everything we got was amazing! The food is now back on par with their service and drinks. Excited to go back again!

I Adore all the 801 Chop locales, my first time at 801 local (across the street from Lifetime-Idyllic) The bustling warm ambiance was immediately cozy & Familiar. We were greeted & seated within 5 minutes, our Waiter Kevin was prompt, attentive, friendly & recommended the Best Wine (Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir) the Seafoood Crab starter—Divine, rich & indulgent—Filet Mignon, perfect & cooked exactly to order! Thank you Tabor for checking on us & assuring we had a Phenomenal meal. Definitely order the table rolls, they are Divine with truffle butter I could take a bath in 😸🫶

The food was spectacular, and our waiter Douglas was fantastic. We will request him every time we go back. Fantastic experience!
