Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Waukegan

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at Destino. Thank you to the wonderful staff and Happy Holidays to all!

Had a very nice dining experience last evening. Food was excellent! Our server Ryan did a nice job and was very personable!

Our server Caden was enthusiastic, friendly, energetic, and a very caring individual. Food was as always suburb, tasty, fresh, hot, well seasoned. We dine early and so the noise level was perfect and so when leaving the volume started moving up. (Which isn't bad except for those of us with hearing issues.) Happy Holidays to the Steven's crew a job well done.

Incredible food - the beef tartare was zesty and delicious, beef short ribs had body but could still be cut by a butter knife, and the oat financier dessert was a delightful, lightly salty, perfectly balanced dessert - all incredible. The beef short ribs had some of the best umami flavor I've ever had thanks to the roasted puree (I think celery?) they put on the dish. Great drinks as well, try the Bella & Beatrice if you like gin at all.

First time here. Tremendous blend of tastes from start to finish ! We tried 3 unique cocktails and were not disappointed. The Fig Carré is my favorite. For starters the Potted Carrots and Shaved Butternut First timers & Squash were delicious! Of the pastas our favorite ended up being Stuffed Farfalle with Pappardelle coming in 2nd. The rainbow trout was excellent & light. We so enjoyed every taste! The butter cake was THE BOMB. Service was attentive and top notch . Was exceptional culinary experience.
