Best Steak Restaurants in Lake Bluff

This place is great. The food is awesome. The servers Sue & Antonio are the best. Their TOP NOTCH service is because they always come and check on you. Make sure you ask for Sue & Antonio and you’ll have one of the best nights ever at Eddie Merlot’s.

What a gorgeous space! Our waiter Eddie made the evening special and made stellar recommendations. The new Tavern’s menu is more elevated than their old menu and I miss some of the old offerings. Food was good. Amy, The Sommelier, was stellar and a joy to work with. She did an exceptional job pairing champagne and wine with our dinner. Overall, the same notable service remains! Great experience by a stellar team!

Our server, Yasmin, was attentive and wonderfully informative about the menu. We were seated immediately at our reservation time. My blackberry gimbal was a treat. My lamb chops and my husband's petite fillets were cooked exactly to our specifications. Our food arrived hot and as ordered. The manager checked on us as well. Our two meals with one side each and one alcoholic drink each was $234 + tip. Extremely pricy but delicious.

The service and the food is great! I especially love the lobster mac and cheese.

Used to be my all time favorite restaurant. When we first started going to Wildfire, my horseradish crusted fillet was $36. It’s now $58. I’m sure it was at least 20 years ago, but that is one outrageous increase in price. It prevents us from going to the restaurant more often than we do. Now if we go once a year, it’s just a special treat. We used to go a lot more often. However, times, Covid, etc. are all reasons we can’t go more often anymore. I do believe the prices are totally outrageous. So sad.
