Best Lunch Restaurants in Crystal Lake

This is our usual goto spot for date night and celebrations

I don’t usually give 5 stars across the board but, it’s deserved.

We’ve always loved this place my wife had the Salmon which was very good I had the gluten free flatbread which in the past has been excellent but it was so so tonight. But we love this place

Great choices for gluten free (sensitive) food choices. Place is smaller, so reservation help save us a seat, and we didn't have to wait. Our waitress was great with knowing the menu.

We very much enjoyed PL8 and plan to return. The food was very good, and the service was attentive. The vibe is fun and a bit eclectic. The owner engaged with us which was a nice touch. The one thing that would help is better descriptions of the ingredients and prep in each menu item so that guests have a better idea of what they’re ordering. My husband ordered a dish he frequently chooses at other Chinese restaurants, and the prep and ingredients at PL8 were much different than what he was expecting. The dish was good, but not what he’d had in mind.
