    This wasn't our first experience at this restaurant. We always look forward to eating here. Our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is intimate and even the tables are closely spaced we never felt crowded. Our server was friendly and attentive. Even though the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed. From the house salad, to the main course, to the chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert, the food was delicious and nicely presented. You'd never know the recipes are adapted to provide those on a gluten free diet a first rate experience. I look forward to our next chance to visit.

    We were running late and called the restaurant and they graciously held are table for us. They make good craft cocktails. Try the octopus appetizer. You won’t be disappointed. Had the halibut for dinner and it was very good. They split the dinner for us no problem. Recommended a very nice wine to go with it. The carrot cake for dessert was excellent. Service was attentive and very pleasant. Atmosphere is ambient and quiet. They have a nice bar area where you can eat or drink. Definitely will come back again

    I recently brought a group of 5 friends out to lunch to The Junction in Crystal Lake. The eclectic decor is very warm and inviting. Our server was wonderful. She was kind, attentive and efficient. The menu is there is extensive with a very diverse selection. Everyone loved their food! The Beer Can Chicken was fabulous! We loved the Cadiz Shrimp Bowl and Mediterranean Bowl. And their Smash Burger was delicious. Too full to enjoy any of the signature milkshakes they offer. Next time! I have also been their twice for breakfast which was so good! Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
