    Very crowded on New Year’s Eve, slow service, very noisy. Food was good. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it. Maybe just an off night?

    My wife and I went to 129 for dinner on New Year’s Eve. It was our first time there. We had dirty martinis at the bar before our reservation time. My wife had the Argentinian skirt steak and I had the Trio Filet for dinner. They were both cooked perfectly to medium rare and were delicious. Allysa did a great job taking care of us even though it was super busy that evening. We will definitely be back.

    We like Center Cut a lot and go there often as it is a more upscale place in downtown Grayslake. However we are not a fan of live loud music while trying to eat and have a conversation with our dinner companions. If I’m going to see live music I know what I’m getting into and expect to listen and not try to talk during the show. Our reservations were for 5:30 on a Saturday evening, so we didn’t expect to have our conversation compete with live loud music.

    This was our first time enjoying the experience at 129 Center Cut and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. Nick, our server, was phenomenal as was the entire staff that assisted him. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

    All was great! It was very loud but we did sit on the bar side and a musician was performing (we was very good). Rowdy type of vibe - at least that night.
