Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Board Room delights with "impeccable service," a "wonderful atmosphere," and an inventive menu. Guests rave about the drinks, charcuterie, and standout dishes like firecracker shrimp and bao buns. Though some find it pricey, the quality often justifies the cost. Note: it can get "very loud," so plan accordingly.

Servers need training. Check before placing food in front of customers. Our Thanksgiving meal was placed before a customer at the adjacent table. I saw out of the corner of my eye that she was poking the food and then stated in a loud voice, "This isn't mine!" The server picked up the plate and then after some confusion, brought it over to my table and tried to give it to me. I refused it and requested they bring it back to the kitchen and get me a second order - I am a chemo patient and have to be careful of others around me let alone taking food from a customer who had picked at it. Furthermore, one of my guests had to return her plate as everything was cold, the mashed potatoes, the turkey, the roast vegetables. It took a few more minutes to get the proper orders to us and my 2 other guests. The food was warm and tasty. But as I stated earlier, the servers should have checked to make sure they had the correct order for the correct customer and not guess nor just place the food in front of the customer. This isn't good service even if I didn't have health issues.

So happy to have found this restaurant in Libertyville. We went on a Saturday night with another couple. Great wine selection. The guys both had chicken piccata which was excellent and my friend and I shared warm Brussel sprout salad and firecracker shrimp. Large portion. Absolutely delicious. Love the atmosphere. Cozy. Great place for girls night out also. We'll be back.

We ate in the outdoor room. The server was prompt and the food was delivered in a timely manner. The server spent the right amount of time with us. We had small plates. We especially liked the firecracker shrimp and stuffed mushrooms. The room was nicely decorated. It was a lovely dinner.

Had to signal for a waiter to take our order, I was never shown the bottle of wine we ordered which was opened and poured at a different table, and all of the shared plates came at once so that I think we ate in 15 minutes!

Pork chop is outstanding as is their fall salad. Service needs to be stronger and change the music to something more pleasing to the audience. House music is not preferable.
