Best Casual Restaurants in Lake Villa

Overall a nice experience consistent with CH standards. Only critique: Three of us had margaritas which were very salty and sour. One was returned, one did not get consumed and I ultimately finished mine, but really did not enjoy.

Great service by Aaron. We were seated immediately and enjoyed the enclosed patio

This is the third visit to 15 Lakes and just like the first two times, it was fabulous. We ordered steaks for four that ranged from blue-rare to medium well, and they all arrived at the table perfectly cooked. (It is very difficult to get a true blue rare steak in most “steakhouses”, but 5 Lakes nailed it.) The menu changes which means it never gets stale. The service was excellent as usual, with great knowledge depth of the menu and so pleasant and cheerful. Just love this place. It’s unpretentious, pays attention to vegetables, small but mighty.

Service was fantastic this trip. Huge improvement over last time. We had the Grilled Vegetables appetizer, Lobster/shrimp Ravioli and the Almond Sea Bass for the entree and lava cake for dessert. We asked our server Jeni for recommendations and went with her suggestions for the Ravioli and desert.
