Best Cozy Restaurants in Elgin

Great place food was excellent and at a great price. Will be back to try other things on the menu.

5th or 6th visit to the Walrus room. And as in all the previous visits it was perfect. We had an early meal as this was a last minute reservation and they were booked. Prime rib was excellent as were the vegetables and mashed potatoes. Our waiter was attentive, but not over bearing. If you have never been here put it on your list worth the trip, just reserve a table early as they are always booked.

On this busy Valentine night, it was our tenth wedding anniversary, and our server Courtney was wonderful! We ordered some of our favs: the hubs loves the lobster bisque and the surf and turf. I had the special: brown butter scallops on top of jasmine rice with spinach in a wonderful buttery balsamic reduction. NOTE: the portion size of the scallops was VERY generous and well priced (by comparison, I once ordered scallops at another local winery type restaurant, and it was served - I kid you not - three scallops in a row on a long plate with NO SIDES for nearly the same price as CH). The sauce esp was sumptuous and the scallops were cooked to perfection. I had the recommended wine with the scallops as well: the Artists SAG awards White Blend. I had to have the chocolate cremeaux dessert: a chocolate mousse with a toffee cream on top, and whipped cream with toasted coconut, almond, chocolate crunch on top of that. DIVINE! I also ordered a glass of sparkling almond wine which was our wedding drink. Simply delicious! Courtney celebrated our wedding anniversary with us (we were married at a different CH ten years ago) and was knowledgeable, caring, and non-intrusive. Loved this dinner! Will be back of course!

Well, above average for price point! Very nice environment. High-end steak diner would be my best description not a Ruth’s Chris steakhouse but so much nicer than a Jamison‘s. If you’re looking for quality and affordability with a nice environment, this is a good place for you.

Good food, good value, great service. Great daily specials.
