Best Date Night 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.

I've been to Bamboo Club multiple times for different events, so I knew Santa Baby would be awesome. The decorations are super cute. Service was quick, food was great, and it wasn't noisy at all (I went at 4:30 on a Wednesday).

Service is always impeccable and quick. On this visit, we were provided a complimentary taste of an umeboshi digestif and a N/A Arnold Palmer-type digestif. That made this visit extra special. December special was especially delicious!

Overall, the best restaurant I’ve been to since moving to Chicago. The appetizers were phenomenal, the main courses felt a little short, but still we’re good . And I did notice that they forgot to give us our onion soup and sparkling water we ordered 

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.
