Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Arlington Heights

We went to the Arlington Heights locations for Valentine's Day. We had a lovely wine tasting and then dinner. We were seated exactly at the time of our reservation. The food was phenomenal and our server was super sweet.

What an amazing experience. They are #1 for a reason. Started off a little rocky as there was no complimentary valet as mentioned on the website (maybe it's seasonal) and I had to wait an additional 15-20 mins for my reservation despite making it within the 15 min grace period. But I wasn't alone, the waiting area near the hostesses was packed! But it looks like we all got complimentary wine for the wait, hey, I'm not complaining. 15-20 min wait as packed as they were was honestly impressive. And once I sat down and began to receive my food, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the hype is well due! I had what was quite possibly the best steak I'd ever tasted, cooked to perfection, almost buttery soft. An 8oz perry filet wrapped in bacon and topped with lump crab meat, a generous portion of vegetables and good mashed potatoes. I also devoured the chocolate covered strawberries within minutes of receiving them. Great service, loved the lighting. Well worth the price. I will be back again and again!

Shaw's on a Friday, Valentine's night was a decadent and delicious experience. The bar tenders here make the best French Martini. I love the crab cakes, grilled calamari, and the very generous seafood salad. For dessert, the pecan pie was thicker than most I have tasted and shareable for two. My only wish was that it was served with more fresh whipped cream. Overall, it was a lovely dinner out with my Valentine. Thank you Shaw's!

I have to say, what a great Valentines' Day Lunch! Everyone was very accomodating and very pleasant. The cocktains, soup and entree were outstanding! Our Server Luis was excellent and made our lunch experience a 5 Star! I will return.

We all enjoyed our dinners, the service was great! Who would’ve dreamt up a Grilled Cheese with Brisket…mmmmmm
