- SSusanChicago / Illinois •19 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe do the early dinner between 4-5pm as we want to enjoy each other's conversation without talking over others. Plus you can actually hear the beautiful music playing. Food is fantastic and so worth the price. Staff are so energetic, friendly, helpful, and since we go early enough we can actually talk with our server and get to know them a little. Makes the evening so pleasurable. A great neighborhood gem.More infoStevens'Price: Expensive• Steakhouse• Gurnee•4.7

- GGregoryVIPChicago / Illinois •43 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 12, 2025My wife and I celebrated her birthday on a Tuesday night. She had the halibut and I had frutti di mare. The halibut, which I had on a previous visit, was a large portion which was expertly prepared. Actually the best we've ever had. My dish was filled with large portions of seafood including large chunks of crab legs. Delicious!! Our dinner was capped off with a complimentary desert. The food was great and the service was outstanding.More infoPrimo Italian American CuisinePrice: Expensive• Italian• Gurnee•4.6
