“Jude's has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Crystal Lake. I love the variety of internationally inspired options and the size of the plates is perfect. I brought a very large group of ladies there for Black Friday, everyone has particular tastes and was able to find something they liked. They have a very trendy area in the back with a huge couch/bench for larger parties which was so comfortable. To top it off, the staff are always kind and accommodating during our visits!“

“I love the vibe of the restaurant and the food is DELICIOUS. I got the Ragu Spaghetti, it’s literally amazing and the portions are great if you’re like me and love to eat ?. Saganaki is amaze. The Octopus was also super good. It’s a really cool place in Lake in the Hills.“

“Went here for a first date and we loved the ambience and atmosphere and the decor! The cocktails are very well prepared and well presented, and delicious! The staff are all friendly and sociable and we have already decided to come back again soon! :-)“

“Love the Martini Room! I've been regularly going there for their flights on Wednesdays for about a year. I decided to have my 22nd birthday here and easily planned with Gery, he and the bartenders are Super friendly. Had about 20 people in our section that Angel made sure were taken care of. I love that we can bring our own food and they let you order to there as well. I mostly only go during the week because I'm not into drag shows or burlesque- everyone has their own opinion- if you're also not into that be forewarned they do those often on weekends. But they also have live music on some weekends, definitely check their website first if that's a concern. Parking can be tricky especially when it's cold because it's street parking on the bank next door but in the summer time it's not a far walk from the train station on national. I love love love the martini room! My favorite local place.“

“This place is awesome. Really great food near the Fox River. In old downtown Algonquin historical area.Food is top-notch great chef on board. Great wine list and excellent spirits. Had Eagle Rare and glenlivets 18. We want during the week on a Wednesday at about 4:00. First person there but it quickly filled up. Food excellent service great atmosphere is excellent we will be going back. It is a little bit on the pricey side so we'll go there on special occasions.“
