Absolutely outstanding gluten free fine dining experience. Everything we ordered felt thoughtful and high quality, easily matching top restaurants from both the suburbs and the city. The cheese and cured meat selection was unforgettable, truly some of the finest flavors I have ever tasted. The filet arrived perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the drinks were smooth, balanced, and enjoyable from the first sip to the last. This spot is a must visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and a memorable dining experience.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Can I just say this restaurant was the best place I ate at in Crystal Lake Illinois. The owner Rhienna was such a delight to meet and talk with, she has a menu that is creative and wonderfully memorable. The bartender Brent, was a gentle soul with the perfect pour. He was so much fun to talk to, super great energy. Stay awesome man. Erik, who is the Wine & Spirits Director was so knowledgeable about his spirits, he showed us a 40 year aged Port wine which was absolutely delicious. Thank you for that unforgettable experience Erik. Now let’s talk about the food… DELICIOUS, EVERY SINGLE THING. I ordered the Lamb meatballs for an appetizer and one to go because I’ve never had a meatball that was so delicious in my life. Next I ordered the Mahi, which was served over a bed of mashed black beans. I was a little hesitant about that combo but DAMN was it DELICIOUS. The fish was prepared perfectly, so juicy and tender which paired perfectly with the beans. The meal was perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing. So big shout out to Jill Vedaa, Gaston and Lucas, that kitchen cranks out some heat. I should’ve came here everyday while I was out in Crystal lake, that’s my only regret. Can’t wait to be in their area again to dine here and have great conversation with great people.
