Elgin is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Elgin follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

This place is great. Great place for a first date. Food is higher end with a neat unique atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and positive with recommendations. I got the malt 12 Oz and it was served with the metal mix cup and the glass sundae cup. Quality was superb. I also got the appetizer of shrimp and bruschetta. Beautiful presentation and delicious to boot. Elgin is a hidden treasure. This place is a prefect example of that.

This place is awesome. Delicious food, large portions. Did not have room for a malt, but we will return. The cocktails were good as well as the service. Parking is on the street or parking garage a block away.

Updating my review to reflect the fact they have made the salmon teriyaki for me each time I've called!! It's amazing, wish I could eat there more often. They've amazing homemade soups as well I love the cream of cauliflower as well as their split pea!!

Superior quality, service and atmosphere at an incredibly reasonable price. We have been regulars here for years and they never disappoint. They have a solid menu that is complimented by monthly specials. The portions are generous and prepared with care. Our favorites are the Cajun shrimp appetizer and pork medallions, and we never miss the Icelandic cod when itβs a special (all pictured). Save room for ice cream. The only thing better than their sundaes are the milkshakes. Those come in the tin they are made in to scoop into your glass. All of this in a century-old former bank (sit upstairs - itβs roomy and beautiful) in the revived downtown Elgin Riverwalk area. You wonβt be disappointed.
