Lovely experience! Our waitress was super friendly and they have a good wine selection. Perfect amount of food and the chicken. Piccata, bbq salmon, grilled cheese and chicken schnitzel were all delicious! We will return!

A quiet mid-week visit tonight to Sonny D’s at the lake was a good choice not just for the food but also the service. The chopped salad and chicken parmigiana were excellent and in portions that guaranteed we wouldn’t leave hungry. But the service made the evening — our server was delightful and she helped steer us through beverage and good choices that were hits. Even the back waiter who brought us our meals was knowledgeable, friendly and at a young age clearly understood the elements of good guest service. Kudos to management for taking care of both sides of the guest experience.

Lived in the Chicago suburbs my whole life and never went to the Walnut Room. At 69 years old, I figured it was time to start checking off bucket list items. My friend of 55 years and I went down on Monday Sept. 28. We had the iconic pot pie and Frango cheesecake. The experience was everything I had hoped for for! Food was amazing, ambience, amazing! We also got to make reservations for Christmas with our husbands. Can’t wait to return, don’t know why I waited so long!

Since 1982, Buffalo Wild Wings® (or B-Dubs® as our friends call us) has been the ultimate place to watch the game, have a cold beer and eat some great food. At Buffalo Wild Wings, you can always feel comfortable pulling some tables together with your friends and staying as long as you want.
