When food is sky high in price, it had better be good. Actually, it should be acceptional, ground breaking, innovative. Not here. Yes, it was good. Pedestrian? You bet. And oh, yeah, everything is a la carte. Who do these people think they are? Brace yourself for the decor----it hurts the eyes.

Now this is a little gem. Solid cooking method, a very nice wine list—a surprising beer list!—and friendly service. Tavern is an old favorite. American menu with hints of French cookery.

I live in Libertyville and enjoy the Tavern often. The decor is unique, but I love the steaks. True, this is an expensive restaurant, but what can you expect for USDA Prime, tight trims, dry aging, and a really big wine list. My job requires me to travel quite a bit, and the quality of the Tavern does hold up.... more

This restaurant is made by its interior. The wood floors, wood panels, and mardi gras beads really make for a great atmosphere. The food is very good, but expect to pay high prices. I have eaten here three times, and the first visit was by far the best....not to say that the other two were bad, just simply not quite... more
