I migliori ristoranti per i compleanni a Crystal Lake

Outstanding food and environment. Fish was outstanding, meat excellent, drinks supurb, environment the best. I am sick of restaurants undercooking meat to "prove" they are sophisticated. "Medium Rare is what "Rare" was 10 years ago. I like it rare to medium rare; but high end restaurants keep pushing it more rare - IMO so they aren't "judged" on being unsophisticated. It's becoming absurd today - for ALL high end restaurants lean in this direction. We need to develop a legit standard.

This was my first visit to The ANNEX and will not be my last. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. My company located in Elgin on Randall Road was entertaining for the first time a prospective business colleague and we desired to impress him. Therefore, it was a bit of a risk having not eaten at The ANNEX previously. One of the more unique aspects is that there was a place for a request when making a reservation and I respectfully requested an ideal table arrangement to allow good conversation between all in a party of 8. Chloe and her colleagues arranged the tables in a square shape with 2 on each side and it worked out splendidly. Listening is a huge part of a successful business so kudos to The ANNEX for listening and catering to our request. The service (also Chloe) was superb, very attentive, very genuine. The food was fantastic. I personally had the 'special' short rib, which is going to be a regular on the menu moving forward. Fantastic! I am breaking one of my personal rules by sending this review. When I find a place (any type of place) that I love I do not want to ruin it by having EVERYONE know. I know it sounds selfish, but I will tell my closest friends and ask them to keep it to themselves. In this case, I simply owe it to Chloe etal to make their excellence known just like all of the reviews that led me to try it out on an important night for our company. Thanks again and we look forward to our next visit. I strongly recommend The ANNEX for your next fine restaurant experience. Everyone was friendly and down to earth while providing a 'best in class' meal and service.
