Blown away. This is an incredible local place with an amazing food and cocktail menu. It gives city vibes without having to go to Chicago and I’m here for it. All the small plates were delicious. I’d say 2 plates/person absolutely will fill you up. You can push for a 3rd but prepare to take food home. This is the spot to dabble in international cuisine. We had so many delicious plates amongst my group of 4. We love that the menu changes seasonally. Cannot wait to come back and devour all the tasty items.

F-ing Amazing ! Chilean Sea Bass in a saffron butter (our fave), Grilled Avocado Caprese Salad (our second fave), Salt & Pepper Tofu Lollipops (love and strong spices) and Mediterranean Chicken Skewers (tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned - house-made tzatziki is the star) + Singapore Sling (perfect) + Gin n Tonic (classic and strong). Definitely recommend and will come back and keep trying more … Sat at the bar and had good service too. Add in Poppadom (thin and crunchy) after the fact (if they don’t offer, ask for it - it’s complimentary). Don’t get too excited. If you see anything on the reviewer’s menus that might be seasonal, because they won’t likely be carrying it now (drinks included). Also their own digital menus in the resto bathrooms currently say they have “Claw-tinis” on the weekends and they don’t. My second drink was the Pomegranate Mint … it was pretty good but preferred my Singapore 🇸🇬 Sling. We will be back !

Delicious and creative global selections at extremely reasonable prices. Awesome desserts and eclectic cocktail menu. My friend had the Orange Chicken and I had the Chilean Sea Bass YUM!!!!. We had the Irish Creme Moose Trio - super! The flat chips and sauces trio that's put on the table when you're seated is delicious. Outdoor seating is in shade or full sun, indoor seating is behind a large front window and if that's open it's like sitting outside, but without the traffic noise and sun. This is now my go-to lunch with the girls!

Jude's is more than just a gin bar. They serve tapas from all around the world. Our server Paul made it a memorable dining experience. While waiting for our cocktails, we enjoyed crispy papadum with mint cucumber yogurt, mango chutney, and tomato and onion. Throughout our meal, each of us had 2-3 cocktails. Quinn enjoyed Jack & Coke and Smoke on the Water. My boyfriend enjoyed the Cold Toddy, Moscow Mule, and Smoke on the Water. Among the 3 cocktails (The PPG, Be My Cherry Pie, and Chai Some Pumpkin) I had, my favorite was The PPG, which tasted like a spiced sangria/wassail. If you didn't drink the Chai Some Pumpkin cocktail fast enough, you'd be drinking a shot of gin at the end. Since we weren't super hungry, we shared four tapas - Fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds, Crispy Peking Duck, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Black Angus Burger Sliders with Blue Cheese Crumble. The Fried Wisconsin Cheese Curds was a fan favorite. It consisted of battered and fried fresh Wisconsin Curds served with a tangy tomato aioli. I liked how the Crispy Peking Duck came pre-wrapped in a chinese pancake, crisp and fresh ingredients.

The flatbreads here were my favorite of what we ordered. The Italian beef flatbread is spicy! Maybe a little too spicy but the Mediterranean one was great. My girlfriend had the pierogis which she liked a lot. Cocktails were ok expected a little more from a cocktail bar.

A fun place to try many different cuisines! Nice vibes and the menu lead to great chats with my friend about all of the different foods. We tried the duck poutine, chicken tikka masala, and caramel coconut shrimp, as well as the included papadum appetizer (a great surprise and nice with all the sauces). Good portions for sharing, though the small plates that you eat on are actually pretty small, like a saucer; we felt messy, especially with the rice from the tikka masala, but heard that others usually make more of a mess while plating up. My friend tried one of the gin cocktails with blueberries and absolutely loved it — we had no idea they make their own gin! Service was friendly and we look forward to returning.

Finally, some city-quality food in the NW suburbs. If you’re looking for a spot with an inventive menu, a cozy cute vibe, and superb service, look no further. It’s now my new favorite restaurant in Crystal Lake and probably all of the surrounding suburbs.
