Stevens' — Restaurant in Gurnee

Well since I started another job up north close to Gurnee working in my usual field of drafting I was invited to a farewell party to a coworker who's worked there for so many years and they took him to the best. Surprisingly they took me to the best because we got to order whatever we had despite that this was a work-related and not on my own accord but I will be coming back here on my own accord. Beware the prices are somewhat high for steak but then again it makes it for the quality since I've never been here and it's my first time trying Steven's steakhouse in a very low-key area next to Great America on Washington Street buy a strip plaza I was familiar with when I used to do my college meetups up here long ago in mid-2000s and a few times in the 90s traveling to Waukegan Gurnee area. Anyways the food is fabulous. Starting off with the coconut shrimp that I was even thinking that everybody else was stinking. The shrimp was just the right size the batter that it was made in was just the amount that was not to full of batter likewise with the coconut the sauce that they use. The calamari was also delicious too they didn't also bread too much or batter too much over the squid and they gave you two choices of sauce which was actually pretty good. There is a lot of very good dishes I wanted that day between lamb chops and the steak since I haven't had steak for a while at a steakhouse and this place didn't disappoint. I ordered the 11 oz New York strip medium rare and I had a choice of sides I went for a more healthier approach avoiding carbs by eating a broccoli and the way they cook the broccoli was not to hot and moist. If not soggy. I ended my pallet with a dessert I haven't had which is creme brulee which was also very delicious the caramelization on the custard was just the right amount on the surface and the right amount of fruits they put on the creme brulee. I will be going back on my own to trying the lamb chops. As well as the beef wellington that my coworkers had mentioned about here and I'm not a big fan of beef Wellington. Do note to people that the prices are somewhat pricey it's like over $20 for each entree the main entree and like the appetizers are over $15 from what I saw briefly despite displaying the menu on my review. A underrated steakhouse in the Northern lake county suburbs that needs to...

My husband and I came down from WI for our wedding anniversary because no other stakehouses were open. We found this on a Google search. Upon sitting down, our server asked if we were celebrating anything and we shared that it was our anniversary.

We chose the appetizer special, bruschetta made with honey marscapone (sp?), and topped with pistachio. It was creamy and dreamy and we knew we were in for a good meal. I ordered the mistletoe mule, absolutely delicious and beautiful presentation. House bread and salads also didn’t disappoint.

My husband ordered the special, a NY strip done Manhattan style with a mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection, and honey, that brown gravy was something to dance in your chair about. Delicious!

At the end of our meal, our server Alejandro brought us a giant chunk of a chocolate cake, with the plate decorated “happy anniversary”.

We were so thrilled with the food, but on top of the happy dance worthy food, Alejandro and the team were so on top of everything. It was such a lovely dinner.

And random side note, the ladies bathroom was so beautifully decorated and crystal clean.

So glad we found this on a random google search, can’t wait to go back.

Thanks, Alejandro for taking such...

Had our office Christmas party there in a private room last night and had an amazing experience. I booked with Brad in October He was fantastic to deal with and so incredibly helpful and kind. When I got there he made sure to check in with me to see if the room was to my satisfaction(beautifully decorated) and made sure to let me know he was there all night if I needed anything.

.I wish I knew the name of the server we had because he was top notch!!! We were a party of 15 and he kept up with the drinks during our cocktail and appetizer ( calamari, shrimp cocktail the size of small children and the bruschetta were amazing) hour like a champ. When we finally settled into our seats he made sure everyone was comfortable had time to look over the menu and took our orders perfectly. The food did not take long to come out for a big group and was made to perfection. Everyone loved the meals they chose from the full menu. Desserts were ordered and again delicious. The fact that the restaurant had pretty much closed by the time WE decided to leave and were not rushed at all was also fantastic. Thank you for helping make this one of the best Christmas party’s I’ve ever been to. I would highly recommend giving them a shot for...
