Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Crystal Lake

Hidden gem with flavorful seasonal menu. Small plates and large plate options. We split two small plates (cauliflower and crostini), a salad and one large plate (slow cooked ribs). Plenty of food and each dish fill off interesting flavors.

It's a must in Crystal Lake!...Quiet, friendly, excellent menu and presentation.. love the Martini glasses!😉

Food and wine were excellent. Service was exceptional. I had short rib risotto which was great. Brought friends from out of town for their first visit and they loved it. We will all be back.

Used to be my all time favorite restaurant. When we first started going to Wildfire, my horseradish crusted fillet was $36. It’s now $58. I’m sure it was at least 20 years ago, but that is one outrageous increase in price. It prevents us from going to the restaurant more often than we do. Now if we go once a year, it’s just a special treat. We used to go a lot more often. However, times, Covid, etc. are all reasons we can’t go more often anymore. I do believe the prices are totally outrageous. So sad.

Excellent food and service! We had the crabcakes which were delicious for an appetizer, and we had a side salad for myself, which was plenty, quite a nice serving! I also had the Wednesday special chicken that was excellent. My husband had the trios fillet which he always enjoys! The service was excellent ! And we love the ambience!
