    Have ALWAYS enjoyed eating at the Reserve in the Harrah's Joliet location. Over the many years , I've become good friends with several of the chefs and servers, and have never been disappointed with either food or service. KUDOS.

    Cut 158 Chophouse is my favorite restaurant for special occasions. I had been talking to my husband about the restaurant after going there for the first time last December. Earlier this year, I made a reservation for our Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at scheduled time and was immediately seated at a table on the second level of restaurant. My husband was very impressed over the great menu selections. The food, the service, and the overall ambience of the restaurant contributed to a perfect evening!

    Great staff including servers with personality, genuine care and a water guy that filled my glass more frequently than anyone in my many years eating out. My wife and I loved the environment as well, warm feel and solid selection of dinner music.

    My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. We happen to go about a year ago to Juliet's and was amazingly surprised at the restaurant, quality of food (real Chef), wait staff. It would be something you would find at an expensive, costly Chicago restaurant by far. The price of the food and drinks are also reasonable. Parking is easy too. Being a Joliet native and familiar with these surroundings, it is quite safe to be down there, as some people are not native and hear Joliet east side and think it is unsafe. It's near the Rialto Theatre. A must in my opinion!
