Best Steak Restaurants in Riverwoods

Food was amazing. Server not great. Didn’t pick up empty plates. Others had to come by and help support. Asked if they could take the menus before taking our orders. Couldn’t recommend on cocktails.

We came up to Eddie Merlot’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my beautiful wife. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful evening with Sue & Antonio.  Eddie Merlots was as busy as I’ve ever seen it and yet the food came out on time and the service was fantastic! Sue & Antonio they never let you see them sweat!! Tim The general manager, stopped by just to make sure that our evening was meeting the standards. The hostess handed my wife, a beautiful rose, which she loved and cherished. Such a nice touch on Eddie Merlot’s part. I’m telling you you won’t go wrong if you go to Eddie Merlot’s and ask for Sue & Antonio. 

Really nice night - we went for Valentine’s Day - which should have been crazy - the restaurant was full - that said the food was delicious and the service perfect (as usual) - all in all a lovely evening!

Our first time trying Rosebud Wheeling and it was mostly impressive! The prices( as with most restaurants like this) are too steep! Be selective as to not over do it! The only disappointment was the complimentary rolls! Two rather basic dinner rolls dressed up in glossy oil or melted butter with flecks of parsley! Tasteless! I think given the upper level caliber of this establishment- Rosebud should do better or don’t bother! This was a very cheap opening to our meal!

We enjoyed the Valentines Day menu including bison meatballs, tomato & onion salad, petite filets, mashed potatoes , & chocolate cake! All were accompanied with a California red wine blend. Note to mgr: please put that tomato, onion & blue cheese salad on the regular menu… it was a winner! All food was cooked to perfection. Our server, Stacie, did an excellent job…courteous & fun! Even though it was a busy night, the service & food did not disappoint.
