    Quiet Sunday night, Bubbles was the best. Pho is really good, very flavorful and rich. Moroccan Beef Skewer is very good. Loved the salt and peper tofu. Beef saty is nice. Love all of their dipping sauces.

    Wow what a great find. Never been here before but will return. Good wines, great food, terrific service. The only negative was the volume of ambient noise coming from the front half of the restaurant. Yow! It hits you when you come thru the door.

    I requested a hot toddy as I had a cough, they couldn’t make it although they clearly have a kitchen, hot water, why not? We went down the street to a sports bar and they made it with no problem! My whisky sour was just sour w no whisky. Asked for extra cherries. They forgot the cherries and they were the ice cream cherries. Not even the heavy syrup ones. My friends drink wasn’t great either she said. This is my third time going and it doesn’t get better. Sad.

    There was a large selection of craft cocktails. You couldn't choose wrong if you tried. We shared Ahi Tuna Tacos and an Alfredo/goat cheese Flatbread with shrimp. Just the right amount of food and the flavors were incredible. But be sure to save room for dessert! We had the Mousse Trio and the bread pudding! YUM!

    Love Judes! Great cocktails and so many options with small plates. Service is always so friendly and welcoming and we especially love Camryn, the host. Judes is a fantastic place to meet friends and a nice alternative to some of the local bars.

    This is the first time I've left a negative review anywhere as I have never felt more unwelcomed or been treated with such disrespect. I'll spare you the details, but sadly the experience overshadowed anything positive to report. We were treated to an extremely rude manager and rude hostess on the way out. Both could use some training on polite, respectful communication to foster good customer service. As a long-time resident of Crystal Lake I expect a kinder community. So disappointed, and will never be back.
