Five star meaning NO ISSUES! Well Tony and the crew will provide a 5 star rating every time. Small area to work with but is are favorite spot at the bar. Service 10, food10, and atmosphere and personality is a 10! Everyone at sometime can challenge a 5 star rating meaning that the lest meaning of a no table napkin or a missing fork can ruin one's evening. Put aside all of that menial nonsense and for the four of us there was no reason in the world for us to leave and go somewhere else to drink and eat. Great job 15 lakes and thank you for another enjoyable evening hanging at your bar! read more

What a wonderful gem in Downtown Antioch. Some of the best food I've ever had in my life - we had the meatballs as an appetizer (exceptional!) and steaks for dinner. Incredible service and an amazing meal. Can't wait to go back! read more

Visited On June 27 for dinner. Food and service were great. Interesting that a reviewer who visited a few days earlier had the hanger steak, as did I (medium rare), but said it was bad. I thought it was one of the best, flavorful, tender steaks I have ever had at a retaurant. We had a very enjoyable experience. read more

Didn't go because we live in Colorado and it was too difficult to order an e-gift certificate for my sister in Antioch by phone - only got a recorded message to call them which I did - and messaged them twice - but still couldn't talk to a live person so I sent my sister $$$ instead with a card hoping she could go and enjoy the restaurant. read more

Big City Quality, Small Town Charm We were blown away by our experience at 15 Lakes. It offers a Michelin-level food quality experience right here in Antioch. To start, the Smoked Bourbon Old Fashioneds are outstanding--perfectly balanced and some of the best we've had. While the steaks are delicious, the rest of the menu is equally impressive; the meatloaf, salmon, and pork chops were all standouts. The wait staff is incredibly attentive without being overbearing. For High-end dining with a welcoming, local feel give 15 Lakes Steakhouse a try! read more

Came here for lunch with my mom on Saturday. It's located on Main Street in downtown Antioch and is close to a few shops. I had the Southwest Steak Salad, which was good. Good size portion and had a good amount of avocado. Came with corn, tomatoes, croutons, spring greens, and cotija. The steak was seasoned nicely. The cilantro-lime dressing worked well with all the salad components and wasn't too spicy. My mom had the Alice's Tea party, which was a steak blend burger, mushrooms, havarti cheese, truffle aioli, lettuce, and tomato. All on a brioche bun. The burger looked good and was a good size portion. It came with shoestring fries, which was seasoned nicely and were crispy. She gave me a few and they were tasty. read more

I really thought this place was going to be good, especially from the reviews. First off, I looked online and when we got there, they just switched their menu that day. Okay, so I found something else to order. I tried the hanger steak, which the waitress said was really tender and tasty. My boyfriend and adult daughter ordered filets. My grandson ordered the kid's filet, which was about 3 bites and a few fries. We all ended up giving him some of our food. First off, the hanger steak was dry, chewy and tasteless. My daughter's filet was well done. All steaks were ordered medium. Boyfriends was okay. We would've complained but it took over an hour to get our food and we were one of 4 tables in the place, us being the second to arrive. No bread, no soup or salad. Our baked potatoes were big and would've been great, but the butter was tasteless. I asked who I think was a manager or owner what the deal was, is this unsalted butter? He said yes, they're trying to be like the high quality Chicago restaurants and they didn't want to clutter up the tables. I've never been to one with unsalted butter. That would've been overcome if there was salt on the table. We had to ask the waitress to bring it out, she puts it on your food, then leaves with it. Apparently it wasn't coming out because our potatoes were still unsalted and tasteless. We try a lot of restaurants and for the prices and the quality of steaks, won't be going back for quite some time, if ever. The waitress was nice, but didn't check on us much. Was hard to get a refill of soda. We did have cocktails as well. Those were okay. Seems like Chicago prices, lack of salt, pepper, soup, salad, bread, taste.....oh and to top it off, after waiting an hour, our food wasn't hot at all. It was barely lukewarm. We were wondering how long it was sitting in back before they brought it out. I'm glad a lot of people had good experiences. I wish we did :o( read more

Our server was different. She kind of got into your space did not like that very touchy feeling the food was very good but it took a long time to get the place is very cramped and small but nice the prices on the steaks and the seafood were a little high for a small restaurant like this, same with the drinks specially for a small town called Antioch read more

We absolutely adore this restaurant. We've been here many times and ALWAYS had delicious food and wonderful service. The steaks are amazing!

My wife and I came here for dinner on Sunday during our short visit to Antioch. What a great find! The restaurant opened in May 2024 and the decor and general ambiance was clean and modern without being pretentious. Our server, Darren, was really excellent. Very knowledgeable about the menu. As the restaurant is a steakhouse I had intended to have a steak but, thanks to Darren's suggestion, I decided to go with the Chilean Sea Bass. So glad I did, it was absolutely delicious. My wife was also feeling adventurous and had the Chili-Coffee Crusted Pork which turned out to be another great choice. We finished off the meal with Creme Brulée which came with a couple of yummy raisin cookies. Overall, I'd highly recommend this restaurant and would certainly revisit next time we're in the area. read more

Some restaurants mature gracefully; a precious few actually get better with age. This charming, tightly packed spot--long a local favorite--has clearly entered its prime. After some time away, we returned slightly ahead of our reservation and were seated immediately at a table that allowed for effortless conversation. Yes, the space is compact and the tables closely spaced, but the room's moderate hum works in its favor: lively, never intrusive. Service on this visit was exemplary--attentive without hovering, informed without pretense, and genuinely warm. Our server guided us through the menu with seasoned confidence, and his recommendations were both thoughtful and impeccably accurate. The cocktail program impressed as well, not only for its craftsmanship but for its hospitality: when one drink failed to satisfy, it was whisked away and replaced without hesitation. A small gesture, and a deeply classy one. The kitchen is cooking with clarity and conviction. My ribeye arrived perfectly executed--textbook sear, well-judged seasoning, and cooked to the precise temperature requested. It is, without exaggeration, one of the best steaks I have enjoyed locally in recent memory. Accompanying it was a special potato preparation: imagine a luxurious scalloped potato, layered and compressed, then cut into thick "steak fries." Externally crisp, internally silky--an elevated, indulgent rethink of a familiar comfort. My wife's mussels, presented with Thai aromatics, were equally accomplished. She praised them with the kind of enthusiasm that only a genuinely memorable dish inspires. And the French onion soup? Quite simply the finest iteration I have encountered anywhere: deeply caramelized onions, a broth with true backbone, and a cheese crown that achieves the rare alchemy of richness without heaviness. The wine list shows a commendable sensibility, particularly in its by-the-glass program, which favors quality over breadth. Pairings were easy, and our requests for slight menu modifications were met with seamless accommodation. If there is a flaw, it lies in the cramped dimensions of the room--but in practice, service and cuisine are so strong they render the limitation almost trivial. Highly recommended. This is a restaurant confidently hitting its stride, and absolutely worth your return. read more

Needed a place to kill some time while my daughter was at rehearsal at the PM&L Theater, so I went to 15 Lakes. I could have chosen any number if downtown restaurants, BUT I'm glad I chose 15 Lakes. Tuesday was a burger special night, and I had a really good burger. Talked to Jessie the bartender and had a great cocktail and conversation. I couldn't say no to Creme Brulee for dessert as well. I teach on the Northshore of Chicago, and I know good restaurants. 15 Lakes could thrive in Glencoe, Winnetka, or Lake Forest. If you're in Antioch, seek out this quality restaurant. You'll be glad you did. read more

15 Lakes Prime Steakhouse - Alice's Tea Party Burger and a House Salad. Very tasty and very affordable. - Steakhouses Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

Updated. Stopped in for an earlier mid week dinner. This place wows us every time. My wife had a lemon ravioli type dish which was delicious. I had the wedge salad which was delicious along with their French onion soup. 30 day dry aged ribeye and sides of maque choux (sweetcorn Cajon side) which I've always wanted to try. Potato pave as well. All delicious and drinks were good as well. We love coming here and the menu is always changing which we enjoy. Can come and just have appetizers, that's a fun way to enjoy it as well. Our server was attentive and no concerns there. It's pricey but is a very high end foodie type experience we go here for date nights pretty regularly. Hidden gem in Antioch. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Heard mixed reviews with the most recent being plates were small. So, our own experience follows: Our server Dan went over the top to accommodate us. Full disclosure, our GF guest was forgotten when the wedge salad contained fried onions. BUT, it was quickly rectified and a new wedge plate appeared. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and the baked potato was awesome! Although heavy handed on salt and pepper which their quality meet didn't require. Plenty of food, much to take home. Wine list very good. Priced as you would expect at a steakhouse. Non-beef items looked great, too. Both guys loved their cocktails. We will be back. read more

Absolutely zero complaints regarding the overall food, drinks and quality. We dined here for my wife's birthday as a family of four. We ordered the meatballs appetizer and octopus appetizer. The meatballs swam in an amazing light cheesy tomato sauce that left me yearning for this dish as a full meal. My family enjoys octopus, but I don't. They offered high praise for the eight-legged delicacy. Me and our two sons each had the filet. They were cooked to a perfect medium rare, tender and robust with flavor. It's been a while since I've had a steak prepared to that kind of perfection. The side of the day was "root vegetables," which included kale, parsnip and other things I can't pronounce. Not my jam. My wife indicated that the root vegetable medley was a tad off putting and generally forgettable for the purposes of this review. I went for the carrots side and was not disappointed. Our boys had the mashed potatoes, wild rice and sautéed mushroom sides and enjoyed them with no complaints. The adults at the table indulged in the smoked old fashioned cocktails, which were pricy, but delicious. The crème brûlée complimented with soft lemon cookies were spectacular and unique. Extra points for the waitress bringing a white chocolate mousse to the table complimented with a candle so we could sing happy birthday to my wife. The ambiance of the venue is simple, yet inviting. The mirrored south wall makes the dining room feel larger than it is. The tables and chairs are uniform and give the customer the elevated feel. This is likely the most expensive restaurant in Antioch offering an eclectic variety of food options. The quality is there though, which makes spending the money for a special occasion totally worth it. read more

Finally a decent place in Antioch! Finally! Fine food without being pretentious. Loved every meal and drink so far. read more

We stopped in for lunch after hearing a high recommendation from a local. We we not disappointed! Service was phenomenal and the food couldn't be better. The menu changes often and Steve, one of the owners explained they wanted to be sure they had the freshest ingredients and kept the food experience always interesting. I would say the food is on the next level and NOT your typical restaurant fair for the area. I had the Alice's Tea Party burger and the flavors were incredible and the burger a a special beef blend ( they also own a local butcher!) that oozes flavor. It was perfectly prepared to my med rare liking. I upgraded to the truffle fries - a GREAT decision. My wife had the wedge salad (small) and it was plenty for lunch. Of course she helped me with the truffle fries and loved them. We'll be back for dinner to have their Prime Steaks. Good to have a small but high quality gastro experience nearby. It is small but has a nice vib. Reservations are strongly encouraged. read more

Small place. Good food. Steaks were cooked perfectly and high quality. Salad was Excellent. Didn't care for the vegetable medley. Waiter was on point and very helpful! The only negative was clearing my dishes after the meal. We finished, sat and talked, paid are bill and plates were still on the table. I'm sure that's not the norm. It is pricey. Food was worth it. Drinks, for the price, not so much. When you charge $15 plus the cocktail should be amazing. Watered down Old Fashion. Wine options almost all Domestic offerings. read more

Dinner with friends at this amazing restaurant. Service was outstanding. Was happy to follow our server's recommendations for a truly melt in your mouth steak. Antioch needed a place to have a special celebration. This is it ! Ask for the bartenders special dessert recommendation-a push up never tasted so good. read more

The food and service here are outstanding. The only reason we gave it 4 stars is because the furniture could use an upgrade. There are quite a few small tables, though we did not sit at one of those. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. I ordered a unique pasta dish. The cocktails were wonderful. read more

The steaks were excellent. All the food was amazing. Coming from out of state I was very impressed to enjoy such a high caliber establishment. The wait staff were very considerate and made modifications for a food sensitivity. It is slightly tight within the restaurant however once seated you don't notice the confines as much. I would definitely come back. read more

Hostess was very rude and acted with an attitude when we asked a simple question. Usually you are afforded an option with a later reservation like we can serve you at the bar or something kind / but not this lady. read more

The food is good but seating is terrible. WAY too many high-tops. The lower seating are ok but the tables are WAY too small. I tried to make a reservation but all they had was hi-top seating. Take a hint! read more

We went there for our anniversary because we heard good things about this place. We had an appetizer, small salad and our dinner. It took 45 minutes for a Tequila-Lime Chicken Leg. The chicken was lukewarm when we got it and the tequila was so overpowering that it was sickening. It tasted as if they just poured tequila on top of it. The manager never came over to see if everything was okay, although he checked with every table surrounding us and the waitress didn't asking how we liked it either, instead she asked us if we'd like dessert. I was really disappointed. I'm not looking for a response, I just want to give feedback on the experience we had. read more

We just visited the restaurant for the first time last night. We all had a steak of sorts. The steaks were beautifully cooked, tender, delicious! The Lobster tails were succulent and delicious! We had the meatballs for an appetizer, and we wanted more! For dessert, we shared the Creme Brule and the chocolate cookie. Just wonderful! I also had a grasshopper drink...It was probably one of the best I have ever drank! perfectly blended, perfect thickness! Just spectacular! We will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful experience and great service! read more

Went with a group of friends for dinner and absolutely everything was PERFECT. It was easy to make reservations, they were ready for us, and service was absolutely flawless. The staff was so very friendly and we wanted for nothing. The FOOD was incredible, as well! We had a variety of different entrees and absolutely everyone loved everything they had, sides included. We split the burrata as an app and that was fabulous as well. Gorgeous little place with such awesome variety! This will be the new go-to place for us. read more

First time and we will be back. Excellent service- Madeline rocked. Very good food and ambiance. One of the better restaurants in town hands down. Nice job Antioch. read more

I've been wanting to write a review since I visited but never got to it. Let's just say it was a memorable experience--and not in a good way. People have recommended this place and I just don't see why. Perhaps I should give it a second chance. My fiancée & I dined in on 6/30/2024. When booking a reservation online, it had asked us if we were celebrating anything, and we were! Our anniversary, as well as my birthday. Even though it was in the reservation, there was no mention of it from our server, nor did our server ask if we were celebrating anything. It was quite disappointing. We ordered boiled shrimp as an appetizer and I could not even take more than a couple bites. It tasted like it was microwaved, chewy and under seasoned. I tried putting a bunch of lemon on it (which we had to ask for) and to no avail, still absolutely horrible. Then I ordered a Caesar salad, my fiancée got the French onion soup. How do you mess up a Caesar salad? I had to add an immense amount of salt & pepper to even taste anything. I never add salt to a Caesar, considering the anchovies usually are enough. The soup was severely sweet, and just a weird flavor. The best part of the meal (thank God) were the steaks. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were spot-on on flavor, but unfortunately my appetite just wasn't there after so many disappointments. The drinks basically saved the dinner--Lord knows I needed a lot of them to even remotely enjoy this dinner. The tables are so incredibly close together, it felt quiet & awkward, like everyone in the restaurant could hear our conversation. Our server was okay, very reserved and just kind of resembled an order-taker rather than giving exceptional service. At the end, our bill was over $300 not including tip and when I say that was one of the worst dinners I ever had, I'm not exaggerating in the slightest. read more
