We especially love coming here for New Year's Eve for the specials. The ambiance is nice anytime you come here. They've recently added lots more entrees, appetizers and drinks specials.

    We used to be Jameson regulars, but our most recent visit was likely our last visit. Quality,…read moreservice, and ambiance have all decreased as of late. Both of the last two times we've been in, I've ordered the beef Wellington special, and both times it's arrived inedibley raw. The first time this happened (celebrating our anniversary), the puff pastry appeared cooked on top but was raw underneath and the meat was still cold inside. I sent it back and asked for it to be finished. They clearly slapped the cut side of the meat on a hot pan to sear it and returned it with the puff pastry dough still raw. I opted to send it back again and just nibble on my husband's prime rib instead of having them attempt to cook the Wellington for a third time. A manager checked in on us after my husband had finished his meal and we'd already paid our bill (the server did have the Wellington removed from it). Mistakes happen, so we gave it another go. This most recent time, the puff pastry was obviously underdone when it arrived at the table (so much so that I told my husband I was pretty sure I was cutting into an uncooked steak), and when I cut into the Wellington, it was still cold and raw. Not rare. Not blue. Raw. I opted not to have them try it again after two hours of waiting, and instead ordered a simple pasta dish which was mediocre at best. Given the variability in temperature within the dish, I have a strong suspicion it may have been microwaved. My husband's steak (ordered medium rare) was barely blue, with sections he didn't eat because it was undercooked. Our appetizer (potato skins) never made it to the table, and the pasta in the chicken noodle soup was still crunchy. It was not particularly busy, but our server rarely checked on us, and we spent portions of the meal with nothing to drink. He never noticed or inquired about the appetizer. No manager ever checked in on us, even after having to send a raw meal back. What was once a staple in our restaurant rotation has found its way onto our never-again list.

    Very disappointed with the quality of this order. They explained it that a new girl made the order…read more If she was not ready, why trust her with orders just yet, without checking them? First, I ordered the individual macaroni and cheese on DoorDash, but didn't get it and they said they don't actually carry it and it's on the site because it's a corporate item and gave me a potato salad in its place which is $2 less than the mac-n-cheese. No one contacted me to let me know in advance and only explained it when I called asking for it. Second, they handed the dasher a Honey Baked Ham lunch box only, with no bag. She said the girl also messed this up and didn't bag it. It was left on my porch and when I went to get it, bugs were crawling on the box which they could easily get have gotten into. No one saw this and corrected her??!! Their response was that I needed to contact Doordash with the complaints. Third, about 30 minutes later when I went to eat the lunch, I noticed that the Broccoli Bliss salad was completely dry, so I called and spoke to the Mgr to ask what happened to the sauce and the Mgr again stated that the new girl forgot the sauce. The one good thing was the Classic Ham sandwich and the potato salad. They were still good as usual. Overall; the care taken to prepare and hand off this order was unacceptable. It was not the quality I've known them to have in the past. It's not acceptable to just blame a new person. If she is making significant mistakes, why not check for accuracy??!! Perhaps these are checks and balances to consider for future order quality. Thank you!

I ordered it through Uber eats we were all excited to have a turkey dinner but they sent me ham then Uber eats sent me two dollars back for my inconvenience G thanks Uber eats two whole dollars for a screwed up a family event. Honey baked did not inform me if they were out of turkey. They just sent me ham so that's their bad. They should have contacted me if that's the case and if it was just a screwup, then I should've gotten more than two dollars.

    My husband and I have eaten at the Crystal Lake restaurant numerous times and have enjoyed the food…read moreand service. We've also filled out the information cards provided for birthday rewards. I received a discount coupon for my birthday in the past and used it at this location for a meal. My husband recently received a discount for his birthday, so we went there for lunch. We presented the coupon to our waitress prior to ordering our food. She came back and told us the coupon was only valid at the Woodstock location as noted in the fine print. We didn't read the fine print since we assumed it would be valid where we usually dine. It was also odd because we've never even been to the Woodstock location. Being disappointed, I called the Woodstock restaurant to see if we could use the discount at Crystal Lake. The person we spoke with checked with the manger there and said they do honor coupons from other locations. She advised us to check with the manager at Crystal Lake about their policy. Our waitress checked and was told they would not honor our coupon. Since we're pretty regular customers, we were very disappointed and consider this to be poor customer service. We will most likely not be dining there in the future!

(too saucy....) and the pierogis (not enough flavor and too oily, but not at fault of kitchen staff). The menu has tons of variety too, and their specials change out so regularly i cant keep up! The drinks ive gotten there have been phenomenal so far, and the mocktails dont make you feel like youre missing out on any fun. In addition to the Food, the service is positively delightful. Our server last time i went was also the bartender, and the other staff were kind enough to step in and help him with our orders, and he himself was more than helpful enough. The interior of the resturaunt was beautiful with wonderful lighting and a very cohesive layout, but i do have two complaints: the tables are very small and the booths are very low. When you order at a tapas resturaunt, you dont really get just one or two plates at a time, and when a solid quarter of the table is being occupied by the standup menus, the water glass, and the decorative flowers, it gets crowded very quickly. Overall a 9/10. Definitely a wonderful place to go with friends, family, or even on your own!

The girls they hire to work here can be VERY rude, the food is not great, I think this is really just a place people get together and drink at so the environment isn't very relaxing.

Everything seems to be up at least 10% all over, so I can't fault them for it. I just wish income had gone up that much in a year. Again not their control. But I just can't go eating at restaurants as much. The price of 6.75 for a dog fish beer was imo kinda high and it was rather flat. The coleslaw was honestly so bad and bitter rancid tasting I had to spit it out. Honestly, not a fan of Cole slaw but this is the first I've had to 100% reject eating. The pickle I got that someone raved about, didn't look great when I turned it over The fries honestly could have been cooked a little more but were pretty good. The best part of the meal was the burger though so that sorta saved the whole experience. I sat on the patio and got good service. I appreciated that the to-go wasn't styrofoam. I had to take 1/2 the burger home. There is a 3% surcharge for using credit cards, so I was glad I brought cash, as I'm tired of getting charged for charging. Ha. Overall not bad, but could use some attention to detail.
