    Shrimp Salad
    Scott C.

    My server was very sweet and attentive. The food came out very quickly. The food was excellent. I got the shrimp salad and it was fresh and delicious. I recommend this local joint for some quality Mexican seafood.

    Seafood boil with crab, prongs, and sausage!

    Great food. Very large menu. Take your time to review. Not your ordinary Mexican food. Great seafood. Worth the trip

    So glad Waukegan finally has a solid sea food boil restaurant that locals don't need to travel to…read moreChicago for! Family & Crab is conveniently located right off Grand Ave and has been beautifully renovated to a modern restaurant with a seafood theme. We visited right when the restaurant opened and the place was super clean. Since we were there to celebrate a birthday, we ordered one of the family platters consisting of crab legs, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. For a party of six we had more than enough food. We easily could've had two more people with us for a platter this size. The sauce was delicious as well and ranges in spice level. I will say that the seasoning was quite heavy so it was a bit on the saltier side while I prefer a heavy garlic flavor, but overall nothing to complain about. The kitchen seemed to be very accommodating so if you just told them how you prefer your sauce and seasoning I'm sure it won't be an issue. We also ordered the fried oysters as an appetizer and a simple veggie fried rice to go with the boil. The fried oysters were perfectly crisp and came out hot. I will say that the breading is more flaky, kind of like a tempura. The oyster itself was not overcooked or chewy either. Service was wonderful and super helpful at explaining the menu and what was recommended. She even brought us a complimentary cheesecake slice for the birthday celebrant. Overall, this was a great experience and I highly recommend for anyone craving seafood boil in the area to save yourself the drive and come here!

    This is my second time going, and it's been open for a while now. Quality is still good and fresh…read moreand def recommend still! Service is good and there's parking on the side and the back of the building. On the and but you won't miss it!

I love the Shrimp Scampi and if you are into lamb, my foodie brother in law (a master chef in his day) stated the lamb shank is the best he has ever had - hands down. Great atmosphere with an owner who will be checking with you at your table, doing everything to ensure your meal is memorable. Worth the money - I have eaten here 20 times and I have never had anything here that is not outstanding. I have been dealing with fine dining restuarants for 46 years in the spirits business and have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the U.S. Destino's is as good as it gets - and it'sright nearby - kiddie corner from Great America. You are cheating yourself if you do not give this place a chance. Ask for Danny Legatos and tell him you read this - he will treat you like gold!!

My husband and I had a reservation on Valentine's night and it felt like our server was trying to rush us out to turn the table. Between sitting down and eating three courses we were in the restaurant for less than an hour. Our server was good though. As far as our food, it was just ok. It looked amazing, and the portions were large, but the actual flavor of the food was just a little bland. Each dish felt like it was missing something. First, they bring you out a fresh loaf of crusty bread but they don't offer any olive oil or butter to dip it in. The bruschetta was missing the balsamic drizzle and also needed more olive oil. The wedge salad was good. The pollo vesuvio was good but was a bit bland, and the short rib raviolis were also a bit lacking. We couldn't really pinpoint what was missing in our entrees, but they were both definitely lacking some sort of seasoning that would have turned them from ok to very good. For dessert we got the cannolis. Big mistake. They were the worst cannolis that I have ever had. The shells were absolutely awful- They were very hard and had a bitter, almost chemical taste. The upside was that the filling was good. This restaurant has a lot of potential with a few tweaks to some of the recipes. I'm not sure that we'll be back though, which is disappointing because I really wanted to love it.

    This was a complemtary meal from the casino for Valentine's Day. Also our first time at the…read morerestaurant. We normally go in the morning and everything is closed. Our ressie was for 9 and the gentleman was able to get us into high tops near the bar which was appreciated. However, we felt ignored seated right by the kitchen. It wasnt the bartender's fault whom waited on us,( she was bartending ) but whomever was to bring out the dishes to us. They brought us a second salad but we said we were waiting for our Mains. We waited, and waited, and waited between courses. I am not sure if the portions were small because it was a pre fixe menu, or that's how normal portion sizes are? The appetizers of polenta, super tiny. The beet salad, also very tiny. My ravioli was decent. But my hubby s steak was very small. We could also hear the front of house manager scold the staff. In conclusion, I don't know if I would pay to eat here. And rum and diet was $11 and a small pour of wine $9.00.

The lobster bisque was perfect, steak, salad and dessert were 2) service was first class all the way. Our waitress Elizangela was attentive and had a great personality. 3) cocktails were so good. We talked about doing this as monthly or every other month trip to American Place for date night instead of Vegas. Because this was an absolute amazing experience.
