I ordered food for 20 people. Beautiful New York Strips, Baked Potatoes, Green Beans, and an incredibly beautiful salad, I was very impressed. Can't wait to try the Oysters Rockefeller. Got to meet the owners, who were awesome and kind. They went above and beyond to see that everything was awesome. Great Job JEN read more

My husband and I attended Easter brunch at Labas Seafood, Steak & Wine Bar for the second year in a row, and once again everything was amazing!! The food was perfectly prepared, the staff were professional, friendly, and attentive! It was a full house, and the staff did a great job and adapted well to the busy atmosphere! Highly recommend!!! read more

My friends and I had at gathering at Labas today. This is my second time visiting this restaurant. I was hoping that the experience would be better than the first visit. Boy was I wrong and disappointed. The service is slow. There were not many people dining in on Friday. It took over 35 mins to bring a salad and bread to the table. I ordered a burger well done. Not only did the cook fixed the burger well done but he burnt the damn onions and bun. It taste just like the pictures I'm including in this visit. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The service and food sucks. read more

I've been living in Monee for some time now, and I drive by this place every day. I finally took the time to visit and man was I glad! For starters, this place is a hidden gem. You wouldn't expect much out of a small town like Monee, but like the Polish restaurant a couple buildings down, this place is phenomenal. Our server Mark is such a server, we talked forever. He is a delightful man. The interior is beautifully lit at night time, it's a very cozy atmosphere with dim lighting, cozy table cloths, and a warm toned bar. I love the set up of the tables inside. They have an upstairs but they said it was closed this visit. You are able to make reservations which it seems like that happens often! The parking lot was full!!! The food was amazing, I had their special crab soup. It was hot and tasty!! The Chicken meals were out of this world, with many options of sides to choose from. I will definitely be giving my money to this restaurant again. And a special thanks to Mark "the dork" at Labas! (He'd get it) read more

This is a hidden gem! You do not even know what you are going to get when you pull into the rough parking lot until you walk through the doors. The building is unassuming and partnered with a dr office. But when you do, you will be surprised! Very nice interior and friendly staff. There is an upper level but I did not go up. I had the caesar salad and ribeye, my friend the pork chop. Salad was fresh and dressing tangy. Ribeye was flavorful and cooked to my liking. It came with mashed and green beans. Loved it. My friend enjoyed his porkchop as well. Drinks were good, although they were out of some things, probably due to a busy weekend! On the weekends, I suggest reservations as I was told it gets crowded. They also have an outside dining area for the warmer months. I am hesitant to give this a 5 star as I don't want others finding this space :) read more

Food poisoning from mediocre food! Not only was there nothing special about our meals, my husband and I both got sick a few hours later. I had the salmon, which came with a grilled peach. The peach obviously wasn't fresh as it was still partially frozen. The fish wasn't great. My husband had Cajun pasta, which was overcooked. It was probably the shrimp in his dish that made him sick. read more

I came in waiting to be seated. Finally, I was. After making the selections that I wanted on the menu, I was told that they didn't have this and they didn't have that. I wanted the oyster Rockefeller and they told me they serve the last person the ingredients for the Rockefeller oysters. It is 3:14 PM so how do you run out of something like that.? I was not given any other options. I was just told I apologize and someone is going to the store to go pick up the ingredients. I then asked how long would it be and then I will take that at the end of my meal and we'll still talk. I don't know. Do not go here find somewhere else to go. read more

The restaurant wine bar is in a chiropractics office building so it's not much to look at upon pulling into n parking lot. But enter and the décor is simple but nice. It read bar and as a neighborhood feel. Labas has an upstairs bar area and the patio is lovely. Nicely laid out with a very relaxed feel. There are even grapes growing on the foliage. Only thing missing is music. The service was rather slow but our server made sure we didn't have to wait long. We ordered cocktails and food, which she managed to serve all at the same time so we could all eat together. While everyone agreed the burger looked delicious, it was sent back for an additional cook. The Reggie didn't take long and it was returned perfect. The lobster roll was a hit! Prepared to perfection and it came with chips...literally a bag of chips. The broccoli cheese soup was lacking broccoli, it didn't contain any chunks, just bits...more like flakes of broccoli. But it was flavorful. The bruschetta was delicious, nice, crisp apple strips, soft goat cheese and bacon jam, that was just a little sweet with a hint of smoke y bacon flavor. The cocktails were actually very good, so kudos to bartender. Local residents love it; definitely an upscale neighborhood feel without being snooty. They do accept reservations but will seat walk-ins. Definitely in area, check it out read more

We came here for a little girls night out and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was beautiful, there was light music playing, but we could still talk and hear eachother. The wine flights were delicious, as was the house Malbec. Our server was very nice and made sure to accommodate my gluten free needs. I ordered the Caprese Chicken with Smashed Potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly. The other ladies ordered the Summer Salad and loved it. The portions are perfect. I do believe it is a little overpriced and there seemed to be only one server for the whole restaurant. I felt bad for her because not only did she have the entire downstairs to wait on, but a party upstairs as well. That's just too much for one person, but she got it done! And still had a smile on her face. We ended up staying over 4 hours, just talking and enjoying our night out. We will definitely be back. read more

I've eaten here about 3 or 4 times, I enjoyed my meals every time. Service was good as well

I went for lunch today and was definitely not impressed. It was so hot and muggy inside. The food was very bland. Literally no flavor at all. read more

This is one of the nicest places to have a nice lunch or dinner in Monee. The server was very sweet and attentive. The menu was very appetizing, lots of things looked good. Our cocktails were okay, the ratios were a bit off. The soup was good but too salty and the panini needed more cheese, meat and sauce. It would've been nice if the owner had come over to greet us or the staff when he came in to give it a more personal feel. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall look of the place. Plenty of parking and seating. The outdoor patio looks like it would be a great place for summer nights. read more

I had high hopes for dinner at Labas, but sadly, it was disappointing. We started with smoked salmon bruschetta. This is one slice of hearty artisanal bread, toasted, slathered with pesto, topped with a generous portion of smoked salmon, garnished with red onions and capers. The flavors of pesto and smoked salmon do not go well together. My husband had the spicy shrimp over polenta. They used jarred pepperoncini, which was sour, not spicy. There were 5 plump, but slightly overcooked shrimp swimming in a sea of diced tomatoes. I had the chicken breast, stuffed with fresh mozzarella, asparagus and tomato with a side of smashed red potatoes. It would have been ok if the chicken was not overcooked and tough. The smashed potatoes also had an odd taste, like it was prepared with veggie broth and basil oil. I will not give up on Labas, as it has a lovely atmosphere and fantastic tiramisu. I just might not go back for dinner. read more

We went to dinner with friends who had recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Very friendly and efficient server and bartender. Excellent choice of both wine and beer. Food was delicious. The women had 2 different red wine flights and the guys had beer. The ladies had salmon and the men ribeyes. We shared a delectable flourless chocolate cake for dessert. We loved the relaxed atmosphere and ambiance of this restaurant. We are looking forward to a return visit. read more

One of the best kept secrets in Monee, IL! Perfect for date night, wine flights and weekly specials. They have a super diverse menu and a modern decor with a relaxing feel. The ambience is magical. The patio is lovely and you can still social distance effectively. A 5-star environment with economical prices! Food presentation is always great. I've eaten here about 3 times now and I've never left dissatisfied. The food is good and the service is on par. The staff members are welcoming and super attentive. The owners and servers go above and beyond. They hold great conversation and always have good suggestions. This place is definitely a hidden gem! read more

Sadly, even though I strongly support local business, I cannot count this as a business that deserves any accolades. Met a friend who is also in the service industry. We understand ins-and-outs of being horridly busy or inundated with customers who all arrive simultaneously. When I arrived there were four people at the bar and even a tip of the hat to my my presence did not happen. Welcome always works. My friend had ordered a wine flight. After ten minutes I had to go to the largely vacant bar to place an order. Got that ten minutes later. I could have read War and Peace waiting. Not cool. Wanted food: ordered what ended up to be greasy street tacos. In the interim we got some chips and salsa. One would assume a napkin might be an automatic YES! Second time up to the bar. Three is a charm: tacos delivered with less than a third of a can of cat food on top (see photo). Damn things were smaller than the microwaved rice made by my mother twenty years ago. I am so mad at myself for being polite. Should have sent the stuff back. Perhaps an emergency room bill will suffice. Eager to leave I still had to go to bar to hesitantly pay the bill. It was delivered like a Walmart check. No nay never, no nay never no more (we Irish understand these lyrics). Support deserving local business. Not this embarrassment. read more

The food here was so delicious. I got the buffalo chicken wrap for lunch & my friend and I split the bruschetta appetizer. I let her try a bite of my wrap and she loved it so much, she ordered one to go for herself. She got a different dish but decided she also loved the wrap. I also tried the cheesecake with berry topping and that was also very good. The waitress was kind and professional and catered to our needs when wanting substitutes or special requests with our food. The prices are fair and it was quiet with talking from a few other parties. I read online before coming here that they automatically add a 20% tip to parties of 6+. Being I was there with one other person, I was not expecting the tip to automatically be added on to the bill. I of course would have tipped the waitress but adding gratuity to a party of 2 was unexpected, unless I missed something on the website or in the restaurant. Either way, I loved it and I know my friend does too! read more

Tried this place twice and there is nothing to return for. It was an awkwardly quiet atmosphere both times and the staff is not trained properly on service skills or food and beverage items. Staff is friendly, but slow. I ate dinner on first visit in September and my cream based pasta was extremely oily leaving me feeling heavy and gross. My starter salad also had slimy pieces of lettuce. My second visit in October, I just stopped in for a drink. The bartender was running around frantically between bar guests and patio. There was another woman there, but I guess she was on break because she was not helping and letting the bar tender sink. I sat for 10 minutes before having a drink order taken. When I ordered an espresso martini the bartender had no clue where the ingredients were so it took about another 10 minutes before I had a drink. The martini was one of the worse ones I've tasted. Espresso flavor was off and I didn't like how they used cool whip shaken as the cream. It's usually a liquor like Kahlua. My martini was bitter. Bartender obliged my request to make it sweeter but even the simple syrup couldn't mask the poor flavor of the espresso. Will not be returning or recommending. Edit: This is a delayed review for the wine bar attached to the chiropractor office. read more

Excellent food and service. Wine is delicious. Atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. Great seafood every visit.

Our first time here. Food was delicious, small quaint hidden gem. Our server Mark, was great! We'll definitely be coming back!!!

Food, wine and bourbon was perfect. Service and ambience a 10. So good and it's a hidden gem in Monee. Already planning my next trip here.

Loved the wine flight. My steak and lobster was delicious. Nice ambiance and great service.

Service was very mediocre. The bartender/server Renee had six or seven tables plus the bar, running food, and making drinks. We were celebrating a special occasion and spent around $250. She made some really great drinks but she barely took our order for oysters, surf and turf, scallop entree, and drinks. We sat for a while. She was bragging about how she told the owner not to come in because she could handle it to a table near us. When we had our soups she pulled mine out of my way before I was even finished. We were rotating plates for the scallops and filet and lobster and she only brought one drink and forgot one of the other drinks. She ended up coming around for the end and we ordered one more round and she threw the check at me instead of passing it to my husband. We noticed there was no itemized receipt and so we couldn't determine if she put the sangria we didn't receive on the tab so I asked her about it along with the gratuity tab which is unusual because that's normally something that is added to seven plus people. She became really hostile... I told her I understood if that was the way they choose to add gratuity. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing time due to the service. The soups were great, the drinks we received were great. The filet was tender but under seasoned, Renee ran away before we could ask for an extra steak knife but if she knew or cared she would have given us an extra steak knife or checked in at all. She didn't do it once...honestly pretty disappointing to spend a fair amount of money and have someone not care what so ever. Thanks but we will just go to the city or Long Branch, Solitt Tap,Etc. There are so many places with wonderful hospitality staff that care that don't break the bank. We shouldn't be begging for your common decency. read more

I absolutely enjoyed this venue for my boyfriend's birthday. He's a laid back guy so he was glad that they didn't sing to him or anything like that. He would be embarrassed. He ordered something simple cheeseburger and fries whereas I wanted to explore. I wanted a chicken dish so I ordered the Chicken caprese. It looked delicious. However, one bite, two bites it was clear I didn't like it. The chicken was very dry. Therefore, I ended up eating what my boyfriend had. Otherwise, great service, kind server. Wonderful wine choice for me and a great birthday dinner for my guy. We will return again..we just won't have chicken. read more

Oh my sweet L! She is a long distance trucker and I picked her up close to here as she parked her truck. We had novel, tasty, delightful cuisine. Small space go early, we arrived at 5 on Saturday night and had plans to eat and blow out of there (looks like small diner outside). Service was slow we started to talk and left about 2 hrs and missed our other engagement. We cannot wait to return. read more

Cute place! Dined with a friend here for lunch and had several entrees. The food and cocktails weren't phenomenal, but it wasn't bad. Service was amazing! I'd stop back in if I'm the area and wanted a drink and apps, but maybe not for a meal. While the food wasn't my most favorite, overall my impression was positive and I'd return, read more

Went there for my 2nd time tonight...thought I'd give it another shot. Went there Friday 9/11, service was slower than it should be, food was decent...but told myself I'd go back just know what to not order next time Went back again Wednesday 9/16 with my family. Server (Justin) was great the other service that happens behind the person actually taking your order was horrible. We arrived at 6pm ordered drinks, an app and my sons dinner (yes they have a kids menu); that took about 30 mins to come out...once the app came out we ordered the rest of our food. We had to ask at 730 where our food was, then just asked for the bill as it's now an hour and a half after we got there (not to mention a table of 8 ppl who arrived after us were getting fully served all night). Food was shortly brought out after that uncooked and incorrect. The server said he was taking all the food off the bill as he kept asking where our food was but got no answers. We had to go inside to get the check to find out the food was all on there and the management didn't care there was an issue. Unfortunately will not be returning read more

When you pull in and park you look at this place and kind of pause for a minute....... When you walk in the door and are greeted by the friendliest servers ever....... Your not in Kansas anymore. Do not judge a book by its cover. The inside of this amazing place is like any high end restaurant in Chicago or New York. read more

I'm torn on this place. I really think it can be great. My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday for lunch. It was really empty. There was someone behind the bar and that was all. The server/hostess/bartender was a really nice guy. One of my problems was he brought us a pitcher of water that had some sort of dirty disgusting thing in it. Even he was grossed out when we brought it to his attention. Another sanitary issue, we ordered drinks and I notice while he was making them he walked away from the bar to a cabinet that is near the back door/patio area. The bottom of the cabinet doors are blocked by a carpet. He without gloves hands picks the corner of the carpet up and moves it. He then returns to making the drinks - he did not wash his hands, he did not put gloves on. That grossed me out. Mind you, he is handling garnishes and squeezing lemons and likes into our drinks. On to the food, my boyfriend had fish chowder which he loved. He has a wheat allergy so it was the first time in a long time he was able to have a chowder. Also, he had a salad. It was pretty sizable and he had no complaints. I had a burger, it was so incredibly salty and not cooked to the correct temperature. The polenta fries were good though I wished they put the sauce on the side. The dessert was okay. But my entire meal I was just so grossed out that this man handling trash, carpets and whatever else had not washed his hands. THIS is precisely why one man does not do it all in a restaurant. read more

A cute place, but too overpriced. $15 bottles of wine are sold for almost double or triple the original retail price. Not only the wine, but the price for food is also excessive. Not really worth trying unless you go on Sundays. 15 bottomless mimosas :) read more

One Server working the whole place and the bartender was little to no help. Our f&b took so long to get to the table. No explanation of the cheese and meat platter. Just dropped off at the table. Food was good but very overpriced. We ordered cappuccinos only to have the Server shake her head walking away. This place needs help to survive and Server training. read more

Had a bad experience there today,server was slow food was mix match up, when I finally got it the soup was not up to par the only thing that was good on the plate was the pickles, the rest of my party experience the same issue we barely ate any of the food. Definitely don't recommend this place read more

This restaurant has beautiful ambience. This was my 1st time coming here and they were under staffed, luckily we were not in a hurry. The waitress was very pleasant! The food was a complete disappointment. I had the salmon salad and it was cold smoked salmon out of a packet on a bed of spring mix saturated in balsamic dressing. My husband had the sliders. They were so dry. There was nothing on the bread. It was just a dry white bun. The food selection was very small. We would go back for drinks again. Definitely would not recommend this restaurant for dinner. read more
