Best Casual Restaurants in Wauconda

If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, this Italian steakhouse is a must-visit. I dined there on Christmas Day, and everything was perfect. The steaks were cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and expertly seasoned—while the Italian dishes were rich and authentic. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, with a festive holiday touch that made the evening special. Our waiter, Jared, truly elevated the experience. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations that we absolutely loved. His warm demeanor and impeccable service made us feel right at home. This restaurant is a gem, and Jared is a star! Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch food and service.

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor was festive. We had a great meal on Christmas Eve. We each had a sale to start with; my husband had the table side Caesar and I had a house salad. Both were fresh and delicious. For our mai meals, my husband had the cedar plank salmon. It was cooked exactly as he asked and the flavors were great. I had the miso glazed sea bass with black rice. The blend of flavors was tasty and delicious. For dessert, the Sticky toffee pudding is a must and it did not disappoint. Our server was Kevin. He was knowledgeable of the menu and very pleasant and attentive. We have dined at Region before and it was extremely special to be recognized by servers that have waited on us in the past. For a great meal with attentive service and comfortable surroundings, Region is a must.

I love CH. It’s our go-to special place. Love the amazing food and the wine. In all these years it has never failed to surprise us with its exquisite taste and quality.

Always excellent food and some good drink options!

My friends and I have been coming to Austin's for years on a monthly basis. We are very satisfied with everything about this restaurant, food, service and atmosphere. We are recognized and greeted with a friendly smile every time we go there. I recently tried the Pot Roast Cheese Wedges and they were phenomenal! You will not regret the decision to dine here.
