Best Steak Restaurants in Vernon Hills

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The setting is great, love the lighting and vibe. The food was really good. We had salad (wedge was so good), soup, steaks and lobster tail. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and veggies had so much flavor. Even dessert was great, husband enjoyed the cheesecake and the chocolate covered strawberries I had were delicious. Our server was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back.

We came up to Eddie Merlot’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my beautiful wife. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful evening with Sue & Antonio.  Eddie Merlots was as busy as I’ve ever seen it and yet the food came out on time and the service was fantastic! Sue & Antonio they never let you see them sweat!! Tim The general manager, stopped by just to make sure that our evening was meeting the standards. The hostess handed my wife, a beautiful rose, which she loved and cherished. Such a nice touch on Eddie Merlot’s part. I’m telling you you won’t go wrong if you go to Eddie Merlot’s and ask for Sue & Antonio. 

Packed on valintines day, had a reservation at 5 got sat at around 5:10. I would say pretty fast, Everyone working there was flying. Had some flowers brought to us and at every point in my meal my beverages were refilled and there wasn’t a time there wasn’t something in front of me. I had a New York something steak lol it was a little under cooked from what I asked for but who I am not to eat it. It was amazing. Nothing like being hungry getting sat immediately eating and then after immediately having a check in front of you. Idk what else you would ask for.

We enjoyed the Valentines Day menu including bison meatballs, tomato & onion salad, petite filets, mashed potatoes , & chocolate cake! All were accompanied with a California red wine blend. Note to mgr: please put that tomato, onion & blue cheese salad on the regular menu… it was a winner! All food was cooked to perfection. Our server, Stacie, did an excellent job…courteous & fun! Even though it was a busy night, the service & food did not disappoint.

What a fantastic experience. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. But not too attentive. Timing was perfect. Food was prepared to perfection. They have a selection of non-alcoholic cocktails that is nice. We went for our anniversary it was a Monday night, that was perfect because they were not super busy. We have also gone on a Friday night when they were busy, and the experience was great. (Make a reservation) I highly recommend this restaurant they care about you and your experience.
