The Village Squire (Crystal Lake)

Never been there decided to go for dinner. Had the best Rib Eye steak w/mushrooms. Loaded mashed potatoes, salad. Will definately go back again.

Went there with the family on St. Patrick's day. It was busy, but the staff was very friendly, on the ball and kept everything running smoothly. The menu had some additional "Irish" dishes and drinks to keep the St. Pat's day theme going. Our order was taken swiftly and the food arrived in a timely manner. The food was very good (Shepard's Pie, Pot Roast, Beef and cabbage,...) All in all a very enjoyable experience in a somewhat different decor. It certainly warrants future visits.

One of my favorite restaurants, The Village Squire never fails to deliver - good music, good service, good food. We had a large group, and everyone's order was perfect (there was a small problem with mine, which was promptly attended to and my meal comped). Scott was an attentive and enthusiastic server. The meals arrived together, hot and delicious. We were too stuffed to order dessert!

We've been to Village Squire twice and both times the food was good and the service was wonderful. The reason for 3 stars is because they have publicly endorsed select candidates during election season. I don't have an issue with people personally leaning one way or another, in fact, I think it's great and a hard fought liberty we all have. I do have an issue when they choose to advertise one way versus another at a business, instead of allowing all candidates to advertise. Businesses also have this liberty, but I feel it says, "we only appreciate some of the patrons in this area." So we choose to no longer frequent.

I went here for my birthday the other night. All the food was spectacular. I had saganaki (shared with the table), frozen lemonade (alcoholic), and a Reuben sandwich with a side of their clam chowder. Honestly everything was perfect. They even had live music playing.

Other things to add, it was a Friday night and we were seated the moment we got there, so no waiting. Our servers came by often to check on the table, so we never had to flag someone down. I think the only thing that want so great was how loud it was. Though, like I said before they had live music, so it was a little more busy than usual, and the music was a little louder than usual. It wasn't loud enough that I couldn't hear my servers or the person sitting next to me.

So all in all everything was great. Exceptional service and tasty food.
