The Chocolate Sanctuary - Gurnee

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic. We opted for the set menu special dinner club, which was a great experience. The chef even came out to explain the history and preparation of the dish, which was very interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it. However, I found the prices of the drinks to be a bit high.

This is the best brunch I've had in a long time. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the omelet station had a great variety of ingredients. The waffle station was enjoyable, with delicious berries. The salmon and shrimp were fresh, and the chocolate bread had a unique flavor. The dessert station was amazing. I also had a martini and the freshly squeezed orange juice was so refreshing. I will definitely be back.

I really enjoyed the butternut squash soup. The desserts were very good and they prepared the lamb nicely. The lamb came with a cauliflower puree that was very bitter instead of creamy. The salmon my spouse had was very fishy so I think it was slightly oldand/or overcooked because it was dry. The cocktails were delicious.

The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, but the food was very mediocre. The appetizer of fried Brussels sprouts was great, and the bread with chocolate butter was fantastic. However, the main dishes like the burger, chicken, and fish were bland and disappointing. The cake was extremely rich and indulgent, at least two steps above a flourless chocolate cake. Despite the lackluster main dishes, I still enjoyed the cake. If you decide to visit this restaurant, I would recommend sticking to drinks and appetizers for a better experience.

Went for my birthday and I loved all the food. Everything has a touch or infusion of chocolate. I loved the pot pie and of course the chocolate fountain was delish. Service, cleanliness and food was great
