"Not that "Fine Dining""Have been to the Reserve several times and am consistently disappointed. My family & I have been in the hospitality industry for well over 50 years so we know what to expect in a fine dining restaurant. Unfortunately they never seem to get it right, the food is most always good but the service is where it is always lacking. The servers seem not to have been properly trained for fine dining service. Instead its always been plates passed from one person to the other, not have the proper utensils, not checking on the guests and much more.  Read Less

I will admit that when my wife suggested a restaurant in a casino for our ninth wedding anniversary I was more than skeptical....  after all its Joliet, not Las Vegas or Reno.   I can safely say that I was proven very wrong in this case.  Now, I want you to understand that I very rarely give five stars out of the gate.  I will usually visit a restaurant a few times before that happens.  But I was close with the Reserve.The parking was a bit sketchy given that it is the East side of Joliet, but you can valet and that takes care of that issue.  The host (Adam) was very cordial on the phone and put us in a very nice secluded booth in the corner.  The wine list was not the greatest.... however on Wednesday the wine is 1/2 off so take that for whatever its worth.   I got a nice bottle of Justin Cab and was very  happy paying 35 for it.  We we extremely lucky to have Joan as our waitress.  She was attentive, funny and turned out to be a veritable encyclopedia of Joliet restaurants.  She has worked at some of Joliet's most long standing establishments like Al's Steakhouse and Merichkas.  She was a highlight of the evening, thanks again Joan!!Now, the food was definitely something special.   The filet pops were small... but very, very good.The highlight of the night was the bone in ribeye with the garlic crust.....  Easily in my top 5 steaks of all time.   The steak was seared to a perfect slight crust on the outside and Medium on the inside.  The Garlic Crust was a perfect compliment although I don't know if it was necessary, that's how good this steak was cooked. I will be back.... and soon.  Read Less
