Top 5 Seafood Markets in Illinois

2709 Pfingsten Rd, Glenview, IL 60026, United States

“Have been going here regularly for about 5 years. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants, but this is the best restaurant in Chicagoland! The food is fresh and great quality. Sushi is delicious. Soup is delicious. Appetizers are delicious. Green tea ice cream is very good! It’s pricey, but worth it! The booth sitting is the best. Sometimes takes a long time for the waiter to come and food does take a little while, because they’re usually very busy. Definitely need to make a reservation”

“Our server Brittany was 5 stars 🤩, she was attentive, friendly and conversational but not intrusive. I LOVED my meal of Cajun rice & shrimp, which exceeded my expectations. We also ordered the Thursday special which included shrimp & snow crab. The special was very good as well. I had the Coronarita to drink and it was worth the price. I normally do not enjoy seafood boil places, but this one was excellent. I will definitely be back.”

“I rarely ever post about restaurant experiences but after last night, I feel I must. We’ve never been to Vault 232 but felt compelled to go after hearing many positive reviews. They did not disappoint. As another reviewer stated, it’s an industrial type of feel on the inside but it is not overly noisy like similarly designed places. For an appetizer, we started out with the trio of bruschetta which consist of one traditional, one mushroom and one squash. When our order arrived, we notice a large heaping serving on top of each toasted slice of bread. As we cut the generously sized portions in half to share, each one we tried was better than the previous one. Their menu approach is slightly unique. Sure, they have traditional menu items to order as well as sandwiches but what makes them unique is their 3 Step Fresh Catch items. You can select the type of fish and even the size of the item. Then you can select how to prepare the item and the spices and sauces desired. If you feel overwhelmed, just ask your server as they can help you decide how to best prepare and season your selection. The pricing is at market price either by the pound or the fillet. There is also a cooking fee added to your order. We were told that fresh fish arrives daily, and nothing sits around for more than a few days, so it is very reasonably priced for the quality and portion received. We shared an order of pan-sauteed 8 oz. Chilean Sea Bass with honey habanero in a white wine and butter sauce along with the fried Walleye with sauteed vegetables. The Chilean Sea bass is truly Chilean Sea Bass and not some type of imposter fish. The sea bass was cooked and seasoned so well it made us wish we had ordered a larger portion. The Walleye was also wonderfully prepared with a tasty side of vegetables. Each fresh catch item comes with a side of citrus risotto which was also excellent. Kudos to Frank, Kevin and the crew. We will be returning soon as I think they have something truly special here in Lake Zurich.”

“We tried to call 3 times to order in advance but nobody answered the phone. So we went in person and ordered the large jumbo shrimp dinner and 25 Garlic wings. The wings have zero seasoning on them. Both visually and by taste, the wings are bare. The shrimp were very over cooked and were far from jumbo. The lady said that she tried to tell us they didn’t have jumbo after we ordered, but nobody ever came to the car (where we said we’re waiting). The fries were also undercooked. Overall really disappointing that we spent over $60 on food that was very subpar. We used to love Wingz It Iz, especially this location but we won’t be back.”
