The 252 - Seneca

Bartender seemed new but kept up well. Waitress were busy but smiling! Didn't eat this time Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

My favorite eatery in the area. Fantastic service and delicious food. I've never before had such perfect tater tots. I'm not sure which magician is running the fryer, but they make the best most crispiest delicious appetizers I've EVER had. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

The restaurant offers excellent service and stunning views of the Illinois River and Spring Brook Marina. We appreciated the ambiance of dining on the second floor with a view of everything below. The food is tasty, though not exceptional. It's a great spot for a leisurely lunch, with prices ranging from $10 to $20 per person.

We were happy to discover this restaurant. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and had the place all to ourselves. The food was fresh and hot! I ordered the patty melt and my husband had a burger. We also tried one of the specialty drinks, but I didn't really like it and they forgot to add the fruit, which was a big part of why I ordered it. Despite that, the view and the hot food made the experience worthwhile.

The waiter was friendly and the prices were reasonable. The view of the lake is amazing. However, I have doubts about the chef's knowledge of smash burgers and seasoning ground beef. Overall, the dining experience for lunch was okay. The price per person ranged from $10 to $20. The food was rated a 2, service a 5, and atmosphere a 4. I recommend trying the Tater Tots.
