"Last night my friends I experienced our FIRST LAST time at Consume Bar Restaurant in Lake Zurich, IL!! I had the WORST, LOW GRADE MEAT, CUBAN SANDWICH I’ve ever had and it cost $18!! The bread wasn’t crisp french or pumpernickel bread. It was thick, flavorless Kaiser loaf!? The truffle fries tasted like they were drenched in vegetable oil w/a hint of truffle flavoring. The brown cardboard box my meal was served in soaked up some of the oil, as did the brown box my Caesar salad was served in soaked up the dressing. Our waitress Kaitlyn, asked what sides we’d like to order, without mentioning that some sides are included while others are not. When paying questioning the additional charge on our bill, Kaitlyn said, “oh I didn’t know that their was an added cost for that side order?” Kaitlyn then took our receipt to the manager who reprinted our receipt adding the side items name addition cost. We were shocked that we were charged for Kaitlyn’s error. When Kaitlyn returned w/our revised bill she said, “thank you for letting me know, so I can let customers know.” We were not there to train her on their menu. My friends Pinot Grigio was served warm, in a large clear plastic beer cup instead of a glass. Over all, It was a terrible experience we would NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!! Hopefully a new business will soon replace Consume Bar Restaurant’s location."

"I want to give this place five stars, but I can't. Let's start with the drinks. I understand you have to make a profit on the sale of alcohol. If your charge $12 for an old fashion, then it must look like a $12 old fashion and not a chunky smoothie with maraschino cherries. We order our appetizers, the Calamari appetizer was good, but it took a while for our half-shell oysters to make it on our table. I had to remember our waiter and then they showed up. The oysters tasted great, but the employee who shook them did not prepare the oysters completely. We had to remove the oysters from the actual shell itself. In this time our drinks are almost ready, the waiter does not pay attention to them and moves to his next table. At first I thought maybe it's because they're busy and short employees. Then I watch him serve another table that sat after us. They ordered appetizers and a few cocktails. Your drinks were refilled on the halfway mark. The waiter goes back to us and doesn't even check us out. I'm really tired of leaving this film and I hope it's a new waiter. Let's go to the main course, two lobster rolls and some frits. I had my fair share of lobster rolls, honestly, I never had a bland until this place. The lobster was kind of dry and some of the bits were actually hard and unusable. When we finished the waiter, we asked if we wanted to drink something. We went back politely and asked for our check. This place has all the components of a large restaurant, but they do not have the components in the right place."
