   This is not a knock on the restaurant which I enjoy but I made a last minute reservation and arrived 15 minutes later at 7:15 on a Monday evening only to be informed that the restaurant had closed its kitchen at 7:00. It would have been nice to know that this was happening or had happened before I arrived.

   Our meal was expertly prepared and served--tasted fantastic! Our server was helpful and amazing and didn't hover. If you want to chat over your meal, make sure to request a table far from the live music like we did.

   LIVE MUSIC Toooooo LOUD to even have a conversation! Please pull the plug on sound equipment for all performers and insist on acoustic only. The place could have nice atmosphere, but the music is deafening; therefore, reducing the overall experience to a less than average rating. Check the online noisey/loud reviews, they’re all correct. It’s past time this place makes adjustments. 129 is such a gem for Grayslake… I sure hope they listen to this simple suggestion, so customers can keep coming back.

   Excellent service and great food. The Chapin jazz quartet was a real pleasure! We’ll be back!

   Frequent customer to Center Cut, decent food and atmosphere, and like supporting our local businesses. Probably the last time we go. I received my bill and found they began to add hidden charges for use of a credit card. No communication anywhere or from the wait staff regarding this charge. This is simply fraud and the consumer would not know unless they examine the bill closely. What a poor business decision, hope the $3 mattered at the loss of a regular customer.

   Service was great and food was good but we were seated in the bar with our family (multi-generational) and the live music was much too loud. We asked if the music could be turned down, but the musician did not. We will not be back unless we bring our earplugs and don’t want to enjoy conversation.
