- DKDennisK1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThis was our first time at The Chocolate Sanctuary. It was all that we expected and more. We were there for the Sunday Buffet. Food was well prepared, fresh and plentiful. Our server, Griffith, did an outstanding job even though he was kept busy with a large number of diners. It saddens us that they will be closing at the end of the month.More infoThe Chocolate Sanctuary$$$$• American• Gurnee•4.4
