- RRichardChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoMy husband and I returned to North Shore Steak and Seafood restaurant for a second time and we were very pleased to have Alicia serve us again during this visit. Alicia is very attentive to her customers. She would cone periodically to check if we needed anything. We both ordered the wedge salad, steaks, augratin potatoes and a dessert. Everything was delicious! We would definitely go back to dine at the North Shore Steak and Seafood Restaurant. We would also love to have Alicia as our server once again.More infoNorth Shore Steaks and Seafood at The American Place CasinoPrice: Very Expensive• American• Waukegan•3.7
