Illinois Valley Yacht

I already wrote a review on this place but I have to add some things. So far this has been my favorite place. Good thing, because I got sick and we had to stay. They have a bar & restaurant, washer and dryers. Gas for a the boaters. And had been in business since 1907. A lot of history here. But the employees oh my God the employees were so so nice, made you feel like you've known them all of your life! Hey Anita you're the best, then there was Dona who just wanted to talk and get to know. Got to know a few of the members, there was Nan, (who I will never forget) who wanted to eat all my chocolate, that I got from Donna. Hi Nan! And her husband bill, who sat and talked to us about the next leg of our journey. And Pam who inquired about my health. just a bunch of wonderful people at wonderful yacht Club. Thank you all!!!

I can not express in words how absolutely amazing this place is! The staff was so helpful and went above and beyond! We had our wedding and reception there on 03.01.25! They helped us set everything up. My wife who is all about the extra, and the details were plentiful, but this staff was on it! I mean they helped set up tables with all the arrangements and everything. The catering was absolutely delicious! I just can't express my gratitude for everything they did! I put 5 stars because I can't give them a 100! God bless all of you there and again thank you Sooooo much!

My wife and I had lunch two weeks ago and last week on the deck. Beautiful view and a beautiful day. Our waitress told us the day chef did not show up today. I asked who was doing the cooking and the waitress said the restaurant manager was cooking today! The food was as bad a it gets. I took a few bites and was done. When she came over and asked how the food was I told her. We were not charged for the food so I gave her a tip that was half the cost of the food. When we came back this last week and entered the dining area a lady poked her head out the kitchen without any mask. Are you serious! Again in asking the same waitress no day chef. It simply means if you eat lunch here you are doing it without a chef! Come on guys and gals there are good chefs available with the restaurant closings and cut backs that need jobs. You can have the pick of the lot! Why not do a "Quick Flip" and hire one for the lunch crowd! This is a terrible disservice to all your members! I wonder if they did a Quick Flip and hire a true seasoned chef! There has to be at least one member of the club that knows what a Quick Flip is and can help them Quick Flip! I wonder who it is? I did send in a number of suggestions on how to improve the club as per I believe Pierre's request regarding any ideas for improvement! I hope they were taken into consideration by Commodore Jane because I feel they had merit for the club moving forward! I wonder if Pierre reviewed my suggestions and ran them by Commodore Jane. Will never find out I guess!Do you have a Chef yet?
