In 1954, ten prominent Dundee, Illinois area businessmen had a dream to create a private dinner club where they could unwind and enjoy the very best in food and service.
Fast forward to today – since Fall of 2020, The Anvil Club is open to the public. Our goal is to provide top-shelf drinks, menu selections, and – above all – service that leaves you with memories of your visit that last.
Fine American cuisine is on the menu at this refined, brick-walled members’ venue with a full bar. Based on 284 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $$$

Love this gem of a dinner club. Love the history, the atmosphere and the delicious food! The staff is friendly and efficient. This quickly became my favorite place to have a romantic date night, or just a nice quiet dinner with friends.

Who knew? The absolute best corn beef and cabbage I’ve ever had served in a restaurant! The generous serving of lean corn beef served over cabbage, potato and carrots, were cooked to perfection. We were served in the bar , with fantastic music and service. The ambiance, food and staff are fantastic, a great gathering place for friends or date night!

The Anvil Club is a very nice operation that used to be a private club but since the lockdown has gone more public. While they still have private wine lockers for members in the basement this location is a nice relaxing romantic place for dinner and more. We had a very nice wedding rehearsal dinner here for 12 to 15 people in one of their connecting rooms. They also had a very nice live music piano player. One suggestion most frequent diners to any location with live music will know is make requests for music after people get their food that way there’s less loud talking and more ability to hear the music I would recommend trying this out if only for drinks but the food is really good as the service.

First time at Anvil Club for my wife and I. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. Wedge salad with sharp bleu cheese, tender filet mignon…the stuffed mushrooms were amazing and the lobster bisque was extraordinary. As a 1st time diner, we were offered Brandy Ice; this was the coldest ice cream we’ve ever had and wow so delicious. Our server recommended to add the Brandy Ice to our coffee and wow, what a treat! We highly recommend the Anvil Club as a local gem. This is a must try.

The ambiance is fantastic and definitely gives you the dinner club vibes. I don’t recall the gentleman’s name, but the manager is extremely nice.

This was such a phenomenal experience. We had Mike Cohen playing guitar and singing as entertainment. He created such a relaxing atmosphere. Everything we had to eat was above our expectations and delicious from the bread to desert. We got escargot, Caesar salad, lobster bisque, ribeye steak, lobster, filet, seabass, chicken Frances, and creme brûlée. It was such a fun date night when you want to treat yourselves! Oh and the Brandy old fashions go down like nothing. They taste like candy so be careful

Our table was ready when we arrived. The staff took the time to see on our reservation we marked this as an anniversary dinner and congratulated us as we were sat. The food and cocktails were amazing and prepared perfectly. This was our first time and because of the experience we received from our server Maddie along with the entire staff we will be back.

My first visit, a long time member brought me so I got a tour and history. Beautiful place!!! A fascinating history! The service was excellent! My food was served on a nice hot plate and everything was delicious! Piano player really added to the ambiance! Loved it so much I am going back this week. As of 1/20/22 I have been back many times, still LOVE it. Thursday night Mark Miller piano is excellent! Back again Sept 9th. The chicken picatta is my favorite with potatoes instead of linguini, the kitchen is always accommodating. Back Mar 8th to see Mark Miller play piano, again excellent!
