The Scene
This suburban seafood oasis caters to quiet couples and multi-generational families, with comfortable dining booths and a welcoming bar. Laden with rigging and relics, the sedate nautical atmosphere perks up with dancing to a live musical combo on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.
The Food
The moderately priced menu of traditional seafood--along with several non-seafood selections--is headlined by higher-ticket items like Australian lobster tail and king crab legs. Appetizers include clam chowder soup and a captain's platter combo, a generous starter of standard oysters Rockefeller, clams oreganotta, crisp fried calamari and smoky barbecued ribs. The signature Dover sole amandine is firm-fleshed and succulent; flounder Wellington with shrimp, scallops and spinach in phyllo pastry with lobster sauce is a richer option.

Dover Straits (Mundelein) will seve you a usually excellent meal in nice surroundings. Great deep fried jumbo shrimp. Be sure to check out the various aquariums - some very exotic fishes.

My girlfriend and I had a horrible lunch today. Not because of the service, which was prompt and courteous, but because of every other conceivable thing. In non-smoking it stunk of smoke. The salad dressings were watery. The food was bland, and the food they did season tasted horrible. It also seemed funny that not only were the guests elderly, the staff seemed to be as well. Overall, Dover is a nautical themed dining room appropriate for a nursing home.
