This place was awesome! I was really surprised that there were only a people seated. I got the Cornish Hen and absolutely loved it! The service was also really good. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I don't know why I waited so long to try this place. The interior is so much nicer than I thought it would be. Warm, inviting, and great service from the get go. Was a little disappointed that the fixed price menu is no longer, boo. Mushroom Julienne appetizer was amazing and really took us back to our trip to Russia. Beef Stroganoff was ok, mine was better on the mashed potatoes (totally homemade & yummy) vs. the egg noodles, but the sauce was a little lacking. Lots of things on the menu looked great and the prices were reasonable - I will definitely be back. read more

Huh? I'm embarrassed to be here right now. It's all seniors and bad music. I am experiencing negative satisfaction. Food is overpriced and just not good. I think my cheese sandwiches are on par with their lamb chops, to give you an idea. Waitstaff is friendly, but I'm here to eat. read more

Pavilion Restaurant-Northbrook is a warm place, with good food and wonderful service.

Tried twice to redeem a coupon and is closed to general admission due to private parties.

Love this place! Chic, tasteful, beautiful decor. The staff is super professional. The food is delicious and there is a fine variety. It's perfect for lunch/dinner AND private events. read more

We went with a group of 6, and tried lots of entrees and appetizers. We all loved everything! Nothing bad to say about the food or the service, it exceeded our expectations. The decor was ok, but didn't match the quality of food or the price. We were the only ones there, which is a shame because the food was excellent. They bring out delicious, fresh bread, hot from the oven, with soft butter (I hate places with hard butter). The asian skirt steak and romanoff beef stew got rave reviews, as did the julienne mushrooms and caprese tower appetizers. read more

My husband and I celebrated Valentines Day here. For the prices charged I expected exceptional food. My filet mignon which cost $30 was tough! The ambiance is weird. What are they going for? I will say that our server was nice and that is the only positive thing I can offer. read more

This is a hidden gem. Wonder European experience. The menu is extensive and includes all the classics. The beef stroganoff was excellent. Not to mention the borscht. Service was truly European and professional. A great value for the money. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely will be returning to do more taste testing! read more

The Pavillion in Northbrook, IL. offers excellent food. Their mushroom soup is the best . My companion had Beef Strogonff and I had Sea Bass. Both were of excellent quality and the salad is generous with veggies. I have been there for both dinner and will take a guest there today. Try it! Marlene T. read more

So this experience is why I made a yelp account and this is my first review ever. I got a gift card for this place at work. I decided to get carry out to eat at home with the boyfriend and watch Netflix. (don't judge) They forgot to put some of my food in the bag so I called in and I spoke to Amy. Wow. Is what I can say. The restaurant was unfortunately closing, she asked where I lived and it was close to her house. She told me she would drop the food off. She is now on her way and I cannot believe she was so polite, kind and doing something which only a small group of people does which is GO OUT of her way to deliver my food on a Friday night. She's awesome and so is the food! I am beyond pleased. I thank Amy and I also recommend this place! read more

Pavillion is one (if not the best) restaurant I have went to in the suburban area. As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere uplifted me and I could smell the aroma of the spectacular food as I took my seat. I was with a party of 5 and instantaneously, just by their facial expressions, I knew we were coming back. The restaurant looked beautiful and elegant inside and the staff greeted us right away. There was plenty to choose from and the menu contained dishes that I could right away taste just by reading the description. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to not only enjoy good food, but at a good price! Not only that, the atmosphere is very cozy yet modern! Please, don't listen to negative needy people! Give it a try yourself, I guarantee that you will enjoy it, 100%!! read more

Great food & Service! Went here on a Groupon That allowed 1 appetizer, 2 entrees & 2 glasses of wine. Had the Beef Carpaccio appetizer - a HUGE serving of beef over a large batch of mixed greens. The balsamic reduction was fabulous! I ordered the Lamb Chops. Cooked perfectly with a wonderful sauce, baby baked potatoes & asparagus. Brought 2 home as the portions were quite large. My companion wasn't drinking, so our waiter happily substituted the great borscht. The Chilean Sea Bass was also perfectly cooked and another large serving, along with their amazing beet chips & grilled veggies. This was a repeat visit. The menu has certainly changed for the better and the indication is that it will change again. Each time we have been here, the food has been memorable and we'll certainly be back! read more

stay away from this place, the server was called over when they failed to give one of the four people at the table a side of rice. When asked about such rather than to say I will get you the some she demanded that was on the plate and became belligerent with the table, insistent that it was on the plate when she brought over....not sign on the plate of it ever being there. She then failed to bring us our soft drinks and coffee. The other servers came rather than trying to resolve this joined in defending her. Later after we finished our lunch without the rice ever appearing we were in a post lunch conversation when the General Manager came over and instead of apologizing for her employees rudeness she attack us and said she has been my employee for 10 years and we were rude to this employee and that she will call the police if we don't leave the restaurant now. We left the cash for the amount of the check and no tip which resulted in the general manager and server demanding a tip. We responded to both with the best tip is both of you should learn to treat customers with respect in the same manner which you want to be treated. All of the 4 were retired professionals in our early 70s and we all agreed that we have never ever been confronted like this in any restaurant. We each eat out 4-7 times a week so we know what good service is and how to respect both good service and the occasional mistake that all restaurants occasionally make tell your friend to look elsewhere to dine THIS REVIEW IS NOT FROM SAN FRAN BUT FROM NORTHBROOK IL read more

Went here on a groupon and found it to be one of the worst restaurants i've been to in along time. The decor is completery unappealing and should have been a clue to leave. The food is poorly prepared and tastes, awful along with being over priced. The restaurant appears to be more of club for friends of the management than a public restaurant. I cannot emphasize how bad this place is. read more

I love this restaurant. It has become one of my favorite go to places to eat. The specials, entrees, soups and desserts are fantastic! Gotta try the Napoleon! I have found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and will go the extra mile to make things right!! I love the fact that when I am in a rush, they bend over backward to get me in and out quickly! read more

We went to this restaurant after reading a favorable review in the Wilmette Beacon. The reporters either are relatives of the owners, or they were on drugs. Although the restaurant bills itself as Eastern European, there were very few Eastern European dishes on the menu. We were one of three parties in the restaurant, and there were four waiters/bar staff milling about and chatting with each other. Nevertheless, the service was terrible. They did not have the wine we ordered. Our waiter forgot to serve our appetizer even after we reminded him about it. Borscht was tasteless. Lamb chops were delicious, but not served as pictured on the restaurant's website. Bread was stale, as were dessert pastries. Atmosphere is bizarre, with extremely bright lighting and weird loud music. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

My husband took me here for my birthday and we had a pleasant dinner. We ordered the blini appetizers and borscht, both delicious. For entrees he had whitefish and I had the stroganoff, both of which we'd order again. Service was attentive and the chef offered us a free dessert for our special occasion. We chose apple tart which came embellished with swirls of raspberry coulis and ice cream. The stereo speakers were great, almost like having the musicians in the room with us. We're glad we discovered Pavilion and intend to return. read more

Great value, good food This is an under looked restaurant. Its easy to get a seat and the portions are good and hearty.

Love it. Been here a couple of times with Hubby for date night and went to the Buffalo Grove location for Valentines Day. Never disappointed. Food is always fresh and full of flavor. Lamb Chops are to die for...think I dreamed about them for three nights straight. Will definitely be back over and over again. I'm a fan. read more

My husband and I went to the Sunday Brunch yesterday at the Pavilion. I thought it was going to be better, but we were disappointed. The mimosas were warm and the food wasn't very good at all. We both didn't feel well the rest of the day either. Will not be going back. read more

I really like this restaurant and go there about twice a month. The food, service, price are wonderful and they even have entertainment on week ends. I only went to the Pavillion in Buffalo Grove, but I imagine the Pavillion in Northbrook would be just as good. It is a real find. Rte 83, just north of Lake Cook Road. read more

Bought a groupon for this and was not impressed. Service was good but the food was very salty and nothing special. I would not be returning, even with the groupon deal. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times in the past and it was great. Went there again yesterday and it was awful. Starting with the fact that the waiter was not very nice ending with food that was cold and tasted like it was cooked months ago and frozen then warmed up. The prices were outrageous for the amount of food you get. They used to be so much better. What a shame. I had to ask the waiter for items that came with my meal according to the menu and he seemed less than pleased ( I was not asking for anything outside of what was listed in the menu that came with my food) at one point he snapped at a guest at the table. It was not even busy and he seemed less than pleased to serve us. read more

I've been there for lunch and dinner several times. I'm impressed at the quality of food and the lovely restaurant. I particularly liked that they serve kasha as a side dish with dinner. It took me back to my grandmother's cooking style. I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

We loved this place. Ambiance was classy&comfortable and the staff were friendly, prompt and polite. The rack of lamb was tender, flavorful, and a delight. My husband adored his beef stroganoff, and my sons loved their cornish hen&tilapia..Dessert of creme brulee, was a perfect end to a great night,..We will be back! read more

We were greeted by the hostess who took our drink orders right away. They promptly brought out the beverage and bread, then it went downhill from there. I ordered the lobster fettuccine with the lemon butter sauce. You had the choice of an alfredo sauce or lemon butter sauce. After about 15 the water comes out and says we don't fettuccine we made ravioli instead, you want that instead? I told them no so they brought me another menu. Why would they wait so long to inform me they did not have what I ordered and why would they prepare another dish without asking me first? :( They had a seafood linguini so I as If they could bring me the lobster fettuccine with lemon butter sauce on the linguini noodles instead, they said yes. Roughly another 10-15 min pass and they bring out my wife's food and a plate of seafood linguini not what I ordered. I inform the waiter that it was not what I had ordered, to which he replied are you sure. :( he apologised, then took my order again to which I repeated again to try and prevent another mistake that I wanted the lobster fettuccine with the lemon butter sauce but since they did not have fettuccine noodles serve it with linguini noodles. back to the kitchen, he went again, mind you not one of these times did he ever write anything down. During all this, it was only me and my wife, and 2 parties of 4 that came in after us ate and left before I received my food. Now my wife is done with her food and they finally bring out my food. It looks correct so I start to eat but realise they had put the alfredo sauce on it and not the lemon butter sauce. Again I bring it up to who I believe was the manager this time who then tells me no that is the lemon butter sauce. So basically lies to me. I have eaten alfredo sauce enough to know what it tastes like. However, we had been there now more than an hour my wife was finished with her meal for quite some time now and I was seeing red over the whole experience. I just excepted the mistake again ate the meal so we could get out of there. They did at least take my meal off of the bill. We will never return to this establishment. read more

If you are looking for a romantic evening out, this is not the restaurant to choose - the overhead lighting is bright, the room is a bit stark, and the tables are pretty plain. But, if you're looking for authentic Eastern European cuisine, well-prepared and tasty, then this is the place to go. My wife started with a Ukrainian Salad, which came in a deep bowl, with tomatoes, cucumbers and radishes, in a deliciously refreshing sour cream dressing garnished with dill - and the serving size was huge. I had the Russian-style fish soup, with salmon and sturgeon, with chopped leeks in a nice broth. My main course was Pozharskie chicken cutlets, two fried chopped chicken patties with a 'jumbo' breadcrumb coating, mashed potatoes and a spicy red dipping sauce. My wife had Chicken Marsala with red cabbage. We loved the food - and the fact that the family sitting near us were speaking Russian and enjoying their food as well was a good sign of its authenticity. read more

We celebrated a private kid's birthday event here. It was a lunch buffet style party. Overall great ambience, service and good food. They were accommodating of all our requests. We had kids and adults enjoy the event equally. We loved the food so much which was portioned in smaller quantities and many were wanting more, plus it was so yum. read more

It was the worst experience I've ever had ,we had a wedding there and the manager'' Lady ''was drunk during the wedding time noting was coordinated as we talked and expected. If you plan a wedding at Petergof-Pavilion be very careful you will pay tons of money and the services are less of expectation.It seemed like they where drunk. read more

I was happy with the manager and waitress. They fully served me to be able to pick up my order even at closing time. I recommend this restaurant with great confidence. Thanks. read more

Ran out of food on Mother's Day! And the manager's excuse - we had big groups! No kidding - what would a restaurant expect on Mother's Day! At least if we were informed at the beginning of the evening that they were short some items, it would not have been such an issue. But we were told they had a specific entree, waited 30 minutes, and then the waitress returned to tell us they were out. The manager had come by earlier with the dessert menus. We told her that we had not yet received our entrees. She said she would go back and check with the kitchen but never made the effort. After sitting for 1 hour 15 minutes and not getting our entree, when we were told they were out of the turkey my husband ordered, we asked for the check. Rather than offering to deduct one of the $18 entrees, the manager tried to give us a "coupon" for 2 for 1 entrees for next time. Sorry, there won't be a "next time." read more

Visited last year, but forgot to post this review. Meals and service were below average. Significantly, the Pavilion Restaurant employee insisted that a party of 2 was required to pay a 19% gratuity with the use of the "restaurant.com" coupon. While the restaurant.com website stated that there were additional requirements imposed by the restaurant, stating specifically that a check exceeding $50 was required with the coupons use, it did not state that a 19% gratuity would be charged with its use by any size party. Neither did the menu clearly state that such "gratuity" would be charged with the use of the coupon. The menu did state that a party of 6 would be charged that amount of gratuity. The charge by the restaurant cannot be properly described as a gratuity since it is not at the discretion of the customer. It is what has previously been called a "cover charge" under different circumstances, although it could be described as an intentional overcharge. After a long wait it was finally removed from the check. It is what obviously contributed to a very poor dinner experience with my wife. read more

There were six of us for dinner on a Sunday night. We came in at 6:30 and were the only ones there. That didn't seem like a good sign. Eventually there was one other table filled. We skipped drinks; note that this is definitely not the place for good beer. We shared grilled Caesar salads and everyone thought they were very good. Entrees, however, were another story. Seafood linguine went back (and we were not charged for it). The seafood was tough and my father-in-law had not realized just how creamy the lemon butter cream sauce would be. It really wasn't much different from al fredo. The beef stroganoff was a generous portion but nothing special. My trout was good but a bit overdone. Most entrees come with two sides. My red roasted potatoes were tasty but salty. Asparagus was good. The server forgot to ask whether my sister-in-law wanted her lobster tail grilled or steamed. I think it was served steamed. In either event, she said it was just ok. She ordered borscht for one of her sides and complained that the menu said it would have chicken in it and it did not. The skirt steak was also just ok Dessert, however, was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the tiramisu and lava cake. read more
