    Cheese Plate
    Patricia C.

    My husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at The Barn. We were greeted my the staff, very welcoming, we loved the ambiance! The light was dim, very rustic but modern vibe, we really liked it. We started off with warm bread, lobster rolls , and a cheese plate, all were delicious! I'd suggest a few more toast points and honey on the cheese plate but otherwise it was great! My husband and I shared the Tomahawk steak - the red wine demi-glacé was DELICIOUS. We ordered a side of Brussels, which were also very good. The wait staff were attentive and very helpful when making suggestions. Overall it was a great experience- we'll definitely be back!

    We were celebrating a birthday and tried this "meat-centric hideaway," a recently opened supper club in Highland Park. Hideaway is correct, as the windows are mirrored (can't look in) and the entrance is somewhat obscured and the signage is very discreet. Once you enter, it's a supper club with retro style and comfy leather seating, dark woods, rustic charm. We started with warm bread and butter with Maldon salt, shrimp zorine and a stable salad. I haven't dined at the other Barn outpost in Evanston, but I assume it's similar. The weekly specials sound delicious, and a good reason to make this a regular occasion. I haven't had a steak in a while but I indulged in the ribeye. And it was wonderful. The bonein ribeye, black angus steak, was so flavorful, cooked perfectly medium rare, and with a red wine Demi glacé and German butterball potatoes. My companion enjoyed the miso-glazed salmon with butternut squash. We also split creamed spinach with Gruyère and Pernod as well as roasted mushrooms (heavenly). It's nice to have an excellent steakhouse in this formerly empty spot. There is a Speakeasy planned (not sure if it was open yet) but these establishments bring some much needed life to downtown HP. Looking forward to a return visit and trying some specials-- Wed Chicken Pot Pie or Thursday Mafalda's Lasagna.

    We had a delicious dinner for our first date night our post baby! Our server was so kind and attentive, the ambiance was quiet and elevated and the food was delicious!! We split the crab cake which we both agreed had the best sauce. I had the filet and my husband had the NY Strip... both were cooked perfectly. The Brussels sprouts are a must!! So good!! Finished with the apple cake and it was warm and gooey, and the cinnamon ice cream was the perfect pairing!

    What a welcome treat to have a Morton's name sake back in Highland Park! I had a seat at the bar and enjoyed a delicious steak and company from the fantastic staff. Definitely a place to check out. I look forward to the opening of the speak easy soon! Kudos to all involved in the roll out.

    The food was excellent. The service was equally as great as the food and the ambiance was very cozy. Winning combination !

    Very cordial and pleasant staff. I should probably have ordered a different steak. But it was decent. I do plan to return.

For a starter my husband and I enjoyed the shrimp dejonghe...the flavor and preparation was absolutely perfect. I now know why this appears on the menu twice (as a starter and entreé). For mains my husband enjoyed the 20 oz. Prime rib, which was prepeared to perfection. I enjoyed the BBQ Marriage, half chicken and half slab of ribs (for hubby and I to share). Sides were au gratin and Greek roasted potatoes...everything was delicious. Service by Scott was amazing. He was very, cordial, thoughtful, attentive, and helpful. The ambience was on point. The crowd all seemed to be having a great time. We sat near the bar where there were tv showing sports and the lighting was perfect. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience and sure to return. Thank you Carson's for a wonderful dinner experience.

    Very disappointing experience. The ribs were extremely dry and had a noticeable day-old, off taste…read more The potato gratin was also dry and unappetizing. Charging $7 for bread is ridiculous on its own, especially when the food quality doesn't match the price. On top of that, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for a party of four, which felt excessive given the experience. When I called to address these concerns, I was placed on hold for 15 minutes and no one returned to the call. When I called back, the staff was extremely rude and told me I would have to call again. Between stale-tasting food, unreasonable charges, and poor customer service, this was not an experience I would repeat or recommend.

Their wine prices for the bottle are very reasonable with a wide selection. They only charge $20 for a corkage fee should you want to bring your own. The space is cozy so making a reservation would be advisable. My only regret was ordering the espresso martini which was really disappointing since everything else was so good. It didn't have the right foam on top and tasted really off so avoid that but their other cocktails were delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more!!

Service was also great! I ordered the Beyond Burger with "sautéed jalapeno, onion, mushroom, corn, and a light shmear of stone-ground mustard". It tasted great, and the portion size was plentiful. The menu also offered other vegan options such as the Vegetable Jambalaya (which I didn't order because it's super spicy), and the Asian Vegetable Noodle Bowl (with tofu). I would like to come back to try the bowl for sure! The decor is interesting; it made me feel like I was in the 1980s... somewhere out of town. The low ceiling was the only thing I wasn't a fan of since it made me feel a little claustrophobic. All in all, it was a great experience!

I ordered the Tinto de Verano, and it was really good. It was a bit strong and reminded me of a sangria. For tapas, we got the #21 shrimp dish, which was packed with flavor. The combination of sauces and spices paired perfectly with the shrimp. We also ordered the #35 calamari, which was equally delicious. The calamari was light and airy, and the accompanying sauces added even more flavor. We also shared the patatas bravas, which were crispy and had a nice little kick to them. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was really enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes!

    First of all, I could not make reservations because apparently they don't take it for less parties…read moreof four people. So we came here on a random Friday night to test our luck to get a table at 7 o'clock for two people. We got lucky and got to sit inside because that's where we wanted to sit although they do have sidewalk or outdoor seating as well. I thought sitting inside would be cooler, but I was wrong as all the doors and windows were open and I don't believe the AC was on at all. Well, the menu is pretty extensive. I will say that a vegetarian could definitely eat here as well as anyone else. This is our first visit here and as you can tell from the photos ordered quite a bit of food. And typical top of style the portions are pretty small, but they are meant to be shared. It was actually too much food for two people who were already hungry. Some of the standouts were definitely the meatballs and the salad salads. The jamon iberico was absolutely incredible. Not pictured was the picture of sangria we ordered. We got the rosé and to be quite honest with all of the heat. It actually watered down way too quickly. And it also came in a plastic picture, which was a bit of a turn off. The shrimp with garlic was good, but the garlic was hard to taste because it was also covered or doused in a lot of tomato base or tomato sauce. I was really looking forward to a very clear buttery or olive oil sauce that was saturated with garlic. The mushrooms were OK as well, but again too much tomato in this dish that I'm not used to. The potatoes were also very tasty and well seasoned, and the sauce on it was just right. I think this is a good option for people who want top us in the suburbs however, I will say that I hope they do some tweaking to the recipes as well so that they have something that truly makes them stand out and unique.
