    Neighborhood watering hole running weekly specials on food and drink. Mostly locals and during the summer there is outdoor seating. Bartenders are friendly but again it's a local place.

    Food is good. I'm a big fan with their chicken wings…read more Service is good by the bartender. Ambiance is good. Weekend is live music.

    This restaurant has quietly matured over time, settling into a reliable presence that rewards…read morerepeat visits rather than chasing novelty. We have dined here on several occasions, and it does seem to improve with age, particularly as a neighborhood destination for drinks. In warmer months, the rooftop is a genuine asset--an inviting spot for a pre-dinner cocktail or a relaxed evening out. On our most recent visit, a cold evening, we were seated immediately, a welcome efficiency that set a positive tone. The dining room's very high ceilings, while attractive, do contribute to a chill during winter months, making the atmosphere less cozy than one might hope on such nights. Service, however, was attentive and efficient throughout the meal. The bar continues to be a strong point. A well-made martini impressed my wife and was fully consistent with our prior experiences here. The French onion soup stood out as a comforting and well-executed choice, particularly satisfying on a cold night. Entrées were solid and competently prepared, though ultimately unremarkable--good, but not memorable. Overall, this is a restaurant that delivers dependable food and service without striving for distinction. While the kitchen does not reach for the extraordinary, the drinks alone make it a worthwhile stop, especially when paired with the rooftop in summer or a well-crafted cocktail at the bar year-round.

    Trendy and cozy restaurant hidden off of Northwest Highway in Barrington. The best way to make sure…read moreyou get in on the weekend is either to go very early, but you're best off making a reservation. The service is amazing. Our server, Evelyn, had awesome energy. She was friendly and great at recommending dishes. The busboy (we didn't catch his name) was positive and attentive. The staff really make the spot wonderful. It's modern inside, dark paint, and updated decor. However it feels friendly with the trendy atmosphere. The way these dishes look also match the ambiance at the restaurant. We ordered lots of dishes and they mostly looked great! The Salat Roasted Beet Salad is fruity, thanks to the berries and citrus, with a pistachio whip on the bottom of the dish. It's a heavier dish for a salad, but absolutely delicious and fruity. I also had the San Francisco Style Cioppino was good, but I wasn't expecting it to be like a zupa di pesci, while the flavor was good, I was having FOMO of others eating monkfish and the walleye. The Cioppino had a Louisiana flavored sauce. There was a variety of fish which were all cooked and not overdone. It's a massive dish! We finished off with English Sticky Toffee Pudding and Italian Citrus Mascarpone Cake. The cake was amazing! It wasn't too tart and light. The sticky pudding was also delicious and very sweet. It's a very beautiful restaurant, service is great, the plates look amazing and tastes great. It's definitely a spot to try again!

    Will try again with all the good things people say about this place…read more So after all the hype. So many people have raved that this is the spot to go. I went and was underwhelmed my other friends did not have the same experience. They were more favorable. Ok to start. We got three appetizer the bacon, cauliflower, and onion soup. If i stopped with this it was great. Bacon had nice flavor and the pickle were intriguing and good., with a little kick. The cauliflower was fun and the sauce ban bang very good it had nice flavor with all the right notes only complaint was it was cold and not hot. My one friend said it was much better when they had it last time it was hot and good. I think the day we went they must have had kitchen problems I will try again at some point. The onion soup was probably my favorite thing this evening. It was so good and not over powered in any flavor note everything was perfect. So I should have stopped with this. I did have a glass of wine and it was very tasty and it tasted perfect. So if I say so this was an appetizer and maybe dessert place based on my visit. Two of us got the short ribs and one meatloaf was the three meals we chose. So my short ribs were so underwhelming I will start with the food was not hot when it came out. My meat was cooked perfectly and had a good bite to it. The down fall to my plate. The sauce had zero flavor. Maybe some salt could have helped a lil. I was expecting wonderful flavors like taste the port or any herb but it was just bland. The next was the tomato on the plate with the white cheese. The tomato had flavor but the cheese nine. When combined with the meat not a good mix. . It was almost as if it was added to put color but did not blend well with the meal. The meal was ok but again not hot. The best part of the plate was green beans had good flavor and tasty. So on to the next dish's my other friend did not have much to say about his short ribs but it was better last time he went. For the meatloaf they would comeback just for this alone. It was so good best ever. The only thing again was the sauce. Had no flavor. But I do see it was the same sauce port Demi glacé, They were thrilled with the way the beef tasted. I really want to try a dessert but after the experience I chose not to. I do think I would definitely go do appetizers and desserts again. Most restaurant guests had some dessert and it looked like they were enjoying what they got. They also seemed to have enjoyed their meals. So maybe it was just my luck. As for the waitstaff they were great kept the table clean water filled and kept the meal flowing. The server looked like maybe someone called off and was doing great. Managing all the tables with ease. The over all look and feel of the location was very well done nice and not cramped tables the had ample space that was nice The look was very welcoming. Will try again. But will he something different
