This steakhouse is the best around. I know my pictures don’t include a steak picture because once I got my walleye I couldn’t get away from it. It was so good, I’ve never had walleye until having it here. BEST FISH EVER!!! … More

We had dinner at The Barn last week and it absolutely met — and exceeded — expectations. We’ve always loved the Evanston location, and having this new spot closer to us means we’ll be enjoying many more dinners here. The food, service and cocktails were amazing and overall a great experience. More

Welcome back to Highland Park! What a treat to have Amy open the back up in her hometown! I had a seat at the bar and had a delicious meal. The center strip sirloin was grilled to perfection and paired wonderfully with a glass of Sangiovese. I look forward to the opening of the speak easy soon! More
