Best Seasonal Restaurants in Barrington

Food and service were very good - only comment about service is that we felt a bit rushed to leave. Waiter delivered check immediately after we said we did not want dessert and came back a few times to take our payment. We were still finishing a glass of wine at the time. We had Filet which was outstanding and cooked perfectly and the Chilean Sea Bass, which we have had before and is consistently delicious.

As always the food and service was great. The reservation system needs work. We made a reservation for 6:30 and had to wait until after 7 p.m. to be seated.

Our second time eating at a CH and I’m so impressed. It has a huge menu which is often a problem but not here - everything we’ve had (in two different places) has been great and both time we had 6 people. I wish they’d continue expanding west into San Diego!!! It would be an instant hit.

Food, drinks, dessert sampler were all wonderful! Service was great. Decorations were festive. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had Christmas lunch here, so it was pretty quiet and the staff weren’t so busy. With that in mind, service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The food was excellent: pot stickers for starters, then mutton stir fry, beef fried rice and Singapore noodles. Mutton is unusual in Chicagoland but it was surprisingly good. PL8 is now in our top 2 Chinese restaurants in the NW burns.
