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

When we walked in, we were instantly greeted by a friendly host, she was great. Ordered some apps, they were fine. Got some steaks, the Ribeye was mediocre especially for the price. Unfortunately it was not tender, and the mashed potatoes … More

I can't believe we have such a great steakhouse in Highland Park now. We were there as a group of 6 that ordered steaks, burgers and veggie sides and the chef nailed it all. The skirt steak was incredible. Probably the best I had. My … 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
