10 Best Wine Bars near South Barrington

“We visited this Ruth's Chris for a birthday meal for my wife. From a great very comfortably quiet booth table in the far corner, to our knowledgeable server, Kara, to a great filet/shrimp dinner, we totally enjoyed our visit and will definitely return.“

“I had the best steak I've ever tasted here for my birthday dinner. Everything was excellent. We had prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, au gratin potatoes, asparagus, I had the sliced tenderloin and my husband had the bone-in tenderloin. It was all amazing.“

“Everything was wonderful, as usual. But our waiter, Nico, was fantastic! He gave us time to settle in and talk some with friends we hadn't seen for a while and then took our orders, made sure everything was right and checked back several times to fill glasses and be sure everything went well. Top notch service!“

“Gigi holds such a special place in our hearts! The night my fiancè proposed we came here to celebrate! He called ahead and told them what we were celebrating and they went above and beyond to make it special! Flash forward a few months we came back to celebrate 5 months until our wedding and AGAIN the staff here made us feel so special! We had THE best food and drinks and the staff was amazing! Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“HUGE HEADS UP: If you bring cake to the restaurant you will be charged a "cake cutting fee" of $2.50 PER PERSON. I'm not sure what happened in the past for this unreasonable fee to exist, but you need to advertise this on your website and restaurant entrance. Being told on the spot with your group and cake is not useful. As much as I love this place, I would not have come in if I knew this beforehand. My family and I brought our own paper plates and cutlery too. I understand if there was a reasonable fee for bringing out extra plates and using fridge storage, but we essentially paid $25.00 to store our ice cream cake in a freezer and have one knife brought to us. On top of an automatic 20% gratuity for 8+ people (which is advertised at the entrance, so no complaints there).Our waiter was very kind and attentive. We appreciated him and the delicious food. I am just asking for more transparency because paying $25 extra for that is ridiculous. Start posting this information so your customers can make informed choices x“

“Way beyond all expectations. Delicious, delicious, delicious. Finally a new sceneof beer in the area. Well thought out brew and beverege, great crew behind the product. Knowledgeable, creative and humble. Absolutely great things currently and to come. Stay on the look out as Sundial will surely be all over Chicagoland. ?“

“The food is amazing. The house salad has a unique lemon oil dressing. So simple and refreshing. The neopolitan style pizza is the best in the area. Love the modern ambiance inside. Plus they have covered outdoor seating on their patio in the summer. Highly recommend if you are in the area.“

“Came to Lucia Rose for the Tuesday Martini special and to check out a newer Addison addition. I've passed by Lucia Rose a number of times and was happy I was finally able to dine here. The inside is beautifully designed with the bar and open kitchen being the focal points. There are also so many windows for great natural light and there appears to be a patio available for when the weather gets nicer. Who doesn't love a good weekday martini but for $8!? One cannot go wrong. There was a total of (6) options included in the special. I tried both the Pomegranate and Elderflower Empress. They were perfectly balanced and not overly spirit forward/strong which was nice. To start, we got the Grilled Calamari which came on a bed of arugula. The calamari had a really good char on it and came with a light sauce on top. For entrees, we split both the Arugula & Pistachio Pesto and Spicy Rigatoni. The Pesto pasta does have a strong arugula taste, the pistachios offered a nice crunch, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I loved that this was a pasta where you leave not feeling overly heavy from what you just ate. The Spicy Rigatoni was a favorite. The spice level is mild, which I appreciated, but each noodle had a great amount of sauce with it; the flavor was delicious. Staff was excellent with refilling out waters, checking in on our table, wrapping up our leftovers, and asking if we needed anything more. This is the perfect spot for a date night to a girls night to a causal drink. It's hard to find city-like places in the suburbs but this certainly falls onto the list!“

“Seated immediately, greeted promptly and politely. Beverages were out quickly. The place is beautifully decorated. The ambiance is rustic Italian and romantic, yet still appropriate for a table full of family or friends. The servers are knowledgeable, their assistants are right there with refills or clearing an empty plate. Congratulations to the owner! You run a well-oiled machine...Grazie molto, avete fato la nostra ocasione speciale!! We will definitely be back for more celebrations.“

“Zin is a place that we don't visit often. The food is decent enough, but an extremely limited menu. The service was slow on a night where it wasn't very crowded, and I would say our meals were above average but definitely not something that I would recommend as a must go to. It's a decent place to meet friends for a cocktail maybe a couple of appetizers really more than anything else.“
