Awesome spot to spend an evening and take advantage of their specials Food reviews: Truffle parm burger--wow. Not only was the cook amazing but the truffle flavor was perfect and not overpowering. Loved the crunchy contrast of the crispy onion. The fries were some of the best I've had. Salted and cooked to perfection

Barrington has a reputation for being a suburb full of pricks, but this place is where the real Barrington folk come to kick it. before i forget, the absolute best part of this brewery is Shef, that dude is the realest around. mikey and ian do a decent enough job of holding the fort down, but Shef brings this place to life. there's so much to see at sundial, grab a bite in the mall and mosey on down to my fav place to grab a beer.

We had an intimate seven-course meal at Noe for NYE, and it was truly exceptional. With only about…read more11 guests, the evening felt personal, progressive, and more like a culinary experience than a traditional dinner. Chef Robert Gadsby came out for almost every course alongside his team, thoughtfully explaining each dish and every nuance behind it. At the beginning of the evening, he introduced his entire team and their roles, which immediately set a warm and welcoming tone. Throughout the night, he checked in at just the right moments to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. The team took time to ask about preferences, dislikes, and allergies so the menu could be crafted accordingly. For guests enjoying alternate dishes, those plates were explained with the same care and attention, ensuring everyone felt equally considered. Their service is impeccable. Every course was beautifully executed, creative, and memorable. We were all lucky to be there. This was a true city-like, fine dining experience in the heart of the northwest suburbs...a special place with an incredible team, chef, and atmosphere. We fully expect it won't be easy to get in anytime soon, and we can't wait to see what Chef Robert Gadsby and his team continue to do.

This is a tough one to review because it's unlike any other restaurant I've ever encountered…read more To tell you anything would ruin the surprise. (So maybe stop reading.) Let me just start with there is no menu. You talk with the Chef individually and then it unfolds. Totally novel. I've been a few times now and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing is pre-prepared so it takes a little longer than other restaurants. I prefer a late night Parisian style of unfolding movable feasts. This suits my style, but it may not work for everybody. (But "everybody" also eats dogfood at McDonald's. So who cares?) The chef's pedigree is quite remarkable. He's cooked throughout the universe and how he ended up in Barrington is yet another story. Let me know what YOU think.

Amanda's energy and passion was outstanding. The tour was about 45 minutes and includes a tasting flight. Since I do not drink bourbon, they allowed my to substitute a drink. There were so many options that I was interested in trying, but after discussing what I like with Amanda, she suggested the Lavender Haze. The lavender syrup is made in house and was sweet, with a floral taste . The drink was excellent. They have open mic nights and live music. They are expanding into the adjacent space in the next few months. It was interesting to hear all of the logistics involved in moving equipment into the new space. We will be back !

My husband had the stuffed cabbage rolls, with mashed potatoes. We also shared an order of pierogis, meat and cheese and potato. This was the standout dish. The pierogis were light, and so well made.
