I came here for my sister's bachelorette, and it was perfect! The restaurant is kind of L-shaped,…read moreso we were seated in the smaller side that had several other small tables, but the restaurant made sure to seat all the other tables first, so it was basically a private room! Our group started with three salads, all delicious, I highly recommend the arugula goat cheese. I also tried a bit of the patty squash which was great (I'm not usually a fan of squash). I shared two vegetarian dishes with a friend, a tomato burrata risotto I'm still thinking about) and a beat pesto that was a little bland. One of my highlights was the blush cocktail with pink peppercorn and passionfruit that tasted so refreshing and summery. Our table also tried three desserts, and the plates were scraped clean. This is a great spot, with good food and I would definitely come again if I lived nearby!

I decided to try something different, so I decided on a Strawberry Fields before the meal. Steven the bartender recommended it and it was delicious. The strawberry lemon made it a little sweet and sour without one overpowering the other. Their menu includes poultry, fish and of course the "Butcher's Corner". I ordered the Urban Cowboy steak and it was cooked to perfection. Juan, our server suggested different knife based on the meat we ordered. He also noticed that I had almost finished my drink and remembered what it was and asked if I would like another. Which I did. Juan's attention to our table made this a memorable dining experience. I only wish we had more room for dessert!! Maybe next time. Thanks to all the staff at Butcher & Barrel!!

Really glad I tried it. I tried stopping by one day when they'd been opened fewer than two hours I…read morethink but was out of luck; they were sold out. So I came by one Sunday before opening and was surprised that there were only about five people ahead of me in line shortly before they opened. They threw the doors wide open precisely at noon. Asa, the proprietor, clearly has a passion for the work she does. She's a bit of a cross between a poet and a pastry chef--check out the descriptions she writes of her pies if you don't believe me! Each slice is unlike any pie I've ever tasted. She had a pie with fig, and that was the closest to a conventional pie she had (if you can call it that--as I said, I find it hard to describe her offerings). All were creamy, decadent, and unique in the true sense of the word. Her crusts were amazing. Also unique is the way she runs her business. She is based out of a little counter in the Poke San that's on the corner of Wells & Huron. The hours she keeps are minimal. And it's a total of two people--her father, who takes payment, and her. Her passion comes out in the care that she takes with each slice: She bakes the pies, of course, but then she adorns them upon ordering. You will wait several minutes once you've ordered your slice, and if you are in line you will be waiting for a while depending upon your place (being 5th or 6th in line, I was finished about 15-20 minutes after the shop opened). It's clear she sees this as artistic expression, and honestly that is plain to see in how she finishes each slice: A brûlée'd top on this one (caramelized whilst you watch), decorating that one with local--real--flowers. It's an experience and if you like to try new things, or just taste something that is fairly unlike other local offerings, you should consider giving it a try before she moves on to new ventures.

The slice of pie was incredible and this is my new favorite dessert spot. It is quite pricey ($14…read morefor a singular slice), but a more special occasion type of pastry treat. Got the second one which is creamy cinnamon flavor with a brûléed top. There's some poured rice and cinnamon crème fraiche on the top. It wasn't overly sweet (huge compliment), and the crust was very flaky. How it works: -you can order at the window and there's little menus that are handwritten with the four pie options -the base pie is already done, and she will finish and add the decorations and toppings after you order Packaging is beautiful and very high end. Service was very fast (no one in line on a Sunday afternoon). Definitely will be back!

The ambiance is perfectly balanced with a beautiful mural on one side and on theme furniture.

The Hulu Huli Chicken is phenomenal and I highly recommend. The Pork Belly had such great flavor and the right amount of salt! The Pulehu Short Ribs were the star of the show for me. If you go, I also recommend upgrading the white rice that comes with the plates to Garlic Rice. Add a Fried Egg on top for that extra balance of flavor!!

Make no doubt about it the food is great. 4 star great. How did they ever turn this into a 1 star…read morereview? We were not regulars. It is a noisy place full of older customers that know everyone in the place. Lots of customers hugging the staff, talking with the owners, and other tables. A great atmosphere if you are a local. One of the owners even suggested carrot cake for our desert. Really good by the way. We did see a number of regulars tables that were receiving complimentary appetizers. I get it, but you should treat first time customers the same to make them repeat customers? The issue was with service and how we were treated after we had to get service. Our server disappeared once our main course was ordered. Yes the place was packed, but the server made sure she kept on touching base with the regulars tables and we received less attention. Well like no attention. Well like we had to go to the bar to one of the owners to get our check. Well and when my significant other tried to comment that we had a lack in service the owner walked away from us. She turned a really nice first time experience into a never going back and write a bad review experience. (And my significant other was mad the whole evening, which made the event worse for me.) So even though I wanted to at least give them a 2 star review I had to tie it back to the tip we gave of $1. Regretfully we will not be going back to The Green Room.

The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous, with the beautiful architecture, spacious interior, elegant décor, and relaxing views. The outdoor seating by the lake is especially enjoyable when the weather is nice. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. There is a great variety on the menu, with something for everyone. The service was also very friendly, professional, and attentive, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I especially appreciate how peaceful and welcoming the restaurant feels. It is a wonderful place for a family dinner, date night, celebration, or simply to enjoy a nice meal in a beautiful setting. Foxtail on the Lake is definitely one of the special dining places in Des Plaines. I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't be disappointed! I look forward to coming back again soon.
