Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in South Barrington

This was my fourth Thanksgiving dinner at Perry's. The first time we sat in the dining room which was great but when we were leaving I took a tour of the bar area and loved the atmosphere there. The two fireplaces and mix of hightop tables, booths and regular tables is so inviting. The lighting and outdoor/indoor screening are perfect. You don't even notice that there are televisions. The food is always perfect. I have the filet mignon and it is always cooked perfectly. The spinach artichoke dip is so creamy and addicting. The wine list has a great variety to choose from and I had a sample of the Rose which I might try next time. I had the Dr Loosen Riesling that was just sweet enough for dinner. The Thanksgiving menu with turkey and the traditional sides looked really good but I just can't pass up an awesome filet mignon. Joel was our server and he was delightful, funny, smart and so kind. I am returning to Perry's in a few days to meet a friend for dinner. It is our favorite place to have delicious food in an energetic atmosphere.

Thanksgiving dinner in a very crowded restaurant. We’ve been here before on Thanksgiving. Food was delicious, hot and lots of it. I had turkey with enough leftover for another dinner at home. My companion had a salad with filet of beef on top. She also had the casserole of assorted potatoes and cheeses. She loved all of the above. Took home some filet for tomorrow’s dinner. Even though it was very crowded, things flowed smoothly. Great overall in every aspect.

We've been enjoying scrumptious meals and fabulous wines at CH for over 26 years and tonight's meal was next level. We ordered the Surf & Turf (1 with lobster, 1 with shrimp) and swooned over every bite! We were celebrating our anniversary and every employee who made contact with us wished us a Happy Anniversary, and our server, Nellie R, even brought us each a free glass of bubbly for a toast! We felt welcomed, special, and had a most wonderful dining experience. Nellie was busy but made sure we were well taken care of and offered great recommendations. I'm a Wine Club Member and took home several great selections, 2 new wine glasses, truffles, and several bottles of Christmas Red Spiced Wine for our daughter in upstate NY...her annual Christmas gift request. Love CH!! P.S. Our reservation was on a Tuesday, at 4:30pm, and both the restaurant and wine tasting area were very full...that says a lot about how customers love this place! Everyone was happy and having a great time!!

We were seated promptly. Our waitress Jenni was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Food was really good. I feel like the calamari has actually gotten bigger lately. Everything was great.

We had the combination dumplings for appetizer and the Kung pow chicken. It was delicious.
