Best Restaurants for Birthdays in South Barrington

We enjoyed our experience very much. We had the short rib risotto, which is an all-time favorite and the country rigatoni, which was very, very good. Our server was excellent and the wine was delicious.

Especially enjoyed how they handled the split dinner my husband and I ordered. 2 separate plates with sauce on each and the baked potato split right down the middle with 2 butters and sour creams. A lot of restaurants are not so accommodating. It was well presented and very appreciated.

Fantastic drinks, food and service! Table-side Guacamole is a must! The tortilla chips are warm, fresh and crisp, and the trio of salsas are amazing. We had the Mago salad, yum! And a selection of the tacos. Great flavors. Just perfect!

The server and/or bartender apparently did not know how to make the Sunset Mojito on their featured menu. Clearly stated lime and fresh mint yet both drinks I received arrived with an orange slice and/or cherry, one was spicy and the other coconutty. Very disappointing. Didn't have the heart to tell the server the drink was still wrong as we were more than halfway through our meal already as drinks were taking a long time due to restaurant busy.

I have never had a bad experience at any of the Cooper's Hawk restaurants! The food is always delicious and unique! The Chef Recommendations are awesome. The staff is friendly and courteous.
