Made a reservation for 8pm for 4 people, parking lot was empty, when we 1st walked in the host was great her energy was fantastic & she was checking up on us throughout the dinner (assuming she was the manager) this spot is really nice on the interior. For apps we got the shrimp and mussels they were delicious especially with that shrimp sauce that came with it. Server was attentive and did a good job our food was so flavorful and delicious the green beans were great too. Mac & cheese was sooooo good! The asparagus needed a little salt but that’s fine. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake and peach cobbler and let me tell you the PEACH COBBLER WAS AMAZING. I’d come back again

We had our after wedding dinner and it was absolutely amazing! The food is outstanding , the staff is so nice and friendly and the chef even came out to congratulate us! They gave me roses and were very patient and kind to everyone! Absolutely will be coming back! We even showed up an hour early for our reservation and was sat immediately!

Lake Barrington Steakhouse truly impressed me. The steak was really good, cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear on the outside and tender, juicy meat on the inside. The flavor was rich and well-seasoned, making each bite a delight. The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the experience, with a warm and inviting ambiance that made it perfect for a special night out. Magnificent paintings were placed throughout the restaurant. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent service throughout the meal. Overall, I highly recommend this steakhouse to anyone looking for a great dining experience. If you're a steak lover, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing experience for our anniversary. The host/manager here was fantastic as well as Lauryn our waitress. The dry aged steak outstanding and my wife loved the fish. We will definately be coming back soon.

Absolutely amazing meal, romantic atmosphere with stunning art on the walls by the chefs daughter! (nothing more attractive than a proud dad!) the food was soo yummy & everyones so inviting. A intimate dining experience perfect for date night,anniversaries or more. Our server,Corrine was a total sweetheart & the hostess was lovely. 10/10 will be back to try the chicken * not pictured because it was eaten is my lobster, which was top notch, we ordered the dry aged rib eye & veal meatballs, and oh the warm bread!

Two of us arrived at LBS at 4:45 on a Wednesday during October 2025. We were greeted warmly and quickly shown to our reserved table and were provided with several seating options in the dining room. Our server was very knowledgeable regarding the regular menu items, the specials of the day, and the wine list. When the warm bread arrived, we ordered the Bada-Bing Shrimp and Onion Soup as appetizers, the Walleye Pike and 16oz Prime Ribeye as entrees and for a shared dessert, their Peach Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. One expects excellent service and delicious food when visiting lhigh-end restaurants. We experienced both and could not have been happier with our experience. We wondered how this gem eluded us over our more-than-ten-year stay in nearby Kildeer but then learned they only opened during January of 2025. We highly recommend Lake Barrington Steakhouse for a five-star dining experience.

We celebrated our anniversary at LBS this week. First, the hospitality and service are unmatched anywhere. We felt truly welcomed! We were greeted with champagne, roses and a lovely card in honor of our 42nd anniversary. The food!!! We started with stuffed mushrooms...you could make this a meal and be truly satisfied! The steaks were prepared to perfection...flavorful and "melt in your mouth" delicious! Our dessert was this amazing peach cobbler, topped with ice cream...reminded me of the way my mother made it down south! We will be regular customers...no doubt about it!

First and foremost, the service from Matt the bartender was fantastic. The lady, who is the hostess, who I believe is also the owner, was delightful, Her hospitality was charming. Dinner was delicious I don’t live here, but when I come back, I will visit again - top notch!
