- RRalphChicago / Illinois •3 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoFarm to table with the kitchen being totally gluten free. The mushroom soup was favorite. The food was really good, but the service was spread across to many tables to give us much attention.More info1776 RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Crystal Lake•4.7
- MMary FrancesVIPChicago / Illinois •169 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor was festive. We had a great meal on Christmas Eve. We each had a sale to start with; my husband had the table side Caesar and I had a house salad. Both were fresh and delicious. For our mai meals, my husband had the cedar plank salmon. It was cooked exactly as he asked and the flavors were great. I had the miso glazed sea bass with black rice. The blend of flavors was tasty and delicious. For dessert, the Sticky toffee pudding is a must and it did not disappoint. Our server was Kevin. He was knowledgeable of the menu and very pleasant and attentive. We have dined at Region before and it was extremely special to be recognized by servers that have waited on us in the past. For a great meal with attentive service and comfortable surroundings, Region is a must.More infoRegionPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Barrington•4.8
- EErinVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!More infoColonial Room at The Drake Oak BrookPrice: Moderate• American• Oak Brook•4
