Best Family Style Restaurants in Hoffman Estates

We ordered cocktails/wine that were all very good - gin and tonic, vodka tonic, sangria and glass of wine. We ordered the Family Style meal that is an excellent value with the apps, mains and dessert included. Excellent value for those wanting a variety as the selections should cover all preferences/palates. We were waited on by Anna who arguably made this one of the best dining experiences my family has had in recent memory. There were multiple large parties due to the holidays but she navigated the timing of food delivery perfectly. We were also never wanting a refill on our drink or water glass as Anna made sure we always had full drink. I need to say that I put my reservation through for 5pm on and Friday and noted, "please do not sit next to bussing stations, bathrooms, kitchen or common/high traffic areas." I understand this is the holiday and if the dining room was full I would not have an issue with where we were first seated but it was by the bussing station and I asked to be moved. What I did not appreciate is the person who was seating us, had some attitude and wanted it to be known - this is what we, my family and I, were getting even before our meal started. I get it, there's a flow of seating guest as they arrive, maybe "outside to inside," meaning seat people from the outside of the dining room towards the center but I noted this on my reservation we did not want to sit next a bussing station. Now, I'm sure this person was possibly over the busyness of the holidays or got coal in their stocking but they were spewing vinegar when I asked that we move in banging the menus with their overall demeanor of eye rolling, I almost wanted to ask, "if there was a problem?" but held back. As I mentioned, Anna quickly made us forget about that experience. Brian was also gracious to come by and ask how are meal was. If you go, ask for Anna and your dinner will be one of the best. Thank you Anna and the support staff. To that person who seated us, hmm

Great service and good food! Always a great time! They were so accommodating for our group.

Great food, incredible service. Our table was close to the service station so lots of plates clanking, but not anyone at the restaurants fault for that. Just if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere maybe be asked to be seated away from the kitchen

Good food and friendly servers. Nice live band also

We had a fantastic evening. Katie M was our server and we had great service. This is only the 2nd time we have had a nice server (the other one was Henry). Katie M was super attentive and bubbly. Food was great. Thank u!
