Best Seasonal Restaurants in East Dundee

Cooper's Hawk is an awesome wine and dinning experience at every location I have been to and Barrington is no exception; it was a wonderful Valentine's weekend with special accommodation for prompt service as we needed to get to a show. Service from Thomas and Quintin was top notch and attentive. Thank you, guys.

On this busy Valentine night, it was our tenth wedding anniversary, and our server Courtney was wonderful! We ordered some of our favs: the hubs loves the lobster bisque and the surf and turf. I had the special: brown butter scallops on top of jasmine rice with spinach in a wonderful buttery balsamic reduction. NOTE: the portion size of the scallops was VERY generous and well priced (by comparison, I once ordered scallops at another local winery type restaurant, and it was served - I kid you not - three scallops in a row on a long plate with NO SIDES for nearly the same price as CH). The sauce esp was sumptuous and the scallops were cooked to perfection. I had the recommended wine with the scallops as well: the Artists SAG awards White Blend. I had to have the chocolate cremeaux dessert: a chocolate mousse with a toffee cream on top, and whipped cream with toasted coconut, almond, chocolate crunch on top of that. DIVINE! I also ordered a glass of sparkling almond wine which was our wedding drink. Simply delicious! Courtney celebrated our wedding anniversary with us (we were married at a different CH ten years ago) and was knowledgeable, caring, and non-intrusive. Loved this dinner! Will be back of course!

We couldn’t have picked a better place to go this Valentine’s Day. The minute you walk in the staff bends over backwards to make sure you are happy and being taken care of. Tom took care of us by explaining the menu and the shareables were awesome. It was heart to watch the chefs prepare the food in the wood fire oven. We will definitely be back. We had the whitefish pate, the lamb lollipops and the escargot. All were incredible. Well prepared and very flavorful.

We went warly do it wasn't crowded. Wine and food were delicious. The waiter was working really hard to get everyones drinks and orders. He was pleasant and helpful with our questions. We love Village Vitner for its different delicious food/drink options and friendly staff. We will keep going back.

Excellent service and great tasting food (filet mignon). Ordered a glass of French Malbec, which I really didn't like. Replaced with a red blend which was fine.
