The Freehling Room At Ravinia

My goodness, should have known better but thought I would give them another shot. Still some of the worst service. You would think that an hour and half of dining time would have been enough for three courses. Nope, concert started before we were finished. We had the same waiter as the last visit and though friendly enough we had to ask him to take our order then don't know if it was his fault or the kitchen's but the time it took for the food to come was just too long. I started with the mushroom soup which was good. Nice and hot. Hubby had the strawberry arugula salad. He gave me a taste and it was also very good. My chicken though was tough, rubbery and completely overcooked. I thought it practically inedible. Hubby ate it for me. I didn't taste them but those that had the halibut and the Cobb salad were satisfied with there choices. I must say, the salad looked really good and I would suggest ordering that. For dessert hubby and I split the dutch apple pie with cinnamon ice cream. It was okay but not exceptional. We were also late at that point so we were just rushing to get going and get to our seats. They had some computer problems so they had to take our credit card numbers to be run later. Promise of an email confirmation never arrived. Given the lack of service and unremarkable food they are overpriced.

We took my 14 year old granddaughter for dinner prior to the Bonnie Koloc concert. Food was great American Food. Friendly attentive service. Even though the restaurant was fully booked the team of waiters were always available and graciously available. I had the grilled Salmon and it was prepared perfectly and plated beautifully on a bed of lentils. Bread was brought to the table warm and very tasty. I would hope that during the off season at Ravinia it would be possible to eat at the Park View restaurant. Just a great dining experience.

The Lawn Bar is a terrible disappointment. The service is non-existent, the food is slow in being served and when it arrives, it isn't worth eating. A waste of time and money.

Literally inedible. Don't bother eating here. I can't believe anyone would waste their time eating this horrible food. And the service is even worse. Dirty dishes sat on our table for 45 minutes before anyone thought to remove them. So, we stared at our half eaten food without the option to forget how disgusting the food was.

The food is ok but enough wrong with everything we bought that I should have brought my own. Avoid the tacos Oversee the burger. The lettuce was sparse but that was the good part because it was nasty. Pizza was good Guacamole was mediocre Corn elote was good Of course Snarky Puppy was amazing
