Best Authentic Restaurants in South Barrington

We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

We had a slight issue with an allergy and they were so accommodating

What an amazing experience. They are #1 for a reason. Started off a little rocky as there was no complimentary valet as mentioned on the website (maybe it's seasonal) and I had to wait an additional 15-20 mins for my reservation despite making it within the 15 min grace period. But I wasn't alone, the waiting area near the hostesses was packed! But it looks like we all got complimentary wine for the wait, hey, I'm not complaining. 15-20 min wait as packed as they were was honestly impressive. And once I sat down and began to receive my food, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the hype is well due! I had what was quite possibly the best steak I'd ever tasted, cooked to perfection, almost buttery soft. An 8oz perry filet wrapped in bacon and topped with lump crab meat, a generous portion of vegetables and good mashed potatoes. I also devoured the chocolate covered strawberries within minutes of receiving them. Great service, loved the lighting. Well worth the price. I will be back again and again!

Our server was phenomenal- outgoing, personable and attentive without being intrusive. Food was good although our shrimp was not very hot. Pizza was good!

You have to get the banana cake for dessert! It was soo good! We always have a good meal at Morettis! Service was great!
