Best Seafood Restaurants in Crystal Lake

This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it. The setting is great, love the lighting and vibe. The food was really good. We had salad (wedge was so good), soup, steaks and lobster tail. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes and veggies had so much flavor. Even dessert was great, husband enjoyed the cheesecake and the chocolate covered strawberries I had were delicious. Our server was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back.

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!

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!

Great Valentine's Day!! Staff was excellent. Food came out super hot and fresh!!
