    We love Region and our meal last night was delicious! Great service and atmosphere. It is rare in the suburbs to be busy on a Tuesday night, but regional was due to their great food!

    I first foray to Region in Barrington for a Sunday birthday dinner. Very quiet with NCAA tournament going on and lousy weather. Service was outstanding, food came out "hot" from the kitchen and was of excellent quality. Dessert (always suspect) was scrumptious.

    In our three years in the area, we have heard a lot of good things about Region and were excited to finally dine there. Unfortunately our experience was very disappointing and we are unlikely to return. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, but overall service was very slow and not well timed. We started with the Bang Bang Cauliflower which we enjoyed, but didn't think it lived up to the hype we heard prior to our visit. The real disappointment came with our entrees, we both had steaks. My husband's ribeye was almost laughably thin, (think steak and eggs at a diner), and was pretty basic. Despite requesting the jus on the side, it was all over his plate, he didn't want to send the entire plate back for this reason but it was still disappointing. I had the Boursin stuffed filet, which strangely had little Boursin, and was also quite bland. Both entrees came with whipped potatoes, which were probably the highlight of the meal, as well as green beans. The green beans were so overcooked that there was no crunch left in them. We were also served homemade dinner rolls, which were also slightly overbaked. We both felt that we make steaks just as well here at home as what we received at Region, a huge disappointment especially given the price point. Maybe steak just isn't their strength, and other entrees would have been better choices.
