The Greggory

Absolutely fabulous!! We had the filet, sea bass, French onion soup, Gruyère rolls, mushroom risotto, fries and banana cream pie. Each thing was better than the last. So delicious! Our server Jody was perfectly attentive and personable but not overly so. The ambiance is really sheik and cool. Food was A+ along with everything else! So good!

The Gregory is an absolute gem in South Barrington. From the moment you walk in, the warm, wood-fired aroma sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The menu perfectly blends modern American cuisine with a touch of sophistication — every dish feels thoughtfully crafted. The prime cuts of beef are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the seafood tastes incredibly fresh. The homemade pastas are a standout — rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. The attention to detail in both presentation and flavor truly elevates the meal. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, making it a great choice for both special occasions and casual nights out. Service is attentive without being intrusive, and the staff make you feel genuinely welcome. If you’re looking for a place that combines quality, creativity, and a cozy atmosphere, The Gregory should be at the top of your list.

Last time, too many nice restaurants have opened in Chicago suburbs, but The Greggory truly stands out! Interior is unbelievable — it feels like a museum-restaurant. It’s stunningly beautiful inside, with very friendly staff, quality tableware, and comfortable seating. Highlight for food lovers is the meat — it’s cooked on real wood fire, and flavor is outstanding. The people who created this place clearly have great taste in everything. We didn’t want to leave, so we keep ordering more food just to enjoy flavors and vibe. I also want to highlight staff once more — this is not just text, they welcome you warmly as if they’ve known you for a long time. Cocktails are top level. I already recommend this place to all my friends, and now I’m recommending it to you too!

The Greggory in Barrington Hills is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed into a space that is beautiful, sophisticated, and elegant. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between modern refinement and timeless charm. The service is outstanding — attentive, warm, and professional from start to finish. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish crafted with care and creativity. We started with the octopus and the crab & avocado appetizer, both of which were exceptional in flavor and presentation. Pair that with their really amazing cocktails, and the experience becomes unforgettable. Whether you’re there for dinner, drinks, or a special celebration, The Greggory delivers an elevated dining experience that Barrington Hills can be proud of.

We had an outstanding experience at the Greggory when we went! Our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable evening. The food was all so fresh with bright flavors that paired perfectly with our drinks. We were celebrating our anniversary and it was the perfect place to celebrate together. The atmosphere was cozy and very chic but allowed for intimacy and comfort. Every detail was well thought out here and if you are looking for a great evening this is a great place to consider! We will absolutely look forward to returning again. Also hands down the best cake I ever had was this one pictured, a must order for sure!

My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday last night and it was amazing! Our Server Patrick was very attentive he walked us thru the menu a little bit he was very patient with us as well.. cracked a few jokes here and there he really made us comfortable to be there! Our food came out pretty quickly considering it was VERY busy and it was phenomenal. My boyfriend got the 15oz wagyu ribeye and i got the rigatoni allá vodka. We also got the clarified whiskey sour and the passion fruit martini.. all of our food and drinks was a 10/10

I recently organized a surprise 40th birthday dinner for a friend, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment I made the reservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating—helping coordinate the surprise, setting up our décor, and even providing a vase for flowers. They went above and beyond, even capturing videos of the surprise moment for us! The atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic—warm and inviting, with a stylish bar area and a cozy fireplace that added to the overall vibe. We had plenty of space, and the table setup felt intimate and perfect for the occasion. The meal itself was excellent, with a wide variety of options that satisfied everyone in our group. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the night. A special shoutout to Nicole and Anthony, who truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot for any special occasion—or just a great night out.

This is a fabulous steakhouse, probably the best I've ever eaten at. The bar is amazing, the best I've seen ina restaurant. The owner Bill came to check on us and he was super nice to talk to. Adam the server was exceptional. But beyond all that the food was outstanding. We had the tomahawk steak with spinach and mashed potatoes, A++++. Highly recommend.

What can I say? I am so overwhelmed and blown away by our experience, I just had to say something positive - actually, a lot of things positive. First experience, the Valet parking. Hardest working men on this planet, hands down. Where else can I view a Miami Vice vintage Ferarri Testarossa. Porsche Cayenne SUV, and McLaren (?model) sportscar up front. Who doesn't have a McLaren by the way? Is this a car show? Anyway, real nice view, and I have definately seen worse. Second, our hostess/server/spiritual guide Natalia, in the cocktail bar, deserves a special shout out - because she earned it (times ten) Lets talk a little about the cocktail lounge, it's style, ambiance, and attitude. First - I did not detect ego, arrogance, or (ahem) favoritism here - just hosting and friendliness at its apex. Don't get me wrong, this is a way class, upscale swanky, but non pretentious (don't you love that word) experience. In other words, dont expect to come in here dressed like a slob and not get served - but dont expect any favors either. Respect the place, your level of dress, and everyone around you. Proper attitude pays off - which is evident here. But - and I'll say this again, as far as a modern decor that combines comfort, class, and just plain cool, trust me, the archiects, builders, and manager / partners worked overtime - and nailed it. Come see so for yourself. Third, the food. Not to test the kichen, chef, or anything, just to satisfy my tastebuds, but they took a rubbery, chewy, work hard at digesting (octopus) seafood - and mastered it. I came out soft, creamy textured and delicicious - with seaweed ? Well, it was seaweedy-y. In short, it looked and tasted out of this world. The meat and potato girl ordered steak frites that scored big with her - and therefore me as well. We have a new fan of cognac peppercon sauce which I will now have to learn to make - but not replicate Fourth, its a cocktail bar - duh, the drinks! My (just one, ha ha) dirty gin blue cheese olive martini was/were lethal and other-worldly - thank you bar staff and Monkey 47. Why dont these have FDA or OSHA warning labels on them? The red wine girl sampled a cucumber-lime vodka drink that made her a beleiver. I now have new reason to rid my home booze cabinet of under used vodka bottles and raid the grocery vegetable section for cukes. Fifth, the blue suited floor walking managers engaged in the proper level of glad-handing and acting as feedback sounding posts. My words were breif, to the point, and very glowing. I love it when a place has a mechanism in place, in order to help make itself better. Will they see us again? I'll answer by asking - how soon is soon enough? The Greggory is calling...

Came here on a Friday night with a reservation for four people at 6:15 PM. It is located in the big Arboretum of South Barrington and although you would think there were lots of parking spaces during peak times it is very hard to find a parking space and you will hike to the restaurant. Upon entering, there were people waiting to greet me. They were very gracious, and they actually walked me directly to my table because my party was already there. The service all evening was absolutely fantastic. I wish I remembered our waiters name. The menu is fantastic with a lot of classics and staples that you would expect in a steakhouse as well as one with this Italian influence. Portions are pretty fair, although I would say some things like the salad are on the smaller side I personally got the steak and frites and it was perfection The mushroom risotto was also delicious but a bit salty, but I would still order it and eat it the next time The cake was ridiculously huge and it had the sparkler because we were celebrating a friend's birthday My only complaint about this place is the fact that it is so dark and they try to cram in so many tables and our table happen to be right next to one of the bars which was also totally full and also part of our table backed up to main aisles of traffic and our chairs were getting bumped all night Further to get to the restroom, you literally had to go from our side of the restaurant to the complete opposite side of the restaurant to get to the restaurants. That was absurd because you were literally walking through so many people's tables breathing on their food, hearing their conversations and that is not pleasant. They really need to reconfigure the floor plan the placement of tables and chairs or do something.

Late post We came here last night for dinner to celebrate our nephew's birthday. This restaurant is located in The Arboretum, so parking is ample, but they also have valet. Ambiance is a mix of casual yet elegant, and we were seated in a half-table, half-booth. The chairs are very comfy. Staff is welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. I don't remember the name of our waiter, but I think it was John? (sorry) He was great at answering all of our questions and gave his personal recommendations, which we appreciated. Appetizers: Gruyère popover rolls, crabmeat and avocado, and grilled Spanish octopus. Entrees: I ordered the salmon, hubby ordered the filet mignon, niece ordered the Wagyu beef tartare and bone marrow, and nephew ordered the bone-in ribeye. Sides: mushrooms and fries. Drink: Toki sour The crabmeat was very meaty, and the octopus was extremely tender. All of our entrees were just as delicious! Everything was done to perfection! We didn't order dessert because we were full, but we wanted our nephew to at least get something, even though he isn't big on sweets. But he declined, and our waiter was generous in removing one drink from our tab. We don't live in the area, but I do recommend giving this place a try.

Outstanding service, delicious food, and great drinks! I've visited a few times now, and every experience has been flawless. Also a beautiful restaurant great for catching up with a friend or celebrating an anniversary!

We enjoyed an anniversary dinner at the Greggory, and it's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. Having never been there, I was first amazed at the size of the building and the large dining and bar areas. The entire space is sectioned off into smaller areas to both reduce noise and provide a more intimate setting. Every space is equally gorgeous with every detail executed to perfection. Our waiter, Adam, greeted us with both a smile and immediate assurance that he will guarantee an outstanding evening for us - and that it was. The gryuere popover starter was mouthwatering. Our beet salad was refreshing and plentiful for both of us to split one. My Halibut was delicious with a delightful blend of spices and a scrumptious vegetable accompaniment. And my FRIES! I could have made a meal of those all by themselves. To finish, we had the chocolate praline cake with hot fudge sauce. AMAZING. A night to remember!

Updating to add a brunch review. Elizabeth was our server and she's a fierce, attentive wonderful server. We had the Almond Croissant, Schnitzel, Steak and Eggs, and a piece of strawberry rhubarb cheesecake for my husband's birthday. What made it so perfect, which wasn't even anticipated or planned, is that Strawberry Rhubarb is his favorite and we had no idea it was even an option. The brunch drinks are also amazing, and the Pink Pony! No words. Thanks again.

This was my first visit to the Greggory for my birthday dinner, and it was truly a treat. The inside is very trendy but also timeless. You can see the open flame kitchen and the food being prepared and the tables are perfectly spread out. My server was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and helped us make all the right decisions. I know I will have to go back because there are so many things I wanted to try! For this dinner, we got oysters, pigs in a blanket, and Gruyère popovers as our appetizers. The pigs in the blanket were the best thing with the homemade mustard, so buttery and unique. The oysters were fresh and not fishy. The popovers I would maybe skip next time, as I wasn't a huge fan. They were tasty, but not something I would gravitate towards again. For dinner, we all got filets with sides of roasted peppers and mashed potatoes. The sides are shareable, so for three of us it was the perfect amount! All of our steaks were prepared perfectly, mine being medium well, and my other family members getting medium and medium rare. The mashed potatoes were the star. So buttery and creamy they were delicious. And the peppers were almost like a melrose pepper. They look scary and spicy when they first come out, but the taste is sweet and mild and yummy. We got a dessert for my birthday, on the house, and the presentation alone was amazing!! Then you taste the cake and oh my gosh, it was so light and not too sweet and such a treat. Our bill with 2 bottles of water, 2 Arnold palmers, and one beer included, came to about $315 before tip. For the amount of food we got and the quality, I would say this is an incredibly price. I will definitely be coming back to try the other things that peaked my interest. Such a great new restaurant and a must try!

The Greggory is a nice looking steakhouse but the delivery of a fine dining steakhouse, food-wise, is hit and miss. Service was excellent. Cocktails were excellent. But the food...the bone-in ribeye was fine, the BLT wedge salad was good (not great), and our sides were tepid and flavorless. But the risotto--simultaneously runny with overdone arborio.

We came here on a Monday evening. The restaurant is very trendy and upscale. We were seated in one of the dining rooms promptly. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. She explained menu items. She almost checked on us too much but can't really complain about an attentive server, especially when good restaurant service is hard to come by these days. The only thing that was kind of annoying was when we asked about any menu item the response was that "it's phenomenal". So it wasn't super helpful in making decision. With that being said there were so many amazing choices on the menu that it was hard to make a decision. From cocktails to dessert everything looked and sounded amazing. For cocktails we have the Fresa Flaca (my favorite drink now!) it's under the martini section and it's a strawberry infused tequila martinis with lime juice. My husband had the Oaxaca which was good, I tried a sip but on the smokier side. My in laws had an old fashioned Greggs way and a martini. All of our drinks were excellent. For appetizers we had the shrimp cocktail and the popover rolls which of course all tasted great. For mains I had the halibut (they just recently changed their menu so the online menu that's currently up doesn't have the same halibut option on it which I was a little bummed about) however it was delicious. My husband had the bone in filet which he said was really good, my father in law had the salmon and my mother in law opted to just have a bar bites option of the lobster rolls. She said they were good but way more bread and just a small portion of lobster. All of us had wine with our mains. We were celebrating a new business venture so when we ordered dessert (praline chocolate cake) it came out with a fun candle. Overall it was such a wonderful experience and great meal.

Finally the Greggory is open for business!! The interior is beautifully curated and gave off fancy vibes. Thankfully the staff and the menu did go down the pretentious route. We sat in the bar area on a Friday night for a nightcap and were impressed with the space, service and drinks. The execution was at the level we were anticipating. I had the Party on Higgins since I'd never had the combination of tequila, Aperol and chartreuse. It was an interesting combo and none of the spirits overpowered the cocktail. I recognize that the restaurant focus is American food/steakhouse but I would have liked to seen some veg friendly options especially as bar bites. Although we were there around 9 PM, folks were still ordering meals so we got a chance to see some of the menu coming out and everything looked great. I see myself returning for another nightcap and maybe a slice of chocolate cake...

We visited Greggory about a month ago, when they just opened. We were excited because we have been waiting for it to open. The restaurant deco was modern chic. Upon entering, there's a big entry way. We greeted by the hostess. Then we were shown to our table and we can see the kitchen. We waited for a while for our wait staff to come by. However, our wait staff didn't take time to explain the concept or specials of the menu. We inquired about gluten free because it was not on the menu. Our wait staff pointed out a few things that can be made gluten free. We ordered some drinks while deciding what to order. The menu has a range of options, but the center point was steak. When the drinks came, we placed our order: salads, soup, and two entrees. Then, we waited for a while for our salads and soup to come. After that, we wait for another while for the main course to arrive. Even then, we had to ask for a steak knife, and a side because it was forgotten. We can see that our entrees were under a warmer for while, because my medium well steak was very well done. We were offered desserts, and we opted for the ice cream as it was the only option. I understand that the restaurant was just opened, there might be still some issues to work out. It was just a so-so experience. The whole dinner took close to three hours with a lot of waiting in between.

As a recent city transplant this restaurant is everything! Made resos for my wedding anniversary the second I saw they opened them up. My expectations were low bc it was maybe like day 2 of the restaurant opening but my expectations were met! Everything from the decor to the service to the food and drinks was fantastic! My husband ordered a manhattan and I had a Paloma- both were made very good. Food: Wagyu tartar and bone marrow Oysters Half lobster Steak frites Cacio e pepe Creamed spinach Everything was delicious and fresh. I enjoyed everything we ordered. Most definitely will be back!

Arrogant host/hostesses at front. Couldn't find reservation despite phone confirmation. We arrived 15 minutes early and the rudely said we would have to wait for designated reservation time. Told to go get a drink at bar while waiting. However, no room at bar. No tables. Multiple parties of similar size were seated before us. Had to repeatedly ask about our table. Didn't get seated until 20 minutes after reservation time. Essentially waited 30 minutes. Drinks seemed weak or watered down. Prime rib was dry. Waiter was decent but other than that markedly disappointed with entire experience. Prices were high compared to similar establishments. Definitely overrated.

My siblings and I have been wanting to come here ever since we heard it was opening. We decided to go for their graduation dinner. From the moment we entered until we left, the experience and service was unforgettable. Our server Mark was amazing. He was knowledgable about the menu, the preparation, the restaurant's history and had stories for everything. He was very accomodating. We ordered: Gruyere Popovers, Wagyu Pigs in a Blanket, a few steaks like the Ribeye and Filet Mignon, whipped potatoes, mushrooms and the spinach agnolotti. May I say that their steak is amazing. I've been to a lot of the popular steakhouses in the city (Chicago) and this surpasses their preparation. The crust and flavor is amazing but it beats other places as it was so tender that our knives just glided through with ease. We loved the popovers so much and the pigs in a blanket as well. My only complaint would be with the whipped potatoes. They were very liquidy and watery. The amount was very little as well it felt like a potato sauce even. Other than that everything was so pleasant and I am so excited to come back. I would have loved to try their seafood but my siblings are a little picky with that so I am looking forward to trying that next time. The interior is beautiful, service exceeds all expectations and the food is wonderful. I highly recommend for your next dinner. And thank you again Mark for a lovely experience at The Greggory.

I dined at The Greggory on a Monday night to celebrate a family birthday. The restaurant is a nice mix of casual yet downtown modern. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant staff were kind enough to let us bring an apple pie in for dessert because it was the birthday person's favorite dessert. The food we ordered was good. We started with an order of popovers that came with a seasoned butter. Most of us had steak with one person opting for the hamburger. For sides I tried the sweet potato and others at the table had the asparagus. The food is cooked in a hearth. While it's different I don't think it produced food that was somehow unique to what is served at other steak houses. I'm glad we gave it a try and if I'm in the area again and need a nice dinner spot to celebrate an occasion I might return.

I love this place. It is exactly what the burbs needed. It is full of Gibsons DNA but does its own thing as well. While you can easily spend a fortune here, you can also just come in and get a steak with fries with a salad and get out for under $50. The service is impressive. They make you feel like a true VIP at every visit. I planned a small party there and they knocked it out of the park. If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! A few real standouts: the prime rib is awesome. The corned beef bites are amazing. The bone in ribeye is better than Gibsons. The steak frites is decadent and delicious.

My team came to the Greggory for a work event and had a wonderful experience in one of their private rooms. The staff are extremely attentive, and the space is beautiful. We started with beautiful cocktails as well as a cheese board, seafood tower, crab salad and burrata. We also indulged in lobster bisque and Caesar salads, and I can confirm all of the apps were tasty. The main attraction was the prime rib which was cooked perfectly, served with mash and creamed spinach, again all of it was wonderful, especially the prime rib with horseradish dipping. We finished with a few dessert options, my favorite being the mini key lime pies. I would absolutely recommend the Greggory, it was wonderful and I didn't have a bad bite, I just wish I took more photos to share.

Was eagerly awaiting the opening of the Greggory and our first visit did not disappoint in the slightest. The restaurant is beautifully designed! We sat in the bar at the high top tables which were great. Brooke was our server and she was phenomenal! So happy, so attentive, and so knowledgeable about the menu! She was always around when our drinks came, our food came, or if she felt we needed anything. Loved her! We started with a round of blueberry lemon drop martinis which were incredible! We enjoyed the focaccia as a starter which was so so good, I highly recommend it! It came with a cute little bottle of EVOO too, love a cute presentation! We next enjoyed a round of spicy margaritas which were also fantastic! For dinner we enjoyed the steak frites with a side of asparagus that came with romesco sauce. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the romesco sauce for the asparagus was so flavorful! We will absolutely be back! Can't wait to try some of their handmade pastas and more of their delicious cocktails! The owners were on site and were sure to stop by to make sure everything was up to par. This is a fantastic restaurant, such a great addition to the Arboretum!

Dark high end supper club experience, superb service. The food is high quality, biggest shrimp I have ever seen. The bone marrow tartare was a favorite of mine, loved the flavors. A free while chocolate dessert with sparklers for special occasions.

A City-Worthy Dining Experience in the Suburbs I was so pleasantly surprised by The Greggory--it's everything you want in a high-end dining experience without having to drive downtown. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was beautiful, chic, and elevated. It felt like a trendy city spot tucked right into South Barrington. The food was absolutely fantastic. Every dish we tried was full of bold flavor and cooked to perfection--you can tell there's real attention to detail, especially with the fire-grilled items. Even the cocktails were creative and well-balanced. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel special. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but 100% worth it for the quality, ambiance, and overall vibe. Whether you're celebrating something or just want a memorable night out, The Greggory delivers. I can't wait to go back.

Was treated to this divine experience for my birthday. Where to start the staff was above outstanding didn't miss a detail . The food was some of the best I have had anywhere. It is pricey but you more then get what you pay for. Portions were big enough to share and a great way to try a few things . The valets remembered someone has spilled water in the car seat and when I got out my dress was soaked and met me with a towel to sit on on the way home . THIS is the attention to detail that makes this an outstanding restaurant !!!

We had a great meal at The Greggory last night. The restaurant is beautiful and it was very lively for a Tuesday evening. Nice to see such a great place in the suburbs. Our server was very attentive and helpful in describing the food when we had questions. For apps we did oysters and the tomato burrata salad. The tomato salad had these little balsamic pearls which looked like caviar but popped in your mouth with this great flavor; Entrees were bone in filet and halibut. Both were seasoned really well and the steak was cooked perfectly. For sides we had the mashed potatoes and the mushrooms. Loved the mushrooms!! It was my birthday so we had the key lime pie (that was the only picture I remembered to take). We had heard mixed reviews so we were very happy to have such a fabulous experience.

The Greggory has great food and service. The beef, lamb and fish are all great. The Dover sole and halibut are tough to beat. It is a busy restaurant and is a little noisy, but should definitely be a restaurant to visit.

Exceptional food and service. Salads and entrees are large enough to split. Split a NY strip and have it carved at the table. Nice wine list that is 'reasonably priced. Owners are from Gibson's so they really know their stuff. Ask for a table in the middle section. I think it's a little quieter.

Went here twice so far, and will be back. Service is very high end! 1st visit was just simple drinks at the bar. Great selection by the glass! And bar staff was more than friendly and outgoing without being intrusive. 2nd visit, sat in the bar but for full meal. My steak wasn't cooked right, and not only did they refire it, they redid the ENTIRE MEAL for us all, and gave us leftovers and more to take home. They said the goal is perfection. You can't do more than that! And we had a lovely bottle of wine and just a great place! Can't wait for cool weather to enjoy the fireplaces too! TeaLynn (sp) was our server and she also comped us an incredible desert!!!! Seriously high end food, style, ambiance and Service!

We have been here three times and will be back many more. The service is always amazing, the drinks and food are absolutely delicious. Please bring back the cold seafood tower! It might be the best seafood tower I've ever had.

The service was impeccable! We loved our server, Donald. Food & drinks were amazing. We order the steak frites, cacio de pepe & bone marrow potatoes. For dessert we ordered the white chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. It is a large piece but you can always take some home. This dessert was to die for! Donald was fantastic as recommending the best drinks. We ordered a few different glasses of red wine.

Huge shout-out to the events manager Alyssa for being accommodating for my family and making it work for my large party.

This week we dined at the brand new & highly anticipated opening of the Greggory in South Barrington. Opened by our wonderfully talented friend Chef Jose Sosa (mastermind of the menu) along with Gregg Horan & Bill Veremis, the chic polo-club decor and open fire cooking set the restaurant apart from the chain restaurants in the area. Everything was beautifully presented and super scrumptious! Can't wait to return!

I had heard such great things about this place and couldn't wait to try it. My daughter and I had plans for a Saturday noting that they opened up at 3 pm. NO the dining room is not open at 3 PM which we found out upon arrival so had two cocktails to the tune of $35.00 The service was outstanding and that deserved 100 stars . Food is very good - we opted for prime rib & a filet. (Because we did not have a reservation we were told we would have to leave by 5:45.) The bill for my daughter and I was over $300.00. We did not even have dessert. 2 additional Proseccos at $11.00 each. Doubtful that I would return here as for that kind of money I would rather dine at Capital Grille or Gibsons. PS The "take home" container tops are miserable / impossible to remove.

I'm pleased to report our latest visit was wonderful. I had the prime rib which was evenly cooked to perfection and the buttered whipped potatoes which were delicious. To top the evening off they gave us a mouth watering white cake with vanilla mousse filling and white chocolate shavings drizzled in a raspberry sauce. Definitely a different experience this time and I will definitely be coming back.

No photos because we devoured our food. Be aware that 3 pm opening is for the bar. Dining opens at 4 pm. We were seated at the bar since it was only 3:15 pm. We ordered Triple Crudo which is delicious. No one has Triple Crudo anywhere. It comes with Tuna, Hamachi and Salmon. We enjoy Hamachis so we ordered 2 plates of this as a starter and as a dessert. We also had the ala vodka pasta. Husband thinks it's fresh made because it has a bite as he said. Prime rib was also very tender. He had cucumber margarita. They don't skimp. I had to ask for water once. They have small 10-12 oz glass cups so that is something that should be closely watch. Greg came by and introduced himself. Now my husband call him Uncle Greg. Little does Uncle Greg know. We will definitely go again even though we are from Rockford. We will order 2 more Crudo and try other entrees. :) Oh, love the inside of the restaurant. Very cozy.

Not worth the money Don't recommend, definitely doesnt feel like fine dining. Even if you have an app and 2 glasses of wine you're looking at 150 bucks. Nothing special.

Very impressed for my first visit. Beautiful entrance. Had a reservation, the hostess immediately acknowledged the bday girl. (Great attention to detail from our reso). We asked to be seated in a high top, rather than the dining room. (Better ambience for a GNO). Moody, modern, upscale and classy. It looks like the bar will be an indoor/outdoor vibe in the summer. The attention to detail was impeccable: glasses were always full, place settings were always reset without interruption to our conversation, (I love the individual, full service restrooms btw). You can tell there was a thorough, training around etiquette. The server was attentive throughout the evening and the owner,Gregg, stopped by to introduce himself. My friend mentioned to him that she had a tough time placing a second reservation to bring her family back and he was able to get her in. Food was great. We tried the beat salad, fillet and whipped potatoes. Pricing is extremely variable based on what you order. Martinis were well priced at $15. However, the entrees can get pricey based on the main/side you order. At the end, we were given a (large) complementary piece of cake for the birthday girl. The most impressive part? This restaurant had only been open a week and didn't miss a beat! Beautiful restaurant, great food and amazing attention to detail.

Wonderful dinner at The Greggory. Beet salad and Caesar salad were generously sized and delicious. Prime rib is 10/10. Must try! Horseradish sauce should be sold separately- what a treat. Will return.

We had another great dinner experience here tonight! Thankful for the amazing service, ambiance and food!

Service was top notch, cocktails were great. However, the roasted seafood tower was disappointing. Too much oil and much of the shellfish was meatless. Would not order again. Perhaps the raw seafood tower would be better. Just saying

First time here and the food and service was incredible! Cannot wait to go back!! One of the best restaurants in the arboretum

First and foremost the food and atmosphere were amazing. The bone marrow was delish! We ordered many apps, sides and main meals. No complaints at all. Great quality. Here is where it went strange and sideways. First the Somalia came over to deliver our wine, we were celebrating our friends 20th wedding anniversary. We told that to the Somalia, he said he was gonna go get some bubbles for us to celebrate with! We were very excited we're gonna take a picture, and the bubbles never came. Now our server kept telling us about." the experience." that the Gregory gives you. First he forgot our bread, then he walked away and didn't serve us the sides... Not that we need help with serving ourselves, this is part of." the experience.". Then he brought out dessert, and that was lovely! However, he went to take a picture, walked away and never served us the cake... That was also part of." the experience.". These are his words! Not mine! So, I would go back for a second chance, but maybe with a different minded waiter. The prices are high, and that's OK, but if you're paying that, and you're told there's an experience, you want the full experience!

Fantastic! Went in for the first time and they had only been open two weeks, the staff was very knowledgeable, helpful friendly, great service at the main bar, I had the Quatro for Maggio with pesto over Lam marinara. Highly recommend! I will be back.

Pay no attention to the few one-star reviews The Greggory has received--they're completely unfair complaints about the restaurant being busy during its opening week. Any great new spot is going to draw a crowd, and this one is absolutely worth it. From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be one of the best meals we've ever had. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The pasta was equally outstanding, perfectly cooked with bold, delicious flavors that transported me straight back to Italy. The service was just as impressive. Every team member was attentive, making sure each guest felt seen and taken care of. But a special shoutout goes to our waiter, Donald (Don), who made our first anniversary celebration truly special. He was warm, personable, and made us feel like the most important table in the restaurant. His recommendations were spot on, and his energy and kindness added so much to our experience. If you're looking for a top-tier steakhouse in the Chicago suburbs, The Greggory is it. Phenomenal food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes any occasion feel special. We'll definitely be back!

This place is advertised to open at 3 pm on Saturdays. The BAR is open - not the dining room. So we had to kill 45 minutes before we could get in at 4 pm. Very pricey. Since we did not have reservations and were told they book MONTHS in advance (?) we were told we'd have to leave by 5:45 pm. The service was outstanding. Food is very good - On the menu there is a choice of 2 breads. One listed a price of $8.00. The other had no price. I assumed it was complimentary. No, it was not. (I had the prime rib - my daughter had a filet) Done very nicely. I am a huge fan of Capital Grille because of the elegant ambience and excellent service every single time. My loyalty remains with them. Thank you.

Disappointed after a promising start My husband and I had dined at The Greggory a few times and really enjoyed the space and menu--it felt like a great new spot for the area. Unfortunately, our most recent visit left us disappointed and unlikely to return. During our dinner, the General Manager opened a bottle of champagne that ended up spraying everywhere--on me, nearby diners, and the floor. Accidents happen, but we were surprised that the manager disappeared immediately after. A staff member cleaned up the area and even attempted to serve us the dropped bottle, which didn't feel appropriate. Later, we also noticed an expensive bottle of wine added to our check that we hadn't ordered. Thankfully, we caught the error in time and had it corrected. While an apology was offered, there was no attempt to comp anything or provide a gesture of goodwill. I even contacted the owner afterward and was told a gift card would be sent, but it never arrived. The Greggory is a beautiful space and clearly has potential, but in our experience, guest care and follow-through need attention. We truly hoped this would become a regular dining spot for us, but after this visit, my husband and I have decided not to return.

HALIBUT don't mind paying higher cost for this. can't be fresh tried to like but had to be flash frozen - really below average taste- seasoning ??? very disappointing -

Very cozy, elegant & upbeat spot with mouth watering food. Delicious drinks. Dessert portion was a huge slice of cake! Definitely took a to-go box. Perfect date night spot!

Excellent restaurant from start to finish! Superb service, Mark and Herb were great servers. The cocktails, wine, appetizers, main courses, and dessert were all fantastic. The decor is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. It has city vibes in the burbs. PS, please add crème brûlée to the dessert menu10/10 recommend!

A New Favorite Spot! I had the pleasure of visiting The Greggory with friends recently, and I can confidently say it's one of the most memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and thoughtfully curated--it felt like a place where everyone is meant to feel at home. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and balanced in a way that shows true culinary talent. You can tell the owner has poured their heart, skill, and intelligence into every aspect of the restaurant--from the menu to the service to the vibe of the space. Highly recommend--we'll definitely be back!

We had a great time at the The Greggory!  Outstanding service, great food and friendly atmosphere.  What really sets the Greggory apart is the genuine care from the waitstaff to the management!  They do not make the obligatory visit to your table asking how everything is.  You can tell they are genuinely concerned about you having a great time at their restaurant and are looking for honest feedback.  We had the 2 owners and manager stop and introduce themselves, a very nice touch. The Greggory Burger is a hidden gem and not to be missed.  Can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu.  Great place, Great Vibe, Great Food and Great Value!   My only complaint would be that the corkage fee is a little high at $35 on the first bottle and $50 on the second bottle; how about $25 and $35?  I did not get a chance to peruse their wine menu since we were celebrating a birthday and had a special wine for the occasion, but their wines by the glass appeared reasonable compared to other high end restaurants.  Good Luck to the owners and wishing for much success!

Could not say enough good things about this place. The service, the vibe, and most importantly the food were all outstanding. The crudo fish appetizer was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Our server recommended the Cacio Pepe to have as a shared side which we normally wouldn't order but it was fantastic. Would also recommend the Gruyère popovers, steak frites, and charred lobster. Everything was great and can't wait to go back.
