Think about adding a buttery lobster tail to that Porterhouse (ordered off-the-menu, of course). Or, if red meat isn’t what you’re craving, opt for a bison bolognese (with hand-dipped ricotta, red wine, and chitarra pasta), seared halibut (with mushrooms, asparagus, and fingerling potatoes), or the roasted vegetable Provençal.
The latest lineup of appetizers (which I had the luxury of sampling on a recent visit) goes beyond the long-standing (and always delicious) French onion soup and steak tartare to include a dish called The Grand Central Caviar Sandwich (wild American bowfin caviar, farm egg, and crème fraiche) and a yummy ceviche with cucumber, avocado, oranges, and lime juice.
Finish the meal with a small, but carefully curated dessert list that features everything from the simple and elegant–a bowl of fresh mixed berries or a selection of artisanal cheeses, to old family recipes: Arnie’s chocolate velvet cake never goes out of style.
“We are always evolving,” says Amy, explaining that The Barn is becoming less formal as it growswith the Evanston community. “I believe in this process of becoming. We are already who we were in the beginning. We’re born who we are, and life is about getting us to where we’ve always been.”
Not all tables have tablecloths these days, and the ambiance is less austere and more hometown. “I want it to feel like a place where you can walk in and get a steak or a hamburger any night of the week,” she adds.
And as Amy has said many times, if she learned anything from her father and grandfather (her grandfather owned Morton’s restaurant in Hyde Park) it was that hospitality is about more than serving people a meal. It’s about making them feel warm and welcome, as you would welcome a guest into your home.
“That is the core of how I feel about this business,” she adds. “People have so little free time so when somebody chooses to come to The Barn, it is our privilege to take care of them.”
If you haven’t visited recently, we highly recommend it. The “good stuff ” is always better with age.
The Barn is located in an alley off of 1016 Church Street in Evanston. Check out the latest menu offerings (including a Prix-Fixe “Early Bird” dinner menu that features three courses for $30, every night but Saturday) by calling 847-868-8041 or visiting thebarnsteakhouse.com.
