Before You Go

The Barn Steakhouse in downtown Evanston has introduced an expanded dining program tied to the opening of Northlight Theatre’s new $32 million, 287-seat facility next door. The restaurant, owned by Amy Morton, is an official Northlight Theatre dining partner and will offer matinee-day lunch service, nightly happy hour and a three-course pre-theatre dinner menu. Guests who present a Northlight ticket will also receive 10% off.

Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday when Northlight has a matinee scheduled, with the final reservation at 1:30 p.m. ahead of the 2 p.m. curtain. The à la carte menu includes the Heritage Sirloin Burger with Boursin and grilled onion, Mushroom Pappardelle with seasonal mushrooms and porcini broth, and the Grand Central Caviar Sandwich with bowfin caviar, egg, crème fraîche and herbs on pain de mie. A three-course prix fixe lunch is also available for $31.95 per person and includes a shared appetizer followed by individual entrée and dessert selections.

The restaurant has also added a nightly happy hour from 4 to 5 p.m. with $5 and $10 food and drink specials. Offerings include oysters on the half shell, butter-poached lobster rolls, tenderloin sliders with blue cheese fondue, deviled eggs and hummus crudité. Drinks include the bourbon-based Lost at Found, French 75, select wines, an alcohol-free Elderflower Spritz and local beers.

For evening performances, The Barn’s three-course Theater Dinner Menu is available nightly from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., with the final reservation at 6 p.m. Priced at $59.95 per person, dinner begins with a shared Little Gem Salad with creamy Dijon, Parmigiano Reggiano, pickled Vidalia onions, chopped egg, pepitas, Spanish white anchovies and bacon. Entrée choices include Pan-Seared Salmon, Za’atar Roasted Half Chicken or an 8-ounce Center Strip Steak for a $5 supplement, followed by carrot cake, ice cream or sorbet.
