The Barn Steakhouse - Highland Park

Iconic/NotableDowntown Highland Park · Steakhouse Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1900 First St, Highland Park, IL 60035

The Barn Steakhouse rode into downtown Highland Park in 2026 as restaurateur Amy Morton's second location, expanding the concept out from its Evanston flagship under a 10-year lease.

$$$
Amy Morton's 2026 second Barn Steakhouse location in downtown Highland Park — heritage black Angus steaks, a Grand Central caviar sandwich, and a hidden 25-seat speakeasy (1898) down a cobblestone alley.

Morton — daughter of Arnie Morton, who built Morton's The Steakhouse into a national name — runs this one as a tribute: a meat-centric supper club built around heritage black Angus steaks, with Culinary Director Russell Kook putting real signature dishes on the menu, like a Grand Central caviar sandwich and a Zabar-roasted half chicken that reads more New York deli-meets-steakhouse than standard chophouse fare. The main room seats about 80 under exposed brick, weathered wood, and leather, built to feel like a classic supper club rather than a corporate chain outpost.

The real secret is down a cobblestone alley behind an unmarked door: 1898, a 25-seat speakeasy opening alongside the main restaurant. It's a genuinely ambitious, newsworthy opening for downtown Highland Park — about 25 local jobs and a real sense of occasion baked in from day one.
