Unfortunately the owners don't get it. It wasn't concept that closed both restaurants, it was the quality of customer service. Boil it down to one word, abysmal!!!

Everyone has different experiences. We always liked both Red Star and Townhouse and had pretty decent service and food at both. RA fell down with both concepts because they never promoted their restaurants and never tried to be part of the community. That, and the fact that getting into that shopping center and parking are usually difficult.

Oh c'mon Folks.....ya can't have too many Italian restaurants......or mattress stores!

And FYI....We bought a full size bed for my 14 year old after pricing all 3 Deer field stores.....
And bought in Highland Park. (Hundreds less!)

.....last weekend.

Abysmal, sounds like the nickname for most of the stores in Downtown Deerfield! What a train wreck this town has become, want something good at a competitive price, you wont find
it here.

I'd prefer something casual and not ridiculously overpriced.... and hopefully, the new owners get rid of the upscale coal-mine motif.

This town really does need a Mexican restaurant. The old On the Border has sat vacant for 6+ years. It's the perfect set up for a Mexican restaurant. Rumor was that a Portillo's was supposed to go in there a few years ago and the village vetoed that the day before Portillo's was going to purchase the building. I have no clue if that is true though. Just heard from multiple sources.

Try to get some fried chicken with 5 miles of here, gotta go to little Red Hen in Glencoe!

While we are on the subject that the place never looked open and the parking sucks even if you want to run into Starbucks...can we bring up the discussion that another place in Deerbrook Mall shut apparent today...Bally's which was sold to LA Fitness in January....ummmm....Deerfield Village Board what the f is going on?

The owner of Deerbrook is probably not renewing leases while they get ready to "renovate" the center. The upside to this would be less locker thefts to report in the Police Blotter.

I like Trax was there with a group tonight. The place is busy good food (new menu) Sat outside service was good. My company goes there a lot.

LA Fitness decided to close that location...had nothing to do with Deerfield. They also closed the Schaumburg LA Fitness across from Woodfield mall (meachum) the same day.

Who didn't know that modelling Deerfield's Downtown after Highland Parks wouldn't worK? Oh, did I call the intersection of Deerfield and Waukegan Rds. "Downtown" ? What about a restaurant that dosn't extract $50.00 for 2 for non-exceptional food? I miss the restaurants that have left for the grander plan. We still miss Bakers Square, What's Cooking, and the restaurant that occupied the space in the strip mall on corner of Deerfield and Waukegan before Deerfield's grand plan to recreate something that worked.
