- BBudvipChicago / Illinois •58 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoClearly has the most unique Mexican menu with a ton of variety you’ll ever experience. The support staff give you water as well as lots of chips and 2 types of salsa right away. Food quality is very good. Yet my lobster tostadas were not too flavorful. Their temperature was not hot neither, and extremely high priced for just two tostadas. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish very much. Offered excellent variety of margaritas. Both of ours were very flavorful. I got the North Shore. Our server was excellent. Yet, took awhile to get out margaritas. The kitchen delivers all food to table and took them forever to give us our tortilla soups. And he first brought them to the wrong table. I had to wave him down. Overall we enjoy going to Authentico, and we’ll go back.More infoAuthenticoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Lake Forest•4.6

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beautiful decor and stunning architecture, which perfectly set the mood for our special evening. The ambiance was enchanting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for our celebration. The food was absolutely incredible, showcasing exquisite flavors that left us wanting more. Every dish was beautifully presented and a true testament to the culinary artistry of the restaurant.

- JJanineChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe always enjoy Perry's... so we decided to try it for Thanksgiving and they had a Thanksgiving offer... My husband chose the Thanksgiving special and although he said it was fine.. He was disappointed in the taste and the quantity of the food for the price.. He said definitely when he wants a steak he would go to Perrys.. This was a less than stellar choice for Turkey.More infoPerry’s Steakhouse & Grille – Vernon HillsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Vernon Hills•4.7
