My wife and I went to this restaurant based on the reviews on Tripadvisor and it lives up to its reputation. The food, wine, and service are all exceptional. Make sure that you ask for Greg to be your waiter. He made our experience extra special and paid attention to every detail of our meal. We will be back many... more

Perennial is not within walking distance of the loop. It is in Old Town and near Lincoln Park, so there are many reasons to be in the neighborhood. But, if you are staying downtown on business or pleasure, I'd recommend a cab trip to this restaurant. We visited it as part of a package with Second City and the restaurant... more

He eats out almost every night for work and he loved this place so much that he took business associates there a few days later. The corn soup was out of this world. The only thing that was lacking was the... more

Had a great dinner at Perennial last week. Service was superb and the food was delicious, especially the sweet corn soup. The best part of the meal was Perennial's take on cheesecake: raspberry custard with graham cracker ice cream and cream cheese foam. more

Discovered it on a walk-by while visiting friends down the block, and booked despite their warning that it's VERY pricey. We found it expensive only in comparison with the typical Old Town neighborhood bistro. Perennial stands on its own, and is pretty much worth the price. Interesting, innovative combinations in the apps and mains, and presented exquisitely in well-controlled portions.... more

Food was a nice mix of ingredients but nothing over seasoned or heavy. Lyonaise salad was one of the best I have had. Portions are just right. I wasn't too full until the hazelnut crunch dessert. Very nice and effecient service. Easy atmosphere-not stuffy at all. Will definetely go again. more
