    Great restaurant and good ambiance. A bit on the pricey side ($50+/plate), but well worth it if you want a finer dining experience or celebrating something without having to deal with downtown Chicago parking. Will definitely go back food, service, adult beverages all on point.

    My wife had been to the gallery in Chicago and told me Inwould like it. I was a bit dismissive. Have to say the food was really tasty. Had the fried artichokes, fantastic. Had the new fried chicken sandwich, as good as I’ve hade. Subtle and tasty. Butterscotch crème brûlée was great as well. Server Katie was very polite and ambiance was relaxing and classy.

    Ate Thanksgiving dinner at Perry’s and my family was beyond impressed! Everything from the cocktails to the appetizers to our main courses and sides was delicious. Standouts were the ribeye, scallops appetizer, pork skewer appetizer and Paloma cocktail. Anthony was a phenomenal server and paced our meal out impeccably. Can’t wait to come back to try more delicious bites and cocktails at Perry’s!

    This had nothing to do with management, but there was a very young girl who yelled at the top of her voice when speaking. The three of us diners all have hearing aids. We had difficulty communicating.

    We celebrated our Thanksgiving at Coopershawk. Everything was perfect except the way in. We were coming from the east and had a hard time figuring out how to get to the restaurant. We made some mistakes and had to try two times before we actually found the parking lot. We could have had a terrible accident. I won't be coming back myself with friends as it is too tricky for me to negotiate. I am sorry because we really liked everything. We have been to the Oak Park Coopershawk but it is farther away. Also Schamburg is too far. So sadly we probably won't be back.
