Grille No. 43All Around Good ExperienceWe have eaten dinner at Grille 43 before, but this was my first time for lunch. We had ten in our party - a graduation celebration for my daughter and her best friend. Our server was excellent and brought our drinks immediately. The food was TASTY - and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. I had one of the specials - crabcake burger - and it was excellent. Our friends had never eaten at Grille 43 before and said they definitely would return...6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious!Wonderful variety on menu and fabulous specials.

Love Grille 43!6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMA fine gem in the suburbs.A fine gem in the suburbs. You would thing you were dining in a higih end Chicago restaurant.
That is how good the food is. It is small, quiet and definitely a place you would revisit.
Drinks are superb as well. Can't say enough good things about this establishment.
We are lucky to have here in Lake Bluff.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMa great place for a Fridaya great place for a Friday night

Love the baja fish tacos and mushroom flatbread, but the thai chicken flatbread was too dry.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit toThis was our first visit to Grille 43. Good menu with something for everyone, and some interesting specials also. Food was very good, and service was excellent. Very noisy, making it a bit hard to carry on conversations, but we did anticipate that since it was Friday night. We will definitely be back for another visit soon.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMy New Favorite Place (By Far)Absolutely loved the place. We split a couple of dishes so we were able to taste more than 1 main course. We started with the Calamari which I challenge anyone to find better some place else. We were told to try the drunken shrimp and they were absolutely right on target.
We then moved onto our main courses which were absolutely fantastic. Not only was the fish special tasty and moist but the presentation was perfect.
We also had the shrimp Caesar salad. I have never had grilled lettuce before and was a bit skeptical. I don't think I can go back without getting it again. It was that good.
The place was crowded but it was fun and exciting. People were have a great time. The staff was there at a drop of a hat.

Great service. Pork shank was amazing.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMSpectacular sea bass!We were there with friends and had a fine meal. Our server was very attentive. The Chilean sea bass preparation with black rice and peas is one of the best preparation I have ever had! Excellent fried calamari recipe.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGrille 43 was a great in-betweenGrille 43 was a great in-between spot to meet our friends coming down from Milwaukee. It was easy to find off the expressway and the food was very tasty. The sea bass was exceptional as was the steak salad and rib eyes (per our guests). There is a wide range of menu items to satisfy most people. Its not a very big place but was able to accommodate our group of 8 and serve us attentively. It was our first visit but another friend recommended it who lives in the area.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat resturant with awesomeGreat resturant with awesome food. Parking to tight and can be complicated3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGrille 43 Salad was good,Grille 43 Salad was good, and we repeated to order the margherita flat bread. Very delicious.2/16/2013 12:00:00 AMReturned for lunch! This time,Returned for lunch! This time, we ordered Drunken Shrimp, Margherita Flatbread, and Grille 43 Salad. All were VERY tasty. Drunken Shrimp was a bit heavy, but very well made. Just wished if the chef absorbed the oil come out from bacon. (I know some people love that part though.) Flatbread was excellent. Will go back there again!2/9/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was a pleasant surpriseIt was a pleasant surprise to find this place at a location where you would never expect such great ambiance and/or food. We went there for a quick lunch on our way home. We picked the place, to be honest, only because it was exactly on our way home..... Well, the restaurant had more patrons than we thought. Food was good! We will have two more occasions that we need to take that route back home, so we have already decided to go visit there again. I had fish taco; my boyfriend had Grille's Salad. He said he would order the same salad again. Next time, I will try out something else. Egg Benedict could be the one.1/26/2013 12:00:00 AM
