Restaurants near Old School Forest Preserve

We were very impressed that the owner, Nick, was filling water glasses and visiting every table. He suggested an excellent wine. Food was top notch. Service was great. This was our first time and I did not realize that there was a bar in the main dining room . The noise level made it hard to visit. We had indicated on the OpenTable reservation that we were celebrating two anniversaries. Not sure why they ask if they don’t acknowledge the reason for your visit. We will return, but not on a Friday night!

We’ve dined the other Perry’s locations and had good experiences.  so we decided to try the Vernon Hills location, which is their newest location. Our waitress was outstanding. The food was good as usual. The pork chop special is outstanding. My wife had the surf and turf. She commented that the steak was not as flavorful as usual Caesar salad very good the beet salad Was ok it was loaded with cabbage leaves which gave it a little bit of a bitter taste seemed it was used as a filler. We usually go to the schaumburg location. Comparing the two restaurants I would say Schaumburg is better as far as the things that we ordered.

First timer at this lovely spot - exceptional service, excellent quality, and an overall superb dining experience in downtown Lake Forest. Will definitely return!

Thank you, we had a great evening. See you again soon.

MainStreet Social is a place to come with family, date night and after a long day at the office. Management and staff always make you feel welcome. From inventive cocktails. A refreshing glass of Pinot. Paves the way for a culinary treat. We had the skirt steak with Polenta and a medley sautéed peppers. The polenta is next level. Creamy and seasoned perfect. The steak seasoned perfectly and cooked to temperature. Main streets chefs are next level and consistent! Seasoning, temp and presentation are always meticulously crafted for perfection. The owners are always working the room. Engaging clientele. Making sure the finished product hits all the senses. Love this spot! A Libertyville gem! Definitely take a walk after dinner. It’s like vacationing in a European city!
