    Garrett our waiter was welcoming, friendly, awesome service. Happy Hour martinis were great. Fried ravioli was delicious, and the shrimp ceviche was really excellent. Steak tacos out of this world. Surprised to see it pretty empty on. Wednesday night. Decor is cute and fun and flashy. Try it! Great

    What a hidden gem! In the past year I've needed to be in Chicago about once every couple of months. I'm always looking for something new to try. I'm typically in the Grant Park area but when doing some research, I randomly found this "newer" place with amazing reviews. I was there on Saturday 03/29 at 5:30 and the place was empty. I never post food pics but couldn't help but to do it on this occasion. The food and drinks were top notch! Archie (waiter) and Garrett (bartender) were also top notch! There was a manager that was awesome too but I unfortunately didn't catch his name. Even though this is a bit of a drive from my Grant Park area, I 100% will be going back to La Perla on my upcoming visits! Well done everyone...keep working on getting the word out!
    La Perla ChicagoResponded on April 6, 2025
    Hi David, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so happy you discovered La Perla and had such a fantastic experience. Archie, Garrett, and the rest of our team will be thrilled to hear your compliments! We’re also glad that the food and drinks impressed you enough to snap a photo – we love when our guests are excited to share their experience! We truly appreciate your support, and we can’t wait to welcome you back during your future visits to Chicago. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback and for spreading the word about us. We’ll be ready to serve you whenever you’re in the area! Cheers! La Perla
