Not sure what to say about the Near West Side. As far as restaurants are concerned, you'll be HARD PRESSED to find a favorite. You'd have to spend a LOT of time sampling EVERYTHING they have to offer; from Greektown to Little Italy to the West Loop. ABSOLUTELY the most incredible food around |
Our TOP PICK!! Santorini Restaurant (In Greektown) 138 S. Halsted St. Telephone (312) 829-8820 Although a bit pricier than other Greek Restaurants, their seafood specialties and ambiance make the visit all worth while. They have quiet booths lining the restaurant with huge flowerpots. Santorini proves Greek food isn't just flaming cheese and gyros. Try the saganaki appetizer and of course, a traditional Greek salad. Move on the the grilled grouper served with the "Santorini sauce" ( lemon, oil and light oregano) or the pan fried orange roughy. Perfect for a VERY special evening! All Listings (please contact us here to let us know of any outdated or invalid information)
