Cafe Pyrenees - Libertyville, IL

We have been going to this restaurant since they first opened in 1990 in Vernon Hills, IL. They have sinced moved to Libertyville into a larger space. Af first I didn't like the new place - I thought they had expanded too fast. It seemed more casual than before and I thought the service really suffered.

Now I really feel that they have their act together and I really like the feel of the restaurant now. You can go in jeans and really feel comfortable.

Mainly their food is French influenced. My favorite thing about this restaurant is their creativeness. They have theme nights, like Tapas on Thursday or a night for crepes. They also have Wild Wine Wednesday where a specific brand of wine will be $3 per glass or $8 per bottle. How can you beat that!

Today we went because it was Wednesday and we were happy to discover it was March Madness. Everything on the regular menu was 50% off. So, not only can you have wine for $3, your meal is 50% off! We were so excited because this economy has forced us to eat at home more and this made it very affordable.

You can always count on a great fish special each night. It's a little pricey, but very good.

This is definitely a restaurant you should try.
