Best American Restaurants in Lake Forest

Perry's never disappoints. The service and food are always great. I decided to try something other than the pork chops and steak. I had the red fish, and it was excellent. The flavor and sauce were a very good combination. Our server checked on us at just the right times. Our only issue was that we were the first people in the restaurant and the hostess sat the next couple right beside us. Not sure why she couldn't have at least put one empty table between us for a more private experience. The restaurant was not even close to full by the time we finished, so it wasn't because of capacity.

5 Star: Service, Food, Ambience A wonderful Birthday lunch on a very cold day. 😊

We came up to Eddie Merlot’s last night to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my beautiful wife. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful evening with Sue & Antonio.  Eddie Merlots was as busy as I’ve ever seen it and yet the food came out on time and the service was fantastic! Sue & Antonio they never let you see them sweat!! Tim The general manager, stopped by just to make sure that our evening was meeting the standards. The hostess handed my wife, a beautiful rose, which she loved and cherished. Such a nice touch on Eddie Merlot’s part. I’m telling you you won’t go wrong if you go to Eddie Merlot’s and ask for Sue & Antonio. 

Amazing food. Had the chicken with risotto and it was amazing. It was a quiet nice atmosphere will come and go.

A GREAT dining experience! 1st off, I have to give praise to the SERVICE ! It was top notch from the moment we entered the door, to the meal, & to the checkout. We commented that every customer was receiving attention not only from the waiters but the bussing staff, & even the Maitre'd who would periodically move through the restaurant & check with customers! 2nd was the food. There were diverse choices for everyone. The appetizers were quite good (We had the meatballs with arugula in marinara) & sizeable. The entrees were prepared to perfection. "Francisco's Salmon' was awesome. We had Key Lime Pie for dessert - the best this side of Key West! 3rd was the drink menu. There were various good wine choices. We chose 2 of the 'House Cocktails'! The 'Paloma' & 'Arturo's French Martini' were both awesome! Finally, the ambience was comfortable. The noise level was moderate - a sign that everyone was enjoying the food and atmosphere. Scotty's on Sheridan was a great experience from start to finish!
