Chrissoulas - Libertyville Restaurant: Authentic Greek Dining with a Cozy, Welcoming Vibe

We went for a birthday dinner and tried a bit of everything. Everyone loved the saganaki and said it was the best they’ve ever had. I love Greek restaurants and my family enjoyed this experience and had a nice time. The staff was extremely accommodating with the reservations and the service. They made a special salad for my daughter since she is a picky eater. It was just a nice friendly vibe and the food was great. We enjoyed it, so thanks for making the night memorable.

W-O-W. Being from Iowa, we don’t have a lot of great Mediterranean or Greek options so I was really excited to try this spot after several people recommended it to me while visiting family back home. I cannot say enough good things. This place absolutely delivered. Impossible for a foodie to decide what to get with all the incredible options, but luckily we tried many things! Have to give a shout out to our waitress who was very familiar with their menu and ingredients in the dishes. Love the vegetarian options. 100% will come back and try to eat my way through their menu. Note: limited parking and reservations are absolutely necessary, especially on the weekend. Favorite dishes: Moussaka, Watermelon Cucumber Salad, and Shrimp Ceviche (appetizer special that night)

We liked this place for our date night. We had the ceviche that was a special, the grilled octopus and pastitsio..but the best was the bread pudding dessert. That was superb! Our waiter was also very lively and friendly, we really liked him.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chrissoulas, a Greek restaurant that left me with mixed feelings about my experience. As soon as we walked in, we were promptly seated, which was a positive start to the evening. The overall ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a delightful meal. Let's start with the food. The watermelon ceviche was a standout dish that we thoroughly enjoyed. The combination of fresh watermelon and tangy flavors created a refreshing and unique taste. However, we were disappointed by the portion of shrimp in the ceviche, as it was quite skimpy. While the dish itself was delicious, the lack of shrimp left us wanting more. We also tried the Saganaki, which is essentially a slab of deep fried cheese that comes to the table flaming… It was a pretty cool experience, and the cheese had a really good crispy crust, but it was fried cheese at the end of the day. On the other hand, the antipasto at Chrissoulas was simply phenomenal. It exceeded my expectations and can easily be ranked as one of the best antipastos I have ever had. The variety of flavors, textures, and high-quality ingredients made it a true delight for the taste buds. Moving on to the drinks, we were pleased with the selection and found them to be delicious. The restaurant did not disappoint in this department, offering a range of refreshing and flavorful beverages that complemented our meal perfectly. We finished our meal with the bread pudding, which we were surprised at the presentation, it was a great one, but not your traditional bread pudding they deep fry a slab of bread pudding, and top it with ice cream. It was delicious but a little awkward to eat Unfortunately, the service fell short of our expectations. While our waiter was competent in his duties, he lacked a welcoming demeanor. As one of the last groups in the restaurant, it seemed as though the staff forgot we were there towards the end of the evening. We experienced prolonged waiting times of around 10 to 15 minutes between check-ins at our table. Additionally, the loud music and playful behavior from the kitchen became disruptive and somewhat intrusive to our dining experience, especially towards the end of the night. Despite these shortcomings, our overall visit to Chrissoulas was a good one, primarily due to the great food. The waiter, although not very welcoming, was pleasant enough. However, the lack of attention towards the end of the evening and the noisy atmosphere from the kitchen did detract from our overall enjoyment. If you're seeking a Greek restaurant with a welcoming ambiance and impressive antipasto, Chrissoulas may be worth a visit.

Hosted a baby shower at this wonderful, cozy venue and couldn't be more pleased! Nick and his staff were incredibly accommodating, helpful and professional! We were able to decorate, and the food was delicious! (When women go back for seconds, that's a good sign! LOL) The relaxed setting made it difficult for guests to leave when the time was up! Thank you for making the memory even more special than it already was!

Don’t know where to even start wow! Everything was fantastic. Came here with a friend and we both enjoyed the food and drinks very much. Huge portions too I was surprised. We ordered the Chrissoulas Greek Salad to start off and it was so good. So much better than your traditional Greek salad because this one didn’t come with capers and I really can’t stand capers in my salad anyways. We also ordered the pastitsio and the Chrissoulas chicken to share and both were absolutely delicious and very flavorful. Need to come back and try other items on their menu. Will need to try their dessert next time, so will definitely be back again soon!

This was a great spot. It was a word of mouth recommendation, and it totally delivered. The menu Mediterranean with an emphasis on Greek. I ordered the Lamb Lollipops and the Gyro Plate with a Jack and Diet Coke. Nothing to complain about. Simply delicious. The staff was very friendly and the owner came by to ask what I thought of the meal. Looking for something to complain about...maybe parking But honestly even that wasn't bad. I walked a block to get there. Would for sure recommend this spot, and when people come visit this is where I'm going to take them.

My first visit to Chrissoulas was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding. We kicked off with an Espresso Martini, just the pick-me-up I needed. The Greek Salad had alot of feta, my favorite part! The Pastitchio was generously portioned and delightful. As for Chrissoulas Chicken, it was not only esthetically pleasing but also incredibly tasty. I'll definitely be returning. Amazing job to the team at Chrissoulas restaurant!
