- CChristopherVIPEdinburgh/Midlothian •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA very quiet lunchtime on Presidents Day. I came for my favourite Fusilli. My first couple of bites were quite spicy (I don't recall it being as spicy on previous occasions) and I began to choke. Staff were very helpful, offered to replace with a less spicy version but I didn't like the thought of food being wasted. My cough settled down, I enjoyed the Fusilli as I always do (resolved to ask for less spicy next time). They brought me a second glass of wine on the house so that solved everything. This is a VERY CLASSY restaurant with tasty and interesting food. I come every year in February and always visit Acanto ....More infoAcantoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.8
- CChandlerChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWas very excited to try this spot! We got the Wagyu steakhouse set (honestly for the price it wasn’t worth it, it was very tasty but I could’ve easily eaten it by myself and not shared with my date (Im 29F)) thankfully we ordered a lot of things to be able to try the menu! Oysters were FANTASTIC very fresh & tasty. I’d pass on the egg soufflé really just a soft scramble, fairly basic but a large servicing (could be a good breakfast as a lil steak & eggs ensemble). They had a special for valentines which was a sweet potato hash with pork belly which was delightful but a fairly small serving. Drinks were good, I got a basic gin martini but it was made to perfection, my date got the ‘perilla in Oaxaca’ it was tasty but a bit sweet for our liking. The dishes that stole the show… Korean fried chicken.. cooked to absolute perfection! Not too greasy, amazing crunch & the soy garlic glaze was phenomenal (huge serving too) & lastly the kimchi fried rice was divine. The blue cheese leveled up the dish exceptionally well. I 11/10 recommend those dishes if you’re going! We left comfortably full with leftovers.More infoPERILLA steakhouse - RiverwalkPrice: Very Expensive• Korean• Downtown / Loop•4.6
