Restaurants near Melrose Park

Had dinner here with my wife and friends. This is an outstanding restaurant. The service was exceptional, the food was very well prepared and the drink/spirits options were plentiful. The ambiance could be a bit more ‘intimate,’ but the noise levels were acceptable and distance between seating areas was reasonable. I felt the pricing was just very slightly high, but, overall a very good experience which I would recommend.

We went here for V-Day and it was really busy, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated even though we were running 10 minutes late... with that being said our overall experience was great! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly! My wife liked the Oysters and the Snapper. This place is great for an event or special occasion but is definitely a femine atmosphere.

I hope this place stays around longer than el teimpo , Ninfas , Lupe’s etc. this place is pure perfection. I have been 3xs already. Blanco sangria is my favorite ! The margaritas are amazing. My favorite appetizer is the arepas. We’ve had a few plates. All so yummy. I mean last night we had salads. I’m convinced no one can do a tasty salad like Mexican sugar. Everyone do yourself a favor and try this place.

We had four different dishes (two steaks and two types of fish. ALL were delicious. I really don’t think you could find anything that wasn’t outstanding. The one thing I would change is the noise level. They might refer to it as energetic, I thought it was a little too loud. Made it necessary to speak louder and it seemed like a competition. No a huge problem but not a quiet romantic dinner. A matter of taste. Great experience.

Love the food and the folks at Sao Lao - always a delight
