From The March 2005 issue of Chicago Magazine: "The folks behind north suburban Portofino Italian Bistro and Henry's Grille got a touch more ambitious with the new Opa! Estiatorio (950 Lakeview Pkwy., Vernon Hills; 847-968-4300). The 200-seat spot boasts a woodburning grill, a spit-roaster, and homey clay-pot cooking to mimic the small backyard ovens in Greece. The menu is carefully patterned after Greektown's best, which means dishes such as moschari--wood-grilled beef tenderloin kebab (pictured here; $15). And the loftish space has huge windows with a view of Bear Lake and its wooded paths. It ain't the Aegean; not that anyone seems to mind." - Jeff Ruby Chicago Magazine
