My first time dining in and having dinner at Prasino was so amazing that I ended up going back the following morning for breakfast, since I saw they had some unique morning dishes. Everything I had for both breakfast and dinner just seemed so extra flavorful, so freshly prepared, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, in both arrangement and vivid color. Prasino's meals stimulate all of your senses, and I really appreciated that awakening!

𝔻𝕀ℕℕ𝔼ℝ: To my knowledge, I believe this is the only place in Downtown La Grange that serves saganaki (it is on their dinner menu only, not lunch). Although they said the fire dept will not allow them to flame it tableside due to the low wooden ceiling, it was just as flavorful. Their dinner menu has other adventurous starters like the sous vide octopus salad, as well as your favorites like a burger, which comes with your choice of roasted potatoes or pasta (which FYI had peas in it).

𝔻ℝ𝕀ℕ𝕂𝕊: There is a good size menu of fun cocktails like In the Violet Hour, which is Violette liqueur of a pretty purple shade, garnished with a complimenting lime. Not to mention there is even more options of wonderful teas, smoothies, and healthy juices, like the Wickedly Green juice. (Note: the menu says fresh juices are available til 4:30, I believe). However, if you decide to just stick with water, we both noticed how pure tasting the complimentary drinking water was, so I am sure it must be filtered water.

𝔹ℝ𝔼𝔸𝕂𝔽𝔸𝕊𝕋: Breakfast also has unique items to try like pretzel fresh toast, the short rib skillet, and unique variations of Eggs Benedict, like one with crab cakes. Plus, breakfast is available later in the day, until 2:30p.m. I think the menu said.

I decided on the Paris Benedict, which was unlike any Eggs Benedict I have ever had – and that's saying something, since Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast and I try it every place that has it, everywhere I travel! It was a real good, thick cut of ham with brie cheese and truffle Hollandaise on a soft butter croissant, topped, of course, with 2 poached eggs, which were the most vibrant sunny tone of yellow I have ever seen. That was definitely a taste combination I have never had before, and my tastebuds appreciated the new flavorful experience! The included roasted potatoes were very tasty as well.

𝔸𝕋𝕄𝕆𝕊ℙℍ𝔼ℝ𝔼: It's a narrow restaurant but very long and spacious. There are booths on the side opposite the windows that are separated between by a wooden wall up to the ceiling, so they feel out of the way and private in a sense. It's a great spot for a conversation, but also to comfortably dine solo. In warm weather, outdoor tables with umbrellas extend the full length of the building. Lastly, the staff are not just friendly but also extra polite in their ways.

Prasino quickly became one of my new restaurant favorites, and I am willing to bet it will yours, too! I cannot believe I waited so long to try it. Don't make the same mistake, and go today! 😉
