What People Are Saying About Pegasus

Citysearch
The Scene – The light, airy dining room glows with murals of vivid blue seas and color-dotted white buildings. But, when the weather cooperates, Pegasus' main attraction is its rooftop patio, which can accommodate more than 150 diners. The patio's 30-item menu is limited to mezedakia (Greek appetizers), sandwiches and salads, but the eastward view of the city is a worthy compromise. – – The Food – Fine lamb dishes, seafood and Greek classics like pastitsio, gyros, moussaka. Top meze choices include grilled octopus and soutzoukia--large oval-shaped meatballs spiced with…
One of my new favorites!

After finding this place online we decided to try it out... boy I'm glad we did! The food was excellent! The lamb was very tender and the pasta tasted like it had just been made! The staff was veeery friendly and the service was excellent (they are also very understanding if you cannot pronounce everything on the menu). We had a reservation on a saturday night but from the looks of the place you really don't need one as just a couple... maybe as a large group... The waitress did forget our appatizer but that was no big deal as they had alot of large groups in there that night... It was more than made up for in the dinners, they came out fast and were just the right amount of food... The prices could also not be beat either... 2 dinners, glass of wine (from a vary ample wine list), and a dessert (which was excellent!) for under 50 bucks! After having an experience like this I would greratly reccommend Pegasus to anybody greek or not wanting to try some very good food at a very reasonable price! Anybody who is downtown and wants to try greek for the first time... go here, you will not be dissapointed!
- Pros: Excellent food, Excellent service, Excellent prices
Wonderful Restaurant!

We had very high expections for this restaurant. I had promised my daughter that we would eat at the Pegasus on our next trip to Chicago. That was six years ago. In all she has waited for 10 years to eat there.
We could not have been more pleased with the food, the service and the atmosphere. It was worth the wait! It was my daughter's twenty fifth birthday, so we flew to Chicago mainly to eat at this restaurant and to do some shopping. The stakes were high but they passed on all accounts. The prices were very reasonable too! We both recommend the lamb. It melts in your mouth! We will come back to this restaurant and recommend it to anyone going to Chicago.
- Pros: The food is great but it is also artistically placed on your plate. Presentation was very nice.
- Cons: None
Poor vegetarian options, service
by ehu199
This restaurant is not a good choice for vegetarians. The menu does not always indicate that an entree contains meat. More annoyingly, even when asked, the wait staff may not tell you, either. Before ordering an entree salad topped with stuffed grape leaves, I asked our waiter whether it contained meat or fish, to which he answered "no." However, the grape leaves were stuffed with meat. The waiter, rather than apologizing for the error, at first declined to do anything to remedy the situation, saying only that the grape leaves were "traditional style."
After I asked a second time, the waiter agreed to replace the entree salad with a very small appetizer salad. Not much of a meal.
- Pros: ample seating
- Cons: undisclosed meat, surly wait staff
