Libertad

We went to this restaurant on a whim with friends and the service was stellar.  The bartender was engaged with our every need.  The food is listed as small plates but the portions are very very generous.  We were able to share and mix and match.  If you live nearby this place is definitely worth a visit.  Skimpy on the bourbon pour, but the specialty cocktails are clever and original.  After having visited Spain and Mexico, this is an upscale blend of both cultures leaning more in the direction of traditional high end Spanish style tapas.  Very cute intimate environment as well.  The caramel desert is a must try as well.

Everything was perfect on our recent visit to Libertad. First time here, and I can't wait to go back. Service was attentive, from the server to the busboy. The food was excellent! We ordered the hummus, salmon, asada skirt steak and the apple cobbler. Without a doubt, probably the best hummus ever! It has a touch of heat that was a perfect touch.  Serving sizes are on the lines of tapas/small dishes that can be shared.  Each dish could probably feed 2-4 individuals, depending on how hungry you are.  The restaurant is pretty small and cozy.  Kitchen is open to the dining room.  I'm so happy we found this top notch restaurant in downtown Skokie.

Had brunch there. It was delicious. Steak with chimichurri sauce , eggs & fried potatoes with a fruit/yogurt smoothie. That's just an example. I will be back soon. Loved it!!!
