About this business

Brought to you by the Lettuce Entertain You restaurant chain, Nacional 27 serves up spicy, Latin American cuisine. More specifically, the menu is "Nuevo Latino," with recipes collected together to represent 27 Central and South American countries. The dining area is spacious and dimly lit, though sunlight flows in through the draperies lending a diffused glow. The curtains and pillars throughout the room lend an air of relaxed opulence. Meat and chicken dishes are among the most expensive, and the tastiest. Try the ropa viej... read more

ok food, very slow service! – I went for the first time on a saturday night around 6:30. We couldn't get reservations, but they were able to seat us in the lounge area....which was very comfortable and trendy. Our food came out extremely fast but every time we ordered a drink it took at least 20 minutes....our coffee arrived well after our deserts were finished....and need I say, my glass of wine that I had ordered while we were still eating our meal came along with the coffee. The food was "ok" for such an international res... read more

Mojito, anyone? – The mojitios here are bananas, especially the pomegranite. The waiters know their stuff backwards and forwards and have great recommendations. The food was average, decor was hip, and the vibe was nice. Worth a look.

Pumpkins and Pomegranite – Wow, wow and wow... I see so many mediocre reviews in here, and then a few fantastic ones as well. Add this one to the "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" pile! Music: Relaxing (during dinner.. around 7:00) but not droaning ... you know, because some places play stuff that act as a catalyst to that "I feel as tired as I do after eating Thanksgiving dinner" feeling.... but not this place. Latin-house/bossa nova vibes set the stage wonderfully. Appetizers: The pumpkin croquetes or something along those lines (can't... read more

QUe rico! – I went to Nacional with my boyfriend. The food was excellent, though he complained he didn't get enough. They had a cuban band. The ambience was romantic. I would go again.

Overrated - below average food – My wife and I were there recently to have tapas. None of the dishes were satisfactory, and a few of them we actually decided not to eat. Our server was pleasant and helpful though. I am very surprised that people have been rating National 27 with high marks on food. I have not been there for the salsa dancing, so I cannot comment on that; Perhaps that is why the restaurant has receive such high marks. For your money, and for your enjoyment, go for anything else. There are many other restauran... read more

Drinks only...dissappointing dinner – I had enjoyed N27 for drinks and music so I decided to give them a try for Valentines Day dinner. Instead of live music, they played latin pop too loud for the number of people. The lighting was like a dentist's office and the decor wasn't any better. My girlfriend caught her heel on one of a million cracks in the floor. Luckily I was there to catch her as I pulled out her (plastic) chair since the host didn't bother. I've seen fancier school cafeterias. The staff were pleasant but poorl... read more

No customer Srvc – I called in advance to book a party for up to 16 ppl. The person who answered the phone would not take my reservation and I was told leave a VM for someone else. After several days of calling and sending an email, I finally reached someone, tried again to make a reservation only to find out that their party menu was $36 pp for food only and they were already booked. Very irresponsible and Lazy of Nacional to treat potential customers that way.

A River North crowd eats, drinks and merengues the night away at this sexy Latin restaurant. – Warm earth tones, sensuous Latin music and low amber lighting make for a sultry South Beach atmosphere. Couples get close in booths and watch weekend salsa dancers strut their stuff. The Nuevo Latino menu rounds up the best of 27 different Latin American cuisines. Tapas like chicken arepas and grilled shrimp adobado make for delicious nibbling. With two tantalizing appetizer platters starring on the menu (one heaped with empanadas ... read more
