I'm considering Nacional 27 because I'm looking for a fun and vibrant atmosphere. Never been before. Anyone care to share their experience?

I thought it was good, not great. Obviously, that was a while ago, so take that comment with a grain of salt. If you go, please let us know how you like it. It's interesting that so many restaurants in the "fun/vibrant" category now seem to be those featuring Latin cuisine: Nacional 27 - www.nacional27.net Carnivale - www.carnivalechicago.com DeLaCosta - www.delacostachicago.com Cuatro - www.cuatro-chicago.com Wed May 16 14:30:27 -0700 2007 2575467 55363 nsxtasy 1 2575673 My fiance hosted a bachelorette party there about 8 months ago. Everyone had a great time, and they even said the food was pretty good (although I would suspect the atmosphere is better than the food). Wed May 16 15:15:03 -0700 2007 2575467 10521 jesteinf
