Business Summary  what's this?
For four star French, try Carlos' in Highland Park. This is a great place. This place is moderately priced. It's been awarded the Winespectator Grand Award and Fodors Choice awards. This place features live music. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice an elegant atmosphere. This place features private rooms, a full bar, valet parking, and fine wines. This place is good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food nothing to brag about and consistently creative.
4.0 of 5 stars.

Carlos' is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Their food is spectacular and worth every penny that you pay for.
