The food is delicious and the outdoor seating is great now that COVID is surging again.

I made a reservation for 5 people and was placed at a tiny 4 person table. I Asked if we could move to a larger round table that was open, but were not allowed to because there was another reservation coming and they said they’d have to move us in an hour. They then told us it’s recommended to order 2 small plates per person and to share.

We had almond garlic hummus, eggplant dip, fried Brussels sprouts (disappointing), felafel (so so), assorted mushroom kabobs (best dish but expensive). Creative but overpriced.

The atmosphere and the way the dishes look is pretty chic! We got the Japanese eggplant which is so good. Lamb ragu also great! Really nice combination of the flavors from lamb, spice and pita bread. I loved the braised short rib except the mushroom is a bit weird (feels like if substitute with a different vegetable would enhance the dish). Overall speaking really nice dining experience.

Nice Mediterranean/Greek restaurant. A place to go in Chicago
