Modern Mediterranean cuisine
I have driven by this place a thousand times and finally went in! Finally! When my boyfriend asked me to run in and see what it's like the word that slipped out first was "zen". When walking in the atmosphere is very relaxed and yet classy. It's a bit dark in the atmosphere but with all kinds of mood lighting accenting it. There was a cute fountain when you first walk which made me initially think of a spa.
There is a counter when you walk in to either put in a take away order or to be sat in the dining room. The take away order area is set up like a hot dog joint with a menu board and glass cases, but the staff was very nice and helpful in instructing us for what we wanted.
We were sat next to the window by candlelight which was nice. The menu was very Mediterranean and it said Greek on it somewhere, so when I asked the server what kind of restaurant it was she said "modern Mediterranean" and it definitely was!!
The prices were great! We each got a massive savory crepe, hummus and a dessert crepe! The suggested crepes were named after cities around Europe which was cool and most all the desert crepes had Nutella! I will go back purely for dessert.
This is definitely a hidden gem in Chicago and I wish I had found it sooner!
