- KKenniseChicago / Illinois •14 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agothe noise level was obnoxious. the DJ had a practically empty restaurant and she played loud techno music with willful disregard for the impact on a mostly empty restaurant and a few tables of guests trying to enjoy DELICIOUS food. The space is beautiful. The food is delicious though I found the fish stew disappointedly oily and less enjoyable than I hoped. I will return and recommend it BUT a bit of "reading the room" is indicated. She is the only person who seemed to enjoy her loud musicMore infoEliaPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Bucktown / Wicker Park•4.5

- BBronwynNew Mexico •33 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOur server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.More infoTaximPrice: Moderate• Greek• Bucktown / Wicker Park•4.5

The vindaloo was not spicy so if you like spice we recommend asking for more. Lots of wonderful spices and flavors.More infoKAMA – Wicker ParkPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Indian• Bucktown / Wicker Park•4.6
