“Our first visit to Chicago and we discovered this beautiful restaurant! Service: 10/10, attentive, friendly, easy Food: 10/10 delicious, flavorful, just traditional flavored enough Ambiance/Atmosphere: beautiful 😍 We had Mousaka, tuna tartare, a pork skewer (don’t sleep on this!), roasted veg, Chilean sea bass with risotto, zucchini and feta fritters (easily my favorite thing!), fries with aioli, dead and butter, one of their potato spreads (with roe), and a strawberry cheesecake type dessert that was spectacular. Perfect patio, amazing meal. I wish we lived closer. Do yourself a favor and get here, at least for a drink and a snack on the patio!”
“Had a fantastic experience at Noema Restaurant. Beautiful inside the restaurant and the patio outside is a great place to spend the evening. We had the tzatziki spread and beet salad to start. My wife and I split the half chicken and braised rib as our entree. Ilias was a tremendous server. We will be back and we highly recommend Noema!”
