Yasemi, A Modern Mediterranean Restaurant
Chris Eyo · 366 Google reviewsYasemi, A Modern Mediterranean Restaurant — high-caliber mediterranean in River North. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own. Cami Guarda: "The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and we also loved the beet burrata salad"

“Went here on my lunch break and it was so delicious and fresh! Kept me full but also not bloated for the rest of my workday which is a hard feat for me lol. Definitely going back!!”
“Clean, professional service paired with an elegant atmosphere made for an amazing experience. The food was absolutely 🔥! I ordered the crispy potatoes and the beef kofta, which came with a spicy sauce that was incredibly flavorful, while the beef itself was perfectly tender. I also really appreciated how attentive the staff was, constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Special shoutout to Sirena for being such a pleasant and welcoming host. Definitely looking forward to coming back!”
“I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Yasemi. Our waiter Jonata was very attentive, patient, and helpful with food/alcoholic beverages choices. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day and Jonata gave us a lil sum sum ❤️”

“Eric and Carlos were very welcoming, we enjoyed our time and shared a few laughs. Food was great, would definitely recommend!”
“BLEW MY MIND!!! This happy hour is going straight into the weekly rotation. The flavors were deep and bold, I was really shocked. The cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed the blood orange Paloma and kiwi kefi. 10/10 on both. The oysters were some of the best I’ve had . The tajin comes through very nicely. After that came the beef kofta, cheese pie, and crispy potatoes. The beef and potatoes were exquisite but what really rocked my tongue was the cheese pie. It was so good… we ordered another set 😭😭😭 that was my favorite part of the meal. The hummus was also delicious. Pretty big size so we ordered some more pita. Overall an incredibly strong HH menu for the price. And bonus points for being on inKind. I’ll be back! Our incredible waitress Alexa needed a FAT raise!!!!!”
“This a good Mediterranean restaurant with a wide variety of Mediterranean cuisine. The place is prominent with indoor and outdoor seating. The place cosy comfortable and is a fine dining restaurant. We went there for one of our birthday and they served cake as complimentary.”
