- SSuni123San Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLoved the ambiance and the food was amazing. The service staff was very accommodating. Ordered smoky garlic hummus which was so delicious, charred eggplant,avocado & sweet pea spreads with soft warm pita’s. For hot Mezza we got crispy potatoes, they were so crispy and not greasy at all, and the truffle baked ziti was delicious. For kabobs, we got grilled cauliflower which was also very good.More infoAba - ChicagoPrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• West Loop•4.8
- SSSaritaSouthSidevipChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis place is probably in my top 3 favorite restaurants. If you haven’t tried the chicharron you MUST! It’s the most flavorful tender and yet crispy pork I’ve ever had, like crazy delicious. Sometimes my friend and I have dreamt about the chicharron. Their ceviche is amazing!!! Perfect balance of citrus and salt and so fresh. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful whether you go for lunch or dinner. It’s like a secret garden in the sky. And it has a pool with amazing frozen drinks. It’s fun to come to any time of day. The service was very solid. The people we’re friendly, accurate, prompt, not overbearing or pushy. They brought food and drinks at a nice pace. Definitely recommend!More infoCabra - ChicagoPrice: Expensive• Peruvian• West Loop•4.6
