Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Hermosa

Wonderful server delicious food and fun atmosphere - as it got busy if got on the loud side which was tolerable for me but might’ve been less so for my parents if I had brought them with me so it worked out that I hadn’t - I can understand why it’s a popular place and not much they can do about the noise when you get a few big happy parties arriving at the same time - lots of birthdays celebrations besides my own - pretty awesome they don’t go over the top the sparkles last just the right amount of time per person to keep it fun anytime they bring that to any table.

The middle eastern menu is So delicious. Staff was attentive and wine wise. I always leave ABA happy. Minor feedback: I wish the system for delivering food and drinks to the table was smoother. Food came out before cocktails. We had to ask to box food before the next course. Wine came out slowly.

Absolutely delicious food, great service, lovely ambience. The music was a little loud so quite hard to have a conversation at the table but that’s just our preference! We can’t wait to come back

We ordered Thanksgiving pies for pickup. The pies were delicious - we got the Chocolate Halva and the Apple pie. Staff responded super quickly to questions I had checking about allergens, since I forgot to ask when I picked up the pies.

Due to a glut of options, there are few places in Chicago that spark the “when are we coming back?” conversation before the main course is finished. This is one of those places. The dishes were comfortable yet complex, making you realize, there’s a talent-level in the kitchen that makes them impossible to replicate. Each bite from first course through dessert was exceptional, which is a feat considering we were last seating on a Tuesday night. What made the experience was the service. Lauren S. was welcoming and informative without being pushy. She deftly answered all of our questions that felt like she was guiding us through the menu based on her expertise not her opinion. This included steering us away from certain dishes when she understood our flavor profiles, and explaining things without ruining the surprise. Her attention to little things without feeling crowded made us realize what front of house talent does to heighten the experience. The only knock was the nitty-picky things on the space. The bathroom was a bit disheveled, there was a crud on the handle of a fork (nothing on the tongs, I checked before using it). Extremely minor unless you’re judging for Micheline stars. Simply put, where it matters everything is well thought out from concept to execution. If you can get in, it’s an absolute no-brainer.
