Getting there

A word from Nia Mediterranean

Featuring contemporary small plates of the Mediterranean in the heart of "Restaurant Row" located in the West Loop. Nia's warm rich reds and soft yellows spill out of the drapes of her main room in to her Mediterranean inspired party room and onto to a flowered patio (40+ seats)... alfresco that… holds the true touch of the region. Chef prepares simple luscious fare, including sauteed wild mushrooms, eggplant involtini, lamb chops, baby octopus, diver scallops, lamb & feta meatballs, glazed pork tenderloin, and an array of fresh salads, artisan cheeses and imported meats. Essentially there is something to please everyone. The focus is on local, seasonal & sustainable ingredients, where quality is of the utmost importance. Compliment your dining experience with our famous sangria, enjoy a select bottle off our exclusive wine list, or a craft cocktail from a fully stocked bar.Continued

"Super delicious and lots of fun. Party of 10 all had the Eight Course Prix Fixe Menu and everything we had off it was absolutely delicious. Nia salad, bacon wrapped dates, artisan cheeses and meats, citrus cevice, salmon filet, scallops, mussels, lamb & feta meatballs, spinach cigars,saganaki, wild mushrooms, baked goat cheese, you name it was all super delicious. We are so glad we went and the atmosphere is great as is the service. Got a chance to see private party room while there, what a beautiful room. Definitely coming back maybe next time with a larger party now that I know about about the party room. The style of food matched with great service and a beautiful ambiance makes me want more. Keep it up!"

"The tapas are of typical sized portions and for the most part, well made. They have a $33 prix fixe for 8 tapas which is definitely the best deal if you go here. Unfortunately, this deal requires entire table participation, and not all of us were THAT hungry. Thus, we opted for the a la carte menu, where prices are a bit more expensive than other tapas places in Chicago.

The place is very dim, meaning you can barely read the menu unless you use your phone for some light. Thursdays are $7 cocktails and their cocktails are pretty amazing, I'd probably just go back for that!"

"I brought a party of twelve to Nia and they were absolutely fantastic. This is by far the best tapas restaurant I have ever been to and I have been to many. We tried nearly everything on the menu (32 items)and they were all outstanding. Lamb and feta meatballs, diver scallops, octopus, cured salmon, orzo salad, saganaki, you name it - delicious. This place is great I will definitely return."

"Went here for my birthday not knowing what to expect and I am so glad we did.
The tapas we had are all delicious. Not sure what I liked best, crab cakes, pumpkin gnocchi, steak frites, scallops it was all amazing. Even the bread pudding is probably the best I've ever had. The wine list is also very impressive. And our server wase very warm and caring. We will definitely be back soon."

"Food was good but nothing special and a bit pricey compared to Cafe Babbareba or other tapas restaurant. Service was rushed - we ate 8 courses in under 40 minutes and it wasn't because the restaurant was busy. There were only 3 filled tables on a Sat. night. Our plates were never cleared after any course except prior to dessert. My husband was dying for a piece of bread to use to soak up the sauces...none ever appeared. There are several tapas restaurants that are better and/or closer to my home so I doubt we will go back."

"Restaurant week pre fixed menu was incredible and what a value, we were stuffed. We loved every course, each course just kept getting better, even the dessert(bread pudding) was out of this world! Marty our server was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I also really enjoyed the bottle of wine he suggested. What a great find, we will definitely be back!"

"An overall wonderful experience! We weren't sure what to expect given an 8-course menu; but we soon got the full tapas experience as a result. The server was helpful, courteous, and professional, and the atmosphere was perfect for a 'special occasion.' The unexpected surprise came as each course was served, We found each course created an anticipation for the next one that never disappointed. The experience culminated into a kind of crescendo-ed effect."
