Happy hour is a great value. Also, the octopus and the whipped feta spread were both delicious!

Yasemi has amazing happy hour deals. The drinks and the food were incredible. Our server Johnathan was the star of the show. He was so sweet with checking in on us and making sure we have what we needed to have a wonderful night.

we arrived for breakfast, we the only table ordering food, yet it took about 15 to 20 minutes for anyone to come take our order. We had to ask for utensils and they were extremely slow, even though we were the only ones there. So if you go, be aware the service people are nice, just forgetful and slow.

This was a nice cozy spot with great drinks and food. We went with another couple and shared a number of apps and mains. We started with the zucchini fritters, dips with pita and tomato salad & then shared the chicken kabobs, shrimp kabobs and lamb shank. Definitely worth visiting as everything was amazing - we will be back.

I was rather disappointed in the meal. The charred eggplant and other dips as well as the pita were fabulous. But the rest of the meal disappointed. The food was overly salty, and the salmon, while tasty, was hopelessly overcooked. Unfortunately we did not see our waitress from the time we ordered until the time we paid the bill so we're unable to tell her that we were disappointed in that dish. Overall it was fine, but not worth what we paid for it and we will not return.

Food was surprisingly good -- loved the charred eggplant and Maitake mushroom entree; well-seasoned and light but filling.

This was our third visit and we try and stop by whenever we are in Chicago now. (We live in Florida) The last two times we were staying in the hotel next door but this time we were in the South Loop, but still made the trip across town. The service is always friendly and accommodating although it is nicely relaxed so we can enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. The food is tasty and well prepared and presented with plenty of variety, remembering the Mediterranean theme of course. There’s even a happy hour with modest discounts on a range of drinks. So arrive early enough to take advantage and enjoy!

What a truly beautiful and unique ambiance! I brought my parents here for my mom's birthday, and they absolutely raved about the outstanding food (make sure to get the kebabs!) and overall experience. What really set it apart was the exceptional service; the manager personally checked on us and, upon learning it was my mom's birthday, surprised us with a delicious rice pudding dessert. We'll definitely be back – this is easily a new favorite in Chicago!
