Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Near North

Always a treat. The specials today with the potato crusted flounder were superb. It’s our home away from home. Servers, staff and management always make you feel so appreciated. Kudos to Tim with continued Great service and Paul for the always generous hospitality.

This was a great first experience. Our server Michelle was fabulous. Funny, helpful and engaging. The manager Asuka came by to say hello too and was a pleasure to speak with. I'd go back my next visit to Chicago for sure!

It was my first time at Quartino, and I'll for sure come back! Food was delicious and our server (Nicole) was great!! 5-star service!!

It was a lovely venue for a birthday celebration. Our adult children recommended it and we were not disappointed. The food was good but small portions. For those of us who are big eaters, it could have been a slightly larger serving of the pasta dish I ordered. Our waiter recommended the carrot cake and boy was it fabulous. Best we’ve ever had! We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Ēma offers a vibrant menu filled with delicious cold and hot mezzes, fresh salads, and expertly grilled kebabs. The ambiance is serene and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual and celebratory meals. Service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall delightful experience.
