Yasemi, A Modern Mediterranean Restaurant
Chicago
レビュー
Visited Yasemi on a Monday night for dinner. It was pretty decent. The food was tasty but didn’t impress us. The serving sizes are okay. I felt like they are missing some offerings to pair the meals, like pita. We also had the salmon and lentil salad but felt that the lentils were a little too uncooked, and the plate came with a plain tomato paste chunk that didn’t enhance the flavors. The restaurant and location has a lot of potential and looks beautiful inside.
Excellent Mediterranean dishes served in a gorgeous ambiance. Our table had three small bites for a light afternoon snack, and every one of them tasted absolutely delicious. The server was professional and friendly, and the wine list was great, too.
Good food. Though we were waiting 20 minutes for our order to be taken. Be sure to make a reservation because they get very busy! Staff try their best as the restaurant is very fast paced. The atmosphere is great, there is usually music playing, so I consider the vibe to be a great place to meet with friends to a delicious and fun dinning experience.
We walked in for happy hour which is between 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. the atmosphere was wonderful. It was warm and very welcoming. We ordered a cocktail and a mocktail that were fantastic! I highly recommend the Cafe old fashioned and kiwi cocktail. As for the food, the appetizers were so good we never made it to the main meal. We'll come back for the amazing menu that we saw another time. Perhaps on a Wednesday when they have wine at Half Price all day. Getting back to the food, the top recommendation was the cheese puff! I never had a cheese triangle that was so done and had drizzled honey and black sesame seeds on top. It was amazing! And I don't want to forget the baklava we had for dessert. It was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back soon! It's a great vibe! Make sure to send your Opa vibe to Chef George! 🇬🇷
BLEW MY MIND!!! This happy hour is going straight into the weekly rotation. The flavors were deep and bold, I was really shocked. The cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed the blood orange Paloma and kiwi kefi. 10/10 on both. The oysters were some of the best I’ve had . The tajin comes through very nicely. After that came the beef kofta, cheese pie, and crispy potatoes. The beef and potatoes were exquisite but what really rocked my tongue was the cheese pie. It was so good… we ordered another set 😭😭😭 that was my favorite part of the meal. The hummus was also delicious. Pretty big size so we ordered some more pita. Overall an incredibly strong HH menu for the price. And bonus points for being on inKind. I’ll be back! Our incredible waitress Alexa needed a FAT raise!!!!!
