Reviews for Kostali by Naha in Chicago, IL
Perfectly balanced flavors. The bucatini pasta with bacon and nduja was flavorful without being overpowering. Spicy items like ... bread spread have heat and flavor without getting lost in spiciness alone. Great selection of Mediterranean wines! Read more
Definitely an awesome hotel restaurant - surprised this place isn’t more popular. Drinks: A bit hit or miss. Had a bubbly... rosé that had no complexity and the Kostali take on gin and tonic, which was on point. Food: Extremely wide range of dishes asit includes all regions of the Mediterranean, from Europe to Africa to the Middle East. I feel that the dishes don’t tietogether well, but individually they all tasted great. One note is that the lamb ribs kinda tasted Asian because the sauce waslike a sweet and sour sauce. Service: very attentive and quick Ambience: When we arrived, there was live music! It’s a quietrestaurant - great for dates or meetings. Also love that there are cozy circular seatings! Read more
A delightful and delectable restaurant only to be found in a chic boutique hotel. Everything was superb including the service.
We had a lovely meal here - great service and fresh, tasty dishes. Comfortable seating and lovely decor - a great night out... where you least expect it. Suggest booking a drink on the balcony before or after but don't miss the food here. Thanks to Kaylaand the team for a night we all enjoyed so much! Read more
The food was amazing. We had the chickpea & potato beignets, broccoli/cauliflower fritto misto, the saffron campanelli and the... special - lamb shank. The bartender Jacob was super awesome and very friendly. His drinks were perfect. Absolutely one of ourfavorite spots in the city for sure. They have great happy hour deals too. HIGHLY recommend. Service was so wonderful too,everyone from the host to the wait staff to the managers were really nice to us. Read more
Simply incredible! Kostali is located in the fifth-floor lobby of The Gwen, A Luxury Collection Hotel. You cannot resist... admiring the design and interior of the restaurant. But the FOOD! While so many fine dining establishments skip on small platesand spreads, Kostali took thoughtful preparation to create a small bites menu that will certainly excite. The entrees weregreat, I genuinely enjoyed the Prime rib. It was cooked to perfection. They also had an excellent dessert menu with traditionalGreek flavors! If your'e looking for a wonderful date night or special occasion restaurant, I highly recommend you try Kostali. Read more
The service was fantastic..The food not so much. Out of 8 entrees 6 came out cold and really did not taste that good. The... portions are small and well over priced.I would not return.I dont think they will last for more then one year with such pricesand a poor quality of food along with a limited menu...While I have no problem paying good money for a good meal.However payingfor and expensive poor meal is truely and insult...

Went for afternoon tea for 12pm seating on a Saturday. Made reservations online via Tock and had to pay online for the afternoon... tea + 20% surcharge prior to dining. I liked that Tock app asked for any dietary restrictions and if we were celebratinganything. I selected birthday and when arrived at the table, there was a card that stated "happy birthday (name) party". I wasdining with a vegetarian friend and she was able to eat everything that was offered for the day. Ambiance- very small settingwith limited number of tables for high tea. Bar area and live DJ were very cool. I wish we sat in a brighter location butunfortunately, we were seated in the area without direct lighting from top. I loved the table setting with a small hat hair pinaccessory. Tea selections - tea bags with a large pot. I expected to be a loose tea but was disappointed to see tea served intea bags. It was also rather a large pot so no refills were necessary in 90 minute experience. I left the pots were more for thetable to share with the entire party. However, we each wanted our own tea and poured our own. I've done several afternoon teasaround the city and this was the only place that offered tea bags for afternoon tea. Snack selection - more sweet than savory.Most were good. Service - it was ok. I would've tipped 20% regardless but it's also different to know that I already paid 20%tip and received minimal service, it was quite disappointing. Read more
