What People Are Saying About Naha

Understated and modern, Naha goes for cool sophistication over flashy color. The long, narrow dining room is all browns and creams, with hardwood floors and straight-backed wood chairs combining with sparse dogwood hedges to give the space a simple, organic comfort. James Beard award-winning Chef Carrie Nahabedian's seasonal American menu offers earthy pleasures like celery root soup with tender roasted squab and plump, sweet roasted sea scallops scented with vanilla bean. For dessert, warm brown butter almond and pear cake is preposterously buttery and infinitely satisfying, served with…

Too Expensive
by MLicata at Citysearch
The prices are too high. The food was fine but the service was just okay. It is close to my office so I wind up there with clients from time to time but always feel like the tab was too high. There are other places around that are a better value and have more table space for doing business over a meal.
- Pros: River North Location - Close to the Loop
- Cons: Expensive

Not Impressed
by KevinChicago at Citysearch
I went here during restaurant week and was not impressed with the food or service. The waiter never even came over to ask how our meal was. I ordered the squash soup which was bland. For my main course, I ordered the lamb which had flavors that did not work.
- Pros: Cool Place
- Cons: Food, Service

Naha- unimaginative and uninspired
by LorettaNapoleoniauthor at Citysearch
Went to Naha with a business associate the other day, and was incredibly disappointed with the level of cuisine. We ordered a very sub-par eggs benedict which lacked both creativity and inspiration. The halibut was a pathetic execution of unsophisticated flavors and condiments. And the quail had way too much salt. There are a lot of places that have the pretense of refinement and innovation, and Naha is one of them. The service was fine, but the cuisine was sorely lacking. This is indeed a sad thing. Naha has a wonderful decor, but it neglects what is of paramount importance to a dining experience- the food.
Time after time, i've heard the same thing by savvy diners- Naha is really not a great restaurant. For real cuisine, do yourself a favor and venture out to Tallgrass in Lockport. This is cuisine executed at its finest.
Naha is simply pathetic.
- Pros: Quality of meat and fish product
- Cons: Chef lacks depth and innovation
The Details on Naha
The Extras:
If you can't get a reservation, take a seat at the bar or at a table in the lounge and try the appealing lounge menu, where Mediterranean treats await on the Mezze plate: hummus, pita, spiced beef and feta cheese triangles.
Where to Sit:
Request a window table, where you can take in the looming urban skyline while reveling in the dining room's minimalist comfort.
