Naha combines the culinary talents of cousins Carrie and Michael Nahabedian at this first-rate River North restaurant.
The Nahabedians are both well versed in the Chicago food scene: Michael is a restaurateur formerly associated with known venues Green Dolphin Street and Cafe Absinthe while Carrie’s culinary resume is split between prestigious restaurants in California and Chicago such as the Ritz-Carlton, Le Francais and the Four Seasons Hotel.
The restaurant incorporates a modern, unfussy design with large windows that invite a marvelous view of the city. Vibrant artwork commissioned by Lora Fosberg lines neutral colored walls.
Naha’s menu includes a thoughtful selection of Californian-inspired Mediterranean seasonal entrees composed by Chef Carrie Nahabedian. Entrees vary in price, ranging between $25-40 such as:
- Blossom honey duck breast with caramelized Belgian endive and broccoli rabe
- Venison with huckleberries, roasted chestnuts and Brussels sprouts, celery root and “honey crisp” applesauce
- Wild Carolina Coast striped bass and Tasman Sea scampi with saladOver 30 wines by the glass are available, changing frequently with new labels for new seasons.
