Germain! Surprisingly, this was my first time trying a cocktail with cucumber, and I loved how refreshing it was. If you’ve read my Hugo Spritz cocktail recipe, you already know I am a big fan of St. The Do Not Disturb consisted of vodka, St. Having yet to acquire a taste for beer, I opted for the Do Not Disturb, while Karina, my photographer and brunch date, chose the Pomegranate Backsplash. The Restaurant Week menu offered three drink options: 1) Aperitif Pilsner, a beer from a local brewery 2) Do Not Disturb, a refreshing cocktail and 3) Pomegranate Backsplash, a zero-proof option. Between the difficulty of securing a reservation and the number of patrons, it's clear Ēma is a popular choice! The service was good, which is especially impressive considering how busy it was. Though we had to wait a little while before we could get seated, there was space in the entryway to sit. Fun lighting fixtures, long curtains, and plants all contribute to the atmosphere. Ēma has a clean and simple yet inviting aesthetic. For my restaurant week experience, I decided to go to Ēma, the well-known Mediterranean restaurant in River North, for their $25 brunch. Over the course of these 17 glorious days, 335 participating restaurants offer special prix fixe menus costing $25 for brunch or lunch and $42 and/or $59 for dinner. My favorite time of year has come around once again! From Friday, January 20th, through Sunday, February 5th, Chicago celebrated its 16th annual Chicago Restaurant Week.
