Apolonia, a Chicago-based restaurant, offers a delightful dining experience with its wonderful service and tasty Mediterranean flavors. The attentive staff, who are kind, fun, and knowledgeable, provides recommendations and ensures customers' satisfaction while paying attention to dietary needs. Standout dishes include the puff bread, harissa chicken, and the flavorful gnocchi. The chicken dish, usually basic, is noted for being perfectly balanced and satisfying, while the skirt steak impresses with its rich flavors. The tasting menu with wine pairings is a delightful journey, with the fish and the creative use of olives and fennel leaving guests wowed.
The restaurant is praised for its exceptional food quality, with dishes like the octopus, lamb skewer, and the unique and mind-blowing pistachio dessert receiving high acclaim from customers. Many have enjoyed their meals so much that they return soon after their first visit to experience the restaurant's ambiance again. The puff bread is also a standout, described as unlike any other. The dining experience is further elevated by well-balanced sauces, tender meats, and the overall excellent execution of the menu items.
Despite some concerns over the restaurant's pricing policy, Apolonia provides a great overall dining experience, with the food, service, and atmosphere worth the visit. The balance of attentive service and comfortable atmosphere creates a feeling of high-end dining without stuffiness.
