    Cheddar Burger
    Nerissa L.

    This is a really fun and vibrant restaurant! I came here for lunch the other day with some of my coworkers and it was a great experience. It was a beautiful day, so the restaurant was pretty crowded. We had a nice table inside with a great window view. All of the food we ordered was excellent and the service was good. I will be back soon for lunch!!

    Midwestern Cobb Salad

    The place is lovely and very convenient if you're attending the opera across the street, which is what I was doing with my friends. We had a large reservation and I got there early. They were really sweet and offered me the chance to sit at the table when I arrived but opted to just sit at the high tops they have at the entrance. Once the rest of the party arrived, we went to the table. The service was lovely and kind. They brought the menu of mocktails that was by the entrance when asked. The docking of stars only comes from the food and price. The food for all of our choices was just okay. Nothing to rave about. This was a bit disappointing as the price, which I'm sure is increased because of the clientele and location of the place, is a bit higher than what the food is worth. Even so, would come back just for the convenience of the location. Plus the music they played while we were there was a bop and that was fun.

    Manhattan And The Traditional Hummus
    Steve A.

    Classy and cool is how to describe this place in the Loop with a healthy and light menu. It's not cheap but get here for happy hour and there will be some pretty good prices. One North, for those who can't figure it out, is at One North Wacker. Good place for downtown workers at lunch. Those waiting for the afternoon will get some great savings. After seeing the menu and the prices, we made a decision to go at happy hour. It's quite a deal for those willing to wait for it. This also avoids the big lunch crowds of downtown workers. A lot of those people don't need to worry about saving a few bucks. For those who are more thrifty, the happy hour is the best hour. Actually it's a couple hours for deals on both drinks and food. The specials vary per day of the week. It's $10 for cocktails. On Fridays it's a Manhattan. These were strong. As for the food it has a few appetizers. It's $10 for happy hour. We got the Traditional Hummus, with it being one of the few vegan friendly items. It was a decent amount. This comes with cucumbers, kalamata olives, lemon zest, pita chips, and tomatoes. It was a good amount of food for an appetizer. The regular menu features super expensive things such as seafood and more. Get here at happy hour. It's a lot less expensive for some good stuff. The bar is good for an intimate experience or you can sit on the patio and get some good views.

    A friend and I came here for dinner before going to the Lyric Opera. I have to admit that I did not know this place was in the UBS building right across the street! Great atmosphere and service. My friend had the "Singing Grüner Veltliner" - appropriate - and I had Prosecco. The cuban was excellent and the unusual take on caesar salad - grilled greens with shrimp - was delicious. Great place to hang out, people watch and enjoy great food before a performance.

    Burrata Plate
    Amy D.

    The burrata looked promising, but it was disappointing in flavor. I think it could've used some more vinaigrette or maybe a fig jam. On top of that, the whole place seemed to be full of loud businessmen. There's nothing wrong with that (it makes sense for the area), but I just wish the acoustics weren't so intense. I could hardly hear a word my friend was saying!

    Smoked Gouda Puffs
    Bailey M.

    Overall 3.5! Nothing I'm craving but solid experience! They offer a decent happy hour where the drinks are reduced priced but not the food. We started with the smoked Gouda bites. They are actually pretty small compared to pictures. Don't split between more than two people given the size. They were tasty! For dinner I had the chicken verde flatbread. The portion size was good. The flavor was ok but nothing special. For dessert I had the crème brûlée. It was decent! Service was good and the atmosphere was nice.

    Love the poster!

    Went to One North for happy hour, their happy hour lasts till 7pm which is almost unheard of! So very happy about that. My friend and I ordered their special which was margs and Palomas for $10 which my friend said was decent (not strong but u can taste the alcohol). I stuck to Rose which was also $10. We ordered the hot mess sliders and buffalo sliders. The hot mess was good, the buffalo sliders was a little salty which is sometimes the case with buffalo flavored foods, would've liked more blue cheese and a little more sauce... we ordered the gouda cheese balls and chicken potstickers which was decent- the sauce definitely made it better. Decent spot, bar area is nice, wasn't too crowded and the service was good. Would definitely recommend for happy hour. *we split the bill and it came to around $65 p/p including tip.

    (Kari's Rating 8.75/10)…read more Came with a friend late on a Friday night after dinner time We were able to be seated almost immediately at a nice little private Cove table. We ordered a flight of whiskey sours, which contained whiskeys from Japan, Vietnam, and Wisconsin. I also was able to order an amaretto sour, which they made with freshly hand beaten egg whites, which was a nice cherry on the top. As far as the whiskey flights go, I think the best one was the Vietnam flight because it had a slightly lemongrass twang and was a little bit lighter than the other two. The heaviest one was the Wisconsin which came with a little bit of a bite at the end, but it still wasn't bad if you're trying to blackout on a $15 budget. I would definitely come back with a larger group this seems like a great place, but is a little bit loud- so if you be prepared to yell or wear earplugs. The bathroom took my a second to find, which should have been intuitive considering it was on the opposite end of where you come in. I blame the lighting as things are already pretty hard to find in the dark, but eventually I made it there-Pat myself on the back.

Dresscode: Smart Casual / Casual Noise Level: Medium (it gets buzzy after 5:30pm) Thursday night Happy Hour was lively, so it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to come around, but service was attentive once we got going. The food is where Ēma really shines. From the Happy Hour menu, the Charred Eggplant Hummus and Crispy Potatoes were generously portioned and great for sharing. On the main menu, the Indian-Mediterranean fusion Bhel Hummus was a party for my taste buds, while the Hot Honey Halloumi and Chicken Kefta rounded out the table nicely. The halloumi is more of a side than a main, but that sweet-and-salty hot honey combo was chef's kiss. For our finisher, the Chocolate Torte knocked us out. Decadent, delicious and chocolate with lots of depth. Overall, Ēma is an excellent spot to order a bunch of dishes for the table and get an elevated meal without feeling stuffy, and delicious without taking itself too seriously.
