"Apolonia often comes up in conversations about where to eat if you get sucked into some McCormick Place event where the minimum uniform requirement is a lanyard with a nametag. But even if you’re not attending the Accounting Associations Summit, Apolonia’s excellent Mediterranean-inspired dishes like crunchy toast topped with mussels and calabrian chile sauce, buttery truffle puff bread, and fiorentini al sugo make it worth a visit. It’s a great spot for a dinner with friends, a solo bite at the bar, or weekend brunch when you want to swap pancakes out for a fluffy frittata espanola." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
