"With her new restaurant Kostali, soon to be opened in The Gwen Hotel on Michigan Avenue, Nahabedian aims to bring back hotel dining and the guest experience. She and Michael Nahabedian, her cousin and partner at Brindille (and the now-closed formerly-one-MICHELIN-starred NAHA), have been approached by hotels in the past, but it wasn’t until The Gwen reached out that they felt they’d found the right fit. Kostali will open sometime before Thanksgiving this year. It will serve dinner only, though some menu options will be available for all-day dining through room service." - Rebecca Holland
