The Amber Spoon - Review - Lakeview - Chicago - The Infatuation
"The Amber Spoon is a Mediterranean restaurant in Lakeview. Their menu has starters like beet hummus and baked scallops, along with larger dishes like lamb shank with mashed potatoes or mussels in cream sauce." - John Ringor
I am so impressed! This place just opened down the street, and was curious to try it. Started with the beet hummus and some bread, which was excellent. I got the Grilled Mediterranean Meatballs, and really enjoyed them! The rice was flavorful, the seasonal veggies were deliciously seasoned, and it was refreshing to have a side salad with it all. Also tried a Turkish apple soda they had, which was SO good.
I loved that this meal was healthy too - it's refreshing to have an amazing dining experience that also leaves me feeling great afterward too!

The food is amazing, fresh, full of flavor, and the presentation is beautiful! The restaurant itself has cozy vibes inside, and a beautiful patio seating! I recommend Smoked Baba Ghanoush, Ezme Andalusia, Chicken kebob plate

We went there two days after they opened, so we were expecting some kinks. We were pleasantly surprised about the quality of the food items, though. We started with the ezme, which was light, refreshing and nicely flavorful. We had the beet hummus which was creamy, delicious, and beautiful. We also had the babaganoush which was honestly the best I've ever had; it was incredibly smoky. They served it with bread that was a bit boring; I would suggest doing a pita or something more mediterranean. I had the beef wrapped in eggplant which was beautifully presented. The beef was not entirely abundant but it was tender and delicious. We were treated to a complimentary slice of carrot cake that was PHENOMENAL. It was their own take on carrot cake and they totally hit he mark. What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!
