Chicago / Evening Dining

Dinner In Chicago

Chicago’s dinner choices here span River North Mediterranean mezze, Fulton Market comfort-food mains and Logan Square seasonal cooking. Ema, Beatrix and Lula offer different ways to assemble a meal, with published evening hours and restaurant-specific charges. Compare a small plate with a rice-accompanied kebab or a full main deliberately, then book the exact branch and check how service fees affect the bill.

Choose The Correct Dinner Service

Dinner hours, all-day cafe hours and venue closing times are labeled separately below. Check the exact branch, day and room, then confirm final kitchen orders if your arrival is late. A daytime cafe, happy hour or reservation widget does not establish a full dinner-service window.

Budget For The Meal You Want

Use the named dish and portion rather than a price category alone. A small plate, a main with sides and a lunch special are different orders. Pickup prices are not independently confirmed dine-in prices. Ask how surcharges, service fees and gratuity apply, and review the actual booking’s cancellation terms.

Choose Your Dinner

Compare one named food-item price, not a complete bill. Pickup examples are labeled; drinks, extra courses, tax, gratuity and restaurant charges may add to the cost.

3 Researched Options

Mediterranean Mezze And Rice-Accompanied Kebabs

Ema’s River North dinner menu supports either several shared mezze or a rice-accompanied kebab. A falafel plate is not the same meal format as grilled chicken or lamb-and-beef kefta. Choose your number of plates before estimating the bill, and use the Chicago reservation route and dinner hours.

River North

Ema River North

Ema’s River North dinner service offers Mediterranean small plates, vegetables and rice-accompanied kebabs. Diners can assemble a meal from spreads and mezze or choose a named kebab, so a small-plate price alone is not a full dinner budget. The Illinois Street branch has its own group contact, hours and surcharge, distinct from other Ema locations.

Good For
Mediterranean Mezze And Rice-Accompanied Kebabs
On The Menu
Rice-accompanied grilled chicken kebab, lamb-and-beef kefta, green falafel and hummus
Budget
Chicago dinner menu: grilled chicken kebab $22.95, lamb-and-beef kefta $23.95 and green falafel mezze $14.95. Kebabs include basmati rice; falafel is a different small-plate format. A 3.5% surcharge is removable on request. Drinks, tax, gratuity and additional plates are separate.

Beatrix Fulton Market gives dinner diners a choice between a meatless burger, rigatoni and a larger short-rib main. Its evening restaurant service is separate from the coffee counter. Book the Fulton Market branch, compare dish-specific prices, and account for the surcharge unless you request its removal.

Logan Square Classics Alongside Seasonal Plates

Lula’s Logan Square dinner brings seasonal rigatoni and roast chicken together with Pasta YiaYia, a long-running cafe dish. A $21 pasta and $32 chicken main give different starting points for the food budget. Book around the 4:30 PM evening start and Tuesday closure, and include the mandatory service fee.

Logan Square

Lula Cafe

Lula’s Logan Square brunch lets diners compare a pancake order with a breakfast burrito or smoked-trout scramble. Daytime seating operates differently from dinner: arrive for the waitlist rather than reserving an evening table and assuming it covers brunch. Include the fixed service charge when comparing food prices with nearby cafes.

Good For
Logan Square Classics Alongside Seasonal Plates
On The Menu
Pasta YiaYia with feta and brown butter, seasonal rigatoni and roast chicken
Budget
Pasta YiaYia $21; seasonal rigatoni $27; roast chicken $32. A 20% service fee applies to all checks. Drinks and tax are additional; ask how gratuity is handled.

Dinner Service And Opening Hours

Lula’s evening service is 4:30 to 10 PM Wednesday through Monday, with Tuesday closed. The morning and lunch window ends at 3 PM, leaving a service break. The reservation widget’s time choices are not a promise of kitchen service outside these hours; confirm a late food order directly.

Booking And Arrival Advice

Reserve through Lula’s official OpenTable link for the Logan Square restaurant. Call 773-489-9554 if a table or dietary request needs clarification. Check cancellation terms for the selected booking and ask how the 20% service fee relates to any additional gratuity before estimating the bill.
