Avli River North
Greek
This Greek restaurant started in suburban Winnetka and then crept into the city, which is the opposite of how chains usually migrate. The River North room is all plants and pale wood, built to feel like a long lunch on an island with a better ferry schedule than yours. The menu goes past the gyros-and-flaming-saganaki starter pack, though you should still order the saganaki. Eater lists it among the area's best.

Filo-wrapped shrimp
“Avli goes beyond the typical Greek fare of gyros and flaming saganaki (but do try both as they’re delicious) with dishes like filo-wrapped shrimp, smoked salmon tarama spread, and lamb shank with Aegean-spiced parsley sauce.”
