My incredible Chicago Restaurant Week 2012 dinner at Naha included:
*a Salad of Wood-Grilled Chicken with Italian Farro and Sylvetta Arugugula. It was farnished with Candied “Budda Hand” Lemon and Cracked Walnuts

Malbec at NahaWe enjoyed a bottle of Durigutti Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina with dinner. Naha has an extensive wine list with over 30 wines by the glass. For Chicago Restuarant Week they were serving an intersting "Naha Punch" in a martini glass. It was so appealing that I had to give it a try. It was excellent!Naha "Restaurant Week Punch"
I also ordered some Naha Restaurant Week Punch. It looked so appealing in that martini glass.
