April 12--One of the happy signs of spring is the return of lunch hours to four-star Naha restaurant (500 N. Clark St., 312-321-6242).
Starting today, lunch service will be available Tuesdays to Fridays.
Highlights of the new lunch menu include a handful of a la carte mezze, such as lamb pizza, feta cheese turnover and spreads such as baba ghanoush, broccoli-tahini and butternut squash with brown butter.
Main courses include longtime favorites such as Carrie Nahabedian's fried-chicken salad, lemon-ricotta pancakes (for you late-breakfast fans) and a 1/2-pound burger with a plethora of available add-ons (cheese, egg, pork belly, foie gras).
There's also an $18, two-course business lunch, consisting of the day's soup and a choice of duck-leg confit, salmon paillard or spring risotto.
