From
the
atmosphere
to
the
service
to
the
drinks
&
food,
this
place
deserves
more
than
5
stars.
My
sister
&
I
were
in
town
from
Detroit
to
celebrate
our
birthday
in
Chicago
for
the
weekend.
We
chose
Demera
as
our
dinner
spot
following
a
recommendation
by
someone
in
our
party.
We
were
scheduled
for
6pm
but
called
to
switch
the
time
to
8pm,
as
it
worked
best
with
plans.
The
hostess
over
the
phone
took
care
of
it
with
no
issues.
Once
we
arrived,
we
were
greeted
warmly
by
the
host,
and
those
present
were
seated
quickly.
The
atmosphere
was
convivial,
homey,
and
intimate
-
perfect
for
gatherings
of
friends
and
family.
The
decor
was
beautiful,
and
the
smells
that
flowed
through
the
air
were
reminiscent
of
my
own
family
gatherings.
Once
everyone
in
my
party
arrived,
we
ordered
the
Chef's
Selection
Messob,
Sambussas,
and
a
few
drinks.
It
didn't
take
long
for
our
food
&
drinks
to
be
brought
out
(very
pleased!).
The
Espresso
Martini
was
divine,
and
the
Sangria
was
fresh
and
delicious.
The
Sambussas
were
absolutely
delicious,
and
the
breading
was
wonderful.
The
Demera
Messob
was
perfect
for
our
party
of
6.
Everything
was
full
of
flavor,
and
each
combination
we
tried
was
superb.
There
was
so
much
food
that
we
actually
could
not
finish
it
all,
sadly,
but
we
ate
as
much
as
our
stomachs
could
take.
At
the
end
of
dinner,
my
sister
&
I
were
given
delicious
treats
to
celebrate
with.
I
would
recommend
this
restaurant
to
anyone,
especially
those
from
out
of
town.
Those
willing
to
try
something
new
will
almost
certainly
find
something
to
enjoy
at
Demera.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
who
made
this
a
pleasant
dining
experience.
This
was
a
highlight
of
our
birthday
weekend,
and
we
couldn't
have
been
happier.
