Naia Chicago Riverwalk has opened as a new Mediterranean dining destination at 300 N. LaSalle Street in downtown Chicago, bringing Greek-Levantine cuisine, riverfront seating and dock-and-dine access to the city’s popular riverfront corridor.

The 12,000-square-foot restaurant, developed by DineAmic Hospitality Group, is located directly under Chicago Cut Steakhouse and stretches along the Chicago River from LaSalle Street to Wells Street. The full opening date was not provided in the source.

New Greek-Levantine Restaurant on the Chicago Riverwalk

Naia is designed as an all-day, all-season restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining along the river. The space includes pergola-covered booths facing the Chicago River and a coliseum-style dining room that extends toward the water, offering views of the river and downtown skyline.

According to DineAmic Hospitality co-founder Luke Stoioff, the project had been in development for five years.

Mediterranean Menu, Brunch and Riverfront Dining

The culinary program is led by chef Athinagoras Kostakos, who won Top Chef Greece in 2010. The menu focuses on southern and eastern Mediterranean flavors, with grilled meats, salads, pastas, seafood, flatbreads, shareable plates and a sushi program designed for group dining.

Naia is positioned as a Greek-Levantine restaurant serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, happy hour and dinner on the Chicago Riverwalk.

Dock-and-Dine Access and Event Space

One of Naia’s key features is its partnership with Downtown Docks, allowing guests to arrive by boat and dock near the restaurant for a riverfront dining experience.

The restaurant also includes an indoor-outdoor event venue on the east side of the property, with space for gatherings ranging from 30 to 500 guests.

Naia’s name refers to ancient Greek river deities, connecting its waterfront location with a mythological theme. Reservations are available exclusively through OpenTable and open 14 days in advance beginning at 12:00 AM.
