About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic

You'll be tempted by the tapas at this Streeterville eatery, from the team behind Emilio's Tapas (other location is in Hillside). Our name means sun and snow, and we serve a wide range of hot and cold Spanish choices, including grilled shrimp with garlic lemon butter sauce, baked goat cheese in tomato sauce, paella, among other fabulous tapas. The wine list features more than 60 choices, many available by the glass. The restaurant features colorful murals, tile mosaics and iron light fixtures. During summer, the patio is the perfect place to relax and enjoy great tapas and sangria.

    The food was good, but the service was just ok. The way the plates are brought out is confusing, so some at the table did not get their food later than others.

    We really enjoyed this place. We flew in from the East coast to meet some family and friends who flew in from Asia; so no-one was familiar with the local food scene -- lucky choice! First, our server, Angel was awesome, friendly, patient, helpful! The food was great, for the first time in my life, everything we ordered was perfect, so much so, we ordered another round of everything. For the cost, we would have liked to have seen a little more octopus on the plate, but it was prepared perfectly. Enjoyed the cava sangria, 4 orders of the chorizo! It ended up $400 for 4 people including tip, but again we over-ordered a lot! All-in-all, we will definitely return when back in Chicago. Thank you for a great time Emilio's!

    Daniela was excellent! Very pleasant, gave excellent recommendations and always checked to make sure we were happy with our choices. The food was fantastic! Each tapas was better than the previous one and all were delicious. Authentic flavors,the food tasted just like we were in Spain. Highly recommended!!

    We just picked this restaurant due to proximity to the movie theater, but we were very pleasantly surprised by the innovative tapas, their variety and exceptional taste. Loving tapas, we went to most tapas restaurants in Chicago and suburbs, and this became our number one favorite.

    Wonderful experience. House Sangria was very good. Food was excellent. We shared three tapas. The Brochette of Beef and the Bacon Wrapped Dates were outstanding.

    Emilio's is an old standby that consistently delivers wonderful tapas in a great atmosphere. Forget the pretentious crusted and infused places that last a year at best. Go for lasting quality.
