Are you looking for a new place to take a group of clients or friends for a relaxing dinner? How about a place to have a great meal before the excitement of attending a Bucks or Bulls game or seeing your favorite performer in concert? Sinh'a (pronounced "SEEN-YAH") is a wonderfully intimate venue where the food is delicious and unique and the service is impeccable! The dinning room inside can handle groups of up to 30 guests, but with Karl's help, Sinh'a recently hosted an event attended by more than 200 guests. Chicago Gourmet sponsored this event; an exclusive dinning and wine club that sponsor over 50 events a year. A past event held at this venue, which was also sponsored by Chicago Gourmet, was limited to the space inside. This left many disappointed members, however, with the tenting, lighting, stage, tables, chairs and china supplied by Karl's this year Sinh'a was able to accommodate every member that wanted to attend!

Have you been looking for a place to have dinner before or after the show or basketball game that you have been waiting months to see? Sinh'a is a very short walk from The United Center in Chicago. At Sinh'a, parking is a snap, and their parking lot is lighted and guarded so there is no need to park your vehicle in one of the questionable area lots. Start your evening in the wonderful outside garden (weather permitting) and enjoy a traditional Brazilian cocktail or any other cocktail you might want to enjoy. Appetizers and dinner are traditional Brazilian fare. Their menu includes hors d'oeuvres from Acaraje' to mango salsa and homemade chips, main entrées include Efo' to and Feijoada and complete it with dessert of Pudim Crioulo Crocante.

Jorgina Pereira president of Sinh'a has been providing upscale catering for over 12 years from her home kitchen, now she has opened her home to her friends and clients to enjoy! Off premise catering is also available at your home or at many other venues. Give Jorgina a call to plan your next event.
