Went to see one of my favorite artist of all time KeKe Wyatt first time at this venue and I would say that I was very impressed. What a beautiful place the vibe was everything. The employees were extremely friendly and helpful. One lady even explained the process of the wines to us, and went down a list of all the different types. The venue was very intimate, and I really enjoyed that part of it. The only drawback was food. Because this venue emails you a copy of the menu prior to you coming we already knew what we wanted to order and I was really looking forward to the kale Caesar salad. So to my surprise when I ordered it, I actually received a spinach salad, so when we told the waitress about it she wasn’t sure why it was spinach and never offered to inquire about it for us. We also order the grilled jumbo shrimp which were over cooked and we ordered the lamb meatballs, which was also very over cooked and dry. But thank goodness for the drinks. We ordered red wine and white wine and a margarita which were all very good.
So City Winery you have a great place, great employees, amazing talent but not so great food😏
I went to City Winery's 11th Anniversary event. The weather was great so we (friend & I), sat outside.
The wine & appetizers were great. The ambiance and vibes were equally amazing. We met some new people at the table close to us; good time with them.
The staff were all friendly & attentive. The wine tastings did not disappoint. We eventually moved inside to have dinner in the dining area. The food was good. We had cocktails and they were enjoyable.
I hadn't been to City Winery in some time and being there for their event re-energized me to go back more. They have a monitor to show upcoming events and that didn't disappoint either - I may need to become a member. Nevertheless, if you haven't been there, go. It is great for date night, friends meet up or go solo (I saw someone having a great dinner alone...nothing ever wrong with that). There is some free street parking or valet. You're welcome, lol!
First time here, came to see Raheem DeVaughn. Very good show. Excellent intimate venue. Seating is tight(very close together). Food was ok, and overall great atmosphere and experience. Will be coming back.
Nice intimate venue. Loved my tickets because I was right at the stage and it felt like I was a part of the show. The food was pricey but good and I’d most likely do it again. Was able to meet some very nice people sitting with us at the table.
I had an absolutely exquisite dining experience at City Winery. The food was nothing short of incredible, with each dish showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and artistry. What truly set this establishment apart were the impeccable wine pairings that elevated the entire meal to a new level. The staff's knowledge and passion for both food and wine were evident, and their recommendations enhanced the entire dining journey.
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and elegant, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening as my husband and I came to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. Amber Edge and Jennifer Ybarra did an outstanding job of capturing the beauty of the evening.
I must commend the chef for their exceptional culinary skills. The way the flavors melded together showcased a true mastery of the culinary arts. The wine pairings were a revelation. Each glass perfectly complemented the flavors of the dish it was paired with, enhancing the overall experience. It's clear that City Winery has a deep understanding of both the wines and the menu, creating a harmonious symphony of tastes that left me speechless.
The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive. Sarah, was so kind with a genuine enthusiasm and willingness to cater to dietary preferences or answer questions about the menu, which only added to the overall positive experience.
In conclusion, this restaurant is a gem that offers an extraordinary dining experience. If you're looking for a place to indulge your senses with exquisite food and outstanding wine pairings, look no further. I can't wait to return again.
It was cousins date night and part birthday shenanigans for me! We had an AWESOME time last night! The band was lit! The comedian, Damon Williams and others had me laughing so hard I was crying!!!!!!! City Winery is a great place for food, fun, laughter and the gathering of friends and family! I had a ball last night!
I don't have anything negative to say about this place. Beautiful scenery, beautiful staff and a vast selection of drinks. Our waiter was very attentive and really took our wine tasting seriously. You can try as many samples of wine as you'd like before you commit to a glass, which is nice. Although I ended up getting a cocktail since the wines weren't sweet enough to my taste, I definitely recommend City Winery!
This place is definitely hit or miss in terms of service. We were there a week ago and had a fantastic waiter, Brian. It was our first time visiting and he is the reason we went back a week later. He told us all about the wines and he was very attentive, funny and engaging. I literally had the best time. Because of that, I came back the following week with a different crowd and it was a totally different experience. Service was nonexistent. When we inquired about service on the patio, we were made to feel bad for sitting out there. We asked to sample some wines and that too became a big issue. I will say the manager got involved and got everything back on track, and she was GREAT, but the damage was already done. Last week I would’ve rated it a 10 out of five that is the only reason why I am giving it a four this week. They really need to have Brian train their wait staff because it had me running back from the burbs and driving an hour to get there again. I’m not sure I’ll be going back.
I had front stage tickets for Mike Phillips last night. He put on a fantastic show for 2 hours. The wine was great. I had a Rose' wine and I ate the Wagyu Hanger Steak that was very tender and delicious. I had a great time last night.
I also saw Dave Hollister in May. I can't remember the wine I had then, but I had thr Hot Honey Pizza that was delicious. Great venue. Very intimate setting.
Great venue all around for wine events, live music, parties, dinner, etc. The space is huge and has a nice vibe. Love all the decorations. Lighting done nicely also. Super high ceilings and fun events hosted there. I would say the food is a bit pricey but good choices. Overall a good time and good space.
ALWAYS warm hospitality, unique gourmet food & fabulous wine. The “IDES of MARCH” NEVER disappoint, after all they’re Chicagoland’s Very Own AND I’ve enjoyed their music for six decades!
Bodeans play here every year around this time. Always sold out because they're amazing with loyal fans
Jim Peterek and the Ides of March were fantastic! Better than expected. For a band that was formed in 1964 they can still rock!! Please have them back again and again! Terrific musicians and terrific people!
First time at this location. Valet parking was attentive and we didn’t have to wait long for our vehicle after the show. Very nice venue. Great show! Food was good and the Winery Sangria was on point. We had a great time. Will be returning.
I frequent the sound room and I enjoy it everytime. They recently changed the menu and besides missing the Brussel Sprouts it's very diverse. (Lobster Risotto/Waygu sliders... thank me later!) The wine selection is also great. Can't wait for the next event!!!
