Had brunch after a wine tour. The French toast was awesome and the bacon was cooked crispy- just how I like it. Carlos was my server and super friendly. He answered all my questions and even told me a bit about the building and what they do (also he made a great Irish Coffee). Natasha at the door was really nice and friendly- very hospitable. Definitely recommend them for brunch!

I wasn't expecting much, but I was definitely disappointed. For a winery, not much of a wine selection. Also, food was what I expected, but still felt cheap and thrown together. Finally, I wouldn't blame our server, Jordan was super pleasant and attentive, but simple stuff like not having multiple beers listed on tap, too much time to get our food and drinks, and fruit flies in water is not acceptable. The place was not what we expected. We have gone to Chicago winery on the river multiple times. I would not come back to this location, even for a drink.

We had the Valentine's day 5 course package, portions were smaller than an appetizer, hostess was very rude when greeted even though I had reached out via OpenTable to let them know we were running late, hostess was condescending. Again, portions were extremely small for 200 bucks, dessert was a literal roll up and mousse with a baby spoon. We were still hungry after dinner and will not be back again. Prices are insane and the dishes were smaller than a kids meal anywhere. Will not come back ever again.

The name Liva has Scandinavian and Finnish origins, with its meaning derived from the Finnish word for life or lively. This connotation imbues the name with a sense of vitality and energy, making it a popular choice for parents seeking names that symbolize a vibrant and spirited existence.
We went for Valentine’s Day The food and service were very good The scallops were great as were the potato croquettes And the deserts were fabulous too A chocolate mousse and a fun “Lady and the Tramp-like” roll up There seem to be two or three sections of the restaurant, and one, to the right of the front entrance, was much more lively. I would ask to sit on the right side We were seated on the left side, presumably because of a wedding party, so we didn’t see the most beautiful port of the restaurant

Me and my friends attended a Galentines wine tasting here and it was phenomenal. We had thee most gracious host Andras who was more than accommodating. My group couldn’t be more thankful to have experienced his service.

We had the best night trying a wine flight! We joined the wine club and our server Charlie was the absolute best! 🩷

Great service and great food! Avocado toast and rishi tea was amazing
Went to dinner there and had a lovely evening. Crystal was our server and she made sure we had the best time. She gave great recommendations and never made us wait.
The potato appetizer and the sticky toffee pudding were our favorites!!

We were there for a brunch. The food was excellent. The wait staff did a wonderful job making sure everyone had everything they wanted. I liked how they were concerned with food sensitivity.

We went on a weekday night shortly after they opened, so the restaurant was quiet and not too crowded. Expected a cozier vibe but lights were set too bright, which is great to see the food but doesn’t fit a winery dinner ambiance. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and their riesling tasted good.
For there not to be a lot if guests, we had to ask for water refill. While the food came quickly, they did not tasted good for the pricing. Flavors were out if balance. We ordered mussels, which were way too salty if dipping in the recommended sauce. The arugula salad was drenched in the dressing, which was not mixed well. Part of the dressing tasted like salt while the other was just sour. We also ordered the rip, which was OK. Just few small bites for the price yet decent in flavor.

Beautiful place . Welcoming and friendly host . Happy hour food was good . Service and attentiveness was a little slow and the tables near the fireplace are too close together. There is music but no too loud . I would come back again .

I celebrated my birthday here yesterday with a group of 10, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the wine was full of rich, vibrant flavors. The staff truly went above and beyond to make my birthday feel special, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the celebration even more memorable. Highly recommend!
