“Amazing all around!!! The food was delicious and service was great. The pita was incredible and the hummus was truly authentic. We had the schnitzel which was super crunchy and the sauce on the side was very flavorful. The patio in the back is so nice and spacious and the word burning oven inside really sets the vibe. The drinks were also unique and delicious. You have to go!!“

“I had a great time wine tasting here! We sat out on their patio, which was secluded and quiet. The perfect armosphere for a catch up with friends or a date night. The food is delicious too. My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. On Wednesdays, they do happy hour specials on tasting flights! I really enjoyed the Mediterranean white flight. Their broader wine list is also incredibly diverse, representing many regions and flavors. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Classic, and favorite for a long time. Love coming back from time to time to check out there ever changing seasonal menu and some of their classic Mainstays. Always leave here impressed and longing to try more. Exceptional wine list offering value and yet sophisticated selections. I'm pressed to find a better balance of these characteristics on any wine list in the city. Elevated food and service without the pretention.“

The food was delicious. A lil pricey, but they do have happy hour drink specials and we loved everything we ate. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The faccacio bread appetizer was amazing. I will definitely come back.“

“excellent food - we both the spring rolls and the egg rolls. the crab fried rice and vegetable salad with rice noodles were also really tasty.“

“Tonight, the Wife and I asked for a table of 4, saw multiple tables open. Host replied with "Looks like we're not going to have table free for the rest of the night." Our 2 friends walked in about 5 minutes after us for a table, Host proceeds to not automatically deny them and asks the servers. Servers apparently had a problem with having another table until another server came worked it out. Finally, Wife and I walk back in to join our friends and overhear 2 servers discussing with the host about not seating anyone after 9pm (they close at midnight btw) Great to know that you wanting to close early is more important than actually doing your jobs and making easy money (we only got drinks and 2 apps) Pathetic, will not come back. Sayonara!“

“This is the place to go if you’re looking for a delightfully creative cocktail list and scrumptious food options. We hit this place for brunch and were not disappointed. We had the burger, sausage, jam and egg sando on a milk bun, the earl grey cinnamon (it comes warm by the way), fried potatoes and the matcha raspberry GF cake and Bloody Marys. All of it I would order again with the exception of the GF situation.
The vibe is amazing, loved the design and the service was spectacular.“

“We had a delicious breakfast and the service was Excellent. Looking forward to coming back for lunch and mock tails.“

“I stopped in on a Friday evening and was pleased to sit at the bar and chat with the accommodating and attentive staff. My water glass never went empty. I appreciate the wines could be ordered in smaller 3 ounce pours which allows one to be able to sample the various offerings. The ambiance was warm and quaint and the evening ended with an acoustic set by musician Doug Bardolph.“

“Wine style is a great place. You can have romantic evening or have a couple glasses or a whole bottle with friends. Everyone there is very friendly and funny. We love to play bingo there and come for fun wine tasting every week. Cheers to many more wonderful evenings there“

“Beautiful Birthday dinner here in one of the cabanas. Liked the privacy and obscuridad the cabanas and low lights gave. Flavors of soup , scallops, and rib eye were great. Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night 😍“

“Vincent is a wonderful place. Love the food and frequently live performers as well.“

“We did wine 101 at Deep Red and it was fantastic. The perfect level of information to start conversation and you had experts on hand to help answer any questions or provide recommendations. The pours were generous so well worth the reasonable price. We got advice on a bottle to take home and came back a week later just to experience a bit more of this place. Highly recommend if you’re looking for either a casual glass with friends or you’re looking to broaden your palette. Really appreciated the customer service here!“

“Wonderful all around. Great service. Great food. Nice decor. Perfect street parking“

“The food here is beyond exquisite. Homemade gnocchi and table side polenta steal the show, but everything is amazing. Make sure to ask for a table outside in the wine garden in the back. You will pass through this tiny restaurant into a true oasis in the back. The unassuming front of the restaurant wouldn’t make you think the food is as incredible as it is.“

Not only the martinis in here are great, but the place itself and the atmosphere of it, makes it such an unique place. Enjoy. 🖤“

“Four of us went Carlos and Carlos to celebrate three August birthdays. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and courteous. You need to be prepared to read an extensive menu with specials of Italian dishes including pasta, veal, fish and meat to meet range of tastes. Also, available were soups, salads, desserts and appetizers with a decent wine list. Definitely worth a return visit.“

“First timers and now we will be regulars! The hospitality, atmosphere and fare were outstanding! From the knowledgeable staff, the welcoming management and the hostess that went WAY above and beyond to be sure my disabled husband was accommodated from when we booked our reservation to the end of our dining experience - we couldn’t have been more delighted! See you again soon, Lardon!“

“Love this place it’s a great date night“

“GReat location in Roscoe village, nice wine list with full bar, friendly staff and great food as well“

“Wonderful local wine/beer shop. Surprising variety of great beer and wine. The owner is extremely helpful in selecting bottles. Highly recommend!“

“One of the best things about this locally owned business, is that it is locally owned!
Everything you want in a wine store that you don't always find, a great selection, very knowledgeable staff, great accompaniments like snacks and gifts, and a nice clean place that is extremely welcoming.

It's a great place to stop in the summertime and enjoy a cold glass of white sitting on the patio and in the winter time enjoying a nice glass of red sitting in the tasting room. They have lots of things that are not easy to find and what you would consider a gem! They pride themselves on having a unique selection different from the big box shops!

There are price points for everybody and everybody will feel comfortable shopping here.

Did I mention these are local owners and they are in the store almost every day, a little gem in our town!“

“Lush is more than a wine store and eatery. It's a unique and rewarding adventure about fine wine and gourmet food located in Roscoe village north of Chicago. The ambience is welcomimg while the service is both delightful and impeccable. The burrata with heirloom tomatoes paired with white wine was excellent. The house made raspberry cheese cake was superb. And the French apple cider was the best cider I ever had.“
