29 Best Wine Bars near Northbrook

“We celebrated my birthday at Ruth Chris, arriving at 6:15 on a Thursday night. It was not crowded so the noise level was perfect and we could hear ourselves talk. The waiter was excellent, and the menu was varied. We knew prices before we arrived, so the expensive steaks were no surprise; however, the delicious flavor of the meat was so good that we were surprised about that.. Wine offerings were fair-priced and varied. The sides we ordered were delicious, especially the asparagus and sweet potato casserole. Ambiance was sophisticated but welcoming. It is a beautiful restaurant with excellent food. They pamper celebration diners with the table setting and a delicious desert gift. We intend to return for special events or for when the desire for really good steak is whispering to be heard.“

“Fantastic addition to Northbrook…dine in or carry out, food is consistently delicious!“

“This place is so awesome! The food is incredible, the staff is so nice and the wine is outstanding too. I will definitely be back and spread the word! ❤️“

“This was the best night out!! We went out with friends and shared multiple dishes (and so much wine.) The food was outstanding. The wine was so flavourful and we just kept ordering more. The Black Grape Crostini was probably the best I've ever had. Go here for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with great food and team!!!!!“

“Our watercolor art class at Lynfred Winery was truly exceptional, thanks to the amazing and professional instructor, Becca. The cozy and inviting winery setting made it a perfect event for our group.“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“I wanted to make my own cheese board but did not have time. I was looking for a local cheese shop in the neighborhood and stumbled upon WineStyles. I completely forgot to take a picture. However Emily and her staff are wonderful! We ordered a cheese board for a party, normally this isn’t something they do. We bought our own board from HomeGoods and brought it to her, came back the next day for pickup with a wonderful board. I think there were 3 different meats, and 4 different cheeses. Along with the crackers, jam and almonds. Everything on the board was super delicious and it was a hit at the party!! The whole thing was gone within 20 minutes haha. We had quite a few people ask where we purchased it. We definitely think Emily & team should look into offering this as a regular service or at least around the holidays, it would be super popular. I love the aesthetic at her place as well. We also purchased a few bottles of wine which we brought to party. Also a huge hit! As a local business owner myself, I am happy we found this place and happy to support. My husband and I will definitely be coming here to eat and drink soon. We were both pleased with the friendly service and the amazing cheese board! We absolutely recommend! Thank you!“

“Could not be more impressed with the Bottle Shop, specifically owner Amy. My colleague lives in Wilmette, and I stumbled on Amy's shop online when I was looking for some place that was able to send him birthday beers. Not only is she super friendly and helpful, but she was incredibly knowledgeable about beer. Amy is a rockstar, her beer selection is awesome and I hope to one day be able to enjoy one in her shop!“

“Service was amazing, as always. The new location is beautiful—great layout, very classy. My wife appreciated being able to get multiple servings of salad dressings. This restaurant truly needed the move to showcase its full potential. I'm so glad they did—it's going to thrive!“

“j'ai passé le meilleur moment ici. La nourriture était si bonne. J'y suis allé avec mes filles après le travail. Maintenant je vais dans ce café presque tous les jours ❤️“

“In a town known for great steak restaurants, EJs, is my favorite. Their steaks and seafood are outstanding, their sides and desserts wonderful, and their wine list never disappoints. Throw in a cozy atmosphere with wood paneling and the smell of the fireplace. The best part is the service. From the moment you arrive until you get back in your vehicle their service is unmatched with a staff of professionals who have been there for years. I highly recommend EJs and look forward to our next visit!“

“The food here is PHENOMENAL, everything we ordered was SO GOOD. We were in a huge group and we ate "family style" where we just took a bit and passed the dish down till we were all satisfied. My favorite was the sauce from the calamari with the potatoes from any dish. We also ordered the dessert, they were out of the vanilla one but WOW the chocolate raspberry was so rich and decadent.

Parking: Street parking is paid in some areas, free in others and very hard to find. There is a free lot down the street behind the "art wall", just be mindful of your car's undercarriage clearance because if you have a sedan, you will scrape getting in and out of the lot. Higher clearance vehicles (truck, suv) would probably be fine. There is a second entrance about 20 feet further than the first entrance that's less bad, the incline/ decline won't scrape your car so badly but it still scraped my car a little on the way out. The first entrance made me worry I'd lose my oil pan (I didn't, car is fine). Lowered vehicles have no hope of getting in or out of the lot without damage.“

“The perfect trifecta of amazing food, uncompromising service, and great value for an upscale and intimate restaurant in the North Shore area (Kenilworth, IL). Ask for Chick Evans and Rob when you arrive. Enjoy!“

“I've had mixed experiences here. The service tonight was great, but the wine menu is lacking. I'm not sure why ports are not listed under desert wines, and there are very limited options from New Zealand and absolutely no Petit Syrahs. The French, Portuguese, German, and Italians wines lists sometimes only have 1-2 options.“

“3 categories of 5 stars: food, service, and atmosphere. My first visit with 2 other "firsts" and one "vet"...everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was top-notch. No glass went empty or even came close. Recommendations were excellent, food was delicious, servers and wait staff helpful, courteous and smiling ?. The sage butter...my mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Thank you, C and C...I will Definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend dining here. Excellent. No room for dessert, but they all looked amazing as well. I looked at other dishes around the restaurant as they came out and want to try several dishes just from seeing them. Worth the price of $30-50 a meal.“

“Our food was delicious! We ordered the goat cheese as an app. Our dinner was the Braised short ribs with risotto, And I got the Filet Trio. So yummy!!!“

“Another perfect date night at Del Rio. This family owned Italian eatery has old world charm and is redolent with nearly a century of serving simple, hearty fare to patrons. Simple in this case is a complement. The branzino last night was soft, tender, just this side of poached in olive oil, butter, and lemon, with a touch of sea salt and oregano and parsley. Nothing too fancy getting in the way of this tasty entree. Ditto for my eggplant parm with a side of pasta and alfredo sauce. Topped off by their homemade pistachio ice cream and a light, fluffy tiramisu. The gracious owner is on site most nights and greets guests with his special brand of jokes and anecdotes. He is a local treasure.“

“This is one of my husband’s and my favorite place! We were a big fan of Creperie St. Germaine so we are so happy that they haven’t completely changed the delicious menu and the interior is the same cozy place we love! And the crepes are to die for! This place is freaking AWESOME!!!“

“Food: I got the breakfast sandwich with the gluten-free English muffin. I was impressed they had this option and then they could remove the cheese because they assemble it there. I do wish it had some kind of sauce or something as it was a bit dry, but overall, it was a good sandwich and usually I’m not a big fan of breakfast sandwiches cause I think the egg can be questionable
Drink: oat miel was very good!
Atmosphere: cute and I love that they have games to play

Dietary restrictions: Easy to make sandwich dairy and gluten free“

“We have visited Cooper Hawks in Morton Grove several times, sometimes for drinks and appetizers and sometimes for dinner and drinks, we have never had a bad experience. Great food and drinks, but we have been able to experience the same waitress Lori P. She is the best great personality food and drinks fast…… she is totally awesome. Thank you Lori for making our experience at Morton Grove Cooper Hawks great! See you next week.“

“Great food and service! Warm welcoming atmosphere.“

“Exceptional food quality in a premium and relax atmosphere with high end service with attentiveness to detail of our 2nd anniversary!! Would highly recommend!!“

“Great service, dinner choices and the wine is amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“We dined at Froggy’s on Valentine’s Day, and had a wonderful time! This was our first time ever here, even though Froggys has been here for over 40 years! The interior is warm and inviting and we were welcomed in and seated promptly. Our server Peter was terrific all night, personable, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was truly a delight! We had Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Blue. Both were delicious and our overall experience was really great. We highly recommend this place and we will be back!“

“It was a late night dinner and we were looking for someplace good and luckily Jameson's was still open. Coffee was good and we were very happy w the pork chops, chicken philly and chicken club sandwiches. That being said my salad lacked tomatoes and cucumbers. My chops were advertised to be center cut loin and I got one loin and one rib chop.“

“Wonderful server. Beautiful view outdoors overlooking golf course. Very tasty food.

Parking: Lots of spaces in private free lot at night. Don't know how crowded it is during the daytime when golfers using it too.

Wheelchair accessibility: We had wheelchair in our party and we're seated at table with easy access.“

“We were put in a very nice smallish dining room where we could easily hear each other. We all enjoyed our meals from turkey burgers to a salad to brussel sprouts and artichokes. Our waitress, Diana, was outstanding!!!! Super cute and friendly, efficient and we liked her bubbly personality so much we kept asking her to pull up a chair and join us! We will definitely come back but only when she's serving! Great meal and great service!!!!“

“Great pizza! Make sure to check out the salads and the homemade gnocchi“
