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

“Had dinner last night, great food overall and service, although a bit loud as it is mainly one medium sized open room. The only issue with the meal was the carrot cake we got for dessert which was dry and disappointing. The clam appetizer, beet salad, lobster ravioli, and scallops were wonderful.“

“Has a nice ambience when you walk in. Food is always good, it's one of the reasons we come back. Clean and nicely decorated, I appreciate coming in and seeing the Christmas decorations. We are Eastern Orthodox Christians and celebrate Christmas on the 7th so it's nice to see the decorations.“

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

“We had the best time here for an early dinner before heading downtown for a show. Highlights of the meal are the French Onion Toast and Ricotta Gnocci. They also have a mocktail menu which had some delicious drinks on it. Will definitely be back soon!“

“My girlfriend and I went in after a long day of traversing the city. The hostess Amy was very nice! She told us about the area, gave us wine recommendations and had given us the background on each one before finding the perfect drink! Would recommend to anyone looking to have a good night out!
P.S their food is amazing for a wine bar.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place and bar manager knows his wines. Very informative.“

“Our favorite spot in Park Ridge. Excellent food and wines. Very friendly to our kids during brunch and early dinners. Strongly recommend the wine club. Monthly selections have all been outstanding.“

“Im embarrassed it took us a couple of years to finally dine here but I'm SO grateful we FINALLY arrived and assure you we will be back again soon. Fun cocktail menu, great wine list and an impeccably delivered menu and great service! Thank you for the perfect date night!“

“Visited Chicago while on our anniversary trip and booked here on a whim. Loved everything from the interior and ambiance, the chance to see the masters at work at the chef’s counter, and of course the food.

I still dream about that burger and these dishes we had. I remember the taste of the white salsify with mussel — I learned that day what salsify was.

food: 5/5 no notes. their tubs filled with pickled goodness were so fun! everything was delish!

service: all the staff was great, our waitress was attentive and efficient. she left us alone and came over when called. the chefs were very cool! we got to watch them while at the counter and they gave us some stories. they even comped us for our anniversary dessert and my fiance still thinks about their ice cream LOL

atmosphere: sexy, moody, intimate. all the good things of a date night. and a great playlist!“

“We’re FoF, Fans of Fiya. We’ve been there a zillion times. The last time we were there, which was this past Friday night, we listed all the people we had introduced to the restaurant. We counted a dozen. Food is always good. We like the lively vibe and love the quaint back patio in the warmer months. 🌟Obviously, we highly recommend it.🌟. Enjoy!!“

“LOVED the drinks and our Entrée was Spectacular can't wait to go back“

“We’ve been coming to Winestyles since before it moved from Park Ridge and have always had a great experience. Wine recommendations are on point, food is good, and staff is always welcoming. I’ve attended many events here and they don’t disappoint. Emily always remembers us and my wine preferences. So lucky to have Winestyles nearby.“

“Nice wine and cheese pairings“

“A charming wine bar with a thoughtfully curated selection of wines and perfectly paired cheeses. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, making it ideal for a relaxed evening or a date night. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to recommend the perfect pairing. Definitely a place worth coming back to.“

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

“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.“

“I had an excellent experience here! The spinach and cheese empanadas were outstanding — perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The chicken breast was also incredibly tasty, juicy, and cooked to perfection.

It’s a fantastic neighborhood spot, and I’m already excited to return. Highly recommend!“
