  First time going here and it would have been a great experience if food/drinks were tasty and not so overpriced. My wife ordered salad and chicken on the side and chicken was smelling bad and i ordered flatbread and few pieces were too salty. I also ordered martini and it was bad (bad bartender) also had one three floyds beer and bill was about $85 before tip. I highly recommend ppl to eat and drink else where before walking into this place and spend close to $000

  I had such a wonderful time at the Boney James concert that was held on Sunday, November 16, 2025 for the 5pm show. I sat at Table 323 and I had a great view of the stage and the sound system was impeccable. The food was delicious and the public transportation was in close proximity to the venue which was a plus. I was very pleased with my overall experience.

  Upscale venue. Very organized with getting guest seated in a timely manner pre show. Wait staff worked as a team to ensure good service. Kale salads are excellent. No seat is a bad seat for viewing. Be warned mezzanine seating may be a little snug with other patrons seated at the same table. And of course Boney James and other artists accompanying him were iconic!

  My most recent trip to City Winery was great. It was the brunch that included the Sade tribute. The singer and band was AMAZING! Anthony, one of the managers, is amazing. He’s very customer oriented and cares deeply about customers having a positive experience. We had a slight ticket issue and he helped us work it out with ease. My sisters enjoyed the buffet. My recommendation for the buffet would be to add meat items that are not fried (for those that do not eat fried foods), more non-pork and fruit options. What I didn’t know was that when there’s a brunch the regular menu is not available. So be mindful of that. Luckily, I had eaten a little bit of food before I arrived so it didn’t impact my ability to have cocktails. The cocktails were amazing! They are a bit on the pricey side, but they are delicious and worth every penny! Our server was great. I am sorry I don’t remember her name. It was a full house and she managed to keep up with everything. She checked on all of our tables and all of the guests were pleased. The atmosphere was great! It was a full house and we enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. I frequently attend events here and am consistently pleased. If you’re looking for some good entertainment, good food, good cocktails, and good service - City Winery Chicago is the place.

  City Winery is a great venue for shows. It's an intimate setting to really experience an artist. It's a shame that their food service fails so badly. We recently met friends in the restaurant pre-show, and ordered an appetizer over an hour before showtime, yet they couldn't get it to the table by the time we had to take our seats. The waitress did promise to "sneak" it in to our table, yet it took another 20 minutes to get to us. We've mostly given up on ordering food there since quality is often poor, e.g. cold fries, grossly overcooked pasta, etc. If they just stepped up their food game the place would be perfect.
