City Winery Chicago At The Riverwalk

The experience was like no other in front of the rover in a bubble dome. Food was a great and the drinks exceptionally made for chilly evening. The service lacked a proper greeter, we arrived and wandered aimlessly for 5 minutes being brushed off by servers inside. The dome definitely lives up to the hype with a few minor flaws the string lights in our dome were half burnt out, heat was being provided by space heaters who only half worked making our evening just a little chilly. The service provided by our server made up for some of the flaws but to sit here and say I’ll be back would be a stretch. I do recommend to at least try it once who knows you might have better luck.

FYI what’s not in the fine print the $60 minimum also includes a $25 reservation fee so the minimum per person is actually $85. Additionally, their service model is that you’re meant to put in bulk orders as the waiters do not come back often. The manager explained this was detailed in email communications but the only emails I received were from OpenTable confirming my reservation and did not outline any of that relevant information. Fair warning in case you did not receive any of those details before dining there either.

Way overpriced. Food and drinks were terrible, with very slim selection and poor quality, especially the steak for what you pay. Nice experience to be outside in a cozy dome but not what I expected.

Perfect evening. Great ambience. Comfortable heated. Fantastic service. Special shout out to Nick for making the evening extra awesome.

So the experience is great, the overall price is hefty!!! Some dishes were unacceptable, like the Lobster Mac n Cheese...DEFINITELY not worth the money... Take lots of pics, go w ppl you really care about Play good music and drink heavily!!! Make memories, then go get a bucket of wings afterwards...
