A cute, intimate place off the beaten path for a really good glass of wine and relaxation. We had…read morenever been here and happened to see it driving by. Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

All you do is grab what you want and they'll give you a glass and add it to your tab. They also have 20 beers on tap. And if that wasn't enough, they have a full bar as well! They also have a nice menu, with very good food. It seems like pretty standard bar food at first, but it's really quite elevated. Portion sizes are just okay; they could have a bit more. The staff started out seeming pretty unfriendly. Since everything is generally ordered on your phone (though you can go to anyone and order instead), there isn't a ton of staff interaction. But after I engaged with the bartender and started talking whiskey, he opened up and was more friendly. My main issue is the price point. Their tap beers are $5-$10 for just 5 ounces. The food is similarly steeply priced. If you come here for dinner and drinks, expect to drop $100 for 2 people, no problem.

This place is definitely worth a try. Everything was good, but nothing stood out that made me have…read moreto come again. Plus some of the dishes were a little pricey and I wasn't "Wow'd" by anything, and some portions were small(it is a tapas place). Service was good, but way too attentive.

Some dishes were well prepared and flavorful, but others didn't quite meet expectations, especially for the price. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times, and pacing during the meal felt uneven. The setting is enjoyable for a relaxed evening, but the food quality wasn't consistently impressive. Overall, it's a decent spot, but there's room for improvement. I might return for drinks, but I'm unsure about a full meal next time.

To be honest, all of my reviews are based on whether a restaurant does what it should do given its…read moreprice point. It's decor. And it's place in the market. More importantly, does it offer the kind of service, ambience, and experience that would make you want more? I would say 151 kitchen and bar in Elmhurst does meet those expectations. On a recent work night celebration with colleagues, we ended up here for a nice dinner. Beautifully outfitted, the service was spot on, and the food was for the most part really good. Key points for me for the honey and ricotta with bread - absolutely excellent! I ordered the Atlantic salmon, which came on a bed of tiny potatoes and broccolini absolutely what was expected, the flavors were indicative of light seasoning, and I can truly say I loved it. Needless to say, the food was fantastic. You can see the photo of my entrée below? It looks very inviting right? And indeed it was. One of my colleagues was kind enough to let me take a picture of his chicken bowl - which is below as well - and he pronounced it as pretty good. Coming from him that is high praise, indeed! The tomato bisque soup I had as an app? Pretty delicious - the only concern I would indicate was that it was just a tad too sweet, but otherwise it was served at the perfect temperature, and really hit the spot. Nicely done! So - will I bring hubby here? Yes, I think so. Definitely a worthwhile place for him to try for sure - and I will make plans to bring him here soon.

My challenge is and why I'm giving two stars is that their food is priced on a higher side with mediocre quality. They serve lamb loins, but listed as chops. I ordered lunch all the time and I've never had two mediocre loin. I asked our great waitress of how thick were the chops and where they double boned. She led me to a manager who said you get plenty of food and dodged my question. He simply should've said we don't serve chops. I spent almost $500 for six of us. I think they're a better spot to spend your money for that amount. I did reach out via phone call and email as suggested with no return calls or email. I don't plan to go back for a high priced meal plus a 3% surcharge.
