I went the weekend of the grand opening . The drink I had was really good . Smokey flavor on the end . The food was good . The salad tasted very earthy . The salmon was good but something gave me irritation to my tongue . I would go back for drinks and an appetizer . It's great for a date night . It's a long wait for the food to come out . They did give a sample for a wine to try . The wine I wanted was sold out . It's a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

First time checking in - the owner's greeting was warm as she gifted our party with a glass of champagne. We came in on a Sunday night - live music was playing which is a extra plus. Dinner was Fresh - Hot - Flavorful! read more

SUPERB experience. The gnocchi and Brussel sprouts were my favorite, and my partner LOVED his salmon dish. The mixed drinks are delicious (and cute for the gram)! Oh and the complimentary sweet potato ribbons were DELICIOUS, especially when dipped in the dill sauce. I never thought I'd be able to experience such a top tier dining experience in Bronzeville. The wine selection is deep too! Our server was so helpful and was able to recommend some great options, offered wine pairings, and the chef even came out to check in with everyone. We enjoyed a night of good music and great food, amongst beautiful people and service, I will definitely be back! read more

How could this not be at the top of my "need to go" list as a wine lover? Finally made it last week for a special evening listening to renowned Chicago record store owner George Daniels reflect on his life and career, while wine pairings were chosen for different stages of his life. It was a special experience and event. Loved the unique wines - l'orange being new to me - along with the hospitality and community vibes. Really want to join the wine club for some sommelier recs! read more

Great little place in neighborhood. Service was outstanding. Friendly and accommodating servers who actually gave good food recommendations! The food was great - even the next day. read more

First time here. Amazing ambiance, food, and service. Beautiful space, great presentation of food. Our server's name was Rich, he was so friendly, knowledgeable, and hilarious. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, delicious cocktails and wine. Cannot wait to go back. read more

I had a really good time. The wine was great (we got the sweet red). The appetizers were tasty. Our favorite was the shrimp. The only hiccup was the temperature of my burger. I ordered it to be medium rare and it came out well done twice. Once I got the bill, it showed that the order was for medium well instead of medium rare. I would have expected the meal to be comped since it was wrong twice, but it wasn't. Then to see it was put in incorrectly twice was a bit frustrating because the waiter should have checked and corrected my order. Nonetheless we still had a fine time and the ambiance was great. Special shout out to the dj! read more

My new favorite place in Bronzeville! The staff, the vibe and the food were great. I met up with some friends and got many glasses of wine. Our server was amazing! He walked us through the menu and gave great suggestions. Highly recommend the shrimp and hummus. Everything was great including the sweet potato ribbons! Please go! read more

I cannot think of a better place to kick off my birthday month. Thank you, Eric, Ira, and the entire Bronzeville Winery team, for the excellent wine list, live music, and wonderful service. I'm full and happy, and can't wait to visit again. read more

Food is limited and as a winery they don't offer wine tastings nor flights of wine. The place is ok inside, outside has the best ambiance and the owners are amazing. read more

Wonderful vibe, friendly staff, good food and an overall good time. And the added bonus is it's in my neighborhood. I love that we have a nice place to go closed to home. read more

Bartenders and food is great I really enjoyed myself. I did so much I threw dollar bills on the bartender we had a blast.

Outstanding food. The service was prompt, polite, responsive, and on point with our requests and questions. Ambiance was laid-back with 60's and early 70's soul played by in-house DJ who had a great selection of period music. African /African American art mixed with modern decor under a high black ceiling gives this restaurant an open feel, yet cozy and friendly atmosphere among clientele. There is no WiFi so phones and media frdtrsctions are out, prompting actual conversation with your accompanying guest/partner or willing fellow patrons. The menu is eclectic, but the choices well-considered and, given our selections, very well prepared with a basic but complimentary presentation. The food was delicious, as was the wine flight selection. Top shelf standard libations are available. Management is engaged, overseeing staff and querying customers as to their level of satisfaction, enduring that they fulfil expectations. I...will be returning to sample other delectable items on their menu. Here's hoping they maintain their current level of service and food quality. read more

I paid $111 for a bottle of Chardonnay and garlic fries . The ambiance was super dope tho ! Probably won't be going back to this establishment as it was just outrageous some of the taxes and charges placed on my card . read more

They're over priced! The Salmon looks like it came out of a bag . Very small portions. The flights are over priced especially for sweet wines. read more

This was our first time going to this restaurant. I've never did a yelp in my life. Our bill was 400! They brought a 48 dollar skirt steak to the table cold. The mac and cheese taste like they squeezed lemon juice on top of it. The salad dressing was not right. The fries with the chili powder was tasty but too spicy. The drinks and portions were average compared to other places. The desert cakes taste like they made it out of cornbread. The music was too loud...We had to ask them to turn it down as we could not hear our own conversation at our table. And it was freezing cold in the restaurant. We ordered more food but I think this is enough. Our waiter was the bomb though. I'm sorry for doing this but this was unacceptable. read more

My first visit might be my last. The entire experience was underwhelming. The overpriced food and drink menus, the very small portions, the overcooked sliders, the mistakes on the check, and the automatic gratuity left me unsatisfied. read more

This place has been on my radar for sometime. Finally tried it last night with two of my girlfriends. The ambience is really great, the space is well decorated and has a very modern vibe. They have a DJ who is playing music which is slightly loud, but we're old. The food itself is delicious. We had the mussels, the purple cauliflower as appetizers, the muscles were amazing. The sauce was delicious. Then I had the English pea salad with grilled shrimp. It was very refreshing and light, and the dressing was very tangy. My one friend had, the shrimp gnocchi and my other friend had the duck and both looked very good. Then we had the lemon trays leches cake for dessert and it was delicious. I had a gin cocktail my girlfriend had a vodka cocktail and we all had some wine the drinks were very good also. I would say it's a little bit overpriced for the neighborhood, but with the economy being the way it is, it's understandable. The staff were very friendly, although lacking some attention towards the end of the evening. Overall really good spot, I love that it's black owned, and in an underserved community definitely support it. I would like to go back with some other friends just to get their opinions. read more

The service was A1, but it was way too expensive for the amount of food that you get. My bill was over $80 and I'm very petite and was still hungry afterwards. read more

Great place for dinner. Love that they host a lot of themed events. The ambiance is great but the difficulty in rsvping is not fun and their "happy hour" is TRASH. They have incredibly limited seating at their small bar and they won't open the main floor to HH guests so if you're not there at open, you'll have to stand in the crowded entrance way with your drink. I would not come here for HH. Totally not worth it. Only for a dinner date, event, or outing. Sucks bc there aren't many (if any) good HH options in the area so I guess I'll have to keep searching for somewhere else to spend my money and catch a vibe. read more

I could not be happier to have this so close to my home! Great food, amazing ambience and good vibes Had sprouts, steak and tomato flatbread. All very good. Steak was cooked perfectly with the right amount of char, the flatbread was crispy, fresh tomatoes with the right amount of balsamic My only criticism is when the DJ starts it gets a little loud but we will go back read more

Younger bartender was not tentative or listened to my order of Wild Mushroom Bucatini. Instead the bartender heard the word "mushrooms" and assumed that I ordered the oven roasted mushroom. There I sat on the bar drinking my 2nd choice of 21+ drink as my first choice of 21+ drink was not in stock. I was hoping to support a local South restaurant but I'm disappointed by the service. I don't know if I would be back as my first experience was not pleasant. Side note: The side of over roasted mushrooms had rosemary leaves and thyme stems that I had to pick out to even eat the side. read more

Darcy, the bartender, is the best! She's very attentive and holds great conversation. My first experience went beyond my expectations because she made it so. She was extremely busy but never hade feeling abandoned. I need to know what days she works so I can always make sure I'm there!. Ask for Darcy and you won't be disappointed. The drinks were super delicious and the vegan burger made me want to order more! I will most definitely be back, especially on the days she's working. I hope you enjoy your time like I did! Happy drinking! read more

First time here was a Friday night. Sweet wine flight was just ok, service was slow and that is a definite turn off.

restaurant has a nice ambience . I've had dinner and brunch here and I don't think I found a meal that I love yet. Watermelon steak was pretty good & so far options i've tried for brunch were just okay ( avocado toast, breakfast burger, chicken & waffles). Definitely will come back again but maybe just drinks and shareable bites‍ read more

My compliments to the Chef, the staff, everyone involved. They did an absolutely wonderful job. The service was prompt, extremely attentive. Our waiter was knowledgeable and courteous. The food was superb. I'll definitely be back and can't wait for them to open the patio and add the brunch menu! read more

We live not far from here and have driven by numerous times. We finally made a reservation on Friday evening and we will be regulars from now on! From the time we walked in until we walked out the door the service was five stars. The hostesses greeted us warmly and professionally and lead us to our table immediately. Our server Sarah was excellent. The place was packed so we knew she was busy but she made us feel like we were the only table she had. Always timely but never pushy! The whole vibe of the place was warm and friendly. The lighting, the music (DJ was playing incredible music at the perfect volume, where you could hear it but didn't have to yell to have a conversation) and ambiance were all just perfect. The food was great, nice vegetarian options as well. They've created a wonderful space for any kind of evening...date night, drinks with friends or even a special celebration. The service didn't stop with Sarah. We had the Chef and two others stop by our table to make sure everything was terrific!! An unbelievable experience that we'll return to again and again!! read more

The food was awesome. I had the chicken and waffles and my wife had the same. My cousin had the salmon salad which she enjoyed also. The ambiance is great here and the server was prompt and did a wonderful job of getting us or food in a timely manner. I highly recommend Bronzeville Winery. read more

This was my 3rd time at Bronzeville Winery and I was not happy with our waiter Rick as he sat down while he took our order and complained he was tired. His customer service skills was not good as we waited an hour for our food and he never came back to check on us. Fortunately the food was great but the wait was too long to get our food. I will go back, maybe it was an off day but the wait staff can make or break a business. read more

Visiting from East Coast (Philly area), and what a wonderful experience! Thomas, our bartender, served amazing cocktails and the food we ordered was outstanding. We had Spanish cod fritters, lamb prosciutto flatbread and wild mushroom papperdelle. All was delicious, but the mushroom pasta stood out. Rich, creamy, and hearty without being heavy. Uncle Nearest flight of whiskey is def worth it. read more

The ambiance in this place is really nice! They were supposed to have live music but they just had a dj playing some great old school hits. The service was really decent as well our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. I wasn't too impressed with the food tho. My sister had the burger and she enjoyed it. But I ordered the gnocchi seafood dish which was recommended but it had no real flavor. The gnocchi was undercooked and the cream sauce was super bland. I'd like to try it again but that kinda really bummed me out because the waitress raved about that dish. read more

First time there, I was not impressed at all. The appetizers were dry, the seats are uncomfortable and the plates are formed such that they cannot be picked up except by sliding the entire plate off the table. The only reason I gave them even 2 stars was that I did like the burger. Very overpriced, spend your money elsewhere. read more

This place is worth the visit (or two)..... We had the Black Flight which included a rose, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and a red blend. Pretty good. My favorite was the Zinfandel. We also had the shrimp appetizer, the sprouts and a salad with sea scallops.....all delish! It's a bit loud in the dining room so you have to compete with music and others to hear but dining room is otherwise neat and sleek! read more

A friend and I sat at the bar and had great service by the bartender Don, the drink was delicious and his food recommendations were on point so much I'm going back tonight! read more

Was very excited to check out this establishment. Arrived for 4pm reservation and greeted pleasantly, seated immediately. Decor good. Ordered apps and drinks which arrived 30 minutes after ordering. Another 30 minutes before dinner order taken. Only to find out that the mamba juice is actually missing the rum. Make that make sense! Another 30 minutes wait for food. Multiple apologies in between, promising that the manager will stop by to "see what we can do" No manager. Had to ask for the tab because had we not, we still would've been waiting. Asked for additional tip when handing over the tab that included the beverages that were mishandled. Politely ask for them to be removed from tab. Still waiting for someone to pick up credit card for tab. You can't make this up! I'm not a restauranteur so I won't pretend to give advice on how to run a restaurant but customer service 101 is very simple. Won't be back and will not recommend! And I will be spreading the word, Do Better!!!! read more

Such a great happy hour and dinner! Bartenders are so knowledgeable and fun! Can't wait to go back for brunch. Amazing addition to the neighborhood! read more

The wonderful ambiance hits you from the moment you step through the door and are greeted by the hostess. I enjoyed the Uncle Yam's old fashioned from the bar as I waited for the rest of my party to join me. We enjoyed Spanish Cod fritters, Adobe Chili fries, coconut red snapper, salmon, lobster Mac and cheese, roasted chicken and shrimp. All the food was OUTSTANDING and our server B was very knowledgeable. I recommend Bronzeville Winery 20/10! read more
