Decided to celebrate my birthday at this Hidden Wine Bar right in a small town of Bourbonnais. Small and very intimate atmosphere. Not much seating. Wine selections were nice and food was just as good. A bit Overpriced menu. Waiter seemed to be in a rush which was a little annoying considering they closed @10 and we arrived at 8pm on a Tuesday but he was friendly. Ordered the 2 meat charcuterie was not impressed. Also ordered the steak bites with puréed sweet potatoes which was very tasty and burger for the kid. A decent place for regulars or just to wine down. Should at least try once. Check em out! read more

The food is exceptionally good for the area. However the service is lacking. Expect to be there due 2 hours!

Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. Great place, great food, great service! Highly Recommend! The Bacon Wrapped Dates appetizer was very tasty. I had the Sous Vide Pork Chop, Excellent! The wife had the special for the night, Halibut! Very tasty! She did the red wine flight (nice size pours) which she really enjoyed and I had a Bourbon Old Fashioned, very good!! read more

Cozy corner by the Jewel. Pork Chop was sweet & juicy. The Old Fashion was tasty too. Quick, friendly service. Will go back again very soon.

Great service and food for my Birthday Dinner. My Filet was cooked perfect and the sauce was very good. The waygu ravioli was tasty. Thank you!!! read more

This was supposed to be a romantic night out. I had hopes of a lovely evening. We made reservations because it was Saturday night. The restaurant was beautiful, but we were not greeted except for a shout out across the room advising us to choose a table. The tables were much too close to each other. It certainly was not a romantic night out. The food was good. If the sauces had been kept off, the food would've been better. When you pay $45 a plate, you expect more food and excellence. The service was slow. If our plates had been cleared sooner, we had considered asking for the dessert menu. After possibly 10 minutes (it could have been more or less as I didn't check my watch), I was ready to go. I was very disappointed. I am not in the restaurant business, but I know what doesn't work. This place needs better management. read more

Some may enjoy the food but I found it lacking . The fries were thick with garlic The hamburger was ... too thick. Not much flavor beneath the seasoning The wine tray unremarkable. The ambiance: loud All of this said, it stands out in Kankakee County where examples of culinary excellence are Chipotle and Cracker Barrel Don't even get me started on Applebees. a one star joint read more

Excellent food. This place will give any big city restaurant a run for their money . The ribeye that I had was so delicious! Don't forget to try their charcuterie board to start of your dining experience. Our server was inviting and fun. This is a great date night spot. read more

Love their warm beet salad and Arsonist Cabernet Savignon! They have an extensive wine selection, as well as a very delicious menu that pairs rather nicely. read more

Where do I begin? Our server wasn't friendly. We made reservations and when we walked in he greeted us from behind the bar by shouting at us to pick a table. I explained we had reservations and he pointed to a very small table marked reserved. Menus were given and he was off. He seemed too busy to answer questions and was not friendly or personable at all. I was not impressed with the menu selection nor the prices. 2 glasses of wine was $23! This was my first and last time visiting. read more

Love going here with friends - just for drinks or the food is great too! Live music at times is also fun! Definitely recommend read more

Amazing food and service! You should try the espresso steak and of course the flights of different wine. Lovely little place with great food. For a European even;) read more

Love this place, amazing service, absolutely fantastic food- best place in town by far, sooo many regulars for a reason!!!

My husband was able to go to dinner with me the other night. I had been here several times with the girls. I love it. Now he does too. Everything was perfect. If still haven't tried everything. Now I have him wanting to back soon. Service is great so friendly in there. Charcuterie yum read more

I miss the old Flight 102. It really was a special place in the Bourbonnais area (see my previous review). I ate here recently, and while I would return, I'm saddened that it's lost that five-star quality with its less adventurous menu. read more

This is a must eat in the Kankakee area! The service is second to none. They are so friendly and attentive! The food is amazing. Nothing quite like it in Bourbonnais! The wine selection is top notch!!! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

My husband and I ate here last night and it was a great experience. We had 2 red wine flights sampling 6 different wines. The flight was an interesting mix. The waiter was knowledgeable and provided excellent service. The Charcuterie Board was really good! We ordered the Rib-eye which was delicious and the Risotto Special was by far the best Risotto dish I've ever had. Very relaxed cool vibe definitely a hidden gem in Bourbonnais. read more

Chef Alessandro is a genius. He's from Italy but his cuisine is not limited to Italian food. Terrific cooking and attentive service. The disappointing thing is that Flight 102 is only open five days a week, and always seems to be closed when I want to eat there. But when we do it's probably the best place in town. read more

Went to Flight 102 a couple of weeks ago for a date night with my wife. It was a nice surprise for her and a nice surprise for me as well considering it was our first time here and we didn't expect to find such a nice wine bar in Bourbonnais of all places. They have a lovely selection of wines. The food was good too. Great ambience. I cannot think of a negative. Definitely worth visiting more than once. read more

I love the wine menu it speaks for itself, a wide range of wines. I've had charcuterie board and a few other appetizers and thought they were amazing. Prices are a little bit more expensive than surrounding restaurants but well worth it. read more

Uppity ass prices w/o the service. & the menu sucks. If you're going to make folks wait forever: give them good service and food options that aren't 'no longer available'. Should've stayed w/the kids and ordered pizza read more

I started with the Preserved Olives. The foccocia bread was delicious, very fresh and flavorful. The olives came whole, which surprised me because I thought they would've came chopped, so I sent them back to be chopped so I could spread them over my bread. Great combo if you ask me. The staff was very accomodating. I had the Seared Scallops for my small plate. Veggies were fresh not frozen, and not over cooked, which I really appreciate since I like my asparagus to snap when I bite into it. The scallops were a little hard to slice with a butter knife, but tasted very good especially sopped in the yellow pepper puree. Mmm... For dessert I had the Toasted Pound Cake. OMG so good! For every bite I took a little of everything. Sweet but not too sweet, The whipped creme had a sweet flavor to it, not bland like most, Vanilla ice cream, with two different berry puree's that were so yummy. Delicious! My daughter had the Meyer Lemon Sorbet, which she did not like. My husband and I tried it and the sorbet was very tart, maybe it's fresh made and peel got left in? I don't know, but I would definitely recommend the pound cake over the sorbet. For her small plate she had the Hanger Steak which was delicious and tender. The spinach was fresh and tasty in the steak rue. The onions were a little on the sweet side for me, but I loved the shoestring potato garnish on the top. Surprisingly tasty. My husband had the Smoked Salmon which was ok. He commented when we left that he thought they should have a smoked filet instead of thin slices. I'm not a huge fan of smoked salmon to begin with, and this appetizer did not turn me. It tasted a little fishy to me, but maybe that's what it's supposed to taste like? I don't know. The bill was a little pricy, but if you're out treating yourself it's worth it. ;) read more

Well worth the trek Chicagoland. read more

Based on wine, atmosphere, and service. The white wine flight that I had was awesome because who doesn't like wine and 3 glasses of wine at that? Anyone? We did come here to eat though, with a larger party (5+), and with people with larger than normal appetites (big guys that like wine). One look at the menu and we realized we were not going to eat at this place. I think online it mentioned being a tapas bar. I remember seeing five items on the tapas menu and 3 entrees or something like that. Regardless of already knowing prior to arrival that we were going to a tapas place I expected there to be a somewhat large amount of choices like at other similar establishments. I would definitely come here with a smaller group or on a date. It would be perfect for that. Still trying to get back here to try the food. read more

Love this place!! Excellent atmosphere & food is TOP notch!!! Miss going here!!! Love their risotto!!!

Superior. The staff is friendly and attentive and the place is intimate. The menu varies and only 2 mini gripes is that they may run out of some menu items and that they could add a few higher end wines to the menu. But the menu items are always very good and just a little bit unusual, at times but, in a good way! And not too unusual that you don't want to try it at all. So kudos and keep up the good job! read more

Best in this area- by far. My wife and I love this place. Great apps and entrees. The Midnight Moon burger is simply the best of the thousands of burgers I've had in my life. The fries with the parmesan sprinkle must be tried. Good selection of craft beers and wine and the service is top-drawer. Desserts, when we're not too full, are also excellent. Back to the burger for a minute; if you've never had one with truffle oil, you don't know what you're missing. read more

Superb from walking in the door to the moment I left. The service was pleasant. I had a chat with the chef was did a fabulous job with my salmon and my buddies steak. I can't wait until my next visit so I can try something else. Kudos to the owners, you have the best place in the area by far. read more

Pricy and servers weren't that friendly -asked for an orange slice for Blue Moon beer and was told they don't have any fruit -Jewel is right next door ! Would not return there are many other places cheaper and more accommodating read more

Fast and quick service! Great place for locals. Not many filling vegetarian options, but the atmosphere is nice! Great place for date night or girls night. read more

Great wine, great food, great atmosphere. Fantastic fresh ingredients prepare by an excellent chef. I would expect to pay twice what I did in Chicago or a bigger city. Definitely a must. read more

Being one of the few upscale dining places in Bourbonnais, I want this place to be great. I've been here twice now and each experience different, yet equally unsatisfying. While some items are great, some fail to reach their mark. The wine however, consistently great choices and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which is what keeps me wanting to try again. We ordered the truffle fries and shrimp as appetizers. The fries were Perfectly cooked and tons of flavor! The shrimp were well cooked and the pepper jelly had a nice flavor but the ham served with it was a bit tough and didn't make a lot of sense to me. We ordered the special of the pig cheeks carbonara. The cheeks were very fatty and could have been crisped up a lot more. The pasta was cooked decently but I tired of the dish quickly. I must say that it is a step up from last year when the food was highly over salted. A bit disappointed but I would probably give them another shot. Could have just been what I ordered. read more

Great service, amazing, high quality food. You don't have to drink wine to come here but the Malbec (dry red wine) is very good.

New July 2018 menu is delicious! Great wine flights and the food portions are perfect. Great if you want wine and an appetizer or a full meal. Make sure to try the $3 mini deserts! read more

Dinner service was amazing! Our server was Matthew and he was very attentive and personable. The food was beyond amazing! Very flavorful and creative dishes! Compliments to the chef!!! We were so stuffed after dinner we didn't think we could eat dessert but when Matthew brought the desserts shots out we had to order three! Overall great atmosphere, service and food! Very happy and will return again.. and again!!! read more

I had a great time here for date night. The bacon wrapped dates were a perfect appetizer. I got the Oriental chicken salad for my meal and it was also amazing. It has a really comfortable, warm atmosphere and attentive staff. I got the strawberry and chocolate dessert shooters. They were a perfect size! Awesome job chef. read more

Even though we love good food and good wine, it took us a long time to get to Flight 102. We tend to go out a lot on Sundays and Mondays, when this establishment is closed. We were not at all disappointed with the food. It was tasty, flavorful, and decently portioned. My burger (part of a weeknight special priced right) was just a touch to oily for my taste, but it was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. The salad, cheese platter and other items were also excellent. The wine was also very good. The house Shiraz was balanced with a nice finish, and the port flight showed vertical contrasts within the same house of port. We were disappointed by the service. While he was a nice enough guy, It was perfunctory and, to be honest, rushed. At these price points I expect more polish and better pacing, and we didn't get that. I felt like we got Steak 'N Shake pacing instead. Lastly, I liked the decor. I didn't care for the mid-top tables, however, which were not comfortable. Next time I would try to book a room with a couch or comfy chairs, despite the minimum. And the music playing that evening was not conducive to a wine bar. All in all, great bread and okay circuses. We will be back at some point, though it may not make our regular rotation. read more
