They don't sell food except for snacks, like popcorn and bison jerky, but there was a BBQ food truck while we were there, and nearby Kalayaan Festival happening at Brother's Field so we could grab some Filipino food. We cannot wait to return and try more of their beverages.

It was one of those places were in you have so many choices for beers and you can pour them yourself.

The place is super fun super chill it's a nice place to hang out at with friends and family it's very laid back and there's a Cool vibe with a place. Definitely coming back to try the food. Happy eating and drinking!

I loved the Detroit style pizza because of the crunchy bits of the edge pieces. While the edges were really crisp, the dough was moist and had a nice chew. The crust really stood out the most while the toppings were secondary. We ordered almost one of each kind of pizza but enjoyed the US Pizza Cup Winner the most. The bacon jam was unique as well as the dollop of Ricotta on top. I liked the creamy texture of the ricotta on top. The other pizza that stood out was the New York Style white Pie. Simple, tasty and thinly crusted. It had a nice light garlicy taste with shredded basil on top of the mozzarella. We were celebrating my birthday and had a large party of 17. We stuck around for the Trivia Night which was a fun activity for the adults. I really liked the atmosphere-- a slew of different flavors of hard ciders, beer, wine to drink, talk with friends, and engage in a collaborative activity. I would definitely want to come back. The staff was friendly. I got to spin the wheel for my birthday and won a free beer. The server gave me a sample of the pickled pear hard cider before committing to a whole glass. I usually don't drink alcohol, but I enjoyed it. It felt appropriate to kick off the summer with this fruity beverage!

Very difficult to hear over the sports games, people talking, and generally bad acoustics in the bar. Service was average. Nothing bad, but nothing outstanding. I ordered the nachos ($16.00). The menu stated that they came with chips, chicken, black beans, queso sauce, and pico de gallo. When they arrived at my table, they were covered in jalapeno peppers (some round slices and some whole peppers cut length-wise). I flagged down the staff member who brought them to me and mentioned that wasn't part of the menu description. He looks puzzled as to what I wanted him to do. Umm...remake them entirely. I can't eat that! The fixed order came out quickly and they were good. Maybe I'd come back, but likely not. It's a shame because the whole experience was average at best.

That said, she was super honest right away, didn't blame anyone for the situation and said she would be up to help us in 10 minutes. She kept her word, took our order, got our drinks first and then our appetizers came shortly after. The apps were great! We tried the truffle fries, hummus, and some other finger foods that I can't recall, though everything was delicious. None of us ordered an entree so I'll definitely be back with my family to try again!

As this was just down the street from our office in the Kemper Business District, she thought this would be a cool place to hang out to recap the year for our department and she was right. The place itself is a cute house with what looks like a cool outdoor space, when the weather is nicer. Inside is a small bar when you first walk through the front door. We we seated in a small room off from the main bar, next to a lovely fireplace. We started out with charcuterie boards. Prices range from 4 pieces for $30, 6 pieces for $46 and 8 pieces for $58. The selection of meats and cheeses and were very nice, but the prices seemed steep. The cheeses and meats were as follows: Wooley Rind (Green Dirt Farm) - soft ripened sheep's milk MontAmore (Sartori) - semi firm Italian style Cheddar Goat Gouda (Central Coast Creamery) - crumbly aged goat cheese "Creamy Sexy Blue" - German triple cream cow's milk with blue veining Jamon Serrano, aged 24 months Stagberry - Elk Salami with dried blueberries Finocchiona - Tuscan style salami with fennel seed Pig & Fig Terrine - Country style pork pate with dried figs, cinnamon, ginger All were very good and had a lovely flavor. Due to the number of people nibbling, I asked for extra bread and was treated with toasted sourdough, which was very nice. For dinner, I got the Chicken Tinga Panini (Tomato-Chipotle Chicken, Queso Oaxaca, Arugula, served with Salsa Verde & Guacamole). This was a very good sandwich. I loved the idea of Chicken Tinga in a sandwich format, and it worked. I had saved half of it to take home to have for breakfast the next day, but got wrapped up in good-byes and walked out and left it. Man I was mad! My manager ordered the Roasted Beets (with whipped Feta cheese, toasted pistachios, red onion, dill and a red wine vinaigrette). The serving was huge! She loves beets and said that the dish was very good A few people got the Broccoli Cheddar soup and said it was very good. I wanted to try the oysters as I love East Coast ones, but at $20 for 6, couldn't wrap my mind around that. The wine list was pretty good and on this particular night, we got bottles for a crazy low price. My manager got a bottle of red (can't remember the name) that was $75, but she got it for half price. Same for me for a lovely bottle of sparkling rose. The hostess had a list of wines on her tablet that she showed us as well that were 50% off. The location is quite a drive from Chicago, but the times I have to go to Lake Zurich for team meetings, I may just stop in to camp out for eats and drinks while waiting for my Uber and rush hour traffic to die out.

Bacon, egg, cheese, onion crisps and a perfectly cooked burger won my vote. My pal had a regular cheese burger and was also pleased. My Guinness was on draft while his bourbon cocktail was very good. Unfortunately our wives had a different experience. My wife's fish and chips were very average and the salmon salad. Also wasn't that well received. I think the biggest disappointment of the evening were the chopped brussels sprouts. I'm not a fan and didn't try them, but the other three in my group found them to be unsatisfying due to how light they were. They said it was like eating dry cereal. Our server was very attentive. Unfortunately, things were a bit rushed. We chose to sit in a small room with only a tables, but it still was very loud in there. Made it hard to talk to the table mates. All in all I'd come back for another burger.

Rudy (as he prefers to be called) owns the business and served as our host and tour guide. He is passionate about wine and eager to share his knowledge and answer questions. We were impressed with his enthusiasm and youthful vigor (he recently turned 70!). I found him to be generally amiable. But to be blunt, his occasional flippant remarks to visitors and snapping at his wife were inexcusable. We did not walk through the vineyards only because the ground was saturated by heavy rains that morning, but Rudy explained that he grows 20 different varieties of grapevine. The tasting and seminar were conducted in a large room inside the Valentinos' private home. We did not tour the wine cellar but instead viewed a video of the process. We tasted 5 wines. The teetotalers in our group were given bottles of water in lieu of the tasting, but they paid the same to attend the event as everyone else. The Valentino Vineyards experience and products are geared towards oenophiles who don't flinch at paying premium prices for bottles or cases of award-winning-quality wine that are not sold anywhere else (except at a nearby Sunset Foods). While I did not splurge on a bottle, I must admit that the Valentino wines I tasted were spectacular.
