Returned after six years and had the same amazing experience. The NY strip was cooked perfectly, and the mashed potatoes were just as impressive. The drinks were well-made--both strong and flavorful. My husband ordered the burger, which was equally delicious, and the fries were some of the best we've had. We started with the baked goat cheese appetizer, and it did not disappoint. We visited on a Wednesday evening with reservations, and while it wasn't overly busy, the service was efficient and everything arrived promptly. Looking forward to coming back again! read more

Wine Knot - Thai style sticky ribs appetizer - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Celebrated an early Valentine's Day at Wine Knot and really enjoyed the food! We were celebrating Valentine's Day a little early and were looking for a place in Kenosha so we could stay local and we saw the reviews for Wine Knot were good, so, we checked it out. We made a reservation beforehand and we were glad we did, as all the tables were filled when we arrived and the kitchen closed at 8:30pm. The ambiance was very bar- like... they did a nice job making it look upper -scale but it was still very bar-y. We sat at a booth and felt it was very comfortable to enjoy a nice meal. We started with a couple fancy drinks- chocolate cherry martini was good! We shared Bacon Wrapped Dates (yum) and then we shared 2 entrees- the macadamia nut halibut and the pork tenderloin. Both were delicious and very well prepared & presented. Overall, we had a very nice meal, it was a little pricey but I'm sure their food costs have increased, like everything else, and you could tell their ingredients were quality. Street parking was free, which was great and convenient. If you're looking for a nice meal in the area, give Wine Knot a try! Enjoy! read more

Great place for date night! My wife and I have been going here for years and always have a great meal. Brian is the head chef and oversees everything that leaves the kitchen. Best New York Strip in Kenosha!! read more

Great ambiance and food. Excellent service as well. The meatloaf was juicy and delicious.

Highlights 1) Friendly Service 2) Nice Ambiance 3) Diverse Menu Stopped in with a friend recently and really liked this spot! There is a good size wine selection and you can even do fights. We found the pours to be generous! Vibe is really cute. We ate the bar which had full food service. The bartender was friendly and we got our drinks and then appetizers promptly. We did the Brussel sprouts, lamb, and spinach dip. Loved the appetizers! The lamb was lacking a little flavor for me but overall good! If you are in Kenosha this is definitely worth a stop! read more

First of all, I can shoot myself for not coming here before this day. Sorry I never looked up whether they served food. My experience today was tremendous. The greeter was very nice when I walked in on this Wednesday night. Gave me a choice to sit, but I recommend everyone to make reservations because she asked me. Within 5 min, my waitress Kaela; who I might say was outstanding overall, took my drink order and even asked the bartender of a recommended wine for me. Well they didn't disappoint, even though it was a sparking wine. Light is what I wanted today. I ordered the Butter Chicken appetizer, and man it was good. More than enough to be a meal, all by itself. It's not spicy and it's served with the biggest piece of Naan I've ever seen and was rolled up. Good Lord, this dish was good. I don't know why but, but I ordered the burger. It was cooked perfectly in accordance to my request. Do not, I repeat, do not put any condiments on your burger until you take your first bite. You will miss out on the goodness of the aioli. It was a very tasty thick burger served with hot seasoned steak fries. I had the Carmel coffee cake; which is served warm. Simple mini bunt cake. Delish it was. Atmosphere....very quaint and very nice. I love it. Older clientele, for the most part; from the time I was here 40s plus. Music is not blasting here, so you don't have to worry about having an intimate time together. Played very low. They have 2 tvs. The bar is L-shaped with about 17 seats. The kitchen is also viewable from the dining area. If you're a foodie, you will love this place. You want to impress your lady or man, you will love this place. Girls night out, absolutely. Outstanding job Wine Knot, you're now my Kenosha favorite. So I will be back. Halibut will be next. Lol P.S. A special thank you to Kaela, your prompt service and politeness was outstanding. I did like that other staff members were busy the entire time during my visit. read more

We stopped in for a night cap so no food review on this one although the dishes I've had here were nicely prepared and delicious. Wine knot is always such a special place for us. The service is always good and very attentive. Our bartender was super friendly and would carry nice conversation with us while we enjoyed our drinks. The bar is a nice place to sit and enjoy time together. The entire environment is always quaint. read more

First time visit and it was very easy to find with plenty of street parking. Once inside the restaurant has a really cool vibe, nicely decorated with a partially exposed kitchen, a rather large bar (always a plus), and plenty of booths and tables. We had a reservation and were promptly seated at our prepared table for six. Our server was quick to respond taking our drink orders from a menu that includes numerous wines, wine flights and a couple of craft cocktails. The menu offered steaks, seafood dishes, and several other options. I went with the halibut which was mention other reviews, and couldn't have been more pleased. A nice sized piece with a delightful sauce that has a ting of lemon, tasty capers on top, garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus that was well prepared. Highly recommended and we will be back. read more

Wine Knot - Halibut - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Love the filet! great service! Annoyed by a $4.00 service charge to sub green beans for asparagus

I have wanted to try this place for awhile now and decided to go last night. I booked a reservation for the heated patio area at 6:45 pm. If anyone is afraid of being cold don't be, they keep it at a very comfortable temperature! The reason for the rating is the following: first off the door to get into the heated patio is obnoxious. We were the table closest to the door so every time the waitress came in and out or someone was being seated or a table was being cleaned, that door was constantly opening and slamming. Very hard to have a conversation when that is constantly slamming. #2 reason the low rating: if my dinner for 2 people is over $100 I better be getting more than 3 or 4 pieces of asparagus with my meal. I better be getting soup or salad with my meal as well. I ordered the halibut which was delicious but the size of mashed potatoes and asparagus left me wondering what I was going to eat for a midnight snack. My halibut being $37 should come with a soup or a salad if you are going to give me a gold sized ball of mashed potatoes and 4 pieces of asparagus. My husband said his meal was okay but again he also complained of the meal size. read more

The food here is fabulous! The halibut was wonderful. Very large portion. Next will split for sure

Love. Love, love Wine Knot. I eat here frequently with my daughter. The ambiance in the restaurant is excellent and the food is always delicious. My one complaint is that the menu lacks vegetarian choices. Last time I went, I ordered an impossible burger that was just ordinary. It didn't seem to live up to the rest of the entrees on the menu. The reservation booking on their website is convenient and the location is great for outdoor seating in the summer. I highly reccomend the spinach and artichoke dip. It's amazing. read more

Went for dinner with some friends. It was a small cool ambiance. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were so attentive. I'm a huge fan of old fashions and I asked them to be creative with mine and do something different. They did not disappoint. I ordered the pork and omg was it delicious. I'm not a huge fan since it's always dry in other places but my friends suggested it. It was super juicy and tender, so much flavor ! Definitely coming back. read more

Went here for a date last night. The restaurant had a few non alcoholic beer options for my husband who does not drink and I had 2 nicely crafted dirty martinis with blue cheese olives. We got the brussel sprouts for an appetizer, they were delicious! Our server was attentive and very sweet. Our entrees were both super tasty, we got the barramundi over lobster risotto and the duck coconut curry. We will be back soon! read more

I used to love this place. The ambiance was always nice and the food amazing. Always ordered the filet mignon and the flight of wine. I took my family to celebrate this past May 10th and was very disappointed and embarrassed by their food. I had my family come from out of town and was super excited for them to try Wine Knot. Sadly, it was a big disappointment. Our filet mignons were decent but lack flavor and the texture was awful. Nothing like before, were it used to melt in your mouth. The flight of wines went up in price tremendously. The service was great but would definitely not go back for a long time. read more

Wine Knot - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This used to be my favorite place to go in Kenosha. Unfortunately my last experience there was less than Panera/ hospital food quality. Our appetizers, deviled eggs, were just terrible. They were over cooked and rubbery and the flavor was unpalatable. These were sent back and the owner wanted to fight with us about it rather than conducting himself in a professional manner. The rest of the experience went even further downhill from there. Everything was sent back for various egregious culinary fails. The night was ended with drive through food and wine I already owned. read more

Extremely disappointed. I understand the menu on the website not being updated slipping through the cracks. I would totally expect slow service if the place is packed. 8pm on a Friday night, it was not. Multiple servers. Only the booths were full. One party we saw sitting outside. One other table, but they were finished and just finishing drinks off and left. The bar 2/3rds full. We were on time for our reservation for two. We sat, alone, not even acknowledged by anyone other than the hostess when she seated us.....for 20 minutes. We are willing to excuse a lot these days. Not even having someone stop by to let us know they would be with us as soon as they could for 20mins, in a not pack restaurant, with servers visible standing around at the end of the bar? That's just bad. We will not be back. Such a shame too, it was such a nice place. read more

In a word - disappointing. Drinks were 4-5. Nice wine and beer choices. Service was a 5, friendly and prompt. Food - 2. Poorly seasoned foods. We stopped in last sat night without a reservation. No tables but openings at the bar. Friendly and attentive bar tender and staff. Now for the bad part. My wife ordered the pot roast. Beef was tasty, moist and tender but the side of veggies was very over salted. I had the coconut duck curry which sounded very interesting. It had no discernible curry flavor but was very hot with extreme red peppers. Should have sent it back. Tasted like a less than amateur attempt at curry seasoning. Sorry to say this because the ambience,drinks and service were great, but its doubtful we will dine there again anytime soon. read more

Tried this place out for the first time last weekend. When it first opened there was a lot of hype surrounding it. I have to be honest, I'm not sure what the hype was BUT my meal was very good. I got the New York strip and it was cooked perfectly. The asparagus and mashed potatoes on the side were also very yummy. The service was very good as well as the drinks. This was an all around good restaurant experience and I will definitely be back for ladies night or a date night! read more

Friendly Staff, and Food is always consistently good. Would definitely recommend to try.

My goodness, I am absolutely in awe of this place. I am from Scottsdale, AZ which has some of the best restaurants in the US, and this place is right on par with the best of them. The ambiance is quaint and and modern, wonderful place for a date night. The service was wonderful too, very knowledgeable staff who know their dishes. The food was astonishing. We began with a Caesar salad and typically that's not something I'll leave in a review, but it has to be mentioned. The dressing is perfect, the croutons were fantastic, just a peak at what was to come. My wife ordered the salmon with shrimp fried rice and it was such a generous portion, and so delicious!! I was between the duck and the braised short ribs and ended up getting the short rib, my goodness!! So tender it melts in your mouth. 10/10, we will definitely be back. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Wisconsin! read more

'  4 minutes ago This used to be a great place but not anymore. I don't know of management changed or what but they have gone down hill fast, Just went to dinner there and wanted to order the halibut but don't eat mash potatos so I asked for the rice which I have done before several times. I was told by the waitress that they can't do that and I respoponded that they have done that several times before and the rice was offered on a less expensive dish. She came back and said the rice would be a $7.00 surcharge. Now since the rice was offered on a less expensive dish and it must be available, I can't understand the excessive surcharge. I guess any business can do whatever they want but they just lost a loyal customer and I will let everyone at the marina know about this. I wasn't asking for something that was special or not available just something that they had already offered. So for the manager, you just lost hundreds of dollars in business for $7.00. Great decision. read more

Wine Knot is by far one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in Kenosha. From their wine selection and signature weekly cocktails to their diverse and delicious menu, you cannot go wrong with anything you choose. The halibut is by far one of the best things I've eaten hear along with their filet and lamb chops. For appetizer don't forget to order their French onion dip. It comes with their homemade chips! You do not want to miss this place. read more

Wine Knot - Wine - American Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

I mean, for Kenosha Wisconsin you should give them props for trying. For really trying to bring this city up, no, close them down... Changing your menu is great, but you never take staples off you just add what works. As for the sous vide meat, it doesn't work. It probably saves your kitchen staff from some unwanted embarrassment but it's tough and void of taste. Except for the little bit of sauce you put on top I guess. Oh, and by the way, my rare steak order came out medium at best. The mashed potatoes taste like they came from my welfare friend down the street, growing up,who had to get powdered shit all the time. My suggestion is take the awesome staff that you have, go behind closed doors for a day and work out the plan that's going to carry the neighborhood with fantastic food. Right now it's just not there and it's hit or miss. Saving grace BTW, the duck was fantastic. From an it that knows duck... read more

This is has been one of my few go to places in Kenosha. The food is consistently good. My favorite dishes are the hamburger and the meatloaf. The chipotle Mayo is outstanding. The servers are wonderful. I love sitting outside except for the noise from the loud motorcycles and cars that cruise downtown. read more

I love the atmosphere of Wine Knot! The food is good, we have never been disappointed, and the staff is great! I recommend it!

Food is amazing! Outside seating is lovely and the staff is extremely nice. I will definitely go back.

First off..... It's an up charge to substitute items on the menu??? If you are going to be that pretentious about your food, it should be the best meal ever served. Not the case.... I don't think the chef even owns a box of kosher salt in his kitchen, let alone prepare his food with any respect for the ingredients. The food in this place is an absolute travesty. Under seasoned, over cooked, and presented like a 1st year culinary student. Such a shame for a restaurant with one of the best wine lists in the state. Go for the wine, but go somewhere else for dinner before. read more

Always excellent food and service- the steak is one of the best in town- perfectly prepared every time and the bartenders are always friendly and fast. One of my favorite places downtown read more

Outstanding halibut done to perfection. I would highly recommend!The service was great the people were very hospitable.

Food was amazing! We just moved from California and this felt like a slice of home, great food and great wine selection! Definitely will be back! Highly recommend for wine and foodies read more

Get the lemon mascarpone cake and the blueberry mule! So good! Sat at the bar and the vibe is good here. Will be back!

First off, the outdoor COVID-proof huts! Second, Uber friendly front of house! Third, amazing chef!! But... hands down, the best part of this entire experience is Cam! Cam, how to explain the experience of Cam? He is - in a word - FAB. U. LOUS!! We almost ( just almost ) wish we lived here!!! Every trip to Kenosha will include Wine Knot. read more

I've come in here countless time and have never been disappointed. I like how the menu changes based on the season. Everything I've tried so far has been great. The cosmos are amazing and the wine is tasteful. It's my go to place for a lovely Saturday dinner. read more

The next time you venture to Kenosha, Wisconsin for any reason (college town, lake, outlet malls, etc) and need some food, Wine Knot is a very good option. My reason for being in southern Wisconsin was for Carthage College Men's soccer, and Erica, Erica's mom and I needed some food before braving the chilly 40s degree night last Wednesday. The Baker women have had trouble finding satisfactory dining choices, which only added to our enjoyable meal. As the name implies, Wine Knot is a small but fun atmosphere wine bar and patio in downtown Kenosha. There is a long bar, two large communal wooden high top tables, and individual tables along the wall. There's fun posters and signage, plus a few TVs to catch whatever game is playing. The menu is simple and to the point, exactly what a down-to-earth wine bar should offer. The wine and beer list looked extensive, though we didn't take time to explore it at length. Our meal was tasty with no surprises, middle of the road Midwestern food. We started with fish tacos, possibly the best dish of the meal, and seasoned parmesan russet fries with chipotle aioli. After tasting some good starters, I was slightly dissapointed with the main courses. I ordered Sweet and Spicy Chicken with Soba Noodles and Seasonal Vegetables. The dish was quite simple and relatively bland. Everything looked replicable at home without much work. The chicken was neither sweet nor spicy, and the vegetables added little. Erica did not love her ahi tuna and garlic noodles, preferring to eat all the noodles and some tuna. The food wasn't bad, just nothing special. I recommend choosing simple American dishes such as a burger. There is a nice and fun vibe to Wine Knot and it's a good place to grab a drink and a snack. I'm certain the patio in the summer is a great place to spend time and enjoy the breeze from Lake Michigan. The main entrees are well prepared and simple, but what more do you need from a wine bar in Kenosha? I have only enjoyed one meal in Kenosha but from what the Baker women said, this is one of the better options. read more

A wine bar with no cheese and no bread. If you go there know that Wine Knot is seriously carb-challenged, don't know if they're going for the "paleo" thing or what the deal is. There is also no pasta to be found on the menu. In fact the limited menu is extremely meat-heavy, mostly of the red variety, so there is nothing here for a vegetarian and not much for a pescatarian. It's also not a good value for the food you get. With a $34 entree I expect at least a small house salad, even if the restaurant doesn't offer bread (I was told they stopped during the pandemic; not sure what bread has to do with that but in any case the pandemic ended two years ago), and also to feel full after a meal, which I didn't. My fish entree had great flavor and texture, but came with a stingy portion of asparagus. In all, one glass of wine, no appetizer, one entree and one dessert cost way too much to leave feeling slightly hungry. I've been here twice and service is hit-or-miss depending on how busy they are. Won't be coming back unless it's just for drinks and a shared appetizer before dinner somewhere else. read more

One of the original nicER restaurants that started the revitalization of downtown Kenosha. I can't remember the year it started out but it used to be one of only a few good places downtown you could go for a classy dinner/romantic date. I still really like the place however it has certainly dropped back a step or two on classy for Kenosha; it's now more of a comfortable local hang out with a lot of regulars (patrons and staff included). They don't take reservations, first come first serve. The current Covid restrictions lessened the interior seating options but they adapted with adding some more outdoor tables, something I really enjoy on a warmer summer evening when downtown is crowded with people walking about. The food is good, I can't ever remember not enjoying a meal here. It's also a real nice spot to just stop in for drinks. There are always a handful of signature cocktails plus a decent offering of higher end spirits, and of course wine, although, for being a "wine" place, their selections isn't as extensive as one might expect, still good for me though. read more
