First time at Verve and went for their Burgers and Burgundy night. Wasn't really sure what to…read moreexpect here. The menu had a few more items than expected so we each got the Ilixr burger and split some Gruyère fries. The burger was decent, but a little pricey for a pretty basic à la carte burger. I also wasn't a huge fan of the sauce and probably should've asked for no pickles. The Gruyère fries were also nothing special. Luckily we got the giardiniera on the side because it was pretty spicy. There were 4-5 wines to choose from and we both really liked the ones we picked! Would go back next time for just the wine and maybe to buy something or go to an event to learn more about wine.

Each room had its own character. I loved hearing about the rich history of the building as well as how it became the tasting room it is today. There were four of us who visited. A tasting is $20 for (8) sample pours. I was surprised at how good each of the wines were! Our group's favorites were the Sauvignon Blanc, 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bishop's Blend. Jordan guided us through the tasting telling us about each wine and answering any questions we had. He did a great job at keeping our glasses full while also giving us space to enjoy. Overall, this is a great wine tasting option in the area!

Looking forward to trying more wine there again soon!

The bar space was bright and clean, with hooks under the bar to hang out purses and coats, and space for 10 to comfortably taste test around the bar. The flight she provided was $18, with a great variety of lesser known champagnes, which we all really enjoyed! We ended up buying a bottle to share between us at the end that Vicky recommended and it was outstanding! We've already booked the private room for our group's book club in February, great thing is it is BYOF! We are definitely looking forward to coming here more. She did mention she has a handful of non-sparkling, which I may opt to try next time.

I've been a couple times for the Friday wine tastings and a couple times just for food and wine with friends. I've always loved everything I've tried from their rotating wine selection, and the flatbreads they offer make for a solid meal. I definitely expect to be back many times!

There was a very nice waiter who checked on me periodically. When I visited, they only had flatbread from the menu available, so I ended up eating somewhere else, but based on the shop and their menu, they have a lot of different wine and other beverage options so I hope to go back for happy hour soon.

I've been in the entertainment world in Chicago for 25 years, and I don't want to work with anyone else ever again. Ross and the team at unMuddled were honest, fair, and went above and beyond to not only make us feel special, but make our guests feel special. unMuddled cultivated a specialized menu for our wedding, and worked with us not only on the menu, but also helped us figure out what alcohol to buy. They crafted specialized cocktails for both the bride and groom, and honestly stole the show in the best way possible: they didn't need any tending to. When I first reached out to Ross, I immediately felt at ease, and never once worried about how our wedding would turn out. Ross, I hope you read these reviews... I can't thank you enough for helping to make our wedding the night it was. You're the best.
