We had a few drinks and a charcuterie board., BOMB! Delaney was our bartender and she was EXCEPTIONAL. I wanted a martini and she recommended a spicy one.. chefs kiss. (Ask for her! And please tell her Travis sent you!) I'll be back every other week! Because I'm not an alcoholic

Checked out this kind of low key high class cocktail bar. It has a lot more than expected. Mauve…read moreNosh And Libations is one of the classiest places in Shorewood. For sure that's not saying a lot. The drinks are whether the attention but there's some stuff to eat too. Best thing about it is of course the cocktails. It's got quite a few to choose from. There's some that are pretty expensive but some that aren't so bad thankfully. Anyone can find one to their liking. There's of course the classics like martinis. A happy hour is on weekdays to save a few bucks. It's about $12 for sangria. We got the Caribbean Coconut Sangria. Good to help cool off when it gets hot. This is made with coconut rum, lime, pineapple juice, and white rum. Lots of rum in it. There's also a food menu. A few snacks on it basically. It's about $5 to get sides like pickled watermelon. Basically the rinds which actually are good. There's also charcuterie like cheeses and meats. For sure it's one of the best places around here for date nights or even just chilling and hanging. It's located in the plaza with the brewery and a few other restaurants. They're closed Sundays.

A great locally owned bottle shop. Makes for a wonderful place to hang out and make new friends…read more They held a BBQ, Bourbon and Beer pairing dinner that featured Wyler BBQ, J.

This place has the largest selection and best options too. If I see something that I like, they will sell me an individual can instead of getting stuck buying a 4/6/12 pack. Staff here is knowledgeable and friendly of their products. Clean restrooms! This place even sells hard to find meads as well! Not to mention this place doubles as a brewery too! Definitely recommend!

My family and I went to Coopers Hawk a few weeks ago. Late afternoon we only wanted appetizers. We…read moreordered beef and pork sliders. Spinach dip and chips and wine samples and mixed drinks.

We noticed a large group of patron standing along the perimeter of the lobby with their backs towards us as they sipped on wine flights in front of them on the table. We passed a souvenir sales spot on our way to the hostess as well, so we figured we were in a franchise eatery. Fortunately, it was early evening on a weekday. Not too crowded. We were comfortably seated, and Nathaniel Y was our gracious and knowledgeable server. Because all wines are made in house, i tasted one or two before settling on a full glass of red. I wish it had served a bit (60ºF) cooler that the room temperature one i received. I ordered a Soup and Salad Combo. The Tortilla Soup was out of this world wonderful! Full of flavor and texture variants. Even my "Plain Ol' House Salad" was great! Finished with a cup of decaf and a shared molten Chocolate Tiramisu. Heavenly....

The cantaloupe salad was nothing what we expected but so much more. Joe wasn't as hungry so he ordered the sweet crispy spare ribs and the beef tallow fries. I got the bone in corn meal crusted pork chop with a wonderfully fresh sautéed corn maque choux. Save room for the peach shortcake if it's on the menu. Next time we're talking about grabbing a cozy seat at the bar so we can fully enjoy the historic bar and the comfortable room.

The Farmer's Breakfast was really good hearty, fresh, and exactly what you want to start your day. But the real star of the table was the shaved Brussels sprout Caesar bruschetta.

5 stars for Lemont. Probably 4 stars in Chicago…read more Walked in on a Saturday for an early dinner. It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

We got a piece of tiramisu for dessert which also was very good. It was pretty busy there and the service was pretty good sorry about the pictures.

We started with the fried calamari app and it was really good. Fried perfectly, but it did need a hit of salt. Served with cocktail sauce (marinara would be nice too). Love that they also include the tentacles I along with rings. Entrees: wife ordered the Linguini Del Mare. Seafood was properly cooked and flavor was great. She really enjoyed it. I ordered the Pork Chop Milanese and is was really good. One thing that stands out here is that the portions are huge! Appetizers and Entrees and the house salad that they serve. We were only able to eat about half of our meals after the huge appetizer and salad and ended up taking the leftovers home with us. Service was great as well. We will certainly come back here again if we're in the area and in the mood for Italian food. We recommend La Dolce Vita Per Tutti.

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!

I felt like the owner was snarky with myself and a few other family members. I feel her and her employees may have been overwhelmed with the size of the party. I was not impressed with her selection of flowers offered for my daughters picture but we can always go to the store to replace them later. I would enjoy doing another palette party in the future. I think the they should consider bringing in more employees or making the parties a little longer when there are that many guests and that may help with some of the snarky and rushed moments.

Portions are generous so hopefully you're very hungry or be prepared to bring plenty home. I was only able to eat half of my food and brought the other half home and my sandwich seemed better the next day which isn't always the case when you bring things home!!

Came in on a busy Saturday night after attending another event in the area. The bar was hopping and we snagged the last 2 available seats. At first, it appeared they had 4 bartenders, a manager, and a barback behind the bar. However, other than the barback consistently washing/unloading dishes I am not sure what was going on with the service. Manager was not providing any assistance to his staff. However, he was filling his own water bottle. Other staff were taking selfies with guests. It took awhile to order a second round as well as pay our tab. This was a one and done visit for me.
