I am writing this review to bring an on-site management issue to the attention of WeEat Hospitality Group corporate leadership. Attempts to reach corporate through their listed executive emails bounced back as undeliverable. On June 21 around 2pm, I experienced highly unacceptable and unprofessional behavior from on-site managers, Meghan & Javier. Upon arrival, I was referred to the bar area where a member of staff took my to-go order which consisted of an appetizer and two desserts (slices of cake ) from your menu. Five minutes after placing my order, the young lady returned and said she was informed that the restaurant, despite having it on the menu presented to me, no longer offers cake slices to go, but if I dined in, I would be able to order the cake. I asked to speak with the manager. "Meghan" approached and said that, despite the false advertising on the menu, we could not order the normal size cake to go but a smaller version was available. When asked to see the menu reflecting said portion and pricing, it was not available. I then asked if there was someone else who could help. After waiting 10 minutes, manager "Javier" approached, not introducing himself, and spoke with an aura of disrespect, simply stating that it isn't necessary for the restaurant to advertise the smaller cake slice or price, and the only way we would be able to order is if we were to dine-in. When I offered for myself and my daughter to dine in at the bar with the order we originally placed to go (baked goat cheese with extra crostini, chocolate cake and carrot cake), we were told that was insufficient and that a "full tab" would be needed. In all of my dining experience, I have never been treated with such contempt, especially from management. Instead of working to resolve a standard issue or offering some sort of solution , the manager simply walked away without any resolve. This behavior is completely out of line with standard hospitality practices. I have submitted a formal report through WeEat website intake form on June 30 and am waiting for a prompt response from a regional director or HR representative to resolve this matter. I hope that in the future you will address these issues and improve the service at Goat and Vine as treating patrons on this level should not be taken lightly. read more

Dinner the night before Valentine's Day to avoid the crowds. We like this place because it's got that right warm, low light Mediterranean rustic feel. The food was delicious. Rigatoni Boscaiola was full of flavor. And the Sinful Chocolate Cake (for 2) is ridonkulous! It would feed 6 and you might still have leftovers. Faith made good recommendations and took good care of us. The bar was busy/slow on a busy weekend, but they made up for it on our tab. And we brought a lot of food home to eat off for days. We had leftovers of our speciality pastas, plus they give you a second pasta entree to go. So I'm looking forward to my lasagna. And lots of leftover cake. read more

My husband and I went to the resturant on mother's day with a 12:30pm reservation. Happy we had the reservation as it was extremely busy. We waited a short while until we were seated and water brought to the table. As we looked at the menu, our waitress brought over some warm bread. Which im happy she did. We put our order in if an appetizer and two entrees. My husbads side salad with his meal came out before our appetizer, which then came out nearly 45 minutes later. We ended up getting out food almost an hour later. Our waitress did apologize about the wait time. I ordered their pasta and they were sold out of the take a traditional one home I was told afterwards when we inquired about it when the food came to the table. Over all the food was good. It came to the table hot. The resturant itself is beautiful, music played not too loud, and the spacing of tables were great. read more

Great food, drinks, and service. Love the vibe in here. I go with the old fashioned for a drink and any of the pastas for dinner.

Such a cute place with perfect vibe!! Tried the watermelon and Blackberry moscato!! Highly recommend watermelon! It was delicious The food was amazing we just needed up getting apps. Service was excellent too despite a busy night!! read more

Came here on a whim after going to the Liv Golf event nearby and so happy we did! When we walked up, we got a huge whiff of garlic and honestly I'm a big garlic girly so I was so happy! The breadsticks came out super fast and kept coming. They were so flavorful and warm. Very good to snack on. They only had one kind of soup, Italian wedding soup. It's not my fave but it was filling. The portion sizes were huge!! Good price for the dishes so you basically get two dishes. My chicken parm was enough for two meals. It tasted like it should. No problems with it but I wish for more sauce for the pasta with it. I'm a sauce girl. Overall, I'd go back! It hit the spot! read more

All the food is great but the free focaccia is some of the best free bread I've ever had . We also love their ambiance.

The atmosphere and decor in this place looked really cute. They have a huge wine list and even option to become a member. We were out celebrating my husbands birthday and first time here. Let me tell you, food comes in really large portions especially the entrees so totally worth sharing instead of getting your own dish individually. Wish we were told that. We had lots of leftovers as we got the stuffed mushrooms and free bread appetizer. Our entrees came with soup or salad which we got the salad itself. Once the entrees came I was practically full. The food was good overall but I felt the chicken could have used more flavor. It was on the bland side hence why I took away two stars. Overall nice place but one tell customers sizing on entrees, and the flavors Were lacking read more

Place was unexpectedly great with a horrible name. Was looking for a nice dinner while on business and overlooked this place a few times due to the name. Glad I went in. Bar area seating was very inviting and comfortable. Bar and waitstaff were exceptionally as were the craft cocktails. Dinner was delicious. I will return. read more

Checked out Goat and Vine while staying at a nearby hotel. Cozy atmosphere and they were quite busy. I love when an Italian/american restaurant offers bread service (all should). The bread was seasoned, hot, soft, and delicious. Caesar salad also very good although I would have enjoyed a little more dressing. The Chicken Parm was definitely disappointing. The breading and preparation was much less than I expected from them and more in line that you would find at a fast food establishment. The pasta and the red sauce were both very very good. I actually returned the next night and enjoyed a bowl of pasta which also was very good. Service during both trips was excellent. read more

LOVED our experience here, will definitely be coming again! They have an amazing pasta special that's so worth it! We got the frito misto to start and that + the bread would have gotten me full already! I could've eaten both all night! But of course had to save some space for the entree, I got the bucatini carbonara, which was super tasty. The restaurant is so beautiful inside, super picturesque and they even have a cute picture wall! Will definitely come back! The service was also top tier, thank you to the great host who helped us out! read more

This was my second visit to Goat & Vine. I'm not much of a drinker and I wasn't disappointed coming here. I tried a glass of the sparkling rosé and my bestie and I started with the fresh baked bread which was still warm when it got to our table. The staff was kind and friendly throughout our entire visit. Another great thing about dining here is the BOGO pasta dishes! The interior was very well decorated and felt like a great place for date night. I'd highly recommend this suburban hidden gem! read more

Visited for a dinner for 7, a full vegetarian party. The service and quality of food was amazing and we felt valued as a customer. The shift manager and the server were attentive and actively helped us decide the amount of food and types of dishes to bring variety to the table. We all enjoyed our time and everyone left with a satisfied belly. I was practicing dry January, so I got to try the NA drinks, of which they have a couple options: including a soda, a beer and a splendid passionfruit mojito. The latter was tasty and not too sugary either. I'm not surprised of the slim NA options, as the "Winery" is part of their name! DO's: * Have the complimentary Garlic bread * Try the appetizers Goat Cheese Balls and Crispy Brussel Sprouts * Take advantage of their BOGO Traditional Pasta offer (see in person menu) * Spaghetti Al Formaggio Parmigiano pasta - it's made using a shot of whiskey! * Voice your dietary restrictions before ordering, they are very accommodating * Reserve ahead, especially for groups 6+ * Consider ordering family style, because the mains/pastas can feed 2-4 people DON'Ts: * Skip their humongous wine list, they have a variety * Forget about the wine tasting flights (if you cannot decide what to try) * Order the mushrooms, they are only 4 big pieces and they don't please like the other apps Also to note: The atmosphere is great for a dinner date, family gathering and hints upscale, but they welcome casual dressers. Thank you G+V for a wonderful evening. read more

The food was great. The wine was great. The service was great. Was not expecting to find this gem.

We made reservations for 9 people to celebrate my elderly father-in-law's 80th birthday. Family drove from Wisconsin for this, and the man on the phone (Juan Martinez) was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional from the very start. When we arrived to an empty restaurant, he cut us off mid-sentence, announced our reservation was canceled, offered no apology, no explanation, and zero attempt to fix anything. They didn't have the decency to inform us that our reservation was canceled prior to our arrival . We found out when we arrived. He talked over us and treated us like we were an inconvenience instead of paying customers -- on a once-in-a-lifetime family milestone. This was humiliating, upsetting, and completely unacceptable. Do not waste your time or money here. Avoid at all costs!!!! read more

Nice waitress, Maria. I ordered vodka ravioli it was ice cold, they did bring me a new entree 10 minutes later. Then I was supposed to receive free meal I ordered lasagna and it took 20 minutes to get only after we contacted the hostess. Bad customer service!! read more

Zero stars if I could. We made reservations for Mother's Day months ago. When we arrived at 5:55 for our 6 pm reservation, we couldn't find anyone to check us in. The lobby was packed. 30 minutes later we finally got a guy to check us in, the. he said "I'll be with you in a minute" and never returned. Finally got a table an HOUR after our reservation time. More than half the menu was "unavailable." We won't be back. read more

After moving to Bolingbrook a year ago, this was my first time trying this restaurant. Much larger than I expected and really nice inside. Had an early reservation on a Friday night and glad we did as it was filling up. Took advantage of their pasta deal and ordered the short rib bolognese and get a pasta to take home for free. A smaller version of one of their traditional pastas, but anxious to try their eggplant Parmesan. The food was tasty and a good sized portion. At $36 a bit hefty in price, but all restaurants are charging more these days. But I will say it was good not great. I would love to see at least some mushrooms added, and I'll personally add some red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch. Our only complaint was our waitress who seemed annoyed from the beginning and possibly misinformed. She had said all of the pastas are gluten-free when one of my friends asked for a gluten-free menu. She gave her a gluten friendly menu, but then went on to say all the pastas were gluten-free, which I highly doubt. Not very responsive with us having to ask for more water and didn't offer dessert until we asked, not bothering to explain them so we were surprised when we saw the hefty price of $30. Would help if she explained that feeds 3 to 4 people. She also didn't tell us about the wine club. read more

We got the buy one take one home for free, pasta deal. The pastas we had were okay. Pasta and sauce tasted store bought. Truffle cacio pepe was swimming in a butter sauce bath which made it overwhelming. Pastas were overcooked. I did enjoy the decor and atmosphere but the food was subpar. Maybe this is a place mainly for wine tasting. read more

I had a mostly great experience at Goat & Vine Restaurant. When we first walked in, there were three people at the host stand having a conversation. We weren't acknowledged right away, and it was a bit bizarre to be standing there unnoticed until I mentioned it. From there, the experience really turned around thanks to our server, Alina. She was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She mentioned she was new which made her service even more impressive. She did a fantastic job checking in on us and making sure everything was right. You can tell she's very genuine. For food, we ordered the bruschetta, grandma's meatballs, and tried a few spritz drinks. The portions were generous, which I always appreciate. The bruschetta was excellent. The bread had the perfect crisp without being too hard, and the tomatoes and burrata tasted fresh and flavorful. The meatballs were tasty as well, however they were kind of cold when they came out. The polenta had a nice crisp on the outside. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with good service. My main reason for giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is from the initial impression when we walked in without being acknowledged. Also I would've liked the meatballs to be hotter. Other than that, I'd definitely come back and hope to sit in Alina's section again! read more

We went here 4/18 to celebrate our engagement so I'm giving it 5 stars. The ambience is really nice and our waitress was really attentive. However, we did not enjoy a few things. Matt's sandwhich needs some kind of au jus dip because mine was bone dry. My fiancé ordered the medina steak thing. Way too much sauce and it was not a tasty sauce. Should be served on the side of the steak not smothering it. Also don't know when their deliveries are but they were out of quite a few drinks. Still giving it 5 stars so they stay open but please add that au jus dip. Everything else about that sandwhich was tasty, just super dry read more

Second visit... Had a reservation at 1:30 PM on Mother's Day. When we arrived the lobby was full of people waiting. We checked in and we weren't seated until 2:10 PM. It was clear that they were having issues in the kitchen as we sat and watched the hostess and manager go in and out of the kitchen several times shaking their heads on the way out. Once we were seated we saw empty tables setup but with no one being seated so we made the assumption they were also short staffed. Once we were seated we were rushed to order food before we ordered drinks. We asked to order drinks first with an appetizer. We were pushed to order our entrees at the same time. We were told they were not doing the take home pasta with a pasta order because it was Mother's Day. We were told they were out of Lasagna. We heard them tell other tables other items were not available too. It was 3:00 PM on Mother's Day and they were out of major items. We finished our food and asked to order dessert. We were told they were out of tiramisu. We asked to order one piiece of chocolate cake to go. We were told there was no carryout orders because it was Mother's Day!? Huh? So, we ordered the chocolate cake, took a bite, asked for a box and packaged it ourselves and took it home. We only saw our server for ordering, food delivery and the check. Never checked in with us any other time. We will definitely avoid going here again for any occasion that we want to enjoy. read more

Goat & Vine feels like the kind of place where you can pull off a "business casual" meal and still look like you know what you're doing. It's chic inside, just off the highway (easy for a Midway pit stop), and even has a sleek bar area that looks ready-made for private parties. The food was excellent. I had the Bang Bang Shrimp Salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and the complimentary bread was also a highlight. My coworker ordered the chicken parmesan, which came as a very large portion and tasted great. While I didn't try the drinks, the wine and cocktail list looked appealing. Expect to spend around $30 per person (before drinks) -- overall, a spot worth revisiting. read more

Very nice restaurant. Ambiance was very clean , romantic and gives winery vibes. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We sat next to a very chattey fella. i ordered a white wine flight. All of the flavors were good and crisp. For dinner i ordered The Madeira. Everything was good and flavorful. The gravy and mash potatoes were savory and good. The steak was seared perfectly and tasted great could have had some more steak! definitely will go to this restaurant again! read more

Food was amazing! Atmosphere was great, it felt like I was in Europe. Definitely will be back.

We've been before and they have really good food and drinks. Went today around 3 pm and they had half of the restaurant rented out for a party, which I completely understand. So they were only seating in the bar, which again, is okay. The problem is that we were the only ones waiting for a table and they couldn't tell us how long it would be. Was it going to be 5 minutes? Was it going to be an hour? Who knows? With 3 kids, not knowing how long it's going to be really isn't an option. Not being able to have an approximate wait time is the issue. read more

Overall, I thought the place was modern yet intimate. Very low lighting w a light at each table. The table bread was delicious and soft! I thought the wine flight was a good deal w three different flavors to try. All the dishes were tasty but the short rib bolognese might have been my favorite. I would go back and try the ambience during the warmer months and sit outside and try happy hour. The service was kind and friendly. Would recommend for a date night. read more

The restaurant is beautiful perfect for a date night very picture ready if you're looking to snap some photos. The service was great. Now let's get into this food I got jambalaya and a piece of Oreo cake. The jambalaya was delicious but the cake was drrrrrrry and tasted old for 20 dollars I expected at least moisture in the cake it was awful. I originally wanted the decant chocolate cake but of course they didn't have that. I'm very disappointed in this cake why would they serve this . read more

Booked our 15th anniversary dinner with you for last night and included close family. Megan could not have been nicer after we were seated and was very good with guiding our menu choices. Full disclosure, front of the house was not good in attempting to shove us into a close, uncomfortable corner when we arrived for our reservation as there was no one in the restaurant at 5:30pm. Nevertheless, we were pleased with drinks and appetizers including Rose Spritz, Peach Moscato and the Frito Misto and Bruschetta. On to the mains, Short Ribs, Vesuvio, Marsala and Madeira were all well received (and the portions are huge!). We all enjoyed our meals. When Megan asked us about dessert we had just taken our last bite and didn't commit. Unfortunately, the restaurant made no recognition of our anniversary (which I'd made note of on OpenTable). My wife made me very aware of this when we got in the car on the way home. I also had to call Megan back over before we left the restaurant to obtain my loyalty rewards as they did not automatically pick this check up. She did take care of it for me. Lots of good things here, but I would ask for a bit more attention to detail for the little things as we have a lot of choices where to spend our dining dollars. read more

Yelp led us here on a road trip for lunch. We are Keto fanatics, and they have some nice salads with protien on the menu. The restaurant is close to the freeway. The restaurant is massive and beautifully appointed. We ate in the bar for a late lunch. The bartender was attentive and friendly. I had the Skirt Steak Salad with blu cheese. The steak had a tasty char on it. It came with lots of cheese ( tasted like gorganzola). My wife had a chicken caesar. The Caesar dressing was on the tangy side, which she likes. Check out the desert case when you go. They have some amazing cakes for sale. read more

What an unforgettable Mother's Day! I've Never seen such incompetence from a manager in all my years! The hostess at the front desk, had no answers to any questions when we were checking in for our reservations at 5:15. We were called in at 6:00, we waited 1/2 hour at a dark table because our light was not working, with no water, no human, no acknowledgment! Finally water. Took a long time for appetizers, then another 1/2 hr later she comes to the table and says we are out of mushrooms. Then we try to order entrees, sorry we are out of anything crab, mushrooms, no lemonade for my granddaughter, no kids menu cause, sorry we are out and printer isn't working. This was early dinner time and it's a restaurant!!!! And you are out of food on Mother's Day, the one day someone else cooks for us? Like I said sat at 6:00 our food came out at 8:00 and that's after calling the manager over and asking what's up because our granddaughter was starting melt down, so hungry, tired at this point. Not EVEN an apology from the manager, she looked lost! She told us she would check. She never came back, didn't tell us what's up, we never received a bread basket or anything, server would go MIA, always having to wave down anyone to get another place setting, water, a drink! My plate was chicken Marsala and it was thee most tasteless kind I e ever had with about 5 mushrooms in it. So incredibly disappointed. They waaaay overbooked, under ordered food, and did not have proper staffing! I'd give it a negative stars review if I could! Never again!! read more

This is officially the worst restaurant experience i have ever had and it's not close. Mother's day. 7:30 reservation, seated at 9:00, told they were out of chicken. Waited another half hour. Told out of EVERYTHING. the table next to us had cold food. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW YOU HAVE THAT LEVEL OF AN ISSUE AND START TURNING PEOPLE AWAY?????? The level of incompetence is almost impossible to believe. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. Epic fail. Oh - there was also a huge fight and the cops showed up read more

I know we were there on Mother's Day. You expect a place to busy. However, we waited 20 just to get checked in. We had reservations. Then an additional 20 or so minutes to get a table. There were empty booths. Then we find out they were out of three appetizers we wanted. Ordered our food. Waited a half hour and the waitress comes back to tell me they sold out of the eggplant parm. Seriously? How unprepared is this place. We were there over 3 1/2 hours. Mostly waiting for the food. Funny though when it came time to pay the check, they were Johnny on the spot. Was first and last time there. read more

Went there today to have a small family bridal shower, they stuck us in the bar and the service was horrible. Waited forever plus we asked for ranch dressing (4of us) and each got what we thought was Italian,it definitely wasn't ranch. I don't think our waitress understood. One of the kids thought she was going to get Mac and Cheese that shows online but were told they don't have it. She didn't want anything else so I told her to give her ice cream to hold her over. The ice cream was not only a joke, a half a cup but we were charged $7.00 for plain vanilla that was probably 4 teaspoons. We have been there many times before but we will not be returning I don't think the bar area was a place to have a shower with kids either. read more

Goat & Vine is a good alternative to other wine/cocktail and dining entrees in the west/southwest suburbs. A recent trip included some creative and interesting moments. I'd received an e-mail with an alluring coupon, which was used on a good bottle of pinot noir. Entrees were good-my jambalaya was a stew variety of the dish, but the shrimp, andouille and chicken were just the right mix and flavors were ideal-medium plus spice and fresh vegetable roux. Shotr Rib entree was tasty as well-meat cooked perfectly and sauces were good. We ordered the Macamia Pie for dessert-keep in mind their desserts are huge-you can preview them in the under counter display in the main wine area. They delivered all desserts to tables with a lit sparkler, which was unexpected, but it definitely got every table interested in ordering! read more

First off met the General Manager who I felt was quite rude over a reservation problem. I could not understand since it was for a table of 6 at 4:00 and the place just opened. The place had only maybe 4 other parties there. He could have set the tone of the whole evening. But the rest of the evening went well the waitresses and staff were all courteous and professional in their jobs. The food from the kitchen was delicious and would go back again but hope to never see or experience a run in with that manager. It's too bad he could ruin peoples opinion of the whole establishment and then the whole staff could be affected. read more

What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we arrived, the warm, classy-yet-Bohemian atmosphere made us feel welcome and relaxed. The decor is chic with a hint of vintage charm -- perfect for a memorable ladies' night. The food was absolutely delicious with generous portions, and every dish was packed with flavor. Their wine list highlights some fantastic selections from California vineyards, and we loved being able to do tastings before committing to a glass. A huge thank you to our server Sabrina, who was attentive, friendly, and made our evening extra special by surprising us with a sparkler on our dessert for a belated Mother's Day celebration. Just when we thought it couldn't get better, Javier, the manager, went out of his way to offer to take group photos for us, suggesting the best lighting and backdrops at their beautiful entry. He even gifted us a little treat for being moms out celebrating -- such a thoughtful gesture! Highly recommend this gem for its incredible service, flavorful food, and welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for happy hour and more wine tastings! read more

Beware if you get their buy one get one to take pastas. They play this trick where you order lasagna to take but you'll never get it( check your bag before you leave) they only give you spaghetti ( least expensive entree) this has happened to us twice!
