One of THE most amazing dinners I've ever had! Our daughter had been here & really wanted us to go on a recent visit. Got our reservation, studied the menu. You have to order with the hostess at the door, unusual, but don't panic--it works well. And you can always add dishes or drinks from your table. We ordered a number of dishes to share, one better than the next. It was a great experience. We'd love to go back. read more

TLDR Vibe: let's cosplay rich in Lincoln park but also try some good quality food while we do it. With the recent James beard awards I wanted to start making my way down chicago's Michelin list. John's is Michelin recommended so I said- sign me up. All I knew going in was the accolade and that the chef preferred to do hyper local- which im all about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are perfect IMO. Cozy, clean, organic shapes with that bar (see the featured photos). It also has a relaxed enough vibe that despite the prestige it is truly a more formal/casual vibe- being there on a sunday I saw a handful of small groups come in no res just looking for wine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food itself was pretty good. I thought the pork collar was cooked well and they did what I was hoping a hyper local produce focused place would which is not over cook the vegetables and let them shine. One note: assume way more complexity than the menu displays. The pork itself for example is listed as just the pork veggies and with its sauce so my expectations were hesitant - but what made the dish great was the tang that comes from the seasoning/marinade. What really stood out to me though was the staff- it could be that I was there in a dead hour but everyone put me at ease as a single server at a table (v bar) and my server even gave me a taste of their amazing bandaged cheddar - which as a huge foodie really made my experience great. Because theres no way im easily grabbing that cheese. SO as well to their wine director Felix especially. He and I connected over the ceramics they feature (Monsoon Pottery- check her out) and when I spilled some sauce on my white shirt he was quick to get me some soda water and I heard him asking around for some shout. So- formal/casual place but I felt treasured. Which tbh is really what makes good restaurants different to me when youre hitting this price point in chicago. Plenty of POS fine trendy places down town. read more

Stopped in for some drinks on a hot day. The host barely greeted us and we asked if we could sit at the bar. We ordered a couple of drinks from the lady behind the bar who seemed irritated by us being there. We were told there was a limited menu until happy hour that started in 90 minutes. We decided to try the drinks before deciding what was next. Both drinks were beautiful but not delish. They had too much going on and were not balanced. We asked for the check after 20 minutes of nothing from the bar tender and decided to Head out to somewhere else for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful place and then menu looked tasty by the service and drinks were a hard no for us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot for a perfect GNO! the space is adorable, and on the smaller side![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order before you sit down which is Interesting but you can add on anything after you are seated too. I got a dirty martini to drink, this was fine. There were 3 of us for dinner and I felt like we had a perfect amount of food. We got the beef fat fries, lobster salad, scallops and the spaghetti! The beef fat fries are amazing, these are a must get. I'm usually not a thick fry person but the flavor in these was incredible! A heads up the lobster salad does not have lettuce, it is pieces of lobster, but it was so flavorful with all the herbs! The scallops were great, cooked to perfection! Our spaghetti was cold, but it was good! I would recommend the other items over the spaghetti! We added on a white wine and it was amazing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute spot overall![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

John's Food & Wine has only been open two years, but it already feels like a local favorite with a personality all its own. The name John's is a tribute to the fathers of both chefs--a nice touch that sets the tone for a place rooted in personal connection and hospitality. What's most unusual here--especially for an upscale restaurant--is that you place your order before being seated. I've never seen that at this level of dining, but surprisingly, it works. The menu is tight and well-curated, so decision-making is quick, and once you're seated the service flows just like any polished restaurant. Servers still deliver dishes, answer questions, refresh drinks, and guide you through the meal. What We Ordered: Starters * Half Dozen Oysters - Fresh, clean, briny--exactly what you hope for. * Beef Fat Fries - Oh wow. Absolutely addictive. Golden, crispy, and rich in the best possible way. A must-order. * Hamachi - Light, bright, beautifully balanced. A refreshing contrast to the heavier starters. * Sweet Potato - Layers of flavor--roasted sweetness, savory toppings. Surprisingly memorable. Entrées * Thick-Cut Prime Rib - As a prime rib enthusiast, I'd call it good but not mind-blowing. Cooked correctly, but lacking the depth of flavor I expect at $80. I even asked for raw horseradish to give it more punch. * Half Chicken - The sleeper hit of the night. Juicy, deeply seasoned, and honestly better than many chicken dishes at top-tier spots. Dessert * Carrot Cake Sundae - Not your typical slice of carrot cake. This was a fully deconstructed sundae with crème fraîche peach ice cream, miso salted caramel, and white chocolate crumble. Sweet, tangy, salty, and creamy--it hit every note. Easily one of the most imaginative desserts I've had in a while, and a perfect way to finish the meal. The Space & Service [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is narrow, almost split in three parts: the entrance with bar-side seating, then a small dining section adjacent, and finally a back dining room where we sat. For our first hour, we had that back room to ourselves--an unexpected private-feeling experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was warm, personable, and spot-on. Our server clearly loved the menu and added to the enjoyment. Like many Chicago spots, John's includes a 20% built-in service charge--worth noting, though service quality matched the ethos of a traditional tip. John's isn't trying to be flashy--it's thoughtful, ingredient-driven dining with a personal story behind it. If you go, don't miss the fries, the hamachi, and that chicken. And if you're a prime rib purist like me, just know you've been warned. read more

Ordered: Waygu skewers, Flake Crudo, and Beef fat fries accompanied by two glasses of red wine. Sat at the bar on a Saturday night at 8:45 PM. The restaurant was packed to the brim and the dinning room was lively with patrons conversing and enjoying their meals. The staff was very well composed and obviously well prepared for a packed house. The bar staff was very nice and helped me pick out a wine that fit my preferences and was appropriate for my meal. The food was INCREDIBLE. Every dish I had was extraordinary and there were numerous moments where the patrons dining around me were audibly shocked how good the food was. The hybrid service model is a bit unusual, but not unnavigable by any means and I believe it allows the restaurant to be much more efficient. What was astonishing to me is how impactful the food was. The patrons around me were ordering drinks, appetizers, entrees, then desserts with such joy and anticipation for the next course. The atmosphere was extremely cozy and inviting and this was evident by the 5+ tables I witnessed conversing 30-45 minutes after their meal had concluded. John's Food and Wine is a quintessential American spot that provides a luxury dining experience that is completely approachable to casual diners and seasoned gastronomes alike. I am looking forward to my next dining experience here. read more

The tasting menu is a must. It is priced well for the food that you get. Lobster salad and the dessert were excellent. The service was great- perfect balance of being attentive but not annoying. I love everything about this spot. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What an amazing place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Call me impatient but I love the concept of ordering first and then being seated. The host was exceptional, very attentive and answered all our questions. We were seated promptly and waited no time for our courses. We started with the mix green salad which was unique but a little acidic. We next had the rye bread which was warm and delightful. The gnocchi stole the show as it had a perfect buttery and creamy sauce and allowed us to split between lobster and no lobster. Finally the wagu steak was tender and melt-in-your-mouth. Loved the mushrooms as well! A definite MUST try restaurant. read more

Went in for happy hour on a Sunday. Thought we needed to order at the front, but we sat at the bar and ordered there. Everyone was very nice and attentive. We loved the "happy meal" offering of a burger and a martini, but didn't want to drink, so we switched out the martini for a diet coke. The diet coke came in a bottle, which I loved and feel like I don't see a lot. The star of the show was obviously the burger and I loved this one! The homemade pickles were fabulous, as was the cheese and onions included. Would definitely go back for that burger! I'm sad we didn't order the beef fat fries, which I've heard great things about, but that only means I'll have to do back! Tip is included, which we didn't realize. We paid and sat at the bar waiting for the receipt to ensure we tipped. We did have to ask the bartender, but definitely a nice addition (and one to be aware of). read more

We did the tasting menu and overall it was great. The quality was comparable to other tasting menus in the same range (Galit, Monteverde, Parachute (RIP)). The only knock on the one we had was chicken breast was the main protein, which while it was prepared about perfectly, it's also just chicken breast. Luckily the morels and sauce were an outstanding compliment. The scallop and lobster were outstanding, with the serrano in the aioli pairing very well with the lobster. The wine selection was also excellent and fantastic. 100% would go again and try out the non-tasting menu. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the atmosphere at the bar here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best tuna crudo I've ever had, great duck gemelli pasta with duck flown in from NY that day, and a very rich sea bass with truffle. Nice service at the bar. If you are walking in, get there 5-10 min before doors open otherwise make a reservation. read more

Outstanding! From the minute we arrived until the minute we left, the entire dining and culinary experience was just that one word...outstanding! When you arrive, you place your order with the host for your entire meal. The host did a great job walking us through the menu and guiding the experience with recommendations for number of courses. They also advised the kitchen will course the entire order and nothing else will be needed when you are seated. We ordered two small plates, two mid plates, one main and one dessert for two people. We had the tomato salad and lobster salad for small plates. They were beautiful combinations of flavors and textures. Bright and full of summer flavors. For mid plates, we had the beef fat fries and holy cow were they amazing. Hot and crunchy outside and light fluffy inside. Tremendously prepared! We also had the Radiatore which we eat so quickly I missed taking a picture. This one I could have licked the plate the sauce was so delicious. We ended with skirt steak which was perfectly prepared and amazing flavors. We finished with the blueberry sorbet which was very light and quite a lovely way to complete the meal. Highly recommend and will be back there for sure! read more

This restaurant made my husband's 40th birthday truly unforgettable. I flew in his best friend as a surprise, and from the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to keep the secret and pamper us along the way. Every interaction felt thoughtful and intentional. When his friend finally arrived, the staff was just as excited as we were--they made my husband feel incredibly celebrated, which meant the world to me. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare. And the food... absolutely incredible. Every dish hit: the oysters were fresh and briny, the clam pasta was rich and comforting, and the duck breast was cooked to perfection. Not a single miss. The cocktails were delicious and well-balanced, and Wine Director Owen truly spoiled us with thoughtful pairings and top-tier service. From start to finish, this was a 10/10 experience. If you're celebrating something special--or just want an amazing meal with exceptional service--this is the place. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Wow is the food awesome here! Stopped in early on a Friday and picked our menu items and sat down right away. Everything here is seasonal and really fresh. We had some of the best cabbage I've ever had here! Service is also great, our server was so kind and made it a fun experience. Wine was also solid, good choices and you could do anything from a glass to a bottle!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kinda small and with the high ceilings it's quite loud inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you check in you order everything for your dinner. I feel like the food was brought out quicker than we would have liked. The service was good and everyone was very friendly. For the appetizers we shared the Asparagus and bread which very good. The fried octopus was just okay. I got the short rib pasta for my main dish and it was good but very rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the salmon and no complaints. Our friends shared the steak and said it was really delicious. We also shared both desserts the butterscotch was creamy and not too sweet. The pistachio was my favorite! It had a nice crunch. The cocktails were just okay I feel like this is more of a wine place. read more

We've had John's Food & Wine on our radar for some time now so we came in on a Friday evening and put our name down. It was about an hour or so wait so we stopped by an izakaya spot near by for a drink and appie. Then the restaurant texted us letting us know our table was ready. We got the Milk Bread, Roasted Beet Salad, Beef Fat Fries, Grilled Pork Collar, and the Salted Crème Fraiche Ice Cream to end off our meal. We also had their sommelier pair natural/bio-dynamic wines for us which were phenomenal! Overall, the food was delicious and wine pairings were chosen thoughtfully. The ambiance was very cozy and the restaurant had a nice buzz. The service great as well and the host/servers were welcoming. We would stop by again the next time we're in Chicago. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A small but intimate restaurant - really interesting concept where it's a nicer restaurant but you order first up front with the hostess before being taken to your table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the lobster salad, beef tartare, milk bread, branzino and a cosmo and white wine. The ordering system turned out to be pretty efficient as our drinks were brought out right away, and the flavors of all the dishes were on point! Would maybe skip the milk break. Also note that the restaurant is walk in only so would recommend going on the earlier side. Price point is on the higher side, but I think overall worth it for the quality of dishes. Food: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 read more

Despite having open time slots every 15 minutes tonight, they charged us for a cancelled reservation even though we called at 11am this morning!!! No grace policy for being sick, these guys must be doing HORRIBLY if the $50 was worth turning away customers who tried to be respectful of their inflexible policy. It's a Wednesday night with full availability - not as if they turned people away to keep a table for us. Not a good way to win customers over. read more

This was hands down the best dining experience I have had in ages. Walked in on a Sunday around 3:30 initially planning to just have a glass of wine before date night. We ended up getting some of the best oysters I've had in the city, then decided to roll into dinner. The dirty martini was phenomenal, the wine outstanding. BUT THE FOOD. My god, every bite better than the last. We ended up making friends with the table next to us, so we drank, ate and talked for a few hours before finally wrapping up. Everyone was so accommodating and kind. 10/10 will be back again and again. read more

My wife and I just had a great dinner. It is unusual, even at the finest restaurants, for every dish to be uniformly excellent, but that was our experience. We sat at their very buzzy bar where we had excellent service from Renee and the rest of the staff, ([[HIGHLIGHT]]we were probably the oldest people there, but we found the atmosphere to be very stimulating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]). We enjoyed the spring salad, the french fries (they lived up to the hype), the asparagus, the wagyu skewers and the pork--all great. We also had a chance to congratulate the manager, Blaine, on his excellent, fun restaurant. One minor complaint, and one that I make with a lot of places--I found the wine prices to be a bit high but the selections were very good. We will definitely be back, assuming we can get in. read more

I had heard such amazing things about John's from social media and colleagues, but I must admit that I was a bit underwhelmed by my experience. The dining structure at John's has you order your entire meal prior to being seated. Luckily, I was with a friend who had been before and helped us place our order for our group with the host. The host was very helpful with recommendations, however, he was not confident about which foods were gluten free and had to check with the kitchen several times. Once seated, the sommelier was very friendly and helped us pick out a bottle of wine for the table. He was very knowledgeable!! The food overall was good, but has left me wanting more. The market salad and ricotta gnocchi were my favorite dishes, which I highly recommend ordering. The pork shoulder had great flavor, but it was a bit undercooked, and the lemon parfait was shockingly too salty - and I usually love some salt on my dessert. Overall, I'm between a 3 and 4 star rating. I'd love to give this place another shot, as maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen. I just didn't think it lived up to Chicago restaurant caliber. read more

Came here on a whim after missing a reservation and they are walk-in only, which was great. We ordered the milk bread, ravioli, beef fat fries and duck breast. I really enjoyed the dishes but the service was really slow, especially when trying to get the duck breast and the servers also never refilled our water. They ended up charging a 20% gratuity automatically which should warrant better service than what was provided. read more

I've been meaning to come here ever since it opened and I'm so happy I finally had the chance! The vibes were immaculate. It's such a perfect date night or girl's night out dinner spot. The set up is a little different because you expect it to be like a normal restaurant service set up, but you have to place your entire order at the front and then you get seated. Not sure if I hate or love it but it definitely didn't affect how I felt about the experience overall. The food was amazing!! We got the green bean salad, beef salad, lobster salad, beef tartare, bass, and the sesame ice cream. There wasn't one thing we wouldn't get again. The portions were great for 2 people to try a substantial portion of each dish. It might be a little bit on the smaller side if you have a bigger party. Overall I can't wait to come back!! Might be one of my favorite new spots I've tried this year! read more

I feel very on the fence about this place-- if you read the menu it's all stuff that sounds very generic American food which is fine, but they actually use very bold interesting flavors. But that makes it very hit or miss for me, for example the beef tartare was very horse radish forward which I didn't love, but I did really enjoy the acidity of the yuzu in the tomato salad but I could see someone else not enjoying it. the style of ordering is interesting, you order when you first get there and then it's pre paid so you can walk out whenever. we did have a buckwheat ice cream dessert that I loveddd. definitely on the pricier side, my boyfriend thought it was mid. read more

I had heard really good things about this place and had on my list to try. I was surprised that they didn't take reservations. It makes sense once I learned that they have you order when you get there. It was a little hard to know how much food to get since it was pricey but sharing portions. I was disappointed that they were out of one of the white wines but loved the bubbly wine I got instead. The food was incredible. The gnocchi and cavatelli were so creamy and delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked. It was familiar dishes with different ingredients. The desserts were quite interesting. We tried both and I can't say I'd get it again but was interesting to try. The space is perfect for a small group and intimate. read more

This place is strange but I love it. You walk in and stand in line to order all your food up front. From there you are taken to your table and you can't order additional food (you can order wine though). They bring you the food out as it's prepared so highly recommend sharing vs individual meals. Food was incredible and pasta was cooked to perfection. We pretty much ordered the whole menu and would recommend it all! read more

Yes, the service model of ordering everything when you walk in the door before taking your coat off and being seated is awkward and annoying. You need to think through your entire meal and order while standing at the host stand. Yes, the prices are crazy high for the service model and ambiance. We spent $250 for two people. 4 apps, 1 entree, and 2 drinks. $48 for a half-chicken? Yes, the dishes are very good and interesting with small portions (other than the 1/2 chicken). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yes, the ambience is a refreshed Nookies and quite loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yes, the staff were friendly and attentive.

My wife and I have walked places this restaurant a handful of times when in the area and decided to stop in to split something for lunch. The food was unbelievably good! Beef fat fries - 5/5 - super crispy thick cut fries with a great complementary aioli Fish sandwich 10/5 - two pieces of crispy fish, kimchi ketchup and a caper slaw. This sandwich was seriously unreeeeeeeal... everything went together so well and it was not super sloppy. Our service was great and the restaurant was probably 50% full. Hidden gem this is one of those places you don't want to review because you want it to be your spot and not get overcrowded but the people need to know! We'll be back! read more

I have mixed feelings about John's Food and Wine. The ordering system is very flawed and does not make sense for a restaurant of this caliber. You walk in and order at a register at the bar. The person entering my order was short with me when I asked if my friends and I could each order separately. He said it was a family style restaurant and they usually put the entire order in at once. My friends all wanted different dishes as our own entree and didn't want to split everything though. The entry way is way too small and not conducive to forming a line. Also this system leads people to feel rushed when ordering and lacks transparency in the payment of your meal. The dishes are quite expensive for the portion sizes ($13 for a small bowl of fries, $26 for a pasta dish). I wish they put the prices on their online menu. Now to the food-- the octopus was a delicious, well balanced dish. Wasn't blown away by the fries (they were decent, nothing to write home about), the focaccia or the butterscotch pudding were just fine too. If you want good butterscotch pudding, try Monteverde's. I'm glad I tried this spot but I don't see myself returning. read more

Second time dining at John's Food and Wine and it did not disappoint. We had a group of 4 people so were able to get a lot of different food items (two different Crudos, pasta, sea bass, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes dish) as well as 2 bottles of wine (Chenin Blanc and a Zinfandel). The food is great and the wine is even better with sommelier recommendations. Only critiques would be it's a bit of a goofy ordering process with no true server for your table and that the portion sizes are on the smaller size, but neither would prevent me from going back. Great spot and would recommend. read more

Honestly, such an amazing hidden gem in the heart of Lincoln park! First things first - service is DIFFERENT here. It's not a traditional you sit and have a waiter - you go to the cashier station and order your food and sit. They have people watching the tables to make sure you're taken care of - but you don't have a dedicated one! They also check you out from the start and gratuity is already included! Now, the wine selection here is amazing, and so was the food! I had the house white wine which was amazing. I tried two different items: - beef fat fries - oh my gosh this was amazing! Carlos (who was amazing!) said I would love it, and I did! - roasted kale salad - I wanted something a bit lighter since the fries were a bit heavy and I'm so glad I got this! Honestly was amazing The ambiance, food and people truly made this place so special and I can't wait to go back! read more

We were excited to return here for my birthdya after a great first experience last year, and sadly the service has gone downhill. The food was great and the menu is interesting. But after ordering before being seated (as they require), we received 6/8 of our plates within 20min of being seated, and then waited over an hour for the last 2 (and the last 1 never came). The service wasn't attentive and we had to inquire multiple times, which stung a little bit more since it was my birthday and we hoped to have a special experience. I share this feedback in hopes they can fix their operations to restore what was a great restaurant. read more

Do not go to a place that adds a 20% service charge to to your final bill; when asking server about it she said "it's a service charge but not really tip, feel free to tip on top of that". Absurd! Do not go to a place where you are forced to order upfront, no menu, no time to reflect. Sat in the back room, took 15 min to get drink order.
