I visited this brewery while in town visiting friends. It has a pretty typical indoor space with…read morehigh tops, a long bar, and tables. The brewery skews towards German style brewing which again, is pretty typical of a lot of breweries. The location really shines with its outdoor patio. There is a big outdoor area which is very family (and pet) friendly. They often have live music on the weekend. The brewery itself doesn't have any food, but they have rotating food trucks that come in. The day we were there it was a wood fired pizza truck which was pretty good. Everyone in our group had a good time, and I liked the overall vibe. I will note there were a lot of kids (between us our group of our adults had four kids) so keep this in mind if you go. Overall the beer was good, the atmosphere was perfect for the summer, and we enjoyed our time at this spot.

On the tap menu there is a heavy indulgence in german style brews which is a good thing, they have…read morestrong german brewing game here and it shows in the beer. That in conjunction with the property which is sprawling and offers plenty of outside space to enjoy as well. No food here, but they do host different food trucks and events (live music, yoga, festive holiday, etc). I've seen everything from big kids to mini me's to fury friends outside. If Long Grove is having a festival (when do they not ;) Feel free to take your beer in a plastic to go cup and bring with to the festival. Alas, you will not find Buffalo type beers at the festival. Interestingly enough, you will not find a Buffalo booth at the festivals, at least there was not one for Strawberry Fest; but it's a short walk across the parking lot to secure a good german pour and get your fest on.

The space was stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for cocktail hour with our loved ones. A very special thank you to Sharon, the hospitality manager, who has truly been my favorite person to work with since entering my bridal era. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. I can't thank her enough for helping bring my vision to life. The catering by Veridian was incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted just as amazing as it looked. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and the attentive staff. It was a perfect night from start to finish.. we're so grateful!

Big fan of Treehouse Cafe. It's surprisingly kind of small, but you get a ton of value out of the…read morespace, and my kids can easily play here for hours. They have a really good variety of snacks plus freshly made food that actually tastes great. And somehow, the coffee is extremely good too. I highly recommend the banana latte or the s'mores latte, and definitely try mixing and matching the cold foams. Another thing I really like is that they have two separate party areas, so even when birthday parties are going on, the whole place doesn't feel completely overloaded. They also have genuinely comfortable chairs for parents, which sounds like a small thing until you've spent hours at other kids' places sitting in chairs that make you miserable. Overall, I'm a pretty big fan. The kids stay entertained, the food and coffee are good, and the pricing feels very fair compared with some of the other places like this. Definitely worth checking out.

I do wish there was a half day price for littles under 3 because they for sure won't last the full day to enjoy the play. We lasted about an hour, it took little man about 20 minutes or so to get used to the play area, esp with all of the screaming big kids. The ceiling space really does carry the screams quite a bit so he got startled often but ended up still having a great time. The space was spacious and the staff was incredibly nice. We also ordered little man a meal after 3 and got a discount. We got a few drinks as well. We got him a grilled cheese and it came with veggie straws and a beverage. Since he couldn't drink juice yet, they offered milk which he did get to enjoy. Overall a great experience, and recommend to any parents looking to tire their kiddos out during break.

This venue is gorgeous and I'm so happy we chose it for our special day.

The wedding itself was beautiful, but unfortunately the reception left me with mixed feelings because of the service we experienced. The food was excellent, and I want to give credit to the kitchen because everything we tasted was delicious. Unfortunately, many guests never had the opportunity to fully enjoy it. Throughout the evening, I witnessed staff removing plates while guests were still eating or had only stepped away from the table for a few minutes. Many guests later shared that they left the reception hungry because their meals had been cleared before they were finished. It was disappointing to see such wonderful food go to waste simply because people were not given the chance to eat it. I also noticed that some staff members were abrupt and came across as unfriendly when guests asked questions or requested assistance. A wedding should feel warm and welcoming, and unfortunately that was not the impression many of us were left with. What saddened me the most was learning that after the wedding the family contacted the venue privately to discuss these concerns respectfully, hoping only for acknowledgment and accountability. Instead of taking responsibility, the response was largely defensive, and after a follow-up email there was no further communication from management. I sincerely hope future couples receive the level of care and professionalism that such an important day deserves.

Working with Jessica Trzop leading up to the event was easy and efficient; she had excellent customer service and ensured that everything we needed was accounted for. Upon arrival, I was surprised to not have known that someone else would be caring for us on the day of the event. I'm wondering if this shift caused things to be lost in communication, as we didn't have things such as the P.A. System and microphone set up, A-frame stands for our welcome sign, or a welcome table. We pivoted and worked through it. Our bartender was so grumpy and passive aggressive. But there was nothing to do about that in the moment either so we tried to kill her with kindness and shake it off. Overall, it ended up being a beautiful shower, the food was excellent, and we were able to persevere through the few hiccups we had.
