This was my first time visiting Lynfred, and the outside immediately caught my eye. The setting is…read morereally charming as you drive in alongside the venue. We went on a Saturday and had a great time. We did a tasting and gravitated toward the sweeter wines, which were enjoyable. We ended up purchasing their year-round Oktoberfest wine. If you prefer sweeter wines, this is a good spot for you. One thing to note is that they stop serving earlier than the posted closing time. At first, our server told us we only had 30 minutes for the tasting, so we felt a bit rushed. My husband asked again, and another staff member clarified that we actually had more time, which was a relief and allowed us to slow down and enjoy it. They provide breadsticks, and there are snacks available for purchase. I'm really looking forward to going back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor patio, which looks huge. The inside, however, felt smaller than expected. There are essentially two main rooms, plus a standing bar, a seated bar, a hallway with seating, and an exclusive members-only area.

This was in addition to the bar seating. You could do tastings of the monthly wine which was nice because you control how much to taste in 1, 3 and 5 Ozs. You couls also order a glass. I could definitely see us coming here on Fridays to grab a drink and relax. Looking forward to also trying some of there small bites.

However, I was disappointed with the way the day went. With 8 hours of access we planned for an hour of clean up at the end with all guests out. The owner had my guests cleaning up the venue starting at 7:30 even though we didn't need to be out until 10:30. I understand asking guests to clean plates but my photos from the end of the night didn't have any of the decor because it was put away before my wedding was over. Truthfully it made me feel rushed to end my wedding which was very disappointing. The bartending service we hired also complained about being rushed and having their services disrupted by the owner. Again, a gorgeous venue but maybe not the place if you want a traditional wedding reception.

Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

The space is modern and comfortable--it truly feels like you're throwing a party in your own living room, without actually having to do any of the work. We had live music throughout the night, which created a fun and lively atmosphere from start to finish. John and his staff were exceptional hosts, serving up multiple courses of some of my all-time favorite dishes--Detroit-style pizza, crab cakes, key lime pie, just to name a few. From the drinks (with a sommelier and an impressive bourbon selection), to the music, to their attentiveness to each guest, every detail was thoughtfully executed. If you're looking for a personalized, intimate celebration or event, I can't recommend this place highly enough.
