"My wife and I come here often for date night. Every time it is a wonderful experience. Short ribs out of this world melts in your mouth."

Christina Mora - 1/22/2024

My husband and I went for dinner on a Sunday and had the best experience. Our server was Antonio and he was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and fun to engage with. We enjoyed our meals, per Antonio’s recommendations. Drinks were excellent as well! We can’t wait to dine at Barrel & Vine again!!

Just Loveeee the atmosphere here. The vibe was so trendy and chill. The service was just amazing. Our server was very polite, attentive and friendly. We were given a special fish dish to try which was super nice on restaurant’s behalf. We started off with Tomato Bruschetta, Brussel sprouts and Potato Cheese Pierogi. For entrees we had Lamb with cauliflower rice and Fish. Food was super fresh and delicious. There is plenty of parking on the street as well as near the train station. HIGH RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!! MUST TRY!!!!! 5 star food, service and ambience.

I want to let you know that we had dinner at barrel and vine on Saturday. It was our first time to your restaurant. Our server was Melanie and she was fantastic. She was very helpful with our drinks and deciding on what to order. She is very pleasant and humorous, we had such a great time with her and she was johnny on the spot when we needed something. The food was great but she would be a big reason for us coming back. We will definitely be back and will make sure to ask for her section. She was outstanding.

Alison B. - 5/22/2023

"My husband and I just left after having a delicious dinner and drinks served by the friendliest guy, Cesar, who made sure we had what we needed, helped make cocktail recommendations, and surprised us with a bonus anniversary dessert. We live closer to Orland Park which is all chain restaurants, so it's nice to find a nearby option that has great food, drinks, service and ambiance. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the second song played after our arrival was the song we walked down the aisle to so bonus points for that!"

"Best meal I've had at a restaurant in years. I keep dreaming of going back. Got the pan seared duck with garlic mashed and sprouts. There was a great cherry demi glaze. Was fantastic! Waiter was on spot but not overly invasive. This was a phenomenal experience . Can't recommend highly enough"

Miranda Bzdyl - 5/17/2023

"What a great experience!! Our bartender was the best and he made the most incredible drink that was amazing in presentation and taste!!! 10/10 nice twist on an old fashion"

Carissa H. - 5/17/2023

"What a Great Place...I had a 14 person get together in the bar area and they accommodated us on a Super Busy Friday Night. Andrew made sure we were taken care of and Daniel was the Best Server ever. We all had a great experience at Barrel & Vine. Highly recommended and we will be back. The place is jam packed for a reason. The Food & Appetizers were ridiculously good. 5 Star Chef..."

Olivia Preston - 5/16/2023

"I came here for Mother’s Day. Usually buffets are very meh, but this is probably the best one I’ve had so far. Their menu looks absolutely amazing and I definitely want to go back and try it! Our server was also very very nice and very accommodating. I told her I had a tree nut allergy and she made sure that I was good to eat anything. She went to go check with the chef maybe two or three times and I just really appreciate it. Thank you @Tracy :). I also wanna say that the chocolate cake that I had was absolutely amazing but unfortunately you can’t buy it anywhere because the bakery is strictly made for just restaurants. Also the wine was amazing too! I am a wine and cheese pairing girl. I also love charcuterie boards and I’m just very happy to know that we have a place close to me so I can have my charcuterie board. Overall, my mom had a nice time. Thank you for a really nice Mother’s Day dinner."

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Barrel & Vine multiple times, and each visit has been an absolute delight. As a woman who appreciates great ambiance, exceptional service, and a wide variety of libations, this cozy gem has quickly become one of my favorite destinations. The moment you step inside Barrel & Vine, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The rustic yet modern decor creates a charming and relaxed setting, perfect for a casual hangout or a romantic evening. The dimmed lighting and carefully chosen music set the mood just right, making it an ideal spot to unwind and enjoy some quality time.

Whether you prefer a bold red wine or a crisp and refreshing IPA, their knowledgeable staff is always ready to help you find the perfect match for your taste. The bartenders and servers are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they do, adding to the overall positive experience. In addition to the exceptional drink offerings, Barrel & Vine also offers a menu of delectable small plates and appetizers. The food is thoughtfully prepared, using high-quality ingredients that elevate the dining experience. From artisanal cheese platters to mouthwatering bruschetta, every bite is a burst of flavor that perfectly complements the libations. The attention to detail at Barrel & Vine is evident in every aspect. The presentation of each drink and dish is impeccable, and the portions are generous. The establishment is always clean and well-maintained, making you feel comfortable and at ease during your visit. One aspect that particularly impressed me about Barrel & Vine is their commitment to hosting special events and wine tastings. They often organize fun and educational events that allow guests to explore new flavors and expand their knowledge. These events create a sense of community and provide an opportunity to meet fellow wine and beer enthusiasts. In conclusion, Barrel & Vine is a hidden gem offers an exceptional experience for wine and beer lovers alike. Whether you're looking for a relaxing evening with friends, a cozy date night, or a place to celebrate a special occasion, this charming establishment has it all.

"The food was amazing and the service perfect. We're already making plans to return."

Lisa Bujak - 5/14/2023

"Barrel and Vine is our favorite restaurant! The food is phenomenal, the cocktails are outstanding and the service is top notch! Come here once and you'll be hooked, guaranteed! I can't say enough about this place. Think long, think wrong - plan your next meal here. Every staff member is fantastic but if you're lucky enough to have Mel as your server, you're lucky enough! ??"

Vic Donev - 5/14/2023

"This is a must-visit place!!! My wife and i started with the grilled octopus not having high hopes because octopus is not easy to be cooked but the flavor combination was great. We also tried the calamari and if you think you’ve had calamari before your lying to yourself. As our entrees, my wife had the lamb chops and I had the chicken paprikash. We’ve never had better cooked lamb chops!!! Our server Cesar was very attentive, fun and great addition to our overall dining experience! We’re really thankful to Cesar and the whole barrel and vine crew for making us feel welcomed and feeding us with great food. We’ll definitely be back!"

Dave M. - 5/14/2023

"If you're not drinking cocktails at this place, you're missing out. The bartenders (Mike and team) are unbelievable. We had a plethora of cocktails and every single one was phenomenal. The food was great and the server (service in general) was fantastic. The entire restaurant didn't seem crowded and everyone was spaced appropriately. We had a party of 4 and waited at the bar for roughly an hour for our table. This turned out perfectly for us to try amazing cocktails made by Mike and his team. We ate at our table and then went back to the bar for more cocktails. The entire restaurant was awesome."

Happy Hands Preschool - 5/11/2023

"We held my daughter's bridal brunch in the back room and everything was wonderful! The space is attractive and private. The food and drinks were yummy. The staff was outstanding. Event coordinater, Andrew, was accomodating. Our servers, Marissa and Briana, were very friendly and attentive. It couldn't have been any better! I highly recommend the Barrel and Vine."

Debbie M. - 5/4/2023

"Food is really good. Interesting cocktails. Food and drinks are consistently good. Highly recommend."

"We just hosted a bridal shower here and it was so well done! Andrew and the staff went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect. They truly exceded our expectations! The room was gorgeous, the food was delicious and the staff was very attentive!"

Jessica B.Elite 2023 - 5/2/2023

"Have been here a few times. Came recently for dinner. Ate the stuffed pork chops....so good! Had dessert.... the sticky toffee pudding. Came out pretty hot but otherwise was delish. Great drink menu. Server was attentive. I like the atmosphere. Came on a weeknight and didn't need a reservation. Was able to find parking on street nearby."

Dani O. - 5/1/2023

"I am always in charge of finding the good restaurants because I am good at it and well because I am boujee bou when it comes to food aka it has to be some good ishhhh. Just sayinnn! Haha I found B&V on Yelp and then google. It sounded like my kind of place so I made rez for 4 @ B&V on Saturday evening. From the moment we walked in I knew we picked the right place for an amazing evening. It was POPPING up in there. We had about a 15 min wait but made our way to the bar to have a pre-dinner drink. I did not get the bartenders name (short blond hair...which was on point by the way!! Ok gurlll). I asked her to pick a red wine for me and she did GOOD! I see you. The hostesses were amazing and I walked back over with my wine to chat with them while we waited. Yes, I left my party to go chat with the lovely ladies. They were both dolls. I met one of the regulars when I ran to the ladies room and she could not rave enough about the food and the staff. Our waitress Angie was FIRE!!! She was on it and made some great recommendations, so much so I trusted her to pick a wine for me that would go with my meal. Let me tell you somethin...babyyy she did not miss a beat with our table. On to the main event...the FOOD. We started with the Brussel sprouts (droll worthy), grilled romaine salad and the burrata. Main courses were: 2 Churraso hanger steaks that came with curly fries (I subbed mine with the truffle fries...double drool), steak sandwich and then the halibut special. Everything we had was just so da*n delicious. Taste buds were definitely tantalized!! You know the amazing regular I ran into in the bathroom? Well she sent the owner Dorothy over to meet me. I was so busy raving about the restaurant as we were walking to actually go back to chat with the regular that I did not even know she was the owner until I said what is your name and thennn that is when I found out she was the owner. Dorothy is one amazing human being with the gift of service. I can see why her restaurant is so successful. She is humble, kind, generous and attentive. She also checked on us to ensure all was well. Just fyi I do know the regulars name but that's my business, mmmkkk...hahaha. Bob the GM is awesome, he made sure we were taken care of too. Now if I could just get B&V to open in PHX, they would kill it!!! (hint hint) We actually shut the place downnnn...aka we were the last customers up in there! No regrets at all just great food, amazing company, awesome people and great conversations were had. Phew that was a long one but I said what I said!! YASSS!!! I will definitely be visiting when I am back in town. P.S. I want to sit at the same table too!! Wink wink."

Ariel Lee - 4/29/2023

"Never had a bad steak here and have been some pretty expensive places with terrible results. Prices are super reasonable for great food, but their staff is even more amazing. Request Caesar, he is super on top of things and genuinely cares about the people who come in. Hard to find nowadays. 10/10, will always come back!"

Kim M. - 4/29/2023

"Barrel and Vine is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who appreciates a great atmosphere, exceptional service, and delicious food and drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect for a romantic evening or a night out with friends. The lighting is a little dark, but it adds to the overall cozy and intimate atmosphere. The food at Barrel and Vine is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're in the mood for something hearty and filling or something light and refreshing, the menu has something for everyone. And if you're not sure what to order, the staff is more than happy to recommend their favorites. But the true star of the show at Barrel and Vine is the drinks. They have an impressive selection of wines, beers, and cocktails, and each one is expertly crafted by the talented bartenders. I've been to the restaurant a couple of times, and each time the drinks have been exceptional. But what really sets Barrel and Vine apart from other restaurants is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Barrel and Vine to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, the food is amazing, and the drinks are exceptional. And with exceptional service to top it all off, you can't go wrong with a visit to this wonderful restaurant."

Miguel L. - 4/28/2023

"Amazing food selections all crafted sea food lovers get here and if you don't like sea food they have so many crafted plates from Italian to really good steaks. Even the sandwiches look good hard to pick."

MyNeonate - 4/26/2023

"We met our good friends, Mary Jo & Mike, last night at one of the best restaurants we have experienced EVER (and we eat out a lot)! From the welcoming greeting of the hosts, the expertly made cocktails by Grant the Bartender, the genuineness of Bob the Manager as he checked on us, and BEST of all the Server: Seth, who entertained us with his playful banter and wonderful sense of humor, we couldn't have had a better experience. We did not find out who the chef was, but our meal was outstanding! Whatever you are doing Barrel & Vine, please keep doing it! Bob says it's hiring the right people, and I totally agree that it sure seems like you have the right people who want to be there and enjoy what they are doing. Please let them know how grateful we are to have found such a gem and we appreciate every one of them! I'm even considering joining your Wine Club! I wish you weren't so far away, but you're so worth the 30 minute drive. We will be back!?? #barrelvinelemont"

"My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner at Barrel & Vine and we are so happy that we did. The staff was so kind and helpful and wanted to ensure that we had the best night. Andrew was easy to get in touch with and very helpful during the planning process. The room was perfect for the event and the food and drinks were amazing. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful they thought Barrel & Vine was. I would highly recommend hosting any event at Barrel & Vine."

"Came here upon recommendation from a local on a Tuesday afternoon right around lunchtime. Place was gorgeous inside and busy - a great sign! My dad, aunt and I ordered the burger and Cuban sandwich with truffle and regular fries and split them amongst us. We also ordered a bottle of Riesling and an IPA on draft(the name escapes me, but they had a wide selection of local drafts available). Service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious - we will for sure be back if we find ourselves back in the area"

Cristina Lazard - 4/3/2023

"What do you do when the little ones are with grandma? You try a new restaurant! Barrel & Vine has been on my “check it out” list for about a year now, and today’s experience did not disappoint. Dave delivered top tier service. Ask to be seated in his section. After seeing the margarita of the week on their IG page, I knew I wanted to try it out. Blackberry and peach sounds like a great springtime cocktail. Unfortunately, I was a day late and the new offering this week is watermelon and mint. While tasty, I really had my mouth prepared for the blackberry and peach. Tip: avoid the salted rim. Once a little gets in your drink, it takes over. The French Onion soup was amazing. I honestly could have had two bowls of that and been satisfied, but I wanted to try other things on the menu. So many options! There were a number of crafted cocktails that stood out, but instead of choosing my second round, I left it up to Dave. The blueberry infused mule…bravo! B R A V O Leaning into Dave for another food recommendation, the salad I had been eyeing was the first thing he mentioned—Poppies and Quinoa. This salad consists of baby spinach, romaine, strawberries, blueberries, glazed pecans, quinoa, and a poppyseed dressing. Yum! Delicious! If you’re not allergic to berries or can handle quinoa, this was light, filling and tasty. Another hit was the chimichurri fries. O M Good! My friend had the ribeye steak sandwich and it too was quite tasty. Would I come back? Heck yea!"

Deborah F. - 4/11/2023

"Absolutely wonderful food and outstanding service. Occasion: we took our grandmother here for lunch near her assisted living place. Without our asking, the restaurant turned the music down a bit, which made it much easier for her to hear. Food: perogis are a must have. Owner's mother makes them. Possibly the best we've ever had, and they elicited grandma's fond memories of her Polish grandmother's food. Crab cakes, Cuban pork sandwich and chicken paprikash with gnocchi. All extremely delicious. Chocolate cake with a candle for birthday dessert - molten, warm, moist, light, and rich. Fantastic service that was just right with a friendly touch. 100% recommend."

Peter Naoom - 12/4/2022

"This place is real gem and consistently delivers quality food and drinks. Speaking of drinks, go see Cesar at the bar! He is one of the THE BEST bartender’s in the burbs and always makes you feel welcomed."

Kathy P. - 4/5/2023

"I reserved the back room for my daughters baby shower. I couldn't have been more pleased with the food and drink choices. The room had a nice atmosphere and plenty of room. MarIssa was very attentive and the staff was magnificent. The guest were very impressed with the food and drinks. Definitely will use them for future events. Kathy P"

Laura F - 12/3/2022

"B&V is always a great choice for food and atmosphere! Everything on the menu is delicious. Cesar was so attentive and kind!"

Ed Brill - 12/2/2022

"Brought a group of 17 for a business dinner and we were well looked-after. Didn't even notice that there was a back room, which we ended up having to ourselves. We very much appreciated the ability to order off the regular menu despite the large size of the group. Everyone was happy with dinner, steaks especially were really well-prepared and the various kinds of fries/potatoes were great. Drinks were enjoyed and delivered promptly. The back room was very quiet even though the main restaurant area was completely full when we arrived!"

Patty F. - 11/27/2022

"First time I went to Barrel and Vine for dinner with my Wife and we loved not only the food and drinks but also the service . From the moment we walked in everyone was nice . But the best part was the Bartender/ server . Believe his name was Cesar Lopez . Not only did he was nice but served us some amazing drinks . He always made sure we enjoyed the different drink he made us but also made sure we were taken cared . He was friendly and and had great costumer service. We found a new place that has great food and drinks and that makes us feel very comfortable ."

"Ate at Barrel n Vine last night. Waiter was Jave! He was very pleasant shared his knowledge of the chef's passion of wonderful meals and the menu.. we decided on the Braised beef ribs over mashed.. one of us paired with Revolution Octoberfest, one had a Malbec. We had the BEST meal served in a restaurant in maybe 7 years. I too have passion for cooking, Im seldom suprised. This menu item was fantastic! Thank you chef!"

Rick S. - 9/13/2022

"Barrel & Vine has been a FANTASTIC addition to our Lemont dining scene. Dorthy & Larry are great hosts and doing a terrific job bringing some new dishes to town. I haven't had a meal that wasn't way above average at B & V. Nice custom drinks, too go along nicely with the wine selection. The staff has always been attentive. I'm sure you enjoy it as much as I have!"

Jeanette - 9/4/2021
"My fiancé and I went here last night for the first time and we had the absolute best server. Her name is Kayla and she came around and checked on us just frequently enough to not be intrusive, she was so friendly, and always made sure we had what we needed. I let her know how great she did, and looked around for the manager to tell them but did not see anyone nearby on the way out, otherwise her manager would have been told verbally too. On top of the great service the food and drinks were great as well, I will definitely be returning to Barrel and Vine."

Diane Turnbull - 9/2/2021
"My husband and I have been here 3 times now with friends and have made quite a dent in trying as many different dishes as possible. There has yet to be one that wasn't liked and enjoyed ! The food is delicious and you can tell that fresh ingredients are used. The drinks are pretty darn good as well. My husbands Old Fashion was top notch. We will continue to bring friends and spread the word of the great atmosphere, wait staff and above all FOOD !"

Robert C - 9/2/2021
"Newer place, somewhat upscale, diverse menu (for the burbs). I believe they have a REAL chef(s) as opposed to so many suburban restaurants which just have ”cooks”. It shows in the food quality which is very good. Soups were very nice as were main courses. I especially liked the cheese and meat beard. Service was good as well as friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean and appears to be newly renovated. Our only criticism is for a venue with wine specialty, they do not have a very large selection. Perhaps that will be remedied in time. Prices are fair for the level of quality. Definitely will return."

Mike Gorski - 8/30/2021
"Was there for a birthday party and had about 20 or so in our group. The servers were excellent, on their game, and ensured we were taken care of. The food was quite good and enjoyed by everyone. Would recommend this place to anyone and I look forward to visit again."

Nicole Kowalczyk - 8/29/2021
"The brunch menu is limited but we got the Cuban and steak sandwich. Both were delicious. The truffle fries are amazing."

"Everything was great. The decor is beautiful. The food is fresh and delicious. The service was efficient and friendly. Kid friendly. The perfect restaurant for the suburbs, I have been waiting for a Wicker-Park-feel without the two hour drive to the city."

"Phenomenal experience at Barrel & Vine. Party of 6 and Grant was our awesome and attentive server. He was working so hard he was breaking a sweat. Drinks were great. Food was exceptional! Braised short ribs and the short rib bolognese were definitely more than worthy to write home about. Don't get me started on the skillet salted caramel cookie dessert a la mode. I was in heaven. Against my better judgement of keeping this place a secret for selfish reasons, HIGHLY recommended to enjoy for a casual night, for a more formal evening with the in laws, or even a group of 8-10! They are accommodating for all and many! Excited for this new spot in Lemont!"

"I'm so excited to have this restaurant close to home! The menu is unique to any other restaurant in the area and I love that it's not focused on one type of cuisine. Every dish I've tried has been delicious and the service is great! The ingredients are fresh and taste homemade. The fried pierogi appetizer topped with sauteed onions and bacon to the cream of asparagus or french onion soup, the burrata or quinoa salad, the next day I'm craving the dishes again!"

"OMG, we live about 40 mins away and wanted to try something new. The service and atmosphere was amazing but the food is off the charts. We started with the bruschetta and was not disappointed. We paired our stuffed pork chop and short rib bolognese with Brussel Sprouts and a bottle of Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc… the food is amazing!!! You have to check this place out!!"

"Loved this place! The vibes here are immaculate. The staff were friendly and attentive. The owner, Dorothy, is the sweetest and so lovely! It’s the perfect place to grab delicious, thoughtfully crafted food and great drinks with friends, or just chill at the bar. Already tried multiple things off the menu and got a different cocktail each time. All of them wonderful. Gotta try the truffle fries, they’re the best lol"

"From start to finish you will be delighted! The food so delicious, 5-star quality and 5-star service. This couple Larry and Dorothy never stopped running and welcomed every single guest and chatted at every table making sure things were just right! You feel at home when you walk in the door?? We started with the barratta as an appetizer so good! My main course the Fresh fish special:Halibut was so flavorful and steaming hot over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and grilled Brussels sprouts! Rick had the Chimichurri steak it was so tender melted in your mouth and garlic Mashed potatoes. Every thing was great we will be back! Congratulations what a lucky Town Lemont is to have such a trendy fine dining restaurant!"
