Best Wine Bars in Des Plaines

We were impressed by how simple it was to adjust our reservation and get seated almost immediately upon arrival. The menu offered a great variety with calorie-conscious choices, and our waitress was attentive and efficient. The desserts were perfectly portioned with great options, making the evening extra special for the two birthday boys. It was a wonderful dining experience overall, though we would have appreciated a few more vegetarian options for my husband.

I just wanted to share a delightful experience I had this past weekend at one of my favorite spots - Cooper's Hawk in Arlington Heights. It was my first time going there for brunch, and I must say, it was fantastic as always! From the impeccable service to the delicious food, they never disappoint. If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend giving their brunch a try.

My friends and I had a delightful wine tasting. Pam always greets us with a smile and is attentive to our needs. Our server, Bobby, was prompt and was knowledgeable of the menu. He checked in on us as necessary and was cheerful during our entire meal. As always, the general manager, Eric, was able to answer all our questions regarding an event we wanted to plan. He is always a pleasant to speak with whenever I am at this location. Pam and Eric make the Wheeling location my primary Coopers Hawk location to dine at. Can’t wait for my next meal!

We had an awesome dinner! Staff that helped us with wine tasting was amazing. Our serving Lori was great! She made our night! She was so friendly and caring with a great personality! The food was delicious. Vodka gnocchi tasted awesome! The chocolate coconut moose desert was out of this world! Will be back again soon!

My family and I had an amazing experience at The Capital Grille - Rosemont/O’Hare. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. Our waiter, Mr. Alex, was not only incredibly attentive and kind but also multi-talented. He sang a beautiful happy birthday song for my sister and even engaged us in a delightful conversation about world languages like Spanish, Japanese, and Tagalog. The ambiance was enhanced by the stunning portraits of Chicago’s influential figures, which made the evening feel even more special. Chef Carlos did an outstanding job with our meals. The 14oz NY strip steak was cooked to absolute perfection, and the calamari appetizer was divine. My entire family was thoroughly impressed, and we couldn’t find a single thing to complain about. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience!
