Wilmette Wine Cellar

This mid-sized wine shop offers a good variety of wines at different price points and from various regions. They also have a small but high-quality selection of beers for non-wine drinkers. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with dark wood decor that is typical of wine shops. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and given space to browse without feeling pressured. When I asked for assistance, I was provided with helpful suggestions without being pushed towards expensive options. I visited with a friend who prefers beer, and he found a unique six pack that he had trouble finding elsewhere. The shop offers seating and the option to have your bottle uncorked for a small fee if you can't wait to enjoy it at home. It's a nice spot for sharing bottles with friends or for a casual date night. I definitely plan on returning.

This is a fab place for gatherings. The staff is super knowledgeable about wines and the prices are reasonable. Very comfortable but sometimes noisy if people are drinking. Came here twice for an author event and could barely hear the author/s speak. Wine and atmosphere divine. Street parking available.

The fantastic wines and atmosphere never disappoint at this restaurant!

I really wanted to like this restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience on a Friday night was not great. We walked in and saw a nice wine selection, but there was only one customer at the front talking to a staff member for 15 minutes. When we got in line to buy a bottle of wine, the staff continued their conversation without acknowledging us. After waiting for 20 minutes with no greeting or thanks for our patience, we finally reached the front of the line and the staff member commented on the wine we chose. The patio looked inviting, but overall our experience was disappointing. It seems like others have had better experiences, so hopefully we just caught them on a bad night.

Best service, amazing selection, very cool rare wines
