“Cocktails were clean and creative 🍸 and the wine pairing made everything shine 🍷 We finished with their cheesecake topped with seasonal compote and these fun little crunchy bits 🍰 It was light, tangy, and the perfect ending”
If you're looking to pay $200 for a $50 experience, this is where you want to go.
I’ve eaten here several times in person but my pickup experience left alot to be desired.

We had such a beautiful evening at Uvae Kitchen and Wine Bar in Andersonville 🍷✨ Everything felt thoughtful without being fussy. We started with the burrata with marinated strawberries, basil, lavender, and pistachios 🍓🌿 It was creamy and light with just the right touch of sweetness. The fried artichoke stole the show early on. Crispy and rich, with chili oil, citrus, and the creamiest pecorino sauce 💛🔥 Then came the black cod. It was so tender and flavorful, with miso, cucumber salad, red cabbage purée, and a crispy rice cake 🐟🍜 Every bite was balanced and comforting. Cocktails were clean and creative 🍸 and the wine pairing made everything shine 🍷 We finished with their cheesecake topped with seasonal compote and these fun little crunchy bits 🍰 It was light, tangy, and the perfect ending. The service was warm, the space was cozy, and we left already talking about when to come back. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem 💫

“Just blocks away from me and I finally made it here.”
Just blocks away from me and I finally made it here. I read about the happy hour so I went and had a great time! 6 oysters abs 6 shrimp, cava, and a great mussels dish! Carlos the bartender was great and told me about all the specials they have throughout the week. Very dangerous to know since I'm so close! I'm so glad I finally made it here and I know it will be a regular place for me.

Had dinner here, and it was a pleasant experience. The sommelier was knowledgeable and nice, with the wine pairings being the highlight. The food was prepared with care, but the taste was just alright. Good vibes overall. I’d come back for the wine tasting and happy hour deals.

In Chicago we suffer an embarrassment of culinary riches and I’ve enjoyed many a fine meal here, but after four years in the windy city at Uvae, I may have just had my best meal yet. The February Wine Dinner was the best four-course Prix Fixe I've ever had -- period, full-stop. While the food and wine were excellent on their own, pairings were harmonious making the total more than the sum of its parts. Our server Erika was funny, engaging, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Her descriptions were spot on and she really contributed to our experience. What more could a diner ask for? Manager Cate was gracious and warm as well. The portions were generous and beautifully presented without being overly ambitious. The service was warm and professional and the ambiance just right. The talent and passion from every single person in the kitchen shone through on every plate and with every bite. I can not sing the praises of Uvae highly enough and wish the restaurant and all the talent that resides within every success. What a not so hidden gem in Andersonville this is. May it shine for many years to come.

“Artistic yet delicious …the best of plates were beet salad and blood orange paired perfectly with a blanc de noir.”
Artistic yet delicious …the best of plates were beet salad and blood orange paired perfectly with a blanc de noir. Then the sous vide beef tenderloin was incredible and a tempranillo. Uvae’s owner was complemented by staff, and they dished up quite the experience. Bravo!

“We were going to eat at another restaurant which there was an hour wait.”
We were going to eat at another restaurant which there was an hour wait. We were uable to wait due to a show we were going to, so we looked across the street and there it was, Uvae!. We can't say enough of how the management, hostest, server and server's asstant were very nice and attentive and ofcourse how delicious the food was. From the 3 appetizers we ordered and the 4 dinner dishes we ordered all agreed everything was exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit.

“I have been to Uvae 5 times and every time the food is amazing and the service is so friendly and timely.”
I have been to Uvae 5 times and every time the food is amazing and the service is so friendly and timely. During Covid quarantine we ordered delivery and the scallops arrived perfectly cooked which is saying a lot if you know how easy it is to overcook them. I recommend all dishes but love the fried artichoke, scallops and heirloom tomato and peach salad. My boyfriend went on our 3rd date here, 4 years ago, and we are so happy that it is still thriving.

I was sleeping on this place for a while … my bad! Loved the cocktails and the wine list is extensive and they have some really nice wines. The charcuterie was excellent as well and the atmosphere inviting. Perfect for a meet up with an old friend or date night.
