We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation on a busy Friday night. The staff made a table in a perfect spot available immediately. We were a bit out of the way of the traffic and bustle of the bar, but able to casually keep an eye on the Olympics without the noise and bar food of a sports bar.
Our server Moira was accommodating and attentive without being over the top. She had some good suggestions and had a great sense of humor. When we stretched the evening from dinner to another round of drinks the shifts change. It was seamless. The next waiter had the same spirit of customer service.
We ate relatively light with brussel sprouts and pizza. Both were right out of a master chef’s kitchen with high quality ingredients and layers of flavor that made them special dishes.
I know a little about wine and was ready for a flight, but I spotted a hard to find Cabernet Franc. It was a delicious wine. The other drinks ordered were equally good.
I can’t wait to return for the blackened grouper and more Cabernet Franc.

We sat at the bar and only received proactive service when we first arrived. After that, we had to flag the bartender for everything.
I ordered soup, a baked potato, and a side of carrots. My friend ordered cheese curds and the grouper entrée. A couple who arrived about 10 minutes after us received their food first. When I asked about our order, the response was that they “thought we wanted everything at the same time,” which had never been discussed.
The side of carrots was about 1/3 of a carrot sliced paper-thin. I sent it back. My friend’s grouper plate had polenta, no garnish, no vegetable, and no presentation. It looked careless and unfinished. It gave cafeteria food vibes.
We were told they were short-staffed. This isn’t the first disappointing experience here, but it will be the last.
I want to support local businesses, but there are plenty that deliver better service, portions, and consistency without excuses.

An experience made from scratch that you will not forget. And specials that are sure to bring back memories and make new ones. The finest ingredients. A1 presentation. In signature homebrewing that you simply cannot compete with.

Expect crave-worthy appetizers, entrees, and a wine list that’s both delightful and well-curated.

If I could go lower than one star I would. I opened the tab and paid cash on my way out. They charged my card anyways. When I called them to question it they said they knew they made the mistake and then they would credit my account, Never happened. I wouldn’t go there if it was the last restaurant on Earth. Opened the fraud case with my bank and they sided with the restaurant. So be careful when opening tabs with this restaurant!

I hosted a small gathering for my daughter’s 21st birthday. She wanted to do a wine tasting. The staff here went above and beyond to make it classy and intimate. We enjoyed our tasting and some appetizers. Thank you to the managers and staff for giving it your all!

I’ve had my eye on this restaurant ever since moving to Elgin five years ago and was excited to finally try it. Unfortunately, the experience was a huge letdown.
I ordered a burger with an Impossible patty and fries. The pickles and tomatoes were just tiny, thin slivers, the bun was overcooked and too small for the patty, and even the barbecue sauce and mayonnaise had odd, cheap flavors. My mom had the French onion soup, which she said had hardly any onions and tasted like eating a bowl of salt water. For dessert, we tried the carrot cake—it was dry, stale, and seemed several days old. The food is extremely overpriced given the quality of ingredients. The only bright spot was the service—our waitress was attentive, kind, and on top of everything.
Overall, unless you’re just going for boozy drinks, I’d avoid this place. There are plenty of restaurants in the Algonquin area with much better food at the same or lower price. Total disappointment.

We have visited the Village Vintner multiple times and are members of the wine tasting club. I’m not normally a wine club person, but I look forward to seeing everyone whenever we come here and for our tastings.
Everyone here is so friendly and lovely. The food is amazing and the team are accommodating for dietary restrictions and double check things for us all the time (I have celiac).
We love the Vintner! You’ll be glad you came here.
