Did you know there is a restaurant in Chicago with a florist inside? @machine_chicago in Wicker Park celebrated their fifth anniversary with a special event last week at the tiki bar. Resident flower expert @hidden_beauti gave us a lesson in the finer points of bouquet arrangements - I think mine turned out pretty 🌸 The restaurant features delicious and unique communal cocktails made by mixologist @anabirdy who gave us a cocktail demo and tasting that showcased new takes on classics that will have you reaching for a second serving 🍹 Thank you for inviting us!

Before making a reservation patrons should be told of the limited menu due to the understaffing of a chef. We requested silverware to eat with and was told there was none clean due to the dishwasher walking out prior to our arrival. Our server had to many tables to wait on therefore needs went unmet such as napkins refills etc. while the ambiance was good the service needs improvement.

This place is one of my absolute favorites! We're out in the suburbs but it's always a good place to plan to go if you're in the area or even to travel to! We first tried machine bar last year for my birthday in the summer and I've been itching to go back since! We went downtown for a serial killer speakeasy show at Chicago theater works and machine bar was just about 15/20 minutes from there! No brainer that's where we'd night cap ;) I have the toasty little jam which can we just say that is the cutest thing ever! And I had the heart of the ocean very fresh, crisp and delicious! I went with my husband, my parents, and our family friend. We all had something different and we all thoroughly enjoyed! My dad got the bee's pajamas that he'd had before and loved. My mom fell for the pistachio affogato last night (her fav cocktail EVER she said) and this time around tried their rotation of the Strawberry Affogato! She said it's a close second ;) lol Oh friend John tried the classic old fashion, the only negative was the signature "Machine" stamped peel wasn't present just a standard peel. But hey, if that's the worst thing that happened I'd say we're doing great! We tried some food this time to share with the table. We got the truffle fries, the mushroom pizza, and the bucatini! The mushroom pizza was probably my favorite thing of those options that we ordered but everything was delicious. The bucatini if you love garlic you would love this because it's fresh and bright but definitely garlic forward! Truffle Fries are so yummy when done right! These fries were crispy and perfect. My husband got his own dish he got a burger and said it was really delicious! His fries were great too ;) you know I had to sneak a classic fry! We will be back! Thanks Machine! Ps: headquarters (same group but immediately next door/upstairs to Machine) is always a fun night cap to the night cap for ONE MORE and a few arcade games before heading home :p

This was an awful experience. I made a reservation several days in advance only to arrive to find the location closed for a private event. Totally unacceptable as I confirmed the reservations. No one from the establishment was there to provide details and we only found out by getting assistance from the neighboring bar.

The ambiance was beautiful and where they seated me was lovely. I ordered a salad and was told that one of the ingredients was missing, but the server wanted to give me the option before putting in my order. Salad still came out pretty good. The mushroom pizza was not that good and the drinks although pretty were not as well-rounded as I would’ve liked. The server also tripped over my feet and the table multiple times. They did apologize, but I was not expecting this from such a higher end restaurant lastly, not one person from the staff let me know about the parking situation on their street. I realize that this is not their responsibility however, if their business lives on this street the courtesy to let customers know that they religiously tow after 11 PM would have been nice. The signs outside are so confusing. There were literally three signs on one pole, so make sure that if you go, you read each sign thoroughly. I made mention of this and the owner went out of her way to let me know how the parking is not their responsibility however she fails to realize that this is part of the experience and a court courtesy mention is all it takes for a well-rounded experience.

We're sorry to see we missed the mark on 5 stars. We will be bringing these notes to our team so we can improve. Is there an email that works to reach out directly?
