If you haven’t been to @uvaechicago Kitchen & Wine Bar yet, this is your sign to go, especially for their happy hour. The oysters are excellent and pair perfectly with their huge, well-curated wine selection. It’s the kind of place where you plan to have one glass and end up staying longer. (We closed the place…)
We also tried a few dishes from their new spring menu and it really impressed. The mussels were easily a 10 out of 10. They were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The lobster cakes were another standout. They had a really nice texture and were larger than expected, which made them even better.
The duck was cooked beautifully and had great flavor overall. I do wish the skin had a bit more crisp to it, but it was still a solid dish.
And the cheesecake was on another level. Easily a must order and the perfect way to end the meal.
Between the food, the wine, and the happy hour, Uvae is definitely a spot worth going back to. Curious if anyone else has been and what you ordered??

Level Up Games 2025! I may have came in last in my division, but I still showed up and showed out! Extremely proud of myself and everyone who competed today! The energy level was unreal and everyone was so motivating and encouraging! So thankful for my @burnbootcampwestmontil family! Y’all the real MVP’s!!!
In my running girl era…..NOT! Haha! My second Shamrock Shuffle and I will say I surprised myself and did a lot better than I excepted! Grateful for my seester who encourages me and pushes me to get outside my comfort zone, even though I push back a lot of the times! lol but I love creating these memories with you!
Shamrock Shuffle 2025 🍀🍀
My 4th 8k and 2nd with my seester!
I'm so happy that we have the opportunity to do these motivating and encouraging challenges together. This year was definitely one we will never forget... from beginning to end 🤪
These photos were taken roughly about 2 years apart. I don’t even recognize that person is the top photo. Slow progress is still progress and seeing this difference is even more motivating for myself to keep pushing. Sometimes we need a reminder of how far we’ve come. Starting is the hardest part, but once you put yourself first, the sky is the limit and you will be surprised with what you are capable of. I say this to everyone who thinks I’m crazy for working out at 5 am 5 days a week; if I can do it, you can do it! Come workout at @burnbootcampwestmontil 3/17-3/22 for free!
TWO CLAPS ON TWO for this dynamic duo SISTER SQUAD, Andrea and Jessica 👏👏🩷🩷
They CRUSH every workout, are always up for a challenge and push themselves and everyone around them to go heavy and give it your all.
Congratulations for hitting 2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ camps on the same day 🥳💪
