Uvae Kitchen and Wine Bar

Date night, girls night, “just one glass” night… @uvaechicago fits every vibe 🥂✨ Tucked in Andersonville, this cozy little gem is serving seasonal small plates, good wine, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for “one more thing.” Here’s what made it to our table: 🧀 Build-Your-Own Cheese Board — because decisions are hard and cheese helps ✨ Fried Artichokes — crispy perfection with heirloom tomato chili oil + citrus 
🍉 Watermelon Salad — fresh, bright, minty goodness with queso fresco + lime 
🌱 Charred Snap Peas — whipped queso fresco + chili crunch = dangerously addictive 
🦪 Scallops — sweet corn risotto + pork belly had us quiet for a minute 
🍖 Lamb Chops — the jollof BBQ rub??? immediately yes 
🍰 Basque Cheesecake — topped with tart cherry compote and disappeared fast 
🍋 Olive Oil Cake — soft, light, and the perfect ending Honestly, the perfect spot for sharing plates, catching up, and slowly losing track of time ✨ #ChiGirlAboutTown #ChicagoFoodie #ChicagoRestaurants #WineAndDine #chicagoneighborhoodgems

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?? #chicagofoodie #chicagofoodscene #gayfoodie #chicago #foodgasm Shout out to my plus one for the camera work and company- @dre621
