Patina Wine Bar

“Patina has quickly become a local haunt for us since moving to Park Ridge (from NYC) two years ago. The wine is varied and great, and the food has hit every single time (the new gnocchi they added to the perm menu is amazing, and the Brussel sprout pizza is SO GOOD). It feels like a small, intimate place that you can just enjoy with friends and family. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t tried it - we’re going to keep going for dinners and date nights!”

“We went with a group of 6 for my birthday. The food was incredibly delicious! Chef Jose is a genius! We had the Brussel sprout and chicken bruschetta flatbreads, pear salad, Korean BBQ meatballs, and dessert. The Sweater Weather drink was Fall in a glass. Looking forward to going back.”

“We had such a fabulous time at this establishment. My family and I visited Patina before the Wicked premier, so they had themed drinks & decorations galore! We were originally going to just have a glass of wine before dinner, but decided to stay and dine because the food looked so yummy, in addition to the moody, quiet, and cozy vibes. Steven and Frankie were awesome bartenders and were attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Frankie insisted we get the Petite Filet; and it was, in fact, better than any steakhouse I've ever been too. We also got the sweet potato crostini, blistered shishito peppers, and the fig & prosciutto flatbread; all of which were very tastey. Tim came over and introduced himself and wanted to know of our experience, which exceeded our expectations. We will be back to try more from the menu!”

“Came in the evening around 7 pm on a Saturday night for some good wine, ambiance, and light eats. They delivered on all three accounts. The roasted pear salad was amazing and refreshing and the special fig and prosciutto flatbread lent well to the pear salad as well. Really enjoyed it with some light white wine. If you are into charcuterie boards they have choices of meats and cheeses. The price varies upon how many items you choose for your board. Seemed like a favorite amongst the couples seated at the bar. It is an intimate setting and seems like quite the date night hot spot, so you may want to get a reservation. We lucked out with 2 seats left at the bar as a walk in, but every seat in the house was fairly occupied.”

“First two times we tried to visit they were packed. Third times a charm! Such a great addition to Park Ridge. Everything we tried was outstanding. Loved Loved the Smoked Steak Tartar! The tuna tower had beautiful hearty peices of tuna. The cucumber and avocado were just the perfect addition to this small plate. The Korean Bbq meatballs had a little kick and were tender. Tried the octopus as well. It was tender and flavorful. We had fun sampling the wines and even bought a bottle to bring home. The atmosphere was upbeat and the decorations were tasteful. Our waiter Wally was knowledgeable about the wines and food. He also had a great sense of humor. If there was a negative I have to say it was the chairs. Too nice a place to have hard metal chairs to sit on. Hope to come back soon with friends! This restaurant will do great in Park Ridge.”
