Machine: Engineered Dining & Drink Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Seems that the food was average and that the drinks seemed
Seems that the food was average and that the drinks seemed to be the highlight of the establishment. Would recommend for the drinks but not the food as it seems quite colorful and tasteful in photos but lacking flavor in reality.
The outside patio is poorly maintained and a trip hazard!
The outside patio is poorly maintained and a trip hazard! Wobbly chairs and tables with people cutting through due to the overwhelming size of the patio in relation to the sidewalk. Recommend the restaurant spend some money repairing and right sizing so more comfortable and friendly to the neighbors.
My first visit to this place left me thoroughly IMPRESSED.
The floral-themed interiors of this cocktail bar, coupled with its charming flower shop, provided a unique ambiance. While I initially made a reservation, I later realized that on a Thursday evening, walk-ins are feasible, particularly on weekdays. Situated in the heart of Wicker Park, Machine Engineered is renowned for its innovative cocktail program. My sister and I ordered the Windy City Mushroom Risotto, Mediterranean Bowl, and Buccatini alla Gricia (sans bacon), all of which were decently good, showcasing a diverse range of food options. The cocktail menu is quite elaborate, featuring two distinct sets: "Machine Beloved" and "Communal Cocktails." We tried Birdsong and The Maverick from the former set, each boasting unique flavors and served in creatively shaped glasses. In the communal cocktails, we opted for Breakfast at Tiffany's. Communal cocktails are designed for sharing(2-6 people), and had a charming presentation like a diamond-shaped container adorned with a pink rose, which people can take home, thanks to a small water enclosure ensuring its freshness for a few days. While the cocktails are bit on the pricier side I would definitely come back for the experience. The server recommendations were good. The service is quick. A must- visit !
The food and drinks are delicious! Come here if you're
The food and drinks are delicious! Come here if you're hungry, just plan on waiting a while. Giving 4 stars only because the service is SO bad. As in, we had to go up to the hostess twice to get our server to the table. Lunch for 4 and we were there for three hours. Bill with 20% tip came to $335, so it won't break the bank. Great brunch date spot!
I have come here many times and this is one of my favorite
I have come here many times and this is one of my favorite group cocktail places - Especially their happy hour specials! You can get half off their group cocktails and omg they are so cute. This is the perfect girls night spot because their large format cocktails come in the most unique presentation and all taste just as good as they look. I love this place and their servers /host are super friendly. The breakfast at Tiffanys and the black heart drinks are my favorite. Their lychee one is also delicious - basically you can't go wrong. They have a cart of flowers you can even buy and create your own bouquet - so cute for a little birthday, anniversary, celebration, dates, etc.
Had my birthday dinner here and the service was phenomenal!
Had my birthday dinner here and the service was phenomenal! They also got such free shots, and I shared birthday cake with our server (she was so nice!) haha. The food was pretty good and the drinks are soo pretty! Fun place for a night out!
It is so rare nowadays to get the level of service,
It is so rare nowadays to get the level of service, attentiveness and detail from staff that you can expect at Machine Engineered... they've perfected a lost art in this regard. Gorgeous restaurant with great food and drinks.
Went here for a friends birthday.
On the weekends, they have a brunch menu. The ambiance was nice clean with a contemporary feel. The waitress was nice and somewhat attentive we kept losing her from time to time lol. I ordered the maple breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was very good and delicious and the potatoes were nice and crispy. They also made my friend a birthday tiara made out of flowers, we paid for it of course lol but it was beautiful. Will definitely try again!!!
I walked in expecting this place to break the bank but was
I walked in expecting this place to break the bank but was pleasantly surprised by the price of the brunch menu, definitely on the priceier side but for how delicious and immersive the experience was overall it was very worthwhile. beautiful layout and interior design and incredible touch with the optional flower crown. will be returning to try out the cocktail menu :)
I have been to Machine a couple of times and have always
I have been to Machine a couple of times and have always loved the experience! It is a very nice cocktail bar that offers unique crafted drinks! We recently walked-in on a Friday night for snacks and drinks to celebrate a friend's birthday and got lucky to get a table for large party without any prior reservation. We ordered Herbed Mushroom Spread and Volcano Tofu for the table. The Volcano Tofu was my favorite(I am definitely going back for it!!) The Thai curry was very flavorful and I loved the topping of scallions and red chillies. Machine is known for its large format cocktails that are meant to be shared. We ordered Black Hearts Club that was shared amongst the group. We all loved the charcoal and smoky flavor infused with tarty pineapple rum! The bottle in which the drinks were served was also very cute! I would definitely like to mention the service of this place is one of the best in Wicker Park area. I've never had a bad experience, everyone is warm and sweet! Our server gave us complimentary wine drinks when we shared that we are celebrating a birthday! They also let us cut a cake that we'd gotten from another bakery and did not really make a fuss like some places! You should definitely consider Machine to enjoy a good globally inspired menu, and well crafted fancy drinks. P.S. They also have a Table side Flower service aka a Florist shop in the restaurant, how cute is that?!
It was a beautiful location, with flowers everywhere to be
It was a beautiful location, with flowers everywhere to be seen. Went here for a late Galentine's Day dinner. I was a little skeptical at first but was pleasantly surprised by the end of the meal. The communal cocktails were delicious and meant to be shared with loved ones. I ended up having two appetizers as my meal and they were more than enough. I am a sucker for some well-seasoned, crispy tofu and the tofu volcano was DELICIOUS. It was brilliantly paired with some red curry. I will be coming back for some more. The only reason my review is not five stars is because our party felt rushed by the staff. Maybe because it was Friday night and people were waiting? Either way, give it a try - and try to avoid busy lunch or dinner times.

We live in the neighborhood and have ordered delivery from Machine several times previously, but we finally ate onsite a few days ago, and we were not disappointed. We ate bar side from their special Valentines menu and were treated to deliciously inventive cocktails by the lovely Sophia. Loved the whole vibe, from decor, to service, to food, to music. Will definitely be eating onsite more often.
We got drinks here on a Friday night, and they were
We got drinks here on a Friday night, and they were fantastic. The ambience was great - all the florals and the flower cart were beautiful and we had such fun picking out flowers for our bouquet! Our server, Rashad, was wonderful and so kind. Overall we had a great experience here and will be returning!
Overall 3/5 Drinks: 4/5 they clearly put a lot of thought
Overall 3/5 Drinks: 4/5 they clearly put a lot of thought into the flavors and presentation. Really good drinks Food: 1.5/5 The apps were hit or miss - hits were the truffle fries and the mushroom hummus (though the bread was extremely hard) - the mushroom hummus was delicious and unique. The bucatini was good and the chicken was pretty great too. Unfortunately our server had recommended the salmon above these other dishes so many of us ordered it. They said it should be medium rare but it was pretty dang dry. We all were also asking if we could replace the potatoes but they insisted we try them because they were great and crispy. What we actually received was half a plate of soft, bland potatoes. If the majority of my plate is untouched like this you know it's bad. I ate the salmon because it was ok and I was hungry but a little salty that I paid $30 for something that was extremely subpar. Service: 3/5 we had a larger group and service was awesome for the first half of our meal but by the end we hadn't seen our server for a long time and were wanting another round so we asked someone to send them to our table. It was another 15 minutes til they finally came and still felt like we were flagging them down so the person we asked to send them back our way may not have communicated that...the restaurant was emptying out by the time they made it back which was surprising it took so long for them to get to us. The server was great and super friendly, this is probably just speaks to waitstaff capacity Ambiance: 4/5 cool place, great set up for a date or for groups. Very cool that they offer bouquets for sale in the corner I've never seen that before & they were beautiful
Pricey, but lovely
Very pricey, bougie, but lovely restaurant with very tasty food, and delightfully different cocktails. Four of us went for dinner on Dad's dime and enjoyed the atmosphere, food and drink. We had an appetizer to share, 4 entrees, 2 sides and 6 drinks between us for about $280. A bit pricey, but the service was very good, the decor not so loud you couldn't talk, and there was no wait for a seat.

Prepaid Reservation Fee

When you sell a reservation that has a prepaid fee AT takes a commission on that fee. This doesn’t really make sense because it’s an expense the seller incurs not part of the profit that is shared.
For example:
Carbone NYC fee to book table for 2 is $108.88
If you sell it for $200 on AT you get $140 from them.
Your net profit is $31 and AT collects $60 in fees.
It would make more sense not to charge commission on the upfront fee as this creates a disincentive and results in higher costs for buyers.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
