Lush Wine & Spirits - Evanston
2022 Central St, Evanston IL 60201
Our patio is open for RESERVATIONS ONLY, subject to dry weather. We also have two Bistro Tables on Central Street for walk-ins. We have a fire pit and gas heater for cool evenings. Please note that Face Masks are REQUIRED when you are being seated or when you are not at your table eating and drinking please and thank you. In the back where we grow our herbs we have a table for 2, four tables of 4, and a table for 6, each 6 feet apart. All will be reliant on the weather, so we will announce weather necessitated closings via Instagram and our website. We will also call reservations if weather necessitates a change from a dining reservation to a curbside pickup reservation. We are currently taking reservation from noon to 8:00 PM for days with a good weather forecast. Please bear with us as we dance with Mother Nature. Please not that we will require reservations whether online or by phone to ensure that there is no waiting inside. Also, we will have to close the Patio Dinning and settle checks/ distribute to go packaging if it begins to rain. By operating reservations only we will have time to sanitize tables, keep track of who has dined (in case this is needed for future communication) and to sterilize water decanters between seating. With flexibility, creative solutions and an open mind we look forward to bringing you comfort, safely gracious hospitality, and indulgent sustenance.

Had an excellent evening for one of our first outings in months. Devonte was so gracious, letting us order when we were ready but ready to take our order. He offered some advice on a nice rose. Handled dividing up the tab and added the bottles each of us ordered. Great experience. And, oh! meat and cheese plates delightfully presented and so very tasty!

I had the pasta of the day... pappardelle with wild mushroom, garnished with a dollop of cream, a proscuitto crisp and a basil leaf. There were also peas and corn in the dish....the sauce was a light cream....all perfectly cooked....EXCEPT there was something in the sauce that was bitter.... Everything else was fine.... Octopus Conserva, Steamed Mussels and the Krabby Patty. Chocolate cake for dessert.....that might be interesting with a reduced Porter drizzle.

Even if it was not a Covid outdoor experience, the food and service were wonderful, the wine and atmosphere too. A perfect summer evening.

Overall amazing experience. Henry is a keeper!! I would say that the cocktail prices are a bit high. Other than that, you have a unique concept. A bit of the city in the suburbs!

Most enjoyable evening on the patio, under a huge oak tree. Excellent tasty, cold melon soup, delicious walleye entree, and good wine. Felt very comfortable with tables spaced very comfortably apart.

sitting on the patio was delightful; of course the weather was perfect. Tables were well spaced. The food was very good and we got an amazing deal on 3 bottles of wine (2 for the price of 1 plus no service charge on the third bottle we had with dinner). I had the octopus appetizer and gazpacho for my meal and both were outstanding.

The back patio is a great find. While the menu is limited, everything is excellent!
