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
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.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
