At Corked Restaurant & Wine Bar, we believe the best moments in life happen around a table—with a great glass of wine in hand and people you genuinely enjoy.
Nestled in the heart of Long Grove, Corked was created to bring a sophisticated yet approachable dining experience to our community. We’re not just a restaurant—we’re a place to slow down, connect, and savor. Whether you’re joining us for a casual weeknight glass, a celebratory dinner, or an evening that turns into something more memorable than planned, Corked is designed to feel like your place.
Our Philosophy
Wine should never feel intimidating—it should feel inviting.
Our approach is simple: curate an exceptional wine selection from around the world, pair it with thoughtfully crafted dishes, and serve it in an environment that feels both elevated and comfortable. From bold reds to crisp whites, hidden gems to familiar favorites, every bottle on our list has been chosen with intention.
We believe in:
– Quality over quantity
– Experience over formality
– Connection over pretense
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about what’s in the glass—it’s about who you’re sharing it with.
The Experience
Corked is where upscale meets unpretentious with a mix of causal and fun.
Our space blends the charm of Long Grove with a modern wine bar aesthetic—warm lighting, inviting textures, and an atmosphere that encourages you to stay just a little longer. Whether you’re seated at the bar discovering a new favorite vintage, enjoying a thoughtfully prepared meal, or laughing over a second (or third) bottle, every detail is designed to create a relaxed but refined experience.
From Our Owner
Corked was built on a simple idea: create the kind of place I would want to go to again and again.
A place where the wine list excites you but doesn’t overwhelm you. Where the food complements the experience. Where service feels personal, not transactional. And where every guest—whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth—feels genuinely welcomed.
We’re proud to be part of the Long Grove community and even more proud to be a place where people come together.
