I have been to Bliss numerous times, sometimes with friends for a wine and painting event, wine and live music, or with the hubby for one of their dinners. The most recent event we attended with some friends was the Mardi Gras dinner. Wow, what a fun time with great food!Bliss always has something going on, so check their Facebook page to see what's on the calendar. This is not a restaurant, but they frequently have tapas or other eats available for purchase, and they occasionally have special dinners, like the Mardi Gras affair. The wine selection is really nice, and surprisingly reasonable in price. We got some really excellent wines to go with our Mardi Gras dinner that were all less than $25 a bottle.It's such a great little place in the heart of Wauconda. Check it out sometime!

We ate dinner there on a Saturday night. The food and wine was excellent. The service was excellent. There was a minor issue with our bread plate (a hair on the plate), they apologized, brought us a new plate, and then poured us two glasses of an excellent wine as another apology. The glasses of wine weren't expected but appreciated.The plates are almost all tapas style. They are a big variety of Spanish and Italian food. Lots of meats, seafood, vegetables, pastas, salads, etc...It is reasonably priced too.

The food is pricey, but that's because it's good. You can find great sandwiches for a little less as well. There are always great specials and wine specials and the servers know their stuff well. I'm a big fan!
