Why go
All Together Now is worth booking when the priority is a relaxed Chicago meal with serious wine credibility rather than a formal tasting-menu night. Star Wine List recognition gives it a stronger drinks signal than many casual neighborhood options, but diners seeking a high-budget contemporary format should cross-shop Feld instead.
About All Together Now
All Together Now is a Chicago venue with a casual dress code and verified hours that make it usable beyond a narrow dinner window. The confirmed schedule is Monday closed; Tuesday through Friday 11 AM–9 PM; Saturday 10 AM–9 PM; and Sunday 10 AM–5 PM.
The clearest confirmed distinction is its Star Wine List recognition in 2026. That makes wine a fair reason to pay attention to the venue, while other specifics about menu format, pricing, seating, service style, or group setup should be checked directly before planning around them.
Go for a casual Chicago visit with confirmed wine recognition
Based on the verified information, All Together Now is best framed as a casual Chicago option with recognized wine credibility, not as a venue whose exact format can be assumed from public shorthand. There is no verified detail here for a tasting menu, counter setup, private room, seat count, chef-driven format, or specific cuisine, so those should not be treated as part of the decision.
The hours give the venue more range than a dinner-only listing. Tuesday through Friday service runs from 11 AM to 9 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 9 PM, Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM. For the most current operating details, confirm directly with the venue before going.
Who should book it
Book All Together Now when a casual Chicago setting and confirmed wine recognition are enough to make the visit appealing. It is a better fit for diners who are comfortable with a general, low-key plan than for anyone who needs verified details on price, seating, private dining, dietary accommodations, or a specific menu format before committing.
If the goal is to compare it with other Chicago options, Feld, Lao Peng You, Nettare, Soule To Soule, A Tavola are natural names to consider, depending on the kind of meal and availability you want. Because only All Together Now's hours, casual dress code, Star Wine List 2026 recognition are confirmed here, check each venue directly before making a final choice.
The take
The Take
The Vibe
All Together Now operates as a genuine wine-shop-and-bistro hybrid that privileges both retail bottles and a working counter kitchen. The room reads as functional rather than overtly designed, favoring small-batch, counter-led service that encourages casual encounters—someone buying a natural Beaujolais to take home sits at the same counter as a neighbor ordering a sandwich. It fits neatly into the West Chicago Avenue corridor’s independent, neighborhood-minded identity: unpretentious, approachable and quietly confident in its dual purpose.
Best For
This spot is ideal for relaxed weekend brunches and casual midday lunches, and it easily serves as a low-key dinner destination for diners who want well-made, unfussy plates. Weekend Bagels and Creamed Eggs Over Toast point toward brunch appeal, while the French Exit Sandwich and roasted half chicken make it a reliable lunch-and-dinner option. The hybrid format also suits solo visitors and small groups who enjoy sharing a bottle from the shop without the formality of reservations.
Ordering Tips
Expect counter-led service: you can buy bottles to take home or settle in at the counter for a sandwich or small plate. Because the place is set up as both a retail wine shop and a functioning bistro with equal emphasis on each side, plan to browse the bottles and then order at the counter—no reservation culture is implied. If you’re aiming for brunch, look for Weekend Bagels; for heartier evening options, the roasted half chicken and venison are the more substantial choices on the menu.

Where to go if this does not fit
If the meal needs to feel more formal or occasion-driven, choose Feld instead. It is the clearest upgrade for diners who want a contemporary, higher-spend format.
If the goal is a casual neighborhood alternative, cross-shop Lao Peng You or Nettare. They make more sense when cuisine mood or location matters more than a wine-led reason to book.
Restaurant context
How it compares in Chicago
All Together Now is the lower-pressure choice in this group: easier to use for a casual meal, stronger on wine credibility than a generic neighborhood stop, less of a splurge than Feld, which is the pick when someone wants a contemporary $$$$ dinner with more ceremony.
A Tavola, Lao Peng You, Nettare, Soule To Soule are better cross-shops when cuisine mood drives the decision more than wine. Pick All Together Now when the drinks program is part of the point; pick Feld when the occasion justifies a higher spend and a more structured contemporary experience.
For booking difficulty, All Together Now is the safer first attempt. Feld is the more occasion-coded alternative, while the other neighborhood peers are better used as Plan B options when location, group comfort, or a specific cuisine craving matters more than recognition.
