Ziba's Restaurant & Wine Bar

Absolutely fantastic! We rented the place out for a work holiday party (approx.
65 people) and had an absolute blast.
The catered food was awesome, the desserts were great (I wish there was some more variety but they could’ve been bec we didn’t buy more), the staff and bartenders were amazing and super patient! At some point someone busted out the Bistros karaoke machine and we all let it rip and it added something special for sure.
12/10 would absolutely recommend for big gatherings!!

Great hidden gem in grant park! Very warm atmosphere - loved all the candies making it very inviting Service was great! They even worked to create a meal that accommodated my gluten and dairy free diet.
I got the chicken pancetta - but grilled instead of fried chicken with a special creation sauce (olive oil, garlic, white wine) instead of the normal dairy lemon based sauce.
My meal was very healthy and fresh tasting.
Friends got the bow tie pasta and lasagna and liked it! Friend also tried the chocolate chip bread pudding and liked it.

My friends were very excited to take me to the "Best Kept Secret in Grant Park" and this place is definitely a gem.
The atmosphere is great and the food was even better.
It is definitely unassuming from the outside, but it is very special inside. We ate with two little kids and Ziba's had a small but ample kids menu.
The food was really good for kids food (I stole some pasta and French fried). For dinner, I got the Jambalaya with Shrimp, Chicken, and Andouille.
It was very good and huge portion.
It came with an awesome slice of spicy cornbread that was served warm.
My friends got the Barbacoa and Avocado Salad which also looked amazing. I'm knocking a star for price.
The food was much more expensive than I would have guessed and they even charged for soda refills (which was not explained beforehand).
The service was also lackluster but they seemed to be short staffed. All in all, I would recommend it.
Ziba's offers great atmosphere for a special occasion or a simple night out with date or family.
Give them a try! (just don't tell anyone)
