| - I came here at the suggestion of my friend who lives within 4 minutes of The Wine Bar. This was my first time here and first impressions were dark, woodsy, and modern décor. I arrived first and was seated in a little alcove where everyone else was sitting - for a Monday night it was quite busy!
As the name suggests, The Wine Bar does offer many glasses of wine in 3oz and 6 oz size. The price of the 6oz portion varies from $12 - $24. I had a glass of the Maconne which can be considered a Super Tuscan so in this sense it was nice to try a glass, but expensive. For main course my friend and I had the Yukon Fries which comes with Ketchup, Mayo, and Spicy Aoili; Beet Risotto; Chorizo; and Fried Calamari. I have to admit that every dish was average...nothing out of the ordinary. For dessert, we had the bread pudding which was by far the best dish of the night in my mind. Needless to say, this isn't a dinner venue, but rather, a pop-in for a bite and a drink place. And because of that, it's not bad. If you wanted to have a glass of wine and some nibbles in proper style before a show at The Sony Center, then this place would be great.
Service was efficient and the bill came out to almost $100 plus tax and tip for two so this place is not the cheapest.
