The wine bar is upstairs in Tivoli Village. There are little shops around the restaurant you can look into such as dance classes, art stores, and even a hair salon. However, when I went most of them were closing down for the day. I stopped by the View Wine Bar at around 5:30 PM.
We shared a bottle of merlot as we looked outside the window. It had a magnificent view of Tivoli village and a bit of the city. The wine was smooth. The waiter did a great job picking out a nice bottle for us. We ordered the dates and the avocado bruschetta. The dates were okay, but I am not a huge fan of them to begin with. However, my friend loves dates and she said it was tasty.
The avocado bruschetta was SO GOOD! I loved the balance of the crunch in the bruschetta with the wiped avocado mixed with orange, tomatoes, red onion, lime crema. We ordered a huge cheese platter that was great! I am not sure what cheeses were on there, but it was all good. I loved dipping the crackers in the drizzle of honey they had on the side.
The ambiance was relaxing. Sometimes they have a piano player there to entertain the guests. The service was excellent. The food was good and I would definitely go back there for a girls night to enjoy wine and some tasting dishes.
Make sure you park in the garage then go all the way up to the top floor above the Market. It is easier to get to the restaurant that way than to park behind Brio.
