I am such a huge fan of the Wine Bar in Rocky River. I am surprised I haven't reviewed them before because they are my Go-to spot for wine, date night, girls night, special occasions and more!
The wine list is wonderful. It is ever-changing and their sommelier clearly selects the best bottles to serve. There is something for every pallet and a knowledgeable staff to help you find what that is.
I've had some great meals at the Wine Bar. One of my favorite things (which I don't think is on the menu right now) was House chips with malt vinegar aioli. Perfect potatoes with bacon, bleu cheese and scallions with a malt vinegar aioli dip. So amazing.
The ambiance of this restaurant is just as charming as the food, drink and service. The outdoor patio is one of the best places in Cleveland to relax with a beverage. They keep it heated on chilly nights and we've sat out there as late as November before. The restaurant is not huge, but we've never had a problem getting a table or booking the space for a party.
My only complaint would be parking. The lot is shared with some antique shops, so you often have to park across the street. Truthfully, I'd park across town for Wine Bar. :-)
