| - Finally decided to check this place out since it's got such a huge following and always seems to be packed full of people. Usually Liberty is our go to in Downtown Gilbert(we cheated this time).
The Bestie and I stopped in for a little day drinking on a Friday afternoon. Glad we came shortly before 4 PM because after it got PACKED. I've had the hankering for a sparkling rose lately so I was happy to see one on the cute wine list clip board. Oh might I mention, $5 ANY glass of wine before 5 PM. Um, yes please. Since we both went with the rose, the server recommended we buy the bottle for the happy hour price of $20. Good deal. We also got a bruschetta board which was just incredible. Four good sized selections that are very easy to split(though you may end up fighting over your favorites). I also noticed that they have a large beer selection as well, something that is lacking at most wine bars. This is a huge plus since the husband is more of a beer drinker. I see a Postino date night in our future.
The atmosphere was fun, the groupings of tables and couches made the space crowded but welcoming, and even with open walls in 90 degree heat it was comfortable and airy. The service was just incredible. Our server was attentive and we had other servers checking on us, refilling water glasses, bringing out food, and just making sure we were having a good time. Both of us have worked in the service industry, a little attention goes a long way. They must have an amazing team over there for everyone to work together so well.
The entire time it was just a shock that there could be somewhere this fun and trendy, on this side of town. I've lived in Gilbert all my life, it's about time downtown gets a little spark back. Plus it's nice to see a new business doing great on this "cursed" corner.
We will definitely be back, with friends to help split a bottle. Looking forward to many warm summer nights on the patio at Postino.
