| - Awesome ambiance and service, but overpriced even for the The Strip.
I've wanted to come here for awhile. My husband and I were seeing a show at The Rio so we came in before our show. There really wasn't much information about what's offered on their website so we went in not knowing what food and drinks were offered.
Walking in I immediately liked the ambiance. Located downstairs from the main casino area it is a cozy space with a rustic winery feel. Seating includes a long bar, tables, and couches. Seating areas are nicely spaced out. My husband and I opted to lounge on one of the couches and thought it was a comfortable way to enjoy our wine.
The woman that helped us was friendly and attentive. As soon as we walked in she greeted us and offered us menus. She encouraged us to sit anywhere we liked and she'd be over soon to take our order. We were given the perfect amount of time to look over the menu without being rushed. She continued to check on us enough that we felt taken care of, but not so much that her presence was intrusive to our experience.
The menu offers many different wine flight options as well as wines by the glass. Flights start at around $30, but most are $50-$60. Each flight comes out to about two glasses of wine. I saw on Yelp that they were working to improve their food menu so I thought they might have a few appetizers. On our visit the menu only offered a couple of cheese flights, a couple (literally two) meats, and items you'd get with cheese plates like olives or nuts.
We wanted a glass of wine each so we shared a flight of Pinot Noirs. Three of the wines in the flight were good. Ironically, the most expensive wine in the flight was not good at all. We ordered a cheese flight that included gouda, cheddar, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. This was a sad display with some dried fruit around the cheese. It did come with a large bread basket featuring the same breads served at Voodoo. For $30 and a nice wine bar you'd expect a nicer spread with mustards, jams, or nuts. We also ordered the meat plate which had five pieces of two different meats. The meats were delicious, but again the presentation was sad with just a small cup of olives on the side.
All said, we had the equivalent of two glasses of wine, some cheese, some meat, and a lot of bread for around $140 with tip. I realized later that this spot offers 25% off to locals, but even with that discount this spot would be a hard pass. Next time I'd just skip this spot, spend a little extra money, and have a full dinner at Voodoo Steakhouse.
