    We were a table of 8 and they sat us in this Wonderful private room. We had a cheese board, a brie plate, assorted flat breads, French onion soup, a salad and shrimp linguine. Everything was Wonderful! The walnuts in the salad were warm, the flavors were different and Yummy! We had great service. We will be going back!

    Wine Bistro is always good. It was rainy so we sat inside at the bar and was surprised it wasn't as crowded as usual on a Friday night. Happy hour wine and flatbread were very good, as always. Last time I had the Juliette and tried the tomato flatbread this time. Both are very good but the Juliette is probably still my favorite.

    The service, food, and atmosphere were all amazing! The service was above and beyond, though. My friend lost her wallet so we had to go back, and even though they were closed they immediately answered the phone, found it, and waited for us to pick it up!! Great staff and place. The cheese board is top notch 👌🏽

    I've been to this particular location quite a few times, not sure what was going on last night, but it took over an hour to get the salad and a flat bread that we ordered. Waitress wasn't super attentive either, so I don't think we ever even got refills on our water.

    I attempted to send a message to the restaurant directly but there was not enough room to leave the comment. I had booked a reservation for 3 at 645 on 4/1 - the table was booked 3 days in advance and there were several time slots available. Upon arriving, I was escorted to a high top in the bar area. I asked the host if we could have another table and was told no, they were completely booked. Very disappointing since I had also “booked” a table well in advance. The service was not good (slow, didn’t clear dishes, generally inattentive to us) and it made the overall experience not good. I can only speculate that the service was not good due to being located in the bar area. The food was good but the experience was not. I had been to the restaurant in the past and previously had a good experience. This time around I invited two first time diners. Unfortunately I doubt they will return. If I book a table I would expect to have a table in the main restaurant area. Thank you.

    The food is phenomenal, and they have the best salmon I’ve had in town. I will say, they can work on how some of the food is served. For instance, we had a couple dishes that tasted great, but we’re tricky to eat in a decent manner (of course, that’s us being particular at this point). The service was lacking slightly, but it was also very crowded. Overall, very great. I look forward to returning.

    Only once have we had a less than good dining experience at UA's Wine Bistro - that was coming out of the CoVid Lockdown when a lot of new servers and back-of-house staff were getting into the industry. Since then, it's been very good, including this visit. Can't wait for the weather to break so we can enjoy their lovely outdoor seating.

    The white wine flights and hummus appetizers were good but the entrees were disappointing. I had shrimp and risotto, came out of the kitchen luke warm and the sauce was strange. My boyfriend got a pesto dish that he said was pretty mediocre.
