    Great place if you like wine and want to try new ones. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Location is convenient, parking is pretty good. Menu is matched to wines but there are a few cocktails and a couple of beers are on offer too

    Staff is unbelievably knowledgeable and nice. Even with a restaurant full of people they make you feel like you have your own little world. Their knowledge is clearly built on real experience and not sales reps write-ups. Highly recommend.

    This was wonderful! It’s part wine store/bar/restaurant. We were greeted warmly by Amber and seated in the small inside restaurant area. (They do have a small patio area too.) We each got a flight of wine. I got a white - my husband got a red. Our server, Josh, took a lot of time to talk to us about what we liked. He then chose three wines for the flight that matched our likes. They were spot on! We shared a flatbread and had the warm olives. Both were terrific. We will definitely go back! The menu looked great so there’s more to try. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Highly recommend this amazing wine bar if you haven't been. So many different types of wine that change frequently so there is always something new to try. Staff is so knowledgable and friendly. The food is amazing, whether it's just a "nibble" or a full meal, you can't go wrong. So happy this place is in our neighborhood, it is a gem!

    Everyone at The Wine Whisperer is amazing! They are very friendly and quite knowledgeable about the wines they offer. There is a wonderful variety of not only wines, but also the food that is in the menu. Everything is high quality and it is obvious that they care deeply about service and pay attention to every detail.

    Special occasion, date night, or just in need of a welcoming atmosphere to relax after a hard day at work? Well look no further! In a day and age when good old fashion hospitality has faded The Wine Whisperer will assure you that it still exists. From the moment you enter this exciting new Bistro you will be surrounded by welcoming staff and atmosphere. If you're in search of good wine and new friends then this bistro will not disappoint.

    We made reservations for early Friday night. Josh was our server - super helpful and knowledgeable, as we had wine newbies as well as aficionados. We enjoyed some nibbles which were delicious - would’ve liked a little bigger portion for the price. I would definitely go back to try wines you just don’t see everywhere else. I had two Rosé’s and a red blend and I loved them all.

    My friend and I had a wonderful experience at The Wine Whisperer. With a gluten allergy and indecisiveness in tow, we did not trip them up at all! When I mentioned my friend’s allergy through Open Table, the team quickly responded. When we arrived, their GF practices and menu were explained. When we were overwhelmed with the delicious offerings, the food and beverage manager took care of us by bringing dishes she thought we’d like. She even selected our wine flight based on what we normally drink. Incredible and thoughtful service that will have us back for more. You will want to make reservations early!

    Fun evening trying different wines with knowledgeable staff & ended up buying a bottle. Delicious appetizers to snack on. Gorgeous setting and not noisy at all so great for conversations. Very attentive service & experienced staff make for a great evening. Not expensive - a Napa fine wine only $8 per glass. We will be back soon!

    The ambiance is beautiful(we had the pleasure of being In the peacock room this time); the service excellent; the wine knowledge of the staff in helping us select wines was superb and the cheese and meat charcuterie was a perfect compliment to the excellent wines. Jenna took the time to bring us her three favorite champagnes, which we loved and purchased! We will be back regularly! Thank you Amber, Jenna and Josh!
