What a lovely hidden gem! We actually booked at the bar ( very comfy stools with backs, tooks for your purse/bag, and a foot rest) so were able to talk with the bartender about the specials both food and drink. We tried the cast iron cornbread and arugula salad for starters and they were enough for all three of us to enjoy. My husband had the ribeye they are apparently known for and said it was perfect. Bonus was it came with smashed potatoes which he said were super delicious...and too much to finish! My daughter and I had the Artic Char special. It was cooked to perfection, including the crispy skin. Came with a side of lobster ravioli ( one of their specialties) and grilled Zucchini. Heavenly! We all shared the toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Drinks wise, their Manhattan was delicious and chilled just right when served up. My daughter had a Pino Grigio she enjoyed and my husband had a house red that we all tasted and found to be just right. Couldn't have asked for a better meal, reasonably priced, excellent service. Highly recommend!

The restaurant ambiance is very calm and relaxing. Service was excellent. Food was good but the portions sizes are smaller than expected. We got the cheese board and I wish the amount of cheese we got was larger. I will definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an intimate dinner date.

I couldn't click submit until I clicked on the tallest bar. I'm not sure what that meant. The reality was, the noise level was close to none. I was sitting outdoors and loved the sound of water while dining. It was music to my soul, not noise.

Wonderful time on first visit. My wife and I enjoyed a couple of different flights and a glass of each of our favorite wines from those flights. Also tried a light lunch of a flatbread that we very good. Love the concept of this place and the location is a nice setting considering that it's basically in a strip mall area. The view of Pikes is nice. Cheryl greeted us and told us their story and we were charmed to hear about her and her husband's journey to becoming wine bar owners in Springs. We'll be back soon and often with reinforcements!

The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress busted her butt and we were never without anything. They have made a lot of changes for the better. However, I’m not sure why you would remove salsa from the menu and you can either only have chips and guacamole or chips and queso, no longer chips and salsa. Please bring back the salsa.
