Contemporary American
The Wine Bistro, with three Columbus, Ohio locations in Upper Arlington, Westerville and Worthington, offers an exciting array of well-curated wines and a list of select craft beers. The menu features light and filling appetizers & small plates, soups, salads, flatbreads and entrees offered every day of the week for lunch and dinner. We open at 11:00 AM Mon-Sat and at Noon on Sunday.
Gather a group at one of the communal tables or in the private tasting room. Shop for wine priced at near state minimum or pay a small corkage fee (waived on Mondays & Tuesdays) to enjoy your bottle in-house.
We look forward to exploring great wine and food with you soon...

    Excellent food. Fast, efficient service. Patio was a bit noisy from Lane Avenue traffic, but our group was laughing and enjoying the beautiful day, so we weren’t very bothered by it.

    Not willing to adjust menu items for dairy allergies, like using olive oil with pasta instead of cream sauce. First restaurant we've gone to that wouldn't do this. Service was slow to get food. Other than that, the food was good.

    Excellent food and service. Columbus makes it difficult to enjoy outdoor dining spaces, but this bistro has a side patio section that makes the noise level acceptable. We had a great time!

    We always enjoy the wine and atmosphere here, but the menu almost never changes and the food is mediocre at best, and the service varies greatly from visit to visit. Too bad, could be a nice place to enjoy wine and a meal.

    2 waitresses inside the entire building, making it very difficult to order quickly or efficiently. Waitress was amazing at her job and not her fault it was so short staffed. Ended up staying a lot longer than we wanted, just due to lack of service. Short rib was extremely tough and dry. The menu is almost identical to Napa Kitchen in Dublin but the food & service there is much better. A bummer.

    Disappointing $16 cheese board. They were definitely understaffed, which I do not blame on any servers, cooks, or hosts — that’s on management. Server was doing his best but it was obvious they were swamped. Food and drinks were mediocre at best, especially considering the price. Likely won’t come back.

    The food here is always excellent, but service is variable, depending on the server. On a previous visit, where the purpose was just to enjoy a glass of wine with a friend, the service was superb - the server kept an eye on us, checked in occasionally, and was attentive without ever being intrusive. On this past visit (5/30), the server just didn't have that intuitiveness . . . plus, brought out 2 dinners and then there was a five-minute gap before the remaining 3 dinners were brought out. I was not thrilled to watch him holding a conversation with folks at the adjacent table while holding my glass of (chilled) wine, either. Your 'would you recommend' question needs a third option of MAYBE or IT DEPENDS

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!
