The staff even made some recommendations for my significant other who doesn't enjoy wine, but does enjoy bourbon. Check them out if you're looking for a fun twist on a typical date night!

I stopped by on a rainy day around 1PM, so it was super quiet (which I loved). Our waitress was a gem. She let us try a few wine options before we decided what we wanted to order. I ordered a glass of rosé and the Greek board, and both hit the spot. The rosé was crisp and refreshing, which was perfect for a humid day. I paired it with the Greek board, which had all the Mediterranean favorites. A generous amount of pita, olives, hummus, feta and grapes! I'm a sucker for a good Med plate. Whether you're looking to have a girls day, a casual date, find a new spot to work from, or just pop in for a light lunch and glass of wine, Tinto is the spot. I look forward to visiting the VB location!

If you're expecting rolling vineyards and a sommelier swirling a glass while lecturing on tannins,…read morethink again. Vintner's in Yorktown is not that kind of winery. Thank goodness. Plenty of those wineries exist. This storefront is all about fun, fruit-forward wines that encourage you to not take life so seriously. One sip, and you'll get why some folks call it "Capri Sun for adults". But instead of poking a straw through a pouch, you get to drink from a wine glass like the grown-up you pretend to be. The new owners have kept the heart and soul of the place alive, creating a relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious vibe. It's not a destination winery where you spend all day. It's the kind of place you visit to sample, find your favorites, and keep coming back to restock. And you will want to restock. Pro tip: Make a reservation online before you go. And maybe don't bring enough charcuterie to cater a Renaissance fair feast, unless you're ready for some friendly teasing. Either way, you're in for a fantastic time and some delicious, boldly fruity wine.

It's not clear to me if this is still a restaurant as the website and when I visited for a wine…read moretasting, there was no menu. My friend and I stopped in for a wine tasting. They are offering wine tastings on the weekends and usually at specified times per the website but the location was empty so they let us walk in. The wines are fruit forward but not syrupy. I prefer wine a bit drier but can see these being favorites at festivals or for those who don't love traditional wine. The wine tasting was $15 and we tried 8.

Kinda pricey for what you get. Food was good but two of the six of us ordered the daily quiche…read morewhich was supposed to be chicken Parmesan with onions. One order was correct. The other quiche was broccoli and cheddar. When brought to the manager's attention, he said sometimes they run out and instead serve a "backup" quiche. Seems very odd the kitchen wouldn't have alerted the waitress so she could ask us if that was ok to substitute. Manager offered to replace with something else but I didn't want to wait another 20+\- minutes for my food while everyone else ate. Also, don't order the crab and corn chowder. I didn't see any crab. It tasted decent but should've been called potato and corn chowder. We won't go back.

I've been in the industry for over 25 years grew up with the "the best pizza places" in Queens..... blah, blah, and tbh I am kinda a snob too, I know how hard a kitchen is. But I can also tell when a restaurant just puts crap out because if they don't no more job.. but this friggin place has that special something that you can automatically tell that there is actually love put into everything. It's just one of those places. I honestly have not been this amazed by pizza in years. It's all the same. It was like having pizza for the first time again. This is 100% a BOH PLACE. Between the crazy quality of the beer selection and that sauce holy crap I'm going to dream about that damn sauce! I say that this is a restaurant for restaurant people but anyone would be floored by this place. GREAT F'N JOB Just go. Had to buy a hat to represent this great addition to the area Maybe this will help Hilton Village become a destination to eat, drink and bar hop. Who the hell needs 75 architects and lawyers??? More food and more people with passion!

They had discount wine up front but the counter. A wall of wine for purchase is in the rear. Other grab and go refrigerated items like soup, cakes and ice cream.

This has been high on my "want to try" for a long time and finally saw an opportunity with an available reservation, went for it and am so happy I did. I dined solo, which I rarely do, but this was the perfect place for it. It was apparent that most people dining were regulars. The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!

Circa 1918 Review We…read morehad an amazing experience at Circa 1918 last night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of charm. It's a small, quaint space that gives you that perfect blend of cozy neighborhood vibes with an upscale, refined feel. The food was absolutely outstanding--every dish had unique, well-balanced flavors that clearly showcased the talent of the chef. You can truly tell that a lot of care and creativity goes into the menu. The service made the experience even better. The bartenders were fantastic (James especially stood out!), and the waitstaff were incredibly personable, attentive, and welcoming. Circa 1918 is one of those rare places that feels both like a hidden neighborhood gem and a fine dining experience all in one. We will definitely be back!

We ordered almost immediately. 50 minutes later I got my sandwich, and it was luke warm at best. My wife ordered a salad that arrived about 10 minutes later. I've been there countless times in the past and never had an issue. This time may cause me to re-think going back. Saw another table wait even longer for their food. I know it's a dive bar but they always had good food int he past. Really a disappointment this time.
