Good to know: if you buy a bottle from the menu, there's no corkage fee, but if you grab one from the store and sit down, there's a $10 corkage fee. They have a solid selection and a cozy, welcoming vibe. It feels like a great neighborhood bar/store with weekly events like trivia, live music, and open mic nights. Worth stopping by if you're in the area!

Uncorked is my go-to spot for wine shopping. With its extensive selection of varieties and…read morereasonable prices, it's a win-win. The Friday wine tastings are a fantastic bonus; just give them a call to confirm. Patrick, possibly the manager, is a gem - knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready with perfect wine suggestions tailored to my preferences. The ambience is casual, welcoming and friendly. You can get small bites or drink wine in the store at the bar or tables nearby. They also have events like trivia and live music. Uncorked is more than just a wine store; it's a treasure trove of wine wisdom. Whether I'm stocking up on bottles or expanding my palate at tastings, Uncorked never disappoints. Highly recommend for both novices and connoisseurs alike.

I came for brunch with a friend. Service was quick and helpful. We came to celebrate my 30th birthday and they came out with a birthday dessert as well. I ordered the sticky toffee pudding cake which comes with pineapples. I was expecting it to be very sweet but the pineapples paired very well with the cake. The space is bright and beautiful, floor to ceiling windows bring in so much light. I would certainly come back again!

Tyrell did our tasting, and he was amazing. Even though the restaurant was very busy, he was extremely attentive and always made sure our wine and water glasses stayed full. Tyrell has a great personality, and you could tell the customers really enjoyed interacting with him. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tasting feel welcoming and fun instead of rushed. The entire team also seemed to genuinely enjoy their work, which created such a positive atmosphere throughout the restaurant. After hearing Tyrell explain the benefits of the wine club, I honestly wanted to join right away. Unfortunately, there isn't a Cooper's Hawk location in our area, otherwise we definitely would have signed up. Thank you to Tyrell and the team for making our visit such a memorable experience!

The first few wines weren't really my style, but once I tried the Gewürztraminer I was sold. It was slightly sweet, really aromatic, and had such a nice tropical flavor. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle to take home. Dinner was just as good. My friend asked if they could combine two menu items by pairing the crispy Parmesan-crusted chicken from Dana's Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with the lemon-caper angel hair pasta from Ellie's Chicken Piccata, and they were happy to do it. It looked amazing, and after trying a bite I can definitely say it's worth asking for. I ordered the Prime Churrasco Grilled Steak, and everything on the plate was delicious. The steak was cooked well, but the wasabi-buttered mashed potatoes were honestly my favorite part. They had just enough wasabi to give them a little kick without being overpowering. The broccolini and cilantro-lime aioli rounded everything out really nicely. The atmosphere was relaxing, the restaurant was beautiful, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. If you're going, I definitely recommend doing the wine tasting before dinner. Even if you think you already know what you like, you might end up discovering a new favorite like I did. We'll definitely be back!

Was a bit skeptical, but for someone who hasn't drank wine in a while, I would definitely come back here just to drink wine! Half off a bottle on Mondays and the appetizers! We had the Charred Octopus and it was amazing! The way it was cooked with the tomatoes and also the flavors were to die for! We ordered two that day. The service was fantastic, the room was clean and cute on the bar side. I was so busy with my octopus and wine that I couldn't bring myself to check out the dining room! We did order the corn crab fritters off the happy hour menu - they were good, but they were not the WOW like the Charred Octopus. Even my boyfriend was impressed and he does not drink wine, but he was definitely all about the Charred Octopus. Now I'm worried since I'm telling you about it, they may run out of Charred Octopus the next time I go visit! I'm hoping to make this a normal Monday thing to have wine and charcuterie, since this place is so cute and awesome! Also, on the plus, I had to mention, the server heard we were celebrating my friends birthday and brought up champagne which was awesome and impressive. Now that is thoughtful service! Smashing Grapes - see you very soon!

We came here for Father's Day lunch. This was my first time coming to this restaurant, and I…read morethought this would be a nice place, judging by all the great reviews. BUT no. Save your money. Warning the review is long. TLDR: service is so bad and so expensive for shitty quality food. Though their coffee and sangria were delicious. We were seated promptly and while waiting for the rest of my family arrived the waiter brought us water. He claimed the appetizers were good for sharing so I was expecting the portions to be good. Our party was 8 adults and 2 kids. We got 4 appetizers and it's good we got 4 of them because had we gotten 1 or 2, literally everyone would get like 1/2-1/4 piece of appetizer. So not sure why he said the appetizer was good sharing size. Also I want to note these appetizers are not cheap. They were very expensive for the amount you get. You would think if you paid $20-$22 per app you would get more. Literally paying for an entree with significantly less food. Onto the food: The waiter claimed that the Lemongrass chicken was "juicy". We got two of these and it was SO SO DRY. The Mediterranean salad I got was so salty. And the mussels that I also ordered were disappointing. I want to say 60% of the mussels were closed. This indicates that these might have been undercooked, poor quality or simply did not get checked. The mussels were so salty as well. What really pissed me off is that my mom ordered the shrimp tacos. Nothing complicated about that right? Well they never came out. We find out that there was a mixup so they sent it to a different table and we're "working" on a new one. Tell me why almost two hours later they never came out till we asked for the check? Then they magically come out in a to-go container. Literally the sloppiest mess you can imagine. How is that acceptable? You're telling me it took 2 hours to make this pile of shit? And what's even more absurd is their own menu says it comes with fries. Well in that small ass container they did not include fries. I asked about this and they looked confused and said it should come with fries and that they would get it. I have never experience such ABYSMAL, ATROCIOUS service. Sure the waiters and front staff were nice but nice doesn't make up for the terrible service. Something is going on in the kitchen for sure. Why does it take 1 hour for appetizers to come out. And then 45 min after only 3 people's meals come out. In polite company you would wait for everyone's food to come out to begin eating, but idk what they were doing back there that there was such a delay. Once the 4 of us finished our meal well the 5 people's food comes out, they got an entire order wrong. Ordered a kids pepperoni pizza and they brought cheese. We told the waiter that this was wrong and literally 5 min after he brings what I can say is the SAME DAMN CHEESE PIZZA with pepperoni slices right on top and a bit of Parmesan cheese. We could tell it was the same pizza because the pepperoni were sitting right on top like someone just added it on. We complained to the manager and he brought a new pepperoni pizza that was good this time. We had to ask multiple times for condiments and water refills. I could give a little leeway if this restaurant was so busy but it was not busy at all. Our waiter kept peeking over at us and not coming over like he was scared. And if your service is gonna be this bad, at least the food should be good but no. You have terrible service and shitty food that you're paying $$$ for. And gratuity being included is laughable because the service provided was not worth an almost $80 tip. We had to get up and find the waiter to ask for the check and where the hell the shrimp tacos were. In the end they tried to comp only the pizza and the shrimp tacos, but that was unacceptable. They did comp the appetizers. But they tried to give us brunch vouchers but why the hell would we come back to this place that had terrible service?? Make it make sense. And now that I review the 1 star reviews, it is consistent with everything we experienced. Terrible service, missing food, and hunting down the staff. Also the owner responds to bad reviews with AI responses. Shame.

They were definitely very busy but our server was still attentive and friendly. My friend ordered a flight of wine and I ordered a glass of the Poggio Le Volpe, 'Roma Rosso'. The wine, as always was delicious. My friend ordered the IBWC Fall Burger and I ordered the Grilled Bistro Steak Frites. The Steak was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We had also ordered side Caesar salads. It was restaurant week and neither of us opted into the the 3 courses for a price option but our server did kindly inform us that she grouped it that way to help us save and include the dessert. We ended up getting the Nutella dessert (I don't recall what it was called). While the presentation wasn't great, it was very good and I would recommend it. Wish I liced closer so I could come here more often but it is one of my favorites in the area.

The interior is beautifully decorated, golds and greens with gorgeous lighting & a fireplace. We were greeted by Laurie who seemed to be both host and server! She was really sweet and super personable. The food was amazing. I loved my chicken Marsala, the chicken was cooked perfectly. The fries were delicious, the extra crispy kind that you can't find many places! The cream of crab was so good, I don't like when there are chunks of onion in it and this one was smooth and thick. The steak was awesome and so was the whipped feta! The wine flight was a nice touch, they have a ton of wines and cocktails for everyone else (also a full bar)! For my birthday the chef prepared a berry sorbet with candles! It was the best sorbet I've ever tasted and I wish I could have more now! The prices were very reasonable and they do happy hours all day on certain weekdays! We will for sure be back!

A cute little wine and gift shop, hosting Friday and Saturday outdoor concerts…read more We love this little wine shop, both for it's offerings, but especially for the weekend concerts and the outdoor umbrellaed tables. We drove up on a Saturday late afternoon in Aug 2025 and found parking across Main Street. There are other free lots nearby and sometimes a free shuttle around town on Sat and Sun. While waiting for the music, we staked out a table among some that people had reserved ahead of time in front of the wine shop, with other tables just outside the lot and more across the quiet side-street. From the wine shop, we got a nice little pinot noir to take home. They offered plastic glasses and a bucket full of ice, so we could have had that during the concert. They also have beers and ciders, gourmet snacks, and many clever and original accessories and crafts. The wine shop's owner encouraged up to walk to nearby Joe's Deli, and across to the Patapsco Distillery where the band set up under a small canopy, and we also got some food and drink from them for our table. And there's a sweet little ice cream shop across Main Street too! The band played light rock and folk and people were relaxed in conversations and enjoyment of the music. The gentle breeze kept us cool under sun-shielding umbrellas. This is nicely done weekly pair of concert, and the welcoming hostess and cooperative nearby shops make this a pleasant way to visit Sykesville on a Friday or Saturday evening, continuing through Nov 8th.

A delightful and whimsical wine shop…read more From first glance, Vine on Main looks like a fairy hut, or at the very least, a hippie's hideaway. Colorful clothing hang up in display, palm size houses tucked away behind rocks, and a cozy outdoor seating area are the first things to great you as you approach the store. Once inside, you'll find yourself in a claustrophobic den, filled with locally made goods such as clothing, foodstuffs, and art as well as wall to wall wines. Choices are plenty despite the small size of the store and at reasonable prices. For those living nearby, be sure to check out Vine on Main's wine club to get more wine at better values. The real highlight of Vine on Main is the owner, who is the sweetest woman you'll meet. She's highly knowledgeable about all the products in the shop, even the non-alcoholic ones and is more than happy to share information about them. Not only does she have excellent wine and booze recommendation, but she'll even offer some free samples if you ask her nicely. Plan on shopping around the area? She'll take your order, bag it, and leave it to the side so that you can pick it up when you're all done instead of lugging around heavy bottles. If you're in the area looking to buy some good wine or just want to spend some time with a fun and interesting woman, then check out the Vine on Main.
