    Beer selection in the fridge
    Jason R.

    Great little wine bar in downtown Columbia, IL. I'm not a wine expert by any means. However, my good friend Brian Donovan was a sommelier for several years at a world famous French cuisine restaurant in Paris (Illinois; not Texas). He says that Chateau La Vin has the widest selection of affordable and hard to find wines in the Midwest. Having an unsophisticated palate, I usually get one of their house wines. They are only five bucks and I have yet to get one that wasn't excellent! For being a wine bar, they always have a good selection of bourbons on hand; Woodford Reserve, Old Rip Van Winkle, Elmer T Lee (single barrel) just to name a few. They only have one beer on tap and it's always Heineken. It's so fresh, if you closed your eyes, you'd swear you were skipping through fields of tulips in the Netherlands. Finally, while Chateau La Vin does not have a kitchen, they do allow you to bring food from other establishments. With Joe Boccardi's located right next door, it's a great setup!

    Great wine selection, very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Perfect atmosphere with live music sometimes! The outdoor section is awesome in the summer!! Try the Klinker Brick wines, all delicious, Cabernet Sauvignon was my favorite! They have a good beer and spirits selection to for the non-wine fans, try the Stumpy's peach vodka!

    Grafted is such a cool place! You walk up to a beautiful, old mansion with so much character and…read morecharm! You enter the front door and are at the base of a beautiful winding staircase. Keep walking and you enter the bar area with other rooms off to the side. The staff are warm and welcoming. They greet you as you enter and direct you to seating. I sat at the bar and at one of the small seating areas and both were comfortable and cozy. The decor inside is what makes this place so charming! Antique furniture, couches, tables and cozy chairs at the bar! There is just a warm, comfortable and cozy vibe from the building, decor and the amazing staff! They have a several page long wine menu that includes glasses and wines by the bottle. If you love wine you will not be disappointed! But it doesn't end with wine...specialty cocktails, beers, and more. Look to the board to the left of the bar for other delightful specials. I tried the coconut hot toddy and it was yummy! Grafted also has a small menu with cheese and meat boards and the best part...'Potato Pancake Goes on a World Tour' menu! (Fri-Sun only) These are a must try! There is also a patio space that looks really nice! I'm looking forward to returning soon!

I had the brunch California potato pancakes. Highly recommend. The pancakes were crispy, snaked salmon in abundance, fresh avocado, plump capers and pickled red onions. The dessert flight was a perfect ending. Highly recommend the Mrs. Hibiscus. Affogato was excellent. Mushroom risotto was very good. Everyone was so pleased.

    After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The food- 3 of 4 of us said it was just ok. The other really liked theirs. We had 2 different pastas & 2 different sandwiches. Calabrian carbonara & citrus fettuccine. They were both kinda bland & not much flavor. Large portions. Wagyu reuben & smoked french. The reuben was a hit. The smoked french was too smoky. We had the pumpkin ricotta appetizer. It was pretty tasty. And the caesar was a large portion & decent flavor.

    Scarlet's Wine Bar -- Wuthering Heights, But With Cocktails…read more Had Emily Brontë given Catherine and Heathcliff access to Scarlet's Wine Bar, Wuthering Heights might have been a significantly happier book. Forget wandering the moors crying out for your tortured lover. Get yourself to the patio, order a cocktail, and pull yourself together. Scarlet's is a hidden gem with just the right amount of romance and charm. It's perfect for a light lunch, a romantic dinner, or an afternoon spent dramatically staring into the distance while wondering why Heathcliff hasn't texted back. Start with the cocktails, which arrive mixed to perfection in beautiful, classic glassware. These are not drinks served in some unfortunate tumbler. These are the sort of glasses Catherine Earnshaw would have dramatically clutched while declaring, "I am Heathcliff!" before ordering another round. Then comes the food. The watermelon salad is out of this world--fresh, bright, and absolutely delicious. Frankly, there would have been considerably less misery at Thrushcross Grange had someone simply served everyone a proper salad. Follow it with the pear and prosciutto pizza. Sweet pear, salty prosciutto, crispy crust--layers of flavor almost as complicated as Catherine and Heathcliff's relationship, but with a much more satisfying ending. And then... The blueberry cheesecake. Light. Fluffy. Dreamy. As soft as the clouds drifting lazily above Scarlet's patio--and considerably less ominous than the clouds hanging over the Yorkshire moors. The staff is fantastic: warm, friendly, attentive, and thankfully no one appears to be harboring a decades-long revenge plot against another family. But the real star may be the patio. Sit outside. Order another cocktail. Let lunch stretch shamelessly into the afternoon. Watch the clouds roll by. Discuss lost loves. Curse the cruel hand of fate. Or just order another piece of cheesecake. Scarlet's Wine Bar is romantic, charming, delicious, and wonderfully relaxed. So forget Wuthering Heights. For one glorious afternoon, make it Wuthering Delights. Heathcliff! Heathcliff! ...I'll be on the patio.
