The waitress was wonderful and allowed us to eat outside as long as we also purchased food from their menu. Sure no problem I'll take the $10 olives....even though we planned on ordering a bottle of wine. The service was lovely, wine was delish, olives were olives. EXCEPT when the check comes and there is a $20 dollar open bottle fee that was never told To you. When we asked they simply said well it's on our menu. So our $30 bottle of wine now cost us $50. What a freaking rip off. This should be reiterated by the waitress when ordering to ensure customers are aware. I had just said to my fiancé that I will definitely come back... however after that shit no way. I'll go buy a bottle from the store next time and eat my damn pizza at home. Bad business motto for sure.. no wonder we were the only ones in there.

The owner Zhanna has so much knowledgeable to share about all the wines her shop/wine bar carries. The food is amazing and the menu choices are perfect.

I have never seen anyone else do this at any restaurant before, I have learnt so much about American cheese. Avocado toast and lamb shack are some of my other favorites! Overall awesome spot!

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.

Worth stopping by if you're in the area!

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 got the chicken salad (it was a hot day!) and he got a beef one, the flavors were both strong and refreshing. Learned that this spot is a good place to come after work too since they also sell wine and beer. Turns more into a happy hour kinda spot.

Stopped by for lunch yesterday and tried out the short rib flat bread. It had potential, but it…read morefell a little short. The biggest issue was the amount of meat, it definitely needed more short rib, especially for the size of the flatbread. There were too many bites that were mostly bread and toppings without enough beef. That said, the cheese was rich and melted perfectly, and the sauce added a great creamy, slightly spicy flavor that tied everything together. The crispy onions also gave it a nice crunch. Overall, the flavors were there, but the portion of the star ingredient just didn't match the rest of the dish. Add more short rib and this could easily be a much stronger appetizer. I also had an amazing drink; Bazzar After dark! Shout out to the bartender because it was amazing! Service was great! The restaurant is cute and clean and I'd definitely try them out again because they have a very interesting menu!

The machine has an ever-changing selection of reds, whites, and rosés to either taste or get a full pour of. Both times I have attended I have gravitated to the red blends, becoming favorites of mine. The staff were really nice to chat with and I love the way out of the place, though small. I would be excited to sit outside when the weather is better, though it's just the sidewalk with a bunch of cars going by a busy street. The inside has bar seats, a small lounge area, and a high long table. Did I mention they also sell a bunch of wines, snacks, and more? They have events too, so I will have to check those out.

I liked the self-serve option for tasting and/or a full glass. I was impressed with the selection of wines. My fave was the Castella D'Alba (a red blend from Portugal). They offer charcuterie options. It's not a large space so if visiting with a group, reservations are recommended! I can't wait to visit again.

Both times we've gone, it was during their happy hour, which runs until 7 pm, and we stuck to the special menu. Those have included their Charcuterie Board (something that contributed to Dr. Oz not being a senator), crispy Brussels sprouts, their Margarita flatbread, chicken skewers, and truffle fries. Don't hate us; that was spread over two visits. Everything tasted great, though next time I think we'll graduate to the real menu. The wines we've tried so far were either inexpensive or not bad. For inexpensive, I've had glasses of their $3 Tempranillo. While it wasn't great, I've paid a lot re for much worse. For "not bad", my wife had the $10 Buehler Cab. After it opened up for a bit it was quite drinkable.

It looked like a wine bar, very quiet wasn't too loud despite me going around dinner time. Def a great place for a girls night or date.

Thank you to Caruso's Grocery for hosting my granddaughter's 16th birthday dinner. A huge shout out…read moreto Patrick, the event coordinator from Caruso's who helped me in every aspect of planning this special event. The food was delicious. The group was given a choice of appetizers: meatballs, basil and tomato caprese salad, dinner salad, or garlic bread. Each of the appetizers were better than the next. The girls shared the meatballs, garlic bread, and caprese salad. Thank you to our server for bringing out gluten free bread for one of our guests with a gluten allergy. Our main dishes was the shrimp scampi,which was full of flavor and so tasty. There were several of us who ordered the shrimp scampi and you could hear a chorus of oohs and aah's. We loved every bite. I am pleased to share that Caruso's has gluten free pasta for guests with gluten allergies. And, the gluten free pasta was scrumptious. The birthday girl had chicken parmigiana and a side of spaghetti. She really enjoyed her meal. Another, guest had the penne pasta and she loved hers too. There portions were very generous. We also had a guest order the Caesar salad with shrimp. It came out with dressing, when the dressing was supposed to be on the side, but our waiter was quick to remedy that. The ambiance is lovely and reminds me of my grandmother's home in Little Italy. It is old world Italian with comfortable seating. I know it was a busy night, but the one fly in our ointment was our server. There was too much of a lag between courses, and main dishes came out of the kitchen at different times. Also, our gluten free guest had to sit and watch while others ate cake because her ice cream sundae was no where to be found. It finally made it to the table, but I felt badly for this young lady. I know our server was swamped with guests. Hopefully, next time a large party is on the schedule, they can lighten the load for that server. All of the girls had a good time including the birthday girl. So, I am reminded of the saying, it all works out in the end. Thank you, Caruso's.

This charming local…read moremeadery is tucked away in a warehouse complex, but the inside was surprisingly spacious and cozy. I was impressed by the wide selection of meads on tap so it actually took me a while to decide what to order! I ended up building my own flight with five different flavors. Overall, the meads leaned more toward the dry and crisp side rather than being overly sweet, which made them easy to drink without salty snacks. My personal favorites were BA Knotty Soda (Vanilla Bourbon) and Blueberry Brunch. In addition to mead, they also offer ciders, beers, smoothies, and snack plates like hummus, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. Parking was also convenient, with plenty of spaces right in front of the meadery. I'd definitely come back to try even more of their meads!
