But, I loved that we were greeted by the owner, such a great touch. Now to the food and wine. First of all, the wine selection is outstanding, I was speechless. Second, the freshness of the food is simply, sensational. A little piece of Italy right in The Gables. Will stop again soon.

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing and honestly upsetting. I made a…read morereservation for Valentine's Day for my partner and I a month in advance, expecting a romantic and respectful experience. We even arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation. Instead, we were sat at the smallest bar seating, which was completely inappropriate and not romantic at all for an occasion like Valentine's Day. As soon as we sat down, I politely asked if we could be moved. The manager then told me that I had booked bar seating, which is simply not true. Why would anyone reserve bar seating a month in advance for Valentine's Day? I checked my reservation confirmation myself and it never stated that, and I even tried making another reservation to verify ..bar seating wasn't even an option. He told us he would "see what he could do," and we were left waiting at the bar with no water, no menus, no service, and no communication whatsoever. Meanwhile, we watched multiple couples get seated at proper tables back-to-back. At one point, we even overheard another couple say their reservation was at the same time as ours, and they were seated at a table immediately. When I tried to politely ask for an update, the manager or owner completely ignored me. No acknowledgment, no apology, nothing. I was honestly in shock at how disrespectful and dismissive they were. We ended up getting up and leaving because of how uncomfortable and disrespected we felt. Valentine's Day is supposed to be special, and this restaurant completely ruined that experience.

I was really excited to try this place but was not impressed with the wine selection. If you are…read moreused to large wine selection (with thr wine machines) this place is not for you. Not a huge selection. Would have liked to try more wines from France. Also they were a bit expensive. Not worth it. In Orlando, you can try many wines for a few bucks. Here trying a wine was like the price of a glass in a normal restaurant. Food was good quality and the restaurant was very romantic. Loved the wallpaper. Service was also nice. Would I return? No. Am i happy i went? Sure. Somewhere new to break the routine

We also go to one in Delray with the machines. And it was unfortunately a disappointment. Not a great wine selection. No South American wines. Barely any old world wines and barely any California wines. And for the selection they had - extremely expensive. 10 bucks to TRY a wine. Not even a glass. Def a miss. Food was okay. It tasted good but didn't blow my mind. For the pricing, I was expecting better. Service and ambiance were good though!!! Server was very nice and the place was super romantic and cozy with sofas.

I love wine and I love Magie wine bar…read more What a gem of a place that embraces the neighborhood, has an incredible wine selection, and the perfect vibes for any occasion. I've been visiting a lot recently, and even joined their wine club which offers two curated wines a month. Locally owned and operated, I feel really good supporting a place that the owners put so much effort into to offer such a gem of a spot for locals. I've tried a lot of wines here, and I'm always amazed at finding something new to me that I enjoy. If you haven't been, it's the perfect place for a date, a girls night, or a day for yourself. They also have good snacks and charcuterie for you to munch on while you drink vino. Don't know much about wine? No problem. Their team will point you in the right direction and they have something for everyone. This is an approachable wine bar- they want you to enjoy the wine as much as they do and I love that about Magie. This spot has a nice indoor space and a beautiful outdoor area. They also have a sister location in the Grove.

There is a parking lot right on the side of the building, but if that lot is full, there is also street parking, and parking across the street in a lot behind the Citadel. The service here was great! All of the staff were very nice and welcoming. The set up of the lounge is also very cozy. There is plenty of space for people to sit whether you're on a date or with a small group, but seating is first come first serve, so if you're coming with a group it's better to get there earlier in the evening so you have a space comfortable enough for the size of your group. There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette. Overall this place has a great vibe to it and I heard they host events every so often. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice space to chill with some friends and enjoy a nice spot in Miami.

Miami has so many restaurants and bars but lacks of more wine bar offerings…read more As a wine enthusiast myself, I'm always down to try new wine places. Ruka Winewood has been on my radar for a while and I recently found out they have happy hours between 6-9pm, so what a better opportunity to give it a try. For a Wednesday night, they had a fair number of customers. I sampled their happy hour red blend pour. It was mid body, somewhat complex but low on tannins which allowed for easy and smooth drinking. The fruit content was moderate. It was the perfect wine for an early night, to sip and hang out with friends. I pretty much enjoyed the two glasses I had. Service was not the best to be honest. During the 1 hour I was there, no one checked on me. No one asked me if I wanted more wine, water or another pizza, etc. I was hopping to have their charcuterie board paired with wine, but they had no charcuterie. I asked for the pizza options and hey only had one out of the 3 options on the menu, only the cheese pizza. The pizza is not the best looking pizza, but it tasted delicious. The cheese was sort of smokey, that was delish. I would have that pizza again. Summarizing, I'm coming back pretty soon for their red wine, at $5/glass, you can't beat that up, specially when it is such high quality. I hope they have the charcuterie next time.

There are wine bottles available to select from a refrigerator and select bites and wines by the glass to order at the counter. The bites were tasty enough. The vibe is hit or miss in terms of music. Some days, you may get a lounge-feel. Other days, there is live music, or you may see more of an upbeat vibe with a DJ. I would phone or message ahead if you're looking for something specific.

The vibe outside was amazing such a great atmosphere for a night out with friends. Their wine selection is solid! We shared a bottle of Moscato, and I also had a Cabernet Sauvignon. For food, we got a charcuterie board with brie, baguette, olives, and salami, and everything was delicious. Such a simple but perfect pairing with the wine. Only small downside was that inside could definitely use better air conditioning because it got pretty warm. But overall, the vibes, wine, and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back!

Great Miami vibe without the jacked up Miami tourist trap prices…read more This place was a pleasant surprise for the price and atmosphere considering it is in Miami. They have a limited menu but the food was flavorful. Very cool casual chill spot with a friendly atmosphere and live music in front. It kinda reminds me of a speakeasy vibe with the courtyard dining at the back of the building. Now I will have to come here every time I visit Miami.
