Last night we treated ourselves to Flights Wine Cafe Valentine's Day Couple's Dinner. It was fabulous. We asked for meat substitute & got Spinach Ravioli with Asparagus & walnuts. The rest of the meal was Stuffed Peppadew Peppers, Stuffed Mushrooms, Artichoke & Black Olive Spinach Salad, Rosemary garlic potatoes, Ciabatta Bread, glasses of chocolate-rimmed champagne. We bought a bottle of wine as well, and for dessert - Chocolate Truffle Torte w/decadent cream sauce. It was fabulous!! read more

Morrison's hidden treasure. I almost don't want to let everyone know how awesome this place it. It's small, quaint & sophisticated. They have a cute courtyard for outdoor enjoyment. Saturday nights they have live music. One of my favorite wine cafe's. They do have some beer!! The Chocolate Bomb dessert is amazing! read more

I love it here! The wine selection is broad and expands wine drinkers' palates to beyond California. Think Argentina, Spain, New Zealand, plus gimmes France and Italy. It's truly an intersection of international wines. White Pinot Noir, who knew? The staff keeps things lively, and the outdoor setting is hands-down the best in Arvada. But the clincher? The food!! The flatbreads, almonds, roasted red peppers, pickled deviled eggs, cheese/charcuterie boards, desserts (Do. Not. Skip. Dessert) and more feel like they've been chosen to go specifically with the wines. Anything off the food menu pairs beautifully with any of the wines. An evening here may not be inexpensive, but it's worth every penny. My husband likes it, and my mom and besties are new fans. read more

Yay! A great little wine and tapas place right in Arvada. Went with a few friends on Saturday and sat outside under the stars on a beautiful evening. Our very nice waiter brought us blankets when it cooled off, and we sat and listened to an acoustic guitarist (Jeff?) who was absolutely fantastic. Great menu, wonderful wine list - we had a truly lovely evening at Flights! read more

We popped in here on the way home last night and wow how fantastic it was. Tons of wine on the list! (They do have beer too). We ordered two appetizers/shareables thinking they would be small and wow was there alot of food. And really good food at that! Try the smoked trout dip, lots of it and fantastic and the artichoke hearts dish was amazing. Super ambiance. The place is very small on the inside, but can accommodate several people. Can't wait to come back in the summer and check out the patio! read more

Will definitely return. Very pleasant atmosphere. Owner served us and enjoyed hearing some of the Morrison history. read more

Flights Wine Cafe - Patio Garden Dining - Wine Bars Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Had high hopes for this place. The server and owner were super rude. We ordered a few flights and one of the wines was undrinkable by everyone in our party. We told the server and he said oh well and took our full glasses of wine. The owner then came over and said that the wine was their most popular, and we said well it tastes horrible, and she said well maybe it was a bad bottle. She didn't replace our glasses or even deduct the price of the wine. That could have been handled so much better. Then the server gave us our check and said "thanks for wasting my time tonight," even though we spent almost $300. Won't be returning there. The food was good though that's why I'm giving it 2 stars. read more

Love!! Love!! Love!! Amazing food and amazing wine!! LaVonne and Dave strive for perfection! A must visit! read more

I want to love this place. The atmosphere is amazing and the concept is good but the customer service is beyond disappointing. I feel it is possible that we came on an "off night" however customer service to me, should be transparent on the good days and bad. My friend had to wait for me briefly and they asked her to move from the table THEY sat her at to an unbussed table. It was never actually cleaned off for us in the end... We then ordered some small plates. Two of our three plates came. She said the next one was on its way. It never came. We tried to get our server's attention but she never even came to check on us. So my friend went into the house and she said "oh yeah, it's been sitting back there...". She came back unapologetically and without any care or concern. In most establishments, waiting that long typically means it's taken off the bill or some sort of way to rectify the situation. In fact, I don't know many establishments (even the less than great places I've been to) would do something to redeem the situation. Nothing. Nothing was done and I'm pretty disappointed. In the end, the food wasn't even that good. And the service continued to suck...or actually was non existent (until of course it was time for the bill). I noticed everyone around us was looking for some actual service as well. I have a lot of respect for the industry especially as someone who has been a part of it. Today at this place, I am stunned at the lack of professionalism and class. The biggest waste of our money. Perhaps a fluke? Either way, if that's how they handle business I don't care to go back... read more

Absolute best wine bar in Colorado. Owners are awesome fun people. Our wine attendant was great, friendly and informative. A must stop if ever in Denver or nearby! read more

It was our absolute pleasure to visit this local business tonight! Reserved a table w/fire pit for five and enjoyed a comfortable evening with delicious wine and food. Strongly recommend for date night or anytime. Great knowledgeable staff and location. read more

We had wonderful appetizers and service on our visit. The atmosphere is very calming and nice and the view is amazing. It is Colorado, of course. I would definitely visit again as it was an easy stop before heading to Red Rocks. read more

Unique and extremely tasty apps and plates. Owner cane by in a very genuine manner to check on us.

This fabulous wine cafe is so cozy and makes you feel right in the backyard of your parents house. The customer service was excellent the waitress did not know it was our first time dining, and she explained everything so well. The happy hour South African Red Wine was very good.. as well as there food. I had the special flatbread of the day which is truffle mushroom and we also ordered the cheese platter as well as hummus platter. It's a perfect venue for a girls night out or even date night with your loved one. The place is very welcoming and I absolutely loved everything about it.. being a local of Morison now it's nice to know I can come here to relax have a nice glass of great wine and at the same time enjoy amazing tapas. I also recommend ordering the white and red wine flight 2oz of three different kind the portions are well served ;) read more

We had a girls night out last night, 8/22/20 at Flights with this being our 2nd visit to this wine cafe. We learned the first time to sit further away from the entertainment as we could hear each other talk. So, we sat by the side door thinking it was far enough away to visit, it was not. The entertainment was so loud. We noticed there were alot more tables than when we visited in June that did not look like they were 6 ft apart. The service was soooo slow, it took almost 2 hours to get our food. It was slow in June as well. The server indicated they were understaffed and the kitchen had lost some tickets. Why would you have more tables when you are understaffed we asked? The server never came back to check in on us, let us know the status of our order or offer another drink. We will not be back. read more

Our waitress took our order and then we literally never saw her again...not to bring us our food, not to check on how it was, and definitely not to bring us our check. We waited over an hour to even glimpse her to ask for it and she was nowhere to be found. Luckily Gina noticed us and asked if we needed anything. We still never saw our waitress again. I hope she is okay??? read more

Went back after a visit to Besos... Apparently its been sold to a new owner. Charming fellow and the vibe was excellent. I really want to see where this guy takes the place I have very high hopes for him. Regardless of that it was a most pleasant evening. The gift of blankets when it got chilly was nothing short of charming. Well done new guy read more

Good wine and friendly service. There's a lot of outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

The Flight is a great place to meet friends for a glass of wine and some good food. It's located in Golden near the river, a nice location. The owner is very nice and the staff is wonderful. I would recommend it to friends. read more

I visited Flights Wine Cafe in Arvada back in August, (a little late with the review.) The service was horrible. The place was empty and our table was the only one filling up. The girl/lady that was serving us was something to be desired. It took over 45 minutes for us to receive our first glass of wine. When one of our friends asked "why it was taking so long," we were met with a very snappy/rude comment that they were "short-staffed and that's just the way it was going to be until someone else came into work." I have not been back since, nor do I plan on going back. Others in my group felt the same way. read more

Had a girls night at flights last night and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the wine was great and the staff was the best. Can't wait to enjoy the patio this summer. Will definitely be back! read more

While the wines were hit and miss, the cheese board is probably the best I've ever had, and that's from a person from Napa, CA. Cute intimate place. I'll stop by on my next trip into Denver. read more

I don't write many reviews, but we really enjoyed our evening at Flights. I was looking for a nice leisurely evening to unwind from a stressful week at work. Flights was just what the doctor ordered. Situated in cozy little cottage located in scenic downtown Morrison. Although simple, the small plates were all well executed. The toasted artichoke boat (artichoke hearts with oil, feta, and red peppers) was particularly good. I am not a wine expert but the selection was good and our glasses tasty. And the Donna Frida Creamy Limoncello made for a great dessert. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the folk duo completed the ambiance. We will definitely be back. read more

I enjoyed this place so much I went back the next day. The outdoor seating area was lovely and comfortable. The trolley passes right by there (not loud) adding to the quaintness. Both meals were fresh and delicious. The first day I had a wine flight and the second time I just ordered my favorite wine from the day before. We had to move inside when it started pouring rain and it was stuffy in the small building. This is a place to go if you want to be out in the fresh air. On day 2 it didn't rain but there was a chilly breeze and the manager said she had blankets if I found it too cold. I was fine but that was a thoughtful touch. read more

What a shame! This place is secluded and private. It has a fabulous patio with comfortable and well-spaced seating. That's about where the positives end. We walked in early evening (6:15) and were about the fifth table on the patio. The interior was completely empty, but, even so, service was painfully slow. We ran out of wine for about 15 minutes, just after our entrees were dropped on the table. You would think a server would notice and check back. In fact, there were two servers on staff at the time (plus a hostess and food runner), so there's no excuse. I had to go inside to get someone's attention. The table next to us was equally disgruntled. After they were sat by a hostess, they sat for quite a while, only to be told (when they were finally greeted by their server) that the kitchen closes is 5 minutes so if they want food they should order right away (their server then promptly changed the "open" sign to "close", around 645 PM, when she might have been focusing on the other tables on the patio?)... Decent wine selection, but wildly overpriced for what it is. The staff didn't seem very knowledgable on wine, and the glassware was atrocious. Prices run high. The food was decent, but, again, exorbitantly priced. For a meager meat and cheese plate, I don't want to spend 17 dollars when everything is recognizable at the grocery store. I can spoon my own watery artichoke hearts out of a can. I would recommend trying another place before your next concert. I will not return. read more

Left one of the smallest tips I've ever done. Food was good but the service was a joke. I would have left a more reasonable tip if we could of gotten a waiter to pick up our bill. It seemed as if they sort of played zone for the wait staff without having a specific person. Thankfully had enough cash to be able to leave without needing to wait to have a card processed. I chose this place for our anniversary because it was the top rated in Morrison. I'm not sure how that happened and felt compelled to provide a review of our experience. read more

First visit, perfection, fun, great service. We had the extreme pleasure of having the owner's son as our server, and he was beyond expectation. Second visit, brought family - excited to show a cute, remote find. Terrible storm, all the power went out. You can tell a lot about leaders when they are faced with adversity. Sadly, the owners served their friends first, had terrible communication with seating, orders (we could order food, but couldn't, then could, then wait let me check, nope, yes, wait, hold on, did you order something?) Some people came in, waited forever, not a drop of attention given to them, then just gave up and left. This happened 3 times we saw (as we were sipping our wine). Very frazzled. They did finally end up serving everyone a free shot of creamy limoncello (starting with their friends). Seems like you'd try to take care of your new patrons first to encourage their return. Your friends will come back. So first review was a full, fat 5 stars. But second review might have been 2. Had our last experience been our first, we wouldn't return. read more

Love this place. Great wine selection and wonderful appetizers. Very cozy and campy. Great for a date night. Cozy in the winter and great outdoor seating in the summer. read more

Absolutely incredible. If you're looking for a fantastic Wine experience, Flights is the place for you. Slow pace, never rushed and very enjoyable. All three of us ordered a different Flight and Donn was very knowledgeable with all of the wines. Food fit in perfectly with the wine choices. The dessert, I think called the chocolate bomb, was heavenly. I can't wait to return and share the experience with more friends. read more

This place was fantastic! My best friend just got married here yesterday, the staff was absolutely fantastic, the food was great, and it was very reasonably priced! Had a great time, will definitely be coming back!! Thanks for everything! read more

This place is a little hidden gem in Morrison. The outdoor patio is very large and welcoming. The selections were amazing. The wine and cheese were great. I almost hate to rate this place because I would love to keep it a secret. If in or near Morrison stop by and check them out! read more

What a delightful location. The service was wonderful & friendly. Wine & food delightfully delicious. Patio was very relaxing and charming.

This establishment has the advantage of some pleasant ambiance (quaint scenery in Olde' Town Arvada) but it misses. The staff is just not a seasoned restaurant and wine crew. They seem too uncomfortable with a basic level of wine knowledge needed to create an interpersonal decorum of authenticity. This is evidenced by the fact that they saw no issue with serving an expensive wine at room temperature, mind you it was 95 degrees the evening I visited. The wine was poured HOT. I questioned why - and received an answer that suggested that it should not be a concern but it is even to the most novice partaker of good wine. Additionally, an appetizer consisting of 5 shrimp for $15 is taking liberties with good will. read more

Many great wines to choose from and incredibly friendly staff to help you to decide. The atmosphere inside was nice, cannot wait to go back during the summer to sit in the incredible looking outdoor area. The food was amazing! I had the artichoke hearts which were bold and delicious. The Italian pizza was also delicious. My favorite wine was probly the Bordeaux. Nikki was a fantastic server/bartender. She was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. Overall amazing experience and great place for dates or to just hang out. read more

Super shabby chic eclectic setting. The wine flights were fun. We got the warmed Brie and the artichoke boats. Brie was awesome. Artichokes were good. I found them to be a bit pricey, but it was a cute little spot for a date night. You won't fill up on their tiny tapas plates, so have a flight, share the Brie and then head over to another spot for dinner. read more

Now in Olde Town Arvada, lovely quaint and quiet spot just off the main drag there. The wine was excellent, the service was superb and atmosphere subdued and relaxing. I am getting tired of going to dinner in Olde Town and having to scream at my spouse over the loud background noise and/or bands. Not at Flights though. I cannot wait until the weather improves to try out the patio. I actually rate it about 4.5 and only because I felt the price point for my Cuban sandwich was a bit high. Next time I'll explore the menu more and try out the appetizers, boards, etc. read more

Amazing ambiance, food and good wine selection. What a find in Morrison for before a concert at Red Rocks. Definitely a place to stop. read more

Cozy quaint atmosphere that we really enjoyed. Tucked not too far into the mountains for an easy drive. Tried the smoke trout dip, roasted nuts with assorted olives, and the Italian flatbread. Everything was delicious. Not a wine drinker but my wife was very happy with their selection. Although more for snacking than for dinner, we still left full. Definitely coming back! read more

Excellent little wine bar/restaurant below red rocks. Outdoor seating with lots of trees to block the sun. Large selection of wines by the glass (or bottle) and very good food. The happy hour wines are even good. We especially liked the crab artichoke dip, warm brie, and peppers. Good live music. Also one of the best espresso's I've ever had (I'm an espresso snob). read more

We were excited when a second Flights opened in Arvada, but I have to say I wasn't wowed after our first visit. The wine flights aren't cheap - most are $16, which seems really high to me. Maybe I'm naive, but for Arvada this feels like a lot. My single glass was $10 - also pricey I feel. We ordered the antipasto platter, which was fine - 2 cheese, 2 meats, crostini and olives. We ran out of crostini before we'd eaten all the cheese and meat, but our waiter brought out some more (and didn't charge us extra - whew!). My problem was more with the hummus plate we also ordered. The hummus was still frozen in the middle. I didn't even know you could freeze hummus! But apparently you can - or at least Flights does. I was kind of grossed out by that, so we didn't finish it all. Other than being REALLY cold it tasted OK. The paninis sounded good, and so did the coffee menu, so I'd like to go back for those two items, but I will stay away from the hummus and the wine. read more
