My friend and I had the opportunity to dine at Mutiny in the Heights on their final night. We were able to snag a last minute reservation on the patio. When my friend made the reservation, she received an email encouraging customers to visit the tasting room before or after dinner. We showed up an hour early to visit the tasting room, however the host had no idea what we were talking about. Turns out they weren't doing tastings. Luckily, we didn't have to wait to be seated. We initially had a table that was not near a heat lamp, however an employee came over and let us know that we could switch to a table near the heat lamp which was appreciated because it was chilly. Our server was Laura. She was nice and funny. They had $25 flight specials. I went with the Sayanara Flight which had white wines. I really enjoyed them and they weren't too sweet. My friend had an NA wine which she enjoyed. We ordered the Truffle Fries and Meatballs. Both dishes were tasty. I enjoyed the aioli that came with the fries. They had discounted wines for purchase. Not all bottles were 50% off, however the gentleman that we spoke to went ahead and gave me a 50% discount on both the rosé and pinot grigio that I purchased which was so appreciated! It seems like there are quite a few businesses around town that are closing. I'm sad to see Mutiny go, but I'm glad my friend and I got to dine in on their final night. read more

"Closing time, you don't have to go home But you can't stay here." - Semisonic I have lived in the loop for 5 years now, and I'm sad to say that I finally tried Mutiny on their last day. I often pass by it going through a shortcut to I-45 and sometimes going home around the area. It's literally a 5-minute drive. I booked reservations Friday since I saw they opened up the 31st on Resy. It wasn't earlier in the week, but I knew it was the last day, and my friend and I really wanted to try. I'm glad we made reservations because they were at capacity (150 person capacity) and weren't taking any walk ins. We got there early cause Resy suggested checking out the Tasting Room before or after the reservation time. We got there about an hour earlier, and the host said he didn't know anything about that except that the Tasting Room area was used for events. Interesting. We were seated earlier on the patio on this freezing evening. At first, we were at a table that didn't have a heat lamp, but when one freed up, they were so nice to suggest that we move closer to the heat lamp since they saw us shivering. Lol. We were thankful for that. I wore fleece lined jeans and brought gloves and a beanie anyway having been in the below freezing winter in London. Laura was our server and was kind and funny. So was this other guy who checked in every now and then. He made light of their last day situation. The dining area is so beautiful inside. I love the limestone-looking interior and chandeliers. Reminds me of Fredericksburg or something. They had many large groups and a few small groups of friends or couples dining on this last day. Way to go out with a bang. A lot of the wines were selling out or already sold out around 7-8 pm. We tried the truffle fries and Sicilian meatballs with focaccia bread. I like the thick cut of the fries and the black garlic aioli. It reminded me of yuca fries. The Sicilian meatballs were a bit small, peppery and salty. I wish the marinara was a little more tart. The focaccia helped cut through the saltiness. I had 2 glasses of the NA Sauvignon blanc which was light and a little tart. They ran out of the NA red blend. My friend ordered Sayonara, one of their farewell flights which were aptly named for "goodbye". It was a great night on the patio but chilly. My friend purchased a rosé and a Pinot Grigio as part of their Last Sail wines. Actually, the Pinot Grigio wasn't part of the sale, and he was going to take off 20%, but he also made it 50% off. So nice!! I'm glad we got to try them on their last day. Bon voyage, Mutiny. read more

Met up with some girlfriends to try the updated Mutiny dining. We loved it. Steak night here was very good, and we paired that with a wine flight- amazing! Parking was easy in the back lot and side street. Service was attentive and friendly. Now we can't wait to come back and try more things from the new menu. read more

I used to live down the street from Mutiny so I was super excited to finally get the chance to experience it. The building and interior decor is really beautiful (it also looks beautiful at night when you drive by). Our server Trevor was super kind and energetic which I really appreciated throughout our experience. We ordered the Rose Flight and it was really gracious pours of each of the 3 flavors. We also ordered the green Thai curry mussels, meatballs and the pepperoni pizza. We also ended up ordering 2 glasses of the only rose that wasn't included in the flight just to try. The food came out quickly, the wines also came out quickly and the service was amazing. It was quite loud inside due to several events going on but it didn't detract from the experience at all. Overall, I'd highly recommend for an event, date night or solo dinner. I had a great experience (special thanks to Trevor) and I'd definitely return! read more

Nice wine bar with knowledgeable sommelier and good snacky food selections. I think we ended up with snapper ceivche, a couple blue fin tartars, some truffle fries and i ended up killing a bottle of a nice Margaux one glass at a time (happy hour prices). My wife had a glass or two of Karan Chardonnay. Very good We went pretty early on a Thursday, like 5pm. I think they had just opened so it was pretty empty which was nice. read more

The ambiance takes to a place far from downtown Houston. The aesthetics give chic and upscale. The service was 10 out of 10 from my arrival to my departure. They offer free valet because parking is limited. I found this gem while looking for a place to work, grab a bite and have a glass of wine while waiting in my daughter to finish an appointment. I was able to sit at the bar, connect my laptop to WiFi and work away. Dallas, the bar tender was friendly and knowledgeable. He respected my space while I worked but made sure I didn't feel overlooked. I had a glass of Chenin Blanc suggested by Dallas (I can't drink red wine) and enjoyed a burger with fries. Tasty! Tasty! Tasty! The whole experience was great and I will definitely be back to just enjoy. This restaurant is great for a date night, me-time and after work enjoyment with a friend. There is outdoor seating and it has a private room for dining that was open seating when I visited. However it can be reserved. I highly recommend!! read more

Parking is crazy but Valet is free (please tip). Restaurant is super cute. I like that they have an outside patio. It's a little warm for me to sit out there right now and there were people letting there unruly kids run around so....I really don't care for the plastic chairs, especially after sitting for two hours but it is what it is. The food however, was delicious. We decided to share a bottle of wine and order off of the restaurant week menu since it was our first time here and I'm glad we did. Everything we had was very good. Several of the staff members checked on us throughout the meal, including both managers on duty. We will definitely be back. read more

Empty and tired feeling on a Sunday evening, valet available but street parking was a block down. Cold evening and patio was empty and we sat outside but no one offered to turn any of the heaters on. Pluses 1) short rib 2) crème brûlée 3) waitress was nice Areas to improve 1) wine flights are still pricey and the cab flight was $40 and just okay, not very medium bodied and forgettable wines. I had forgotten that I was less impressed the first time. For a wine bar, I was disappointed when one of our glasses was full of cork see pic. 2) cheese board was just okay 3) hot tea only had 3 flavors and it was the standard Bigelow tea you can find anywhere 4) bland lamb Pricey meal and beautiful space but I felt unfulfilled. read more

I was really impressed with this restaurant, did not feel like I was in Houston, or in the Heights. I went on a good weather day, beautiful sunshine from all the windows and the food was great! I wanted to get the seafood charcuterie board, but it was too much food, and I was with a group, and no one to split with. I got meatball appetizer and thai oysters on the halfshell. Delicious, beautiful presentation. Will return. read more

My sister, niece and friends came here for Spanish Palella. We had reservations for dinner and were immediately welcomed and sat us at our table of 5. They had a live singer with a guitar and people sat outside enjoying the weather and ambiance. Staff would stop by and chat with the table about wine pairings and specialty drinks. The chef cooked the beautiful Palella outdoors and the smell was heavenly and it was really a treat to watch. Incredible service start to finish! Can't wait to come back. read more

Sad to see this place close . Easy 5 star gem -- I've been a few times and each time was amazing .

All of the food was amazing but the lamb shoulder A1. It had a smooth cut like butter, and it was tender with lots of flavor. As amazing as the lamb shoulder was, the sweet biscuit with strawberry ice cream was the best part of the entire meal. The biscuits was sweet and almost salty and paired very well with the ice cream. The bartender was great, he helped me select the perfect flight of wine for my liking and he was accommodating to the risotto that was a little undercooked. Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Environment 5/5 10 out of 10 I recommend! read more

Mutiny in the Heights - Charcuterie board - Wine Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I expected tasteful, pleasant, timely experience - this was not that. In fact, if you want any of those things then I suggest you check out other wine bars. We were guided to our "table "on the patio. It was a very tall coffee table, with a taller bench, and then two ridiculously short chairs. Whoever chose the furniture didn't consider their patrons comfortability. Later on in the evening we observed several patrons having a difficult time bending down from the bench to pick up their plates of food and seat the plate on their lap to eat. After making a request we moved to one of the proper dining tables on the patio. All four of us ordered from the HRW menu for their $39 options. We placed an order for our full course at one time. The waiter told us "the appetizers are usually ready very quickly " - I wish that was the case. We waited so long for our appetizers that the managers came out and apologized to us. The second manager asked what we would like in compensation for waiting about 30 minutes for appetizers with no communication, we told him "whatever you would like to bring us we are happy to receive." Eventually they came with our appetizers, they were OK. A friend and I ordered a bottle of wine but only she and I split it. The entrées were all lackluster. I expected this to be a flavorful and curated dining experience but it just seems like they took cuts of meat, roasted them in plain butter, and put them on a plate. Two of us got the steak, one got the pasta, and another got the fish - none of us liked our food. The entrées were flavorless, but albeit they did not taste putrid. I steered away from a portion of my dish because the jus from my steak make contact with our waiters hand, and he seemed nice but I didn't want to consume that... All of us found the desserts to be unpleasant . The chocolate cake was dry but somehow accompanied with a mousse. The crème brûlée was very liquidy on the inside and the entire top was not caramelized, only the center portion. My buttermilk pie was extremely fluffy and squishy unlike a custard and more similar in feel to a hydrogenated whipped cream . The pie was paired with a sorbet which was an interesting and unpleasant flavor combination. My sorbet was partially melted by the time I got it. After finishing our desserts we had to wait roughly 20 minutes to get the check. It was at this point that we realized not only did the manager not bring anything out to compensate for us waiting so long for our appetizers, but there was not a discount on our bill either. After sending the check back and asking to speak to the manager he did give us a $12 discount on the bottle of wine, the bottle of wine that half the table didn't even touch. He claimed that he originally had planned to send out some hush puppies until he "realized that they were out of them". This interaction struck a nerve, because hush puppies are not even on their menu right now and he acknowledged they are serving a very condensed menu, the same condensed menu that they have been serving for the last 20 days - so how did he not know that they weren't making any hush puppies? I'll never know. Even if the kitchen had no hush puppies, his lack of communication felt like a signal of the overall team's lack of intentionality to curate a dining experience worth the $260. The best items that were brought out to our table were the bottle of wine in the charcuterie board, which makes sense because Mutiny didn't have to make those... When we gave the manager feedback, he assured us that the desserts were made fresh daily by chefs who come in earlier in the day. They should probably just stick to buying their desserts from a restaurant supply. We were told that hopefully our next dining experience could be more pleasant - I think it's safe we are not going back to Mutiny. Their staff had such a hard time managing a condensed menu and still providing a pleasant dining experience. 3 hours of our lives and $40 a person wasted on flavorless food. read more

A gem! I thought it would be like postino or tasting room. It's bright, spacious, elegant and has a pretty patio area too. Service was exceptional. Everyone including the chef went above and beyond. Best I've had in a very long time. The Prosecco bottle was delicious. And don't miss the harvest platter! Divine for veggies but non-veggie girls loved it too. Friends loved their paella and they could literally watch it being made. Menu is very sophisticated and diverse. It goes way beyond meats and cheeses. The desserts are excellent and I don't even like sweets! I don't usually care for crème brûlée but it was divine. Maybe I've come around! Also, not a lot if parking but I was able to find some on a Sunday afternoon. They have valet too. read more

I came here last night for girls dinner and can't stop raving about this place. I have been intimidated by this place because I know nothing about wine, but the atmosphere and staff were very warm and welcoming right from the minute I walked in. We tried the HRW menu selections. The food was impressive with garden fresh vegetables complimenting each meat dishe. The wine flights were delicious yet unpretentious. The server got part of our order wrong, but the whole team stepped in to correct it without us having to fuss about it. They even gave us an extra dessert and comped some of the meal mixup. Recovery was exceptional. This is such a gem in our neighborhood. Will come back for sure. read more

Been wanting to visit this winery for sometime. Finally did! It was about 10 minutes away from me from the Heights. There is a parking lot but pretty small to accommodate a lot. However, there is street parking adjacent to the place and the spots are separated by orange cones. The place itself deliciously smells wine all over. The ambiance is classy and sophisticated and perfect for business meetings, dates, or tete a tete. They have a cast selection of wines and little bites which was decadently prepared and was tasty!!! The wines were good and I got a rose to pair with.. the hot houston weather. Service is phenomenal and the servers carry with them a vast knowledge of what they carry and what food to pair it with. Theres also a huge restroom inside! Really will go back to this place! Loved my first experience here! read more

Came here to safely get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather on their patio. This establishment has lots of outdoor and opening seating. I had a glass of Anarchist Rosé and it was delicious. I also ordered a small charcuterie board that included goat cheese, chorizo, almonds, olives, and fruit. That was pretty tasty too. My critiques are, the service was not very welcoming or warm. I was the only patron there and honestly felt like I wasn't welcomed. For this reason, I likely won't return. Beautiful location, great wine list, but was cold and unwelcoming. read more

I arrived at this location for my birthday and it was everything I could imagine. The restaurant is dainty. It gives off so much aesthetic it's honestly a place to fall in love with soon as you arrive. I love how the valet is complementary and the valet driver is super sweet. My waiter was Jody who did a phenomenal job. Honestly he explained each wine with detail until we couldn't do anything but drink more wine lol. Everything was amazing. The food OH EM GEE literally was the bomb.com. Ive never been to a restaurant where everything flowed smoothly. From the arrival to departure details were attended to and you rarely find that. So if you are reading this review tell Jody I sent you! His service is amazing and the atmosphere of the restaurant is astronomical. read more

Went here for a work happy hour. Ordered a cab from the happy hour menu and it was disgusting! I am never one to turn down any brand of wine but it was so gross. I sent it back, it was so bad. I warned my coworker not to get it but he said he didn't care about wine. Well, when he got it he had to tell the manager it may have been a bad batch, that's how bad it was. The manager pulled me aside and tried to help me figure out what kind of wine I would like to replace it which was nice. But, she got after my coworker so that was odd. We both complained of the same thing and were both treated very differently. The staff is knowledgeable with their products but I was not a fan of how my coworker was treated and the first wine was disgusting. read more

Warning: be prepared to spend a pretty penny. Is it worth every penny? I strongly believe so. I've seen the negative reviews on here, but I've never experienced bad service let alone bad wine. Our server had great suggestions when it came to appetizers and wine. She suggested a wine we've never heard of and now it's found a lovely home in our wine cellar. What is this amazing wine? Wait for it...wait for it... it's the Kagan Pinot Noir. I love the black cherry flavor and for $70 a bottle it's a steal. It's perfect for drinking outside on one of their two patios or even inside.

Mutiny Wine Bar is a relatively new wine bar in The Heights. My co-worker recommended it so I was excited to check it out. I stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner. While they do have valet, I found street parking close by. Mutiny is in a residential neighborhood. What first stood out to me is the ambiance. The interior is sophisticated and exudes elegance. The patio is similarly impressive. We ended up sitting outside as the weather was perfect. Given the ambiance, Mutiny is a great date spot. Another thing that stood out to me was the service. Attentive, friendly, and hospitable---it was the best service I've experienced in quite a while. I had two glasses of wine and the scallops. The presentation here is as elegant as the decor and the food tasted just as good as it looks. It's not cheap though so you are paying for the quality. If you're looking for a classy dinner or a place with a great wine list, you can't go wrong with Mutiny Wine Room. read more

Rewriting my review since Yelp decided to remove it. No longer are we allowed to share experiences or opinions of restaurants having to deal with "covid" because of the political statement surrounding it. Mutiny staff were rude and disrespectful to our entire party. We attended for a girlfriends birthday and they gave us fees associated with bringing an outside cake that was never communicated to us. They never explained charges and the waitress had a horrible attitude to our entire group. I'm truly shocked at the positivity surrounding this place knowing the experience we suffered through. Won't be back. Hopefully Yelp keeps this one up read more

Kagan Cellars "k3" Cabernet Sauvignon Release Party! . Great evening and event. This winery is a little oasis in the bustling city, it's located right off I-10 and Studemont . I've visited several times and every time the wine and service is on point. The wine tastings are reasonably priced and the pours are generous. This evening's visit I attended the release party for Kagan Cellars K3 Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a steal of a desk, $25 for a glass of K3 Cabernet Sauvignon, and a nice buffet of appetizers. Appetizers included empanadas, variety of fruit, cheeses and meat, as well as truffles. The dark truffles paired with the wine was delightful. The wine was very smooth, no bite or after taste. The crowd was nice, I look forward to attending more tastings. read more

Last week Mutiny Wine Room was celebrating its one-year anniversary by offering a complimentary wine flight. The event required you to make reservations which you could do by calling or going to the resy site to reserve online. I called on the phone and the person I spoke to was extremely professional and nice. I met a friend and fellow elite Yelper. It was the first time we visited Mutiny Wine Room. While it is a wine country-inspired tasting room, it does have nautical decoration. The style and the ambiance are very classy and refreshing. Mutiny's sommelier Ben Harris was a delight. He introduced himself when we came to the tasting room, he educated us about the establishment since it was our first visit, and provided information about our wine options for the evening. I went with the wine theme, "Around the World with Pinot". The variation of flavors from light to bold was tantalizing. I look forward to coming back again. If you are someone who wants to learn more about wine, you are a wine lover, or have an occasion to celebrate....this is a great place to check out. Happy Anniversary Mutiny! Thank you for the excellent wine tasting experience. read more
