    Fun Disco Domingo
    Aileen R.

    Had a great time celebrating their anniversary with friends at River House Wine & Bar. The food was delicious with something for everyone, the service was friendly and attentive without being over the top, and the ambiance felt warm and inviting--perfect for a special night out. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for good vibes and a relaxed, enjoyable evening.

    What a FUN place. Loved the old mini homes built around the dance floor. Went for disco Domingo. Great drinks and music. Pizza and tacos were delicious

    Unfortunately, our visit was extremely disappointing. We arrived at the restaurant during the rain. Even though the restaurant was almost empty and there were plenty of available tables, we had to wait a long time before being seated. Only after I went back to the hostess and asked again were we finally given a table. We were seated on cold metal chairs. Because of the rainy weather, they were very uncomfortable to sit on, so I politely asked for just one seat cushion. First, I asked our waiter, William, who told me that all the cushions were wet. Then I asked our waitress, Justina, but she also refused. We were then told that the light-colored cushions under the covered area were reserved. I walked over and checked those cushions myself--they were completely dry. Despite that, we were still refused. The most surprising part happened just two minutes later. We were so shocked that I even took a photo. The same waiter, William, who had just told us there were no available cushions, came out from inside the restaurant carrying green cushions and started placing them on the neighboring tables. Naturally, we asked Justina why we had not been offered even one cushion from the beginning. Instead of apologizing or explaining the situation, she reluctantly took one cushion with a clearly annoyed attitude and brought it to us. Honestly, it is difficult to understand why such a simple request had to become an issue. It could have been resolved in seconds, but instead we were repeatedly told "no," only for the staff to do exactly what we had asked for just moments later. The situation became even stranger afterward. I politely asked Justina several times for her name, but instead of simply introducing herself, she walked away and stood behind the manager. I then approached the manager and explained that, as a customer, I have the right to know the name of the person serving me. Instead of answering my simple question, he repeatedly said, "I'm the manager. How can I help you?" I calmly explained several times that I wasn't asking for anything else--I simply wanted to know the waitress's name. He ignored my question completely and kept repeating the exact same sentence over and over again, while Justina stood behind him without saying a word. It was one of the strangest customer service experiences we have ever had. A simple question that should have taken two seconds to answer turned into an unnecessary and uncomfortable confrontation. Unfortunately, the service showed a complete lack of professionalism, hospitality, and customer care. A simple request was turned into an unnecessary problem, and basic questions were ignored. Service is what guests remember most, and unfortunately, this experience left us with a very negative impression. We will not be returning.

    River House Wine & Bar was such a lovely spot for a date night. My boyfriend & I went around sunset and grabbed a cozy table outside. We ordered pizza which was delicious and paired perfectly with their wine selection that was both affordable and really good quality. We love playing monopoly deal & uno on our dates so it was the perfect chill setting for that. The DJ starts later in the evening which worked out great since we wanted to talk and hang out. There was even this sweet older couple next to us who saw us playing cards & ended up bringing out their own deck so we were all just playing separately but laughing and vibing together. It was such a fun and wholesome night. We definitely recommend this place!

    Great setting with different seating areas and bars outside. No seating area inside with AC. Fans are not enough on a hot day/night in Miami to keep you cool. For a 'wine bar' it was very disappointing as you only had 2 wines offered as an option per glass and none on the Happy Hour. You could only order them by the bottle. All drinks and on the HH offered, come pre mixed and are super sweet. Very limited food selection and although I didn't try the meats, the cheeses I did had no taste. For the price it was disappointing to be served the food on paper plates

    We need more spots like this in Miami. Cool and eclectic wine bar. When you walk in there is a fridge with a variety of wines to choose from. There are also meats and cheeses to build your own charcuterie board. There is a full bar and brick oven for pizza in the patio. The service was a little slow, but otherwise great.

    Loved this place! The vibes are top tier. Loved the music and the atmosphere. The charcuterie and pizza were soooo good. And loved the wine options. Service was a bit slow but didn't take away from the fun!

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.

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.

One thing I love about Magie is they are always going to uplift folks in the community - be it with space for local businesses who don't have brick and mortars to pop-up and sell food, or by creating a space for locals to hang and get work done and not be bored in their houses. I can definitely see myself at Cafe Magie on Fridays this summer. Service is always so friendly here, and the space is so cozy it's perfect to get work done, and then once the clock strikes wine-o-clock you can enjoy wine while you work, too!

I ordered a charcuterie tray for the three of us; it's not premade. You pick the ingredients and then they are charged à la carte. For the one we enjoyed with Brie, prosciutto and jam. It came up to about $40. We enjoyed a bottle of chardonnay - nicely cool and crisp - while chatting and enjoying the game. I think they just have bottles, not wine by the glass. I'd certainly recommend Magie for a casual date night, or nightcap after dinner elsewhere. The patio with string lights and all does seem cute for a quiet evening.

With the big tree, lights hanging, it was a whole vine...ha ha get it. It was a Tuesday evening and they had $35 bottomless. Good decision. We decided to save the bottomless for the following week and decided on a refreshing Rosé, made our own charcuterie board, and went with the ph so popular cesar fries....get this and you're welcome it advance. As we eaited the music played everything from old school hip hop, R& B, to classic French tunes, it was wonderful. The selection of wines was actually surprising and ask all the questions you want, they know what their selling here. When deciding on the charcuterie upgrade to make sure you get the extras, trust me so worth it. It was such a wonderful adulting time. So glad a place like this exists closer. Its all fabulous here.

We came in and immediately someone came over and was eager to walk us through the process and made a handful of recommendations especially when it came to the wine. The gentleman whose name I didn't get unfortunately, was extremely kind and helpful, the service here was amazing and we ended up loving the wine he recommended us. The food was also great we ordered the Caesar Fries, the Magie Plate which came with the bread, strawberry spread and some olives and pickles for the meats, we also got the Hot Dog and everything we had was really good. The ambiance is very nice it's a cozy little hole in the wall that you would definitely miss driving by it. Outside patio area had a lot of seating and as well as couches. Everything was great and I am now hooked on a wine thanks to the recommendation by the team here!
