    I would say overall this was a pretty good experience at this location. It was a beautiful day so I think it was nice to sit out on the patio and they had the fireplace going which makes the experience even better. We were notified when we got there that there was a big party and there would be a wait which we didn't mind so we waited but in the end it ended up not being as long as they said, which was even better. Our waitress was great and very friendly. She did a great job of managing the tables that were inside and outside. The food was good and fresh and came out rather quickly and everything was good. I would have liked to experience the wine tower like I've seen it another table, but the wine itself was still good. I will definitely visit again.

    Nice atmosphere and decent wine selection, but overall the experience was pretty average. The food was okay not bad, but nothing especially memorable. Service was polite. Prices were decent for the quality and portion sizes. It's a fine place to relax for a drink, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

    We love a Black owned business! I got the strawberry refresher and toasted ravioli. Both were amazing as a starter. The location is quietly placed, it's not overly crowded and our server was so sweet! Would absolutely suggest that you bring your best girlfriends and come enjoy the vibes!

    Perfect afternoon with sweet girls

    After noon lunch on a beautiful street on Main St., Saint Charles. They had a afternoon special for $20 flight. You could try four wines and then your fifth wine could be your glass. It was perfect for trying different wines. We had some artichoke dip and a charcuterie board. You can't go wrong with that at a wine place. It was the perfect board shared amongst friends. Perfect atmosphere and the waitress was fantastic. I wish I could remember her name and I should've written it down. It's a great place to go on a beautiful day to sit outside on Main Street.

    The staff here is always, I mean always welcoming and accommodating. The weather was nice so we asked to sit in the patio, they had heaters and fire pits going and it was lovely. They allowed us to move the tables to get a bit closer to the heaters. We had not realized that we had blocked a pathway to a back table. They said over and over "you're fine". It's a great stop while walking the shops, and also a great destination to meet for a snack and a glass of wine! Go!

    If you enjoy wine and getting together with friends to have real conversations, you'll love this place. The food is delicious. The setting is charming and the mood is a cool vibe. The staff are friendly and eager to help.

    The service was excellent! Greeted immediately, seated quickly and checked on regularly. There's a variety of food choices to choose from and an extensive wine selection. The wine flight is worth the price point since they are full pours vs. tasting pours. There's indoor and outdoor seating so perfect to visit all year round.

    Nice quite cafe in historic St. Charles where you can enjoy amazing wine and amazing food. Love that you can come here to plug-in for work in a space that's has low background music with amazing service.

    Tranita was absolutely amazing. Best service ever. Great place. Also came during a festival and got an AMAZING wine slushie. So glad to support a Black, female-owned business in this area.

    The patio is my favorite. But the inside is cozy as well. They accommodate single people to large parties. This business is one of my favorite businesses to support. The owner is a Wonderful lady, whom runs this business successfully with skill and a sense of community. I feel like I'm family and I think I've been 5x in a year. I adore her daughter who also works here when she can. The food is delicious! And oh the gooey butter cake YUM YUM YUM. I love the you pick two option for lunch. The sandwiches or wraps are unique and delicious. Let's discuss wine! WOW! The wines they choose are delectable to say the least! And the portions on the flights are gracious!! Whether it is grading papers, escaping reality, summer reading or stopping by this is the place to go. (I failed with taking more pictures ) Their season drinks are also amazing!

    Pretzel board

    Hosted my department's Christmas party here, and it was such a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the owner personally greeted us at the door and checked in throughout the afternoon. It's a charming little wine bar with a cozy vibe, and now I'm excited to come back in the spring to enjoy the courtyard.

    We stopped in for lunch and ate outside on the lovely patio. The server was amazing, and the food was pretty good. I had chicken and waffles, which was great, but I should have had a salad to go with so much breading. I will definitely go back for a happy hour (with wine and apps, of course!)

    Stopped into this cute little cafe on a work trip & it did not disappoint. I had the Kumbasha, Sav Blanc and it was 10/10. I didn't have time to try any food but they offer daily specials. Will definitely need to come back and try the food.

    The Philly Wrap.   Potato chips were meh, will prob get the salad side next time.

    Omg ever since we tried it. I have been thinking about going back…read more Honestly this place has just became my Saint Louis top 5 restaurant. First of all, great environment, offer inside and outside seating. The drink selection were amazing, their mojito was so fresh and delicious. For the dishes we ended up with the risotto, the Yukon potato, and the spicy shrimp pasta. Honestly it blew me away. The flavor and taste was right on. For people who likes more bland and simple taste it might feel a little overpowering but for someone who grew up with Asian seasoning and flavor it was like heaven. I will be back many more times because I would like to try everything on the menu and I will be inviting everyone I know to try as well! Service was great, you can tell staff are busy but they are very attentive, parking could be a little tricky but there are many places you could park down the street or just in parking lots behind Main Street and just walk to the place. Highly recommend!!!

    Went here again but this time with the in-laws and D. Ordered an app of spinach artichoke dip which…read morewas really good. The chips were more like slightly toasted pita breads. Adding the dip on top made it more of little pizza bites instead. Table favorite! Rigatoni alla vodka is my favorite pasta and I've had it at multiple establishments including my own kitchen and this one wasn't anything special. I actually couldn't taste the alla vodka part at all. It really just tasted like cheesy pasta with salmon. No real flavor. I guess that's why it's not listed as a crowd favorite. Ambiance is low lit and in the main dinning area, it can get really loud so if anyone is hard of hearing, it's best to get a reservation outside as it was difficult for one in our party. It didn't help that our waitress would step two steps back away from our table and let other waiters and waitresses pass in front of her instead of behind. Street parking is horrendous but my in-laws were able to find a spot right out front. We opted for the parking lots in the back as we don't mind walking a bit. It did rain a bit but we had an umbrella.
