The bar staff has been friendly and chats us up about the beers available (yep, we were there for the craft beers, thank you very much! Other nearby patrons were also friendly and joined in conversations as well. They do have live music on the weekends and as it is a small place the front area where the musicians perform can get pretty crowded. However, sitting at the bar or in the back of the bar you can still have conversations without having to yell, which I definitely appreciate. If you aren't into wine or beer (somehow) there is also a "loophole" menu in which you can order wine-based-alcohol drinks such as mojitos and cosmos. I haven't yet tried those, but I will be doing so on the next visit!

Their creativity is second to none as they use wine as a base to make martinis, margaritas, and shots. The live music is always pleasant. You are able to hold a conversation without having to yell to the person next to you. Even though there is no kitchen here, they offer to go pick up food from 3 different local restaurants, Coaches, Pine Street Tavern, and Motor City. The staff has always been engaging and provide great service. This makes me want to come more often as I always feel welcome. As I said in the beginning, this wasn't my first visit, and it will not be my last.

You must go up to the bar to order. We didn't have to wait too long despite a large party coming in right before us. The drinks were higher of prices than I expected for this location. The spritz was light and refreshing. My husband enjoyed the fall special of blueberry mule. The best part is the decoration! Overall, this was a cute place I'd stop by again for a drink!

Beautiful setting, very casual. We had a party of six for dinner on Friday night at 6:30…read more First of all the blueberry wine (dry) is pretty tasty; a bit of a surprise. We ordered a cheese and fruit plate for the table, wine flights, and full steak dinners. Tom and I split a 12 oz ribeye ($40) and ordered a soup (lobster bisque) and a salad. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare - char broiled perfectly. Served with a baked potato and veggies. We split a blueberry cobbler with ice cream for dessert. Total bill with tip (be aware they add a 20% tip) was $100 for two. We sat outside on the covered patio and it was very pleasant. Great service too - we will definitely return. Recommend!

The wine is made from blueberry's and is delicious. You can buy this wine soon at total wines.read more

Sean, our server, was a knowledgeable delight who guided me through the menu's hidden gems. We had the deviled eggs with caviar and the duck confit bruschetta... both made me giggle they were so good. DO NOT MISS the lobster bisque. It will haunt my dreams forever... I had the surf and turf satay and my companions had the smoked scallops and the lobster parpadelle. All amazing dishes. The satay had ALL the flavors ... great for those with FOMO. The Zongo is a house made creation that was perfect with the Sauternes. Also- the wine list is well curated and reasonably priced. Can't wait for them to open their new location!!

Oh man we really wanted to check this place out due to the reviews. We've been to alot of places…read moreback in tampa and orlando with same vibes so was so excited when something like it opened up here in ocala...but was left disappointed. First, the chef greeted almost everyone but us which was quite disappointing. Second, my order was messed up. I did told them i touched it since i thought it looked like my dish with the scallops yet the waiter still picked it up and serve to another table. Our food also took a long time to come out..water took a long time to get refilled along with the napkins and our wine did not come out until way later. Third, our bill was messed up as well. So definitely be cautious. Also, pro tip is it is cheaper if you pay in cash. We did try new stuff such as kangaroo tartare..definitely was a hit but crab fondue was ok as well as the pastas. You could definitely make them at home. The lobster pasta was too overpowering with garlic and there was barely any duck in the duck and pork pasta. For Ocala, i would say okay if you wanted to give fine dining a try. I just would not be back due to how we were treated, all the mess ups and underwhelming food for what we paid for. I do have to give props to the scallops. It was nicely cooked ( still soft, and could melt in your mouth).

Let me start with this: I do not like wine…read more I've tried for years. I've ordered it at dinners, events, girls' nights... and I've rarely even been able to finish a glass. That's how much I typically dislike the taste. My preference? Sweet and fruity. Think Jolly Rancher candy. The only exception I've ever found was Ice Wine, which is rarely carried in restaurants or wine bars. So when we attended a work event here, I was honestly looking forward to the company more than the drinks. But I decided to be honest with our waitress. I told her I don't like dry wine, I prefer sweet, and asked if she had any recommendations. She introduced me to Sangue Di Giuda (Italy -- fruity, light, medium sweet, low alcohol)... and for the first time ever, I found a wine I genuinely enjoyed. I could actually sip it without making a face. At around $8 a glass, it felt very reasonable. They also offer full bottles for purchase, which I love as an option if you find something you enjoy. Beyond the wine, the atmosphere makes this place special. It's warm, relaxed, and perfect for conversation. It feels elevated without being stuffy -- the kind of place where you can linger and talk without feeling rushed. So this review is for two groups: * Wine lovers looking for a great experience * And the "I don't like wine but I'm here anyway" crowd Be honest about what you like. Let the staff guide you. You might surprise yourself like I did. We'll absolutely be back -- and yes, I'll be ordering the same glass again. Bonus: It's located in a plaza with great dinner options, so you can easily turn it into a full night out. We grabbed Greek food next door afterwards, and there's also Bronx House pizza at the end of the plaza if that's more your vibe (both are delicious!). Makes planning easy.
