    This is such a great wine bar! My girlfriends and I love to meet up here to catch up, especially on Wednesday nights when they have half off bottles. They have great snack plates too. Highly recommend for the great wine, great service, and cool vibes.

    My friend and I enjoy trying different spots for wine tasting; this location did not disappoint. This is a wonderful addition to the area. The inside was warm and inviting with different styled table and comfy chairs. I hate having to sit on a hard chair, there were different chairs that either had a nice curve and soft material so sitting on them wasn't so bad. We came on a Wednesday during happy hour. We both ordered a $5.00 glass of the house wine, we liked this wine better than the other more expensive versions. I love flights and did not see a flight option so the server allowed me to order three glasses with half pours at half price. The cab sav. was smooth and excellent. There is plenty of parking behind the building. You can park on the street if you want to parallel park in a small, tight spot...I tried this but the darn cop car right behind me was crowding my efforts, Haha. Personally I'd like to see a better food menu as nothing really looked all that unique or tasty.

    Gluten Free Grilled Cheese

    Excellent for Celiac or gluten sensitivity. We had the charcuterie and the grilled cheese with GF bread and crackers. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Extensive wine and cocktail selections to pair nicely with your cheese, meats or small plates. Atmosphere encourages lots of conversation. We will return often!

    We've been to Vino & Vibes a bunch of times now. Each time we are throughly impressed with our drinks, food, and service. This is the perfect place for anyone. It's not just about the vino! They have delicious coffee & tea & mocktails too. Their cocktails are fantastic! They're very knowledgeable about their wine as well. The food is so good! There have been times w stopped in here for an appetizer and never made it to dinner bc we were full from our delicious apps at V & V's. This place is great for appetizers before dinner, for your actual meals and for dessert! We've tried the cheesecake, grilled cheese, lots of different charcuterie, olives, Spanish anchovies, bread & truffle EVOO, and more. The building is beautiful as well! I highly recommend this place. It's such a great part of downtown Utica. Thank you to Deanna & Anna for welcoming us into their business. I brought a couple friends here yesterday and they agree it's an amazing spot. We love it!

    We went there on a Thursday night for our ladies night out. They have specials on Thursday for this kind of event we were planning, that included specialized menu and drinks and also live music. We all enjoyed it thoroughly and also noticed they have other kinds of specials remaining days of the week which also can be very well enjoyed. Even with live music it didn't get too noisy there, and ambience was very relaxing and classy at the same time while we were dressed up, it didn't feel out of place at all. Service was nice as well, and the food menu is also specific with all items and well made.

    Americano with REAL cream. Thank you! Local roaster, Dessert Oasis Coffee. Excellent.

    Overall, wow. What a treasure to find in charming downtown Utica. Parking - free lots and street partking. Service - hospitable, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable; wait at door to be seated; staff clearly enjoy working there... smiles, engaged, dancing along with music. Atmosphere - cool, open space with intimate vibe; loved they did NOT have sports on their TVs, rather the animal channel and the other TV had comedy-drama movies. Comestibles and potables - excellent presentations, delicious, full bar with interesting craft cocktails, drafts, bottles, and wine (of course); sangria had depth and was juicy; HH 3-6 Tu-Th. Loos - clean, stocked, beautiful decor. Entertainment - happens Th and Sa. Overall, excellent time. We love jazz, and we would just come back to hear the pianist from the jazz duo. They were pros. *thumbs up*

    Charcuterie board.

    Back for a 2nd try and every bit as good as the first. Tried a different bottle, mix on the board and relaxed and enjoyed the afternoon. Service was on point and enjoyed the chill music.

    Amazing Craft Cocktails!! Perfect place for a Girls Night Out or Date Night with the hubby. When they do have live entertainment or a dj, I love that the music level isn't too high. You can still enjoy your conversations while enjoying the music. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I can not speak to all the food, but we order the BLK truffle fries. I was REALLY looking forward to them...meh, next time, I'd try a different tasty bite and order another delicious cocktail. I love that they have a Seasonal Sensations menu and am looking forward to trying their new creations in the fall.

    The place definitely lives up to its name with amazing cocktail selection, nice background live music ( on a Thursday) and no nonsense food selection and service.

    3 3oz pours

    Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. The wine list is long but not a lot of information. I would have liked a description for each.

    Very cool and modern place. We had lunch across the street at shamrock and decided to stop by here. It's beautiful inside! Thankfully, no wait for a table at that time, though it picked up a bit after thirty minutes or so. All drinks were decent. The Utica sour was good after I got past the red wine. The port old fashioned was great, though I wish there was some kinda warning that there would be a $12 up charge for selecting a specific bourbon. I was asked, it wasn't something I demanded. I just assumed it was part of the $13 drink. So if you order it, just get whatever house bourbon they might offer. Also, we ordered the truffle fries and we never got them. But definitely a place worth checking out.

    Iris was friendly and welcoming as usual. We love dining at the bar with her. She has an incredible memory and is full of suggestions about new wines. The staff (and owners) here are fantastic. Love supporting this women owned business. The harvest board is THE best. Vegan and easily modified for gluten free folks. This upscale (yet come-as-you-are vibe) is beautifully decorated and easy to love. My favorite part of downtown Utica!

I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that there may have been a Valentine's Day party or holiday rush contributing to the confusion. However, regardless of how busy it was, accuracy in billing is a basic expectation and responsibility. Overall service was fairly good, and the staff seemed attentive. The food was above fair nearly good. That said, billing errors of this nature overshadow the entire experience. I strongly recommend customers review their bill line by line before paying.

    My family has been going to saint 1881 mostly every Sunday for probably close to a year now. We…read morereally enjoyed it, but within the past few months, the service is not as good as it used to be. It seems that every time we've gone in the past few months, that something was missed in our order. My dad has always gotten the same thing, but it's been messed up so many times that he decided to change his order today. For instance we've ordered the breakfast burrito, and the eggs had been forgotten in it like 3 different times. It seems that when we ask for small changes to our order that maybe the cooks are overlooking it. It's kind of frustrating when you start to enjoy a place, and it's not consistent anymore. I'm not sure why it changed. But when you have regular people, that don't have a problem with any staff, start saying things I think it needs to be noticed. I hope what is said is taken as constructive criticism, because I do want this restaurant to do well.

    After trying the Rochester Brunch House (RBH) the day before, my wife noticed Saint 1881 was…read moreserving brunch, so we gave it a try. We thought it looked very similar to RBH, but after talking to our server she explained it was owned by the same owner. Like its sister restaurant it is a restored church with high ceilings and chandeliers, with an elegant yet comfortable feel. It's larger and a little more upscale than RBH with much more outside seating at the front entrance, near the street, and at the side (where we sat). Looks more suited for cocktails and wine, than food forward. The brunch menu is scaled down from RBH, but similar. I ordered the Chicken Omelette (omelette version of the Chicken Scramble at RBH, which I enjoyed the day before). It was noticeably smaller and less flavorful, but still was ok, though priced the same. Be prepared as a cup of coffee is $5. Yikes! We sat outside just after opening and hoping to have a beautiful relaxing breakfast. However, they seemed to have chosen a club like playlist from some pretty loud outdoor speakers, which felt very out of place, Maybe it was purposeful to get people revved up, but still, just felt off. Our server was warm, friendly and said some very kind things about the owner. She even told us how the restaurant got its name. Apparently there was a huge fire which destroyed several churches in the area and in 1881 this church was the first to be rebuilt. Saint 1881 pays homage to their roots. Very nice tribute. Our food took a little longer than expected since we were the only customers at the time, but not overly excessive. Between the beautiful outside seating, friendly service, interesting history, we will be back - maybe for cocktails or a nice glass of wine.

I love the little speak easy bars popping up all over the city, it is a fun way to use the space. During the day, this is a hallway that leads to a barber shop, then turns into a bar during the evening. I loved the dark aesthetic, with the black lace draped tiny lamps at each table and the slightly spooky Halloween vibe. The people working here were incredibly nice and helpful and very eager to serve drinks and make this a fun evening. We came as a pre-dinner cocktail, since I am trying to eat around the city and visit as many establishments as I can. I liked their very themed menu, and their additional Halloween drinks. They had a lot of very creative types of infused liquors to try, ranging from candy infused to meat infused alcohols. But we went for the very standard espresso martini (since we are trying them at as many places as possible) and a very tropical martini. The espresso one was good, not quite at the top of my list, but I am a very big fan of Dessert Oasis, which is right above this bar and I am told shares owners. The tropical one, called For My Fans, was excellent. I would get that one again. This seems like a fun place to go, especially with friends, for quick a drink and to try new flavors.

The establishment creates a nice hybrid space giving the ambiance of a retail store and a tasting experience. We were the only party in attendance for most of the time. Jen, the sole employee at the time, was helpful, attentive and personable. (Note: we arrived around 4 on a Thursday, so we didn't expect it to be busy.) There was a really broad range of available wines of many different varieties. Being from another state, I was impressed to find that Michigan had so many styles to offer, even Cabs and Pinot Noir most often associated with lower latitudes. We went with the flight options giving us 3, 3oz pours for the price of a nice, full glass of wine. At the time, our table really enjoyed the oaked Chardonnay and a Malbec. We took advantage of the $5 coupon that comes with the flight by purchasing a few bottles when we left. Snack options were available. We enjoyed a baguette with some goat cream cheese. Another item was our first choice, but they were out. We also enjoyed the cashews. If you are looking for a full meal, lunch or dinner, you can order in from DoorDash -- the sky is the limit! Overall, enjoyable experience to share with friends and loved one! Overall rating - 3.75. (Note: it's hard for me to go 4 or higher just because this is missing the winery "feel." That has nothing to do with this place, but more my preference.)
