The curated wine list is always full of interesting wines that are new and unique. But you can also peruse their eclectic bottle shop and either drink them in house or get them to go. There isn't another place like this in the area. If you're hungry, they have a menu of tapas that pair perfectly with the wine they offer. The owner plays exclusively music from vinyl records. So it's not a random mix of music, but instead you're listening to complete albums in the way the artist intended. The whole vibe is curated. Pro Tip: check out both bathrooms. It's the best spot in the Cape.

Located next to nice guys in downtown Cape Coral when we walk in we were pleasantly surprised to see this dark, sexy wine bar that exuded casual, but coolness at the same time. We picked up a bottle of wine, looked at their food. Menu made a couple of questions to the bartender and really enjoyed our night. The star of the show was the environment itself. How cool and low-key it was, but we also really did enjoy the food. The bartender suggested we try a can of tinned fish, which sounds crazy, but at her suggestion we tried it and it was delicious the perfect amount of food. One thing that did surprises was the court fee of $15. Her bottle that is opened in the restaurant. So please make sure you take that into account. Other than that this place with fabulous.

The inside has dim lighting, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere with an open kitchen perfect for small groups. The staff were fantastic, always helpful and attentive. The menu features a rotating selection of 10 to 12 creative, made-to-order small plates that are great for sharing. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Every dish was delicious, bursting with flavor and amazing! Many of the dishes came with tasty pickled sides. Food: - Hamachi yuzu-pineapple Tiradito. Fresno chili. - Steak tartare. Egg pate. Fancy mustard. Bone-Mayo (my favorite) the combination and every paired meshed very well - Parisian Gnocchi. Maitake Foam. Shitake. Pistou. "Little heavenly pillows" - 2 bite tacos. BGT beef.

Chili crisp. -medium rare chocolate chip cookie

My boyfriend surprised me with a reservation at liberty and it beyond met my expectations…read more The restaurant is small and cozy! Perfect for a date night for dinner with a few friends. The menu changes from time to time and I love that at a restaurant because I like to frequent familiar places but try new dishes. Super cool too because they have an open kitchen where you can watch them cook your dish. Recently noticed by Michelin and totally makes sense! The servers were so nice and explained then menu. Some items we got were the pasta, duck, tacos, and the cookies. We got more but it was so good and I was so excited I forgot to snap any pics! Fear not I will be back to order way more and document it next time! Deff make a reservation if you can!

They renewed their wine club membership with Kristen. Kristen explained the wine club, daily specials, certain meal prep items - she was sweet, patient, gracious and kind; attentive but not intrusive. Perfect. We had a great dinner, lovely bottle of wine, talked to other patrons and staff and bought wine goodies from the front purveyor section. Of course the food was delicious, pistachio crusted grouper, chicken piccata, mushroom and tomato risotto, petit sirah, other adult beverages and a nice round loaf of bread. We sat in a comfortable booth, with gentle lighting. Although there was a good crowd, it was not loud or noisy. We will be back to enjoy more delectable meals.

They run around and do a good job. I chose Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed. I was torn about what to eat. One of the servers, Jason, recommended the octopus and the meatballs- so I said ok! The meatballs came out first. They were tender and had a nice lamb flavor. I liked the hummus a lot. The pita was cold and stiff, but I ate it. The octopus came out hot. It had a nice citrusy sauce. It was cooked perfectly. Apparently they poach it, I asked. I always want to make something like this but I have yet to actually do it. Jason did bring a basket of crusty bread for the sauce on the octptus but I ate a few pita triangles so I skipped the bread. After my wine and tapas, I closed my tab. I easily found the restroom near the stage. I had walked over, but they do have a small parking lot of front and there's another one across the street. They have an event on the last Tuesday of each month. They close the store for it. Call ahead to make a reservation. I just missed the Wagyu wine pairing this week. Oops. They have music most nights. You can check their website for the event calendar.

(kinda on the smaller side) i did end up getting a second one ($15 each). For apps we got the tuna cervichi and flatbread. (I do not eat raw tuna, so I have no option on that dish. But the rest of the table ate it up) The flat bread was great too. It had black olives, figs, tomatoes and lots of cheese. For dinner we each ordered something different. I got the crab cake stuffed Salmon with seasoned spinach and mashed topped with, what i think the waitress said was lobster sauce.. altho my friend that got the seafood risotto was supposed to have the same sauce on top but hers was a much more red color. The risotto was another great dish. It had scallops, big shrimps and muscles in it. Cooked perfectly. My friend had the Sicilian Penne. He said: It was a delicious pasta dish with sausage and cannellini beans. The Gorgonzola cheese was an amazing addition that really took the dish to the next level. Our server Sydney was great. She let us know they were short staffed some wait ataff and she may have been backed up (there was probably 6 tables in there at the time idk.. where I waitress i have a 12 table station, and its fast paced..) but she still a great job. The restaurant its self love nice after the renovations, but inqoukdnhave never known it was a finer dining place rather then a typical breakfast diner from the outside of it. Ill be back! There were other things on the menu I'd like to try. (Please, dont mind the photos, we were all just so excited to dig in i didn't remember to take pics till we were 1/4 of the way into eating)
