I visited Waters Edge with my family this past weekend before we went to a movie at the Drafthouse (just across the parking lot), and we had a good time! Waters Edge is a winery and a bistro - so you can come for drinks or a meal or both. We were told that they make all of the wines on their menu, of which there are dozens of wines on their menu. I've been to a few urban wineries before, and it's an interesting concept. Waters Edge buys grape must (crushed grapes) from around the world and then craft and bottle wines made from that must at their locations (this Dallas location is one of 15 across the country). Wanting to try a few of their wines, the four of us shared two flights of five wines each. We tried the Tour of Armenia and Alec's Flight (a rotating selection of wines by their winemaker). Did I like every wine? No. But I thought most of them were pretty good. Personally, I'm not sure they need to make this many wines; I'll always prefer a business that does ten things well than fifty things fine (the Cheesecake Factory rule). But most of the wines were pretty nice (of the 10 I tried, I wouldn't drink 3 or 4 but wouldn't mind drinking the rest again). I appreciated that many of their wines are Armenian style, because I haven't had much opportunity to try Armenian wines. We also ordered a few snacks - they have a full food menu. We shared their Deviled Egg of the Month (2 eggs - 4 halves) and their Cheese is Life Board (two cheeses, hot honey, giardiniera, and crispy flatbread), which were both good snacks. They've been open just under a year, but the place doesn't feel quite lived in yet. The dining room has a large room divider in it, set up like a bookshelf. It has books and card/trivia games about wine and more. But many of these items were still wrapped in plastic, making it feel a little impersonal. The service was good, and it's a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours! The food we had was pretty good. The wines in my opinion are just okay - probably not the spot to take a wine snob on a date. But they have a large variety of wines, so you're likely to find one or many that you like. Not a bad place to spend some time if you're in the neighborhood! read more

My wife and I stopped in for a drink recently and had a great time. The place is spacious with several seating areas (tables, couches, and bar). We sat in the area with couches and each had a glass of wine. I enjoyed my Temecula Valley Malbec and my wife enjoyed her German Gewurztraminer wine. The staff were friendly and informative. We will definitely be back. read more

Waters Edge Winery & Bistro is an amazing choice if your in the mood for wine flights. The wine flights are reasonably priced and the pours are better than average. My bestie and I came and had an amazing time. They have happy hour Tuesday - Thursday and Sundays until 6 pm. They also have a Chef's Happy Hour Special that consists of 5 pours and 5 bites for $35 for one person or $60 for two. The bites consist of stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, toasted ravioli, and parma frites with mini fondue. On Wednesdays they have "Wine Down Wednesdays" and offer 25% off glasses of wine and bottles. I highly recommend Waters Edge Winery & Bistro. read more

I came here on a random Friday and by Sunday I became a member. The staff that I've had interactions with are great. Quincy, Sean, Preston and Katy have been so kind and friendly. I believe Preston is a sommelier and that is great to have at a winery. I can't wait to watch this place grow in the community and I'm excited to explore all the wines that they have to offer. They even have different events throughout the week on top of happy hour like trivia, bingo, or mahjong. If you're looking to get into wine, network, and be in a welcoming atmosphere - this is the place! read more

I can't say enough great things about Waters Edge Winery & Bistro! From the moment you walk in, there's an elegant yet relaxed vibe that instantly makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're here for a full dinner, a wine tasting, or just unwinding at the bar, you're in for a treat. Their wine selection is top notch! Crafted in-house from globally sourced grapes, and every glass I've had so far has been delicious. The food? Absolutely exquisite. From small plates to full entrées, the kitchen clearly takes pride in quality and presentation. And they've recently added a few draft beers to the menu, which is a great touch if you're with friends who aren't wine lovers. One of the best parts? I've brought my laptop and gotten work done here at the bar. The WiFi is strong, the music is mellow enough to focus, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. blob:https://www.yelp.com/b404b066-6c4b-49be-85c9-a7157e18e610 Whether you're planning a date night, catching up with friends, or looking for a peaceful spot to work with a glass of red, this place checks every box. Can't wait to come back again and again. read more

What a great addition to the neighborhood. We come every week to enjoy the music trivia.

We feel blessed to feel like a part of some place special every time we go. read more

Review long overdue but we have been a few times and enjoyed each visit. Lots of great events happening weekly and you just can't beat the live music, ambiance, and of course the wine!! Service has always been attentive and fantastic and everyone genuinely seems to love working there. Looking forward to more date nights at this neighborhood spot. Plenty of gluten free options and the food selection is wonderful paired with the wine. We will be back! read more

The food, the service and ambience is wonderful, but especially the food and the service. if you're looking for an education and wines that pair well with foods absolutely go there and become part of their wine club. It's right at the intersection of Abrams and Skillman across the street from target in that shopping center near the movie theater unfortunately I don't think a lot of people know that it's there, but it is super super good. read more

Super cute winery/restaurant with lots of different wines, beers, etc. Excellent food by Chef Jace! Plenty of gluten free options, highly recommend the stuffed mushrooms and the Ahi Tuna!! Delicious!! read more

Wishing great things for Waters Edge. I live in the neighborhood so I stopped in with family this past Friday night. What a treat. Andy greeted us and gave some great info about the concept and was very engaging! We had a great experience for the rest of the night with Fernando, our server. He was very attentive and also a joy to talk with. We even met chef Jace who came by the table to check on us personally and share some more info about the food. The food was wonderful! A great time for a few snacks and a wine flight or sharing plates for dinner. Everyone seemed to be enjoy themselves including the staff! We will be back! Special thanks to Andy, Fernando, and Jace! See you soon! read more

This new restaurant in the Lake Highlands area, is absolutely lovely. We went for brunch on a Sunday, they have a two entrées and a bottle of Prosecco brunch special for $44. Who could beat that!

We went last week one night and then went again on Sunday. Support local business and this new gem!! Will be going weekly! Highly recommend! read more

This place has a lot of potential but I have to write an honest review. The ambiance is great - obviously a lot of attention to detail and decor. And the food was really good - the flatbreads and handhelds were excellent. However, a group of 5 of us were there for lunch and despite being the only ones in the restaurant the food took a very long time to come out, it wasn't all brought at once, and the last to come out (not exaggerating, at least 20 minutes after everyone else) was wrong. To be fair, they did comp our whole meal but by that point we were about to walk out. They were very nice and apologized profusely but it was just painful. read more

Overall awesome experience! great decor and attentive service. The food and wine combos were informed and noteworthy! I will return!

First trip of many to this sweet little Lake Highland's find! Water's Edge is delightful! We enjoyed sharing the dip trio and a flatbread with pepperoni. It was delicious and the service was so good. Fernando did a great job of taking care of us. We even get a chance to talk to the owner. Looks like we'll be coming back to this little find in Lake Highlands.! read more

First time here and I have to say, awesome!!! Great vibe with the live music (which was fabulous) and the kind servers. Everyone seemed to be having fun and the food was excellent! This place is new and I truly hope it sticks around. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend trying it out. Of course. The wine was amazing too. Go see for yourself! read more

Really nice fancy decor, all new. Upscale but approachable bites, with good pricing. Anna at the bar knows the wines and super friendly. They support small winery's, we had a flight of five to get to know the flavors. Support the locals. read more

So happy to discover Waters Edge. Great food, good wine selection, elegant design and nice vibe where the music is good but doesn't make conversation difficult. Monthly deviled egg specials! Brussels sprouts and mushroom appetizers are delicious. Definitely recommend this nice addition for the Lake Highlands restaurant options! read more

So excited for a wine & bistro in LH! Food is amazing, stuffed mushrooms are the chef's "babies" and are amazing! They didn't have the regular champagne for the mimosa's, so they upgraded the bottle we got at $0 charge. This one is worth the try! read more

We went to try a glass of wine at Waters Edge Winery and Bistro last night. Don't let the outside facade fool you, the inside has been transformed into a warm, welcoming, and wonderful tranquility. So, we decided to have two flights of wine, and some food!! Our young daughter ordered some flat bread, with all kinds of toppings, much like a pizza. It was incredible. I had the Tuna, which was so tender, and melt in your mouth. My wife had the pork, which was also very tender and tasty. We had an excellent waitress that took care of our every need, with a smile and kind words. Wait, there's more! A wonderment of the ambiance was a two piece band that played soft, and memorable music for our pleasure and enjoyment. We plan to return again tonight! More details to follow! Cheers to us, and Waters Edge Winery and Bistro! read more

shout out to Waters Edge! everyone in LH and beyond should check out this place. it's warm, inviting and the chef is innovative and cares about the customers. great neighborhood spot! read more
