My sister and I came here for dinner through dinela and we had a fabulous first time experience. It's a little hard to spot the restaurant because we arrived at night and it's in a somewhat secluded plaza with limited light, but not impossible to see. The place looked packed, but we had reservations so we were seated in a timely manner. The place was very lively, they had a live performer singing and we saw some people were dancing and really having a good time. Kendal was our waiter for the night, who assisted us beautifully. He made sure to prepare our setting was clean and new after each course. We were also kindly assisted by Gavo who was the manager. They have this really cool wine on tap where you can sample a bunch of different wines! Gavo showed us how to use it and later came to our table to check up on us and tell us more about the restaurant. They have a girls night on Wednesdays and all day happy hour on Sundays! Now the food, it was a set menu with appetizer, salad, pasta, entree and dessert. Everything was perfectly portioned and delicious. My favorite was the caviar grilled cheese and the spinach cacio Pepe. Can't wait to go back! Definitely want to see what is on the rest of their menu. read more

Such a chill vibe on a Friday night!! Just my wife and I para pasar el tiempo más romántico Great food. Gotta have meatballs and pasta à la vodka. Sommelier Luca gave some sold wine recommendations for food pairing. Loved it! Strongly recommend read more

My husband and I went to WeVino and it was an amazing culinary experience. For those that are wine aficionados, their offerings are impressive and if I'm remembering right, you can have opportunity to sample wines from vintage bottles for palatable costs without having to buy the whole bottle. At one long period in my life I probably could have been a jr sommelier, so looking at their wine offerings was fun for me. The presentation of each dish is quite memorable and if you get lucky you'll be able to see other exotically presented dishes served to other people. Whoever did the interior design in each room needs to also be noticed. The main dining room is designed as if you're in a giant wine barrel. The ceiling is arced wood with barrel band straps and the walls adorned with maps of great winery regions. The lighting is thoughtful and romantic, putting on an ambience that enhances your entire experience. While we no longer drink alcohol, we still had a magnificent night. If you're looking for a great date night on a special occasion, consider this venue. read more

Updating, we had a delightful last minute foray as I had a tough week and then recalled it was dine la- so why not. Food was absolutely delicious. Good service and nice vibe. Musician on site too! read more

LOVED this unique wine experience. My husband and I went for a nice date night and had a great time. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, the food was very delicious (and the pasta house made with viewing area!) but the real star of the show is, of course, the self service by-the-ounce wine tasting machine, which we were informed has been imported from Italy! One side is old world and the other is new world wines. There is a good selection of white, rosés and reds, as well as a range of prices! While we didn't try them, the cocktails also looked delicious. Would absolutely recommend this place for a nice date night or a fun group night with your friends who are into wine. Really enjoyed trying many different types of wines without committing to the bottle. The only negative was sometimes the pour spout didn't work and you had to get the sommelier to fix it, but they were quick and helpful to do so. read more

WeVINO - Lava cake and cheesecake - Wine Bars Near Me - Westlake Village, California

Ambiance is beautiful. Live music was too loud. Read the room. When you have to strain your voice to chat with someone right next to you - not a good start. Service was good - except one server possibly in training when asked what was in a dish told us about a meat dish incorrectly. If a server doesn't know they shouldn't guess. If another server hadn't corrected that person we would've ordered something we 100% wouldn't intend to eat. Chicken piece was weird - fatty skin - didn't seem like quality pieces - good sauce but the chicken itself yuck - don't recommend. Good salad and pasta. Wine gimmick is cool but way overpriced. Overall nice but cost didn't match what it is so makes none of us want to return. ***My last meal in Vegas cost SAME amount bill for MORE food AND drink, same amount of people from a renowned world chef was absolutely flawless in every single way and had us talking about it and dreaming of it for days after - worth every penny. This spot wasn't nearly the same for that kinda breaking the bank. read more

Our first time here and we had a blast. It is a small restaurant in a discreet location and everyone needs to know about this place! It's date night and we love to try new spots. My husband is a chef and we tried the pappardelle Bolognese was delicious! We sat at the bar top because we enjoy talking to the bartenders and seeing our drinks be made. We both work in the service industry so it is important to us to connect with the staff and not just sit at a table and be served. BUT the most important part- I had no idea- was the self service WINE WALL.. I was not prepared haha you get a wine card and can use it on the wine wall for different sized pours.. 1ounce 2.5 ounce or a full glass of over 100 wines. It was so much fun to walk around and pick tastings of so many different wines. I love that I had over seven one ounce pours and didn't have to commit to one full glass of anything if i didn't want to. Our bartenders were Ryan and Danielle. The sommelier is Luca and he gave me a little introductory tour when I arrived and I appreciate his friendly and informative demeanor. This place is so fun for date night. There was a live singer tonight (Thursday) and they also have a great happy hour! read more

It was my first time. We were a table of 5 women. From the moment we walked in, this place nailed the perfect balance of cozy and elevated. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with just the right touch of sophistication for a night out or a relaxed dinner with friends. The food was absolutely incredible--every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. You can really tell they care about quality ingredients and presentation. We tried a few different plates and honestly, there wasn't a single miss. The wine selection is just as impressive. Whether you're a wine lover or just want a great glass to pair with your meal, there are plenty of options and the staff is happy to guide you. They were super helpful with the wine selections. Speaking of staff, the service truly stood out. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely welcoming--it made the whole experience even better. Colton was our waiter and he was great. Super friendly and had great recommendations. Overall, this is one of those spots you'll want to come back to again and again. Great food, amazing wine, and top-notch service--highly recommend! read more

I am sorry, but I have to give a one star review for my experience today. First and foremost, the music was very bad. I had to ask them to put us in the back room away from the music. Second, Some of the items on the menu were not available and the server didn't know. she told us to place an order and then she needed to come and tell us that the items are not available. It seemed like she was not trained properly.. And finally quality of food was so bad, half of my table did not eat their food. Lastly, the server did not even apologize for our bad experience and for terrible food, Our bill came out to almost 500 Dollars for 6ppl. Unfortunately, I will not be returning and not recommending this place to anyone. read more

We Vino is more like what many Southern Europeans expect in a fine restaurant. Dinner should last 3 hours to be able to not rush, savour, and enjoy. It's quality, not quantity where many of us Americans are too used to supersized meals. There is an expectation of small portions so that one may experience more dishes to test the métier of the Chef de Cuisine and to experience varied gustatory sensations. If the portions are small, order more. We Vino really puts out well modulated, sophisticated cuisine if given the chance & our using the pocketbook. If one cheaps out, the experience will be inferior. The old adage "You get what you pay for." is true. (However, with so much misunderstandings on portion size in the reviews, perhaps there should be an American Super Size option.) The staff is AMAZING. So enthusiastic in presenting their expertise to enhance the guests' dining experience. I was floored by General Beverage Director Andrei, Sommelier Luca, Chef Ludo, Server Kendall whose hospitality and joie de vivre were orchestrated into a smooth flowing ballet de théatre. 1) Esperienza Buffala Casa Bianca: Dressed with evoo & sea salt. Milk from the water buffalo often found in Campagna when Bufala is mentioned. a) Cremotta: Richest, soft, triple cream-like, almost dairy sweet. Reminds me of Brillat-Savarin. Best b) Burrata di Bufala: Skin semi tough, watery yet creamy c) Mozzarella di Bufala: Soft skin, sour-musky, rough textured, d) Bocconcino di Bufala: Tough, bitter, watery, nutty, still retaining a half ball shape e) Affumicata: Tough, brown skin, more substantial texture, smoky BBQ scent from burning hay. 2) Lobster Corn Dog is a fun conceit. Sweet lobster mimicking the common hot dog. 1-2a) Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico: Bouquet of loquat, apricot, woody. Tart-sweet loquat flavor. Finish is similar to its taste. Special pairing by Andrei. Intermezzo: Foccacia & organic Sicilian EVOO #1 Lorenzo "Cerasuola" Bibenda 2023. Refreshingly bittersweet, white peppery, buttery, slight woody artichoke taste as noted by Andrei, beverage director. 3) Carpaccio di Wagyū Filetto: Tajima Wagyū (wah ghee yu) doesn't refer to a region in Japan, but it is the name of the black haired cow that is the progenitor to most other Wagyū all over the world. Extremely thinly cut, fatty, lush, plush, beefy. Lemon Garlic Aïoli (ah ee oh lee), Arrugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, and hyper thin chiffonade of fried leeks with concentrated essence of funky chives is unforgettable. 4) Barbabietola e Caprino: Sweet Golden beets, earthier Red-Purple beets glazed by sweet Moscato wine, fresh, tart red plums. Small ball of chevre/goat cheese coated with a chiffonade of dried herbs, sprinkling of micro basil. 3-4a) Pinot Noir, Bernadus, Santa Lucia Highlands, California: Brandied cherry, raspbery, light oak, earthy. 5) Polpette Brasate al Pomodoro: 60% beef, 40% pork. Meatball is fine textured, firm dressed in a cheesy, thick Sugo di Pomodoro. Topped with Cremotta & fried, green Basil leaf. Grilled Ciabatta bread. 6) Paccheri ai Tre Pomodori: Big, floppy big mouth tubular pasta al dente tucked with long, slow cooked tomato sauce of 3 tomato varietals. Single green Basil leaf and good scattering of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. 5-6a) Le Sabbie dell'Etna: "Sands of Mt. Etna" 2021. Scent of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, light oak. Red wine is sprightly, juicy, acidic, agrodolce/sour sweet, and the flavour continues. Nerello Mascalese is an awesome Sicilian varietal. 7) Tira-Cotta di Cuoco/Chef Brik: Clever hybrid of Panna Cotta "pudding" and Tiramisù. A thin layer of apricot Panna Cotta encircles a mound of Chocolate Mascarpone cheese Espuma, Chocolate Espresso Crémeux, scattering of crunchy Chocolate Coffee Sand, crunchy Mandarin. 7a) Moscato d'Asti: Softly effervescent, smooth, sweet, mildly acidic white wine with honey mead, pineapple. Astounding panoply of skillful, accomplished cooking with exemplary service that went above and beyond. And this was DineLA. I am now compelled to participate in their Menu Dégustation avec l'Association de Vins et Mets or its equivalent in Italian. 5+ Stelle/stars!!! read more

We made reservations for Saturday night and it was a fabulous girls night out. Our party was a total of 3 ladies and we ordered 4 drinks, 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts to share. The total with tip was $467. The level of service Jay (GM), Mia (in dept menu knowledge), and Andrei (beverage director) provided at various moments during our meal added value to the fine dining experience. The ambience & decor is very cool so date night, business meeting, and/or girls night out is very fitting. The menu had some unique culinary innovations like the wagyu tartare presentation, lobster corndogs, truffle options, and specialities of the night that make this place standout. I noticed that a dress code was not enforced and I like that you can come in and be comfortable. Also, the option to get up from your table and select your own wine at the wine kiosks makes the process casual and fun. That being said, this place combines a formal dining experience with more casual options. You can valet your car or self park. Lots of options depending on your mood for the evening. I'll definitely come back and bring more friends to try out the wines and other bites I didn't get to try. Look at the photos and description for all the food we had. You'll be happy to check it out. read more

Great place. Across the Four Seasons. Worth the walk. Food is excellent, ambiance is nice. Service was spot on.

The interior design and overall vibes were immaculate. Though the music choice was questionable at certain points (e.g. techno rave-like music). Got the DineLA menu at $45 which included a cheese tasting to share, a salad, pasta, and dessert. - Tricolore (+$4): strong taste of cheese and arugula. blood oranges was a nice touch (though could use more than the 3 thin slices it had). - Penne alla vodka de chef brik (+$4): was way drier than I would've liked... it was like eating pasta with ever so subtle flavor. - Lobster corndog (+$6): Whilst unique, it was alright. Fluffy breading, and tender lobster in the center. I would've liked there to be a bit more lemon aioli, but the lemon slice was sufficient - Tira-Cotta de chef brik: unique and flavorful - I liked how the fruity tartness of the crunchy mandarin balanced the sweetness of the apricot panna cotta and chocolate creme. Coffee sand was also a nice touch! A waiter came by to ask if we'd like crushed pepper in a "tell us when to stop" fashion. This was unique, as I'm used to italian restaurants bringing a block of cheese to shave instead of pepper... and when one of my friends had asked for a cheese instead, they instead brought it on the side and charged for it (which isn't a big deal, but I wish they'd mention there'd be a charge at time of "ordering") Service, albeit very nice people, was pretty slow and unorganized. We had a reservation at 7pm on a Friday. Ended up getting seated at least 30 minutes later, and our orders taken another 20 min after (7:50PM). Salads came out first at around 8pm, for all except one person in our party. We waited another 10-15 min for hers to come out so we could eat together. Pasta came out at 8:45PM. At this point, we had suspected that the cheese tasting board had been forgotten about. After reminding the waiter, this came out shortly after. Lobster corndog came about 20 min after, than dessert at 9:40pm, 20 min before closing. We didn't expect to be here as long as we did, but it is what it is. Pasta and lobster corn dog portions were tiiiiiiiny. They looked sad.. relative to how large the plate was. Maybe downsizing the plate could be an option, but regardless we left unsatisfied. I hope this place works out its kinks because there's definitely potential... Love the idea of fresh ingredients brought from Italy every week hence the price point. Very unique premise with the key card to try the various wines. Won't be coming back, but if you're a wine connoisseur, this is right up your alley. Forced valet parking at $7. Not really much street parking around. read more

We had a lovely dinner at We Vino, a beautifully decorated restaurant. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. They have mandatory valet parking. Although we waited about 45 minutes for our table, the experience started on a positive note thanks to Jay, the manager, who was very kind and attentive, he even comped us a drink while we waited, which we appreciated. The ambience is truly the highlight, chic and inviting As for the food:    *   The carpaccio and wagyu tartare were delicious fresh, and nicely presented.    *   Our spicy margaritas had just the right kick.    *   The ribeye was good, though I personally didn't feel it justified the price point.    *   The cacio e pepe was underwhelming, and the pasta portions in general were surprisingly small. Overall, it was a good experience, especially for the atmosphere and starters. read more

Ok seriously a GEM of Westlake village. I'm obsessed with this place. More so for a wine night vs dinner. The wine experience is to die for and such a fun time! The bar is gorgeous and the interior designing is chefs kiss. The restaurant portion look like you are inside of a wine barrel. So clever! I love that you can taste wines from America to Europe. We had a great time. Service was great! Only complaint was that we were told the braised short rib has 7oz of protein when it barely had 2 lol. Otherwise, fabulous experience. The steak tartar was 10/10 and so were all the other appetizers. Entrees are meh but still a great experience. Cocktails are really good too. read more

Good, definitely not great. I'll start with the good - Beautiful new space in Westlake, dimly lit, velvet chairs, impressive bar, high end platting, stylish cocktails. What to order... Pasta - any of the fresh pastas will be a hit, but don't expect to share, portions are rather small. The cacio e pepe was delicious and the ragu was a unique standout. Caesar salad - MUST, one of the best I've ever had, but refused to cut it, which is a personal pet peeve of mine. Beet salad with whipped cheese - delicious, creamy, bright punch of vinegar, beautifully served. Self serve wine machines were a fun start to the meal, taste a few things and ask the somm for suggestions. Skip... Chicken - inedible, dry and tiny, no flavor. Burrata experience - absolute joke of a dish, five tiny bites of different mozzarellas for over $30 bucks. We actually laughed when it came. Overall, I would go back to the bar and have a drink and a salad and pasta, but nothing else. As far as the experience it felt very over done, staff kept pushing caviar and truffles, saying they used the same cuts of meat at Thomas Keller, which sounded odd. They were trying to create this Michelin experience, but the space is this dark, vibey lounge with loud music - very conflicting ambience to the menu and concept. My whole table was confused many times throughout the night. Lastly, we couldn't get a moment of privacy, everytime I sipped my water someone came to refill it to the edge, poor bus boy running around and constantly clearing plates while others were still eating. I know they're green, but I hope they can find their rhythm because it has potential to be great. read more

We had dinner at WeVino and wasn't disappointed. The server was highly professional, the likes you won't see often enough these days. The food was also terrific, although the bread & evoo was "meh". You want bread that's hard to stop eating... this wasn't. Both cocktails we had were excellent. Then we had the lobster corn dog which was great but i think a mustard drizzle rather than an aoli would've really brought the profile home. I loved the duck a LOT but the potato side was dry and basic. We both also really loved the pappardelle bolognese. They make pasta in-house and it matters. We finished with coffee and budino which was the best sticky toffee pudding I ever tasted. The coffee was also excellent and increased the enjoyment of the dessert. read more

First time here and blown away. Gorgeous space and incredible food. I didn't know how I'd feel about the do-it-yourself wine but I loved it. So fun to get up from the table and try new wines.

Never would have found this place if it wasn't for DineLA. It's kind of hidden away and if you don't know where it is, you will most likely miss the driveway. Located in a shopping plaza with a long driveway with ample parking. Walking in, there's music playing and you are presented with the bar on your left and right in front of you is the Wine self pour machine. At each table, you are given a card with a chip on it. When you are ready, walk up to the dispenser on either side and insert the card with the chip facing down. Once inserted, select the wine and the pour size you want. I believe it comes in increments of 1oz, 3oz & 5oz. There's pricing for each pour size and also description with region & type. The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor dining area. I recommend sitting outside if it's not too hot. The restaurant is only open for 4 hours daily and 5 hours on Fridays/Saturdays. I would recommend you book a reservation through OpenTable. We got lucky and were seated outside next to the fireplace. This is a great space to drink wine and just chill. Just be careful because it's so easy to drink your way to a gigantic bill. I think we ended up spending $60. I did see someone with their dog just in case someone was wondering. We ended up ordering from the DineLA menu with some upgrades. Keep in mind that this is an authentic Italian restaurant that stays true to how food is prepared in Italy. This is not American Italian where the dishes would use cream or milk to enhance the dish. It's pretty simple recipes. I did not know this and ordered the Alfredo, thinking it was going to be creamy like what I'm used to. Nope, it wasn't saucy and in fact a little dry. Not sure if it's because the dish was brought out to us premature while we were still eating our appetizer. By the time I got to the pasta, it had kind of curdled. Portion wise, it wasn't a lot and I'm assuming this is because it's a DineLA menu and not the full sized portion. The pasta is made in house and you can taste the freshness and bouncy they are. My wife ordered the Caccio E Pepe. That dish was a little better, but overall, I wasn't a fan of the pasta dishes because the cheese they use had a sourness to it. If it was milder, I would have enjoyed it more. It was kind of bland. I'm pretty sure my tastebuds are a little skewed because I am so used to how Italian food is prepared here in the states. I did enjoy their apps more though and felt they had more flavor. While I there, I started to deduct stars away for their service. We were seated, we waited a good 10-15 minutes before anyone came by to take our order. Turns out, we were not assigned a server. Luckily, the manager came by and asked another server to take our order. The food time here is a bit on the slow side. So just be patient or order more apps to compensate. It would be nice if they provided complimentary bread as we wait for our food to come. The server did make it up to us by comping us for the wine we drank. Not sure if they were understaffed when we went, but I can't imagine what we experienced was their norm. I would come back just for the ambiance and relax with some wine. read more

What a wonderful experience! I am a "wine guy" and I bring my own wines almost every time I go out to dinner. I have well-aged wines that have been stored lovingly for decades and I open them when they are ready (I hate drinking wines that are too young!). WeVINO is the perfect restaurant because they have well-aged wines that can be purchased by the glass and one can mix and match throughout the meal! Sure, they have a comprehensive winelist by the bottle (very fairly priced BTW!), but the wine storage machine has dozens of selections that you buy using a special "credit card" and you can pick your color, region, wine, and size (pay attention though; some of the more expensive wines have options with fewer ounces than the less expensive wines). I always enjoy pairing courses with wines that complement the food and make both taste better. WeVINO makes that simple to do! And ... YES! ... the food is incredibly tasty! Amazing pastas, beef, salads, caviar, just a great menu overall. The Sommelier, Manager, Waitress, and Bus Boy were all helpful, friendly, accommodating, and made our table feel very welcome! I can barely wait to go back again! I highly recommend WeVINO for your next dining adventure (and free self-parking if you are not smart enough to take an Uber/Lyft!). read more

This place has high highs and low lows! The ambiance is pretty and I like concept of trying different wines with a card. I will say that the chef is spectacular 5/5. We had the wagyu tartare 4/5, tuna tartare 4.5/5, branzino 4.5/5, and lobster corn dogs 5/5 (unique with generous lobster portions). The staff was a mix. The hostesses were a bit snobby in my opinion. They gave us a table in a dark backroom. There were many open tables in the main dining room, which they finally allowed us to sit in. This left a bad taste. Jay, the manager, stepped in and was able to help out. He was gracious and also provided a glass of wine to smooth things over. I went on to try a couple other wines. Unfortunately, the pours are tiny! Being a foodie/wino, I will say that the full glass option looked much smaller than a typical 5-ounce pour. The selection was good 4.5/5 but the pours...not so much 2/5. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and appreciated our kind waiters, managements thoughtfulness and hospitality, and the delicious food. read more

My wife and I visited WeVino for a date last Saturday night. We were encouraged to try it because the online photos looked fantastic. Upon arrival, we were seated in the front dining room; it was nice enough, though the online photos definitely made it look more impressive. While the waiter promptly took our drink order, things went downhill quickly from there. We waited 20 minutes for drinks and a staggering 45 minutes for a charcuterie board. I actually had to get up from the table after several failed attempts to wave the waiter down just to check on our order. When the board finally arrived 10 minutes later, it was underwhelming--the cheeses were pre-cut cubes and the meat looked weathered--but we were so hungry we ate most of it anyway. On a positive note, the burrata salad was quite good. Fearing another long wait, we ordered our pastas immediately. Unfortunately, another 45 minutes passed before they arrived. The Bolognese might have been good if it hadn't been ice cold, and the fettuccine Alfredo was barely warm. Our waiter was largely absent and only asked how the food was as he was walking away at the very end. The highlight is their automated dispensing system with over 100 wines. It was fun to try varietals I normally wouldn't--it's essentially a high-end Slurpee bar for wine. Bottom line: if you want cold food, terrible service, and plenty of wine samples, this is the spot for you. read more

We had a great dinner at weVINO. The ambiance was warm and really pleasing, making it an easy place to relax. The staff was kind and stayed attentive without hovering. The space has a unique balance: it works both as a spot to go out with friends on the weekend and as a genuinely good restaurant for a solid meal. The pasta was excellent,fresh, flavorful, and clearly made fresh in the back!! The bartender absolutely nailed the drinks. Everything felt consistent from start to finish. We left really impressed and would definitely come back. read more

We really wanted to love We Vino. We've given We Vino two chances because we were excited to welcome a new restaurant to the neighborhood and it truly is gorgeous inside. Unfortunately, we've left disappointed both times. The pasta portions are extremely small, so you have to order quite a bit more just to feel full. On top of that, I felt nickel-and-dimed for basic things that should be standard with Italian dishes. For example: 1) They charge extra for Parmesan cheese if you want it grated on top of your pasta or as a side. 2) The "Burrata Experience" doesn't come with bread! You have to pay an additional $6 for it. (Who serves a "burrata experience" without bread?) 3) We Vino doesn't carry simple chili flakes; instead, you can pay extra for a side of Calabrian chili. 4) Many things are presented as an "experience" and are outrageously expensive, or don't come with everything needed to enjoy the experience unless you pay extra. 5) 1 pasta per dish per customer is their response and to order many dishes to get full. They make a bunch of excuses to explain their process on how to order per guest when you don't have to put this much thought into how to order to get full at any other restaurant. Bottom line is, the owner & chef can see consistency in the reviews. If they increase their portion sizes a bit, they'll have a lot less to explain... rather than respond to each reviewer to justify. They could make the change internally and there will be less to address... * There are so many wonderful local Italian restaurants LIKE: Basta, Rustico, Nonna, Novo Cafe, Tuscany, Made in Italy, Mediterraneo and more... ...that also "import" high-end ingredients from Italy. All of these local restaurants are generous with portions and condiments and NONE of them charge for basics like Parmesan cheese, side to spice up food, or bread that should accompany appetizer cheese. We Vino, on the other hand, feels overly frugal with what they give the customer. After giving it multiple tries, we left feeling disappointed and honestly, we don't see a reason to go back. Our friends who dined with us felt the same way, and we're all pretty easygoing people. There are too many options within the same mile radius vicinity to feel nickel and dimed, or leave hungry due to such small portions. Nothing we ate was to die for or crave worthy. It's a draw for their wine machines which is mere presentation. We Vino could improve by heeding the reviews, drop the extra charges, and get a little more robust on portion size to local competitors if they want to survive for the long-term. I hope people in the surrounding area will send their message loud and clear by not returning until the owners make the adjustments. There is potential here, but less time responding to reviewers and more time making internal changes. I rarely write disappointed reviews and my hope was to be kind while sharing. read more

My husband and I had such a fantastic experience here at WeVINO! The place is gorgeous, food was delicious and service was awesome. Our server was Colton and he took great care of us. It's actually been a while since I had such great customer service. We ordered the bluefin tuna tartare, prawns, the caviar tagliatini (highly recommend), tricolore salad (best salad ever), stuffed donuts, yummy drinks, and a cappuccino. Overall a fantastic experience, we loved the vibe and can't wait to come back! read more

We went to WeVino with some friends who had tried the restaurant a few weeks back and loved it. Our friends know good food and service when they see it -- one of them is a renowned chef! So their recommendation meant something to me. WeVino did not disappoint. Rather unassuming on the outside, when we walked inside it felt and looked high end -- like a westside restaurant. The servers were attentive. We tried many dishes family style and there wasn't a single dish we didn't enjoy. The risotto was fabulous. The salmon was tender and flavorful. Even the simple misto salad had a delicious dressing that was bursting with flavor. If I'm being picky, I'd say they should do away with the mandatory valet -- let people park their own cars if they want to. There is ample parking. And offer some gluten free options on desert and decaf coffee. Neither were available for my wife (though they do have many gluten free dinner options). Overall, I'd recommend the place. Take your friends and share dishes. And enjoy their wide selection of wines from around the world. Cheers! read more

The food is good not the best, portions are small. Don't think of sharing, not enough for two. The service was good nothing to be wow about. Their cocktails are from $19-$22 Caesar salad is about $19 ...again a small portions on the food. they have very good wine selection if you are a wine drinker this is the place for you. And inside the restaurant it was really nice setup, not sure we'll be back but if we come back, we are just going to have some wine since they have many kinds of wine selections. read more
