We put care into our vegetarian dishes too, including making our own tempeh, falafel, and veggie patties from scratch.

    The Neapolitan pizza was amazing. Pretty loud and not the nicest atmosphere for the prices, but good food.

    The restaurant was beautiful, the service was quick, the staff were attentive and super friendly, and the food was reasonably priced and delicious. I ordered the dry wine flight and ended up purchasing 2 bottles to go. My partner and I had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner and I am certain that I will be back again. Thank you Wine Cave!

    An absolutely great visit! I've never been and was looking for new places to try for Valentine's/Self-Love Day, lol. I was late for my reservation (I did call to make them aware) and they were still able to accommodate me -- nice customer service. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Scott. He's a sweetheart and served me a couple Sparkling Comsos -- yumm. For my dinner, I got the Scottish Salmon cooked medium. It was made perfectly! The accoutrements were delish as well. Abby(ie) made sure I was tended to throughout. Very nice experience in a beautiful space with matching vibes.
