   For the dollars the food was very underwhelming. The appetizers were bland, one was supposed to be scallops but it was really a dish of sauce with paper thin shavings of scallops. The entree choices included a steak that had so much peppercorn on it, it was painful to eat and a poached halibut that was very bland and dry. The crème brûlée ramekin was the smallest I have ever seen, maybe three bites. The chocolate cake portion was big but dry and was supposed to be served with a sauce that by 8:00 they had run out of. The only redeeming course was the salad and soup. They were both pretty good. All in all, I would say if you are going to try and serve a set menu at a fine dining price make sure you know how to create and execute. As for the service, the restaurant was half empty yet our waitress, who we had to get up to get her attention, continued to say “oh I’m so sorry we are so busy”. I hate being so critical but when you spend over $200 on a meal there are expectations of service and food quality.

   This was our first time here and it was fantastic! The wine and the almond crusted trout was excellent, my wife had the veggie risotto and she went off on the flavor and the veggies.

   Wine dive is a great place for a hang with friends. Lots of great menu options and fantastic wine list. Our waiter Gage was super knowledgeable about wine selection and very attentive in general. Highly recommend!

   We’ve been here a number of times and this night was a miss. Our waiter tried hard but the restaurant was overwhelmed…not sure why … the whole thing was just a head shake… drinks served in the wrong glass…etc…when we ordered our food we asked that our entrees not come out until after our salad…we no more than got the salads and here comes the food…🙄we sent it back but unfortunately when we got it my food was dried out…they were out of the risotto so subbed polenta which was fine…the pork chop one of our party got was very fatty…imo should have been trimmed…our waiter told us the manager would be by to apologize…he never showed…then the waiter offered us one free dessert to make up for our confused evening…one dessert for 2 couples 🙈really…???? And then our free dessert was on our bill..Just not customer friendly…but everyone has off nights and we’ll try again… gotta laugh…

    Had high expectations. Noted in the reservation that it was my wife’s birthday. Despite the tables being mostly empty on a Saturday night at 6:30, the host took us to a high top nearest to the kitchen. Asked if we could get a nicer table and he was visibly irritated and said “Uh…I guess.” Our server was absolutely amazing. I’m sorry sorry I can’t remember her name. She saved the night for us. Other wise it would have been a disaster. My medium rare lamb chops were both medium to medium well. The chai cake was clearly made day(s) before and was dried out.
