Really tasty food options and fantastic wine list including a ton by the glass options which is always appreciated. Service was friendly, fast to deliver our food and drinks but we did have empty drinks on the table for a while before they came by to check on us, also took a while to get the bill and we had to get up and ask for it at the bar. Other than that, I think it is a great little spot for wine and shareable snacks.
Our go to place for cute dates for the last 3 years, always cozy, always welcoming and great tasting food with delicious wine opposite to King West hustle atmosphere, you can enjoy a conversation with your partner here over a glass of wine
Fabulous wine bar, great selection of vintages from all over, and very cool vibe. Bring your bestie or a book (or your best book), get comfy, hang out and drink wine. Who could ask for more?
Delicious wine, very cozy place. The cheese and meat board was delicious. Ask for a recommendation to the server and they will know how to please you.
The best wine bar in Toronto by far. One of the deepest and most diverse BTG lists of any wine bar you'll ever visit (which changes often bringing more choice for those local to T.O.) and a well stocked BTB list as well! Food is well priced and high quality and the service for how busy this place gets is top notch. There's a reason why so many industry vets in Toronto come here to enjoy a glass or two! Great environment and even better people!
Best wine bar in toronto. Variety of wine options at various price points. The servers are knowledgeable about every bottle of wine we ordered from the vineyard to the winemaker which makes it less intimidating to those who may be new to wine. The place is small and intimate so expect to wait a little bit during peak dinner hours. The only downside was some of the wines we wanted were out of stock but that just means we have to come back to check now.
Cute place. Had a few glasses of wine and a cheese board. It was nice but nothing memorable. I would give it a 3.5/5
I can’t speak give a high enough review for this wine bar. First off they held a couple of spots for my wife and I on a Saturday night. The wine list is massive, and features bottles at many different prices. The wines by the glass are a great way to explore different wines. The food was amazing and the charcuterie is sliced right in front of you at the bar. The atmosphere is exactly what you would want in a wine bar, the service is the best in the city and they have incredible knowledge. The biggest problem is that we just discovered it and it’s only a short walk from our house so we will be coming back in a regular basis. Thanks for an amazing night !
