Winebar... A great place to go if you want to overpay for a pretentious menu with small portions and a bad atmosphere. Very inconsistent food which makes sense given that the kitchen staff changes quite frequently. As does the floor staff. Not a great sign, if you ask me.

We decided to stop in here for a glass or two of wine before our dinner. The atmosphere promotes comfortable lounging while still being classy.The wine list felt a bit short for being a wine bar, but after we tried a glass of Cremant and a glass of Soave, we came to the conclusion that they must curate the wines to ensure they offer a few of the finest wines rather than a lot of fluff that might not pass muster.The complimentary bread with lime and black pepper butter was a welcome snack while we savoured our wine. Although we didn't try anything from the food menu, I'm sure we would on our next outing there.The service was great and everyone was so kind. We could definitely see ourselves dropping by for a glass of wine any time we are in the area.

Service was great and the ambience at Wine bar is fantastic for a date night. Food on the other hand was quite disappointing. The duck risotto was extremely salty, and the carbonara was very dry with overcooked bucatini.While it's a nice cozy spot for a few drinks, I would not recommend coming here for the food.

Quaint little wine bar downstairs in Kensington. Good for a first date or a meal out. Lots options for sharing plates, fondue, and wine selection. Cool atmosphere with limited seating, if going on a Friday or Saturday, maybe make reservations.

Owner is rude and arrogant. Treats his staff poorly and he is very typical of all that is wrong with the hospitality industry.

Maybe they were having an off night, but the tuna carpaccio tasted off, the brussel sprouts were flacid and underseasoned, the bread on the bread plate was somehow both dry and untoasted. This was not an inexpensive meal.Go elsewhere.

We asked for options on the wine menu and were not disappointed. We each had something different and shared a charcuterie board of meat and cheese and an order of oysters. It was very good, no crumbs were left. A great place to enjoy a glass of wine with like minded people and it was not too loud so we were able to talk without yelling.

I was a little surprised and disappointed with the limited options for wine ny the glass. Also, it is a nice option to be able to order a flight of wines to taste different ones but did not like that they were all served at once in full sized glasses.. take up a lot of room on the table, especially if you also have food. Food was pretty good but felt it was a small amount of cheese and charcuterie for the price.
