Fortitude Wine Bar

Had a wonderful lunch at Fortitude Wine. The food was amazing as always and the wine delicious. The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable

I came to Fortitude with my childhood best friend from Australia, I hadn't seen her in 12 years! From the time we're seated to the time we left we were so impressed with the service, food, and atmosphere!! Our server was so lovely! She was warm and welcoming and really educated us on the wine we ordered! The food was DELICIOUS!! Definitely will be back!!

Fortitude Wine Bar located in district 1881, Chilliwack, was a great option for us to hangout this Sunday sampling some BC wines, enjoying the cozy atmosphere the venue offers and their amazing Mediterranean platter. The service, food, wine and ambiance was perfect for an afternoon hangout. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.

Service was great, food had a lot of cheese, sauce or dressing. Wine was excellent. There was a hair in the grilled cheese panini

Had a nice visit with a friend! The server was fairly prompt. We seemed to have no server for a bit and then were notified someone else was taking over so that made sense. We came for the end of happy hour so our food and drinks came quite quickly. The patio is a little small but it's expected based on the location of the establishment- I just wish there was more space outside! Overall, I definitely will come back again.

The server was nice and not pushy at all. They knew when to ask and when to leave customers alone. Would visit again.

Nice place, great wine list, limited but tasty & interesting menu of mainly appetizers and shareable s. However even though it was a Saturday evening, the service was very slow. Took about 90 minutes to get our first item. For the cost, would not go back.

Well, I try my best to be objective with all my reviews.
The place was nice, the food was okay .
The service was okay until it wasn’t.
My wife and I went there for the first time, we were looking for something new and the place looked nice, the service was good at the beginning. We ordered a plate to share and my wife ordered an entree, I thought I was going to be good just with the shareable plate but half way I decided to order an entree for me, I told the waitress ONLY if what I requested was going to be ready at the same time than my wife’s dinner I would order it, to what she responded that it should be okay, and i thought it was very doable because it was just a pulled pork sandwich, so they brought my wife’s plate, 10 minutes went by and my wife was trying to wait for me eating slow, I called the waitress and asked her again that if they hadn’t started preparing my plate I would like to cancel it, to what she responded that it should be almost done, I told my wife not to wait anymore, ten more minutes later she brought my plate, I couldn’t tell her that i didn’t want it anymore because she left really fast , my wife was already done eating and I didn’t want to eat it anymore, a few minutes later she came and asked gow we were doing so I told her that I didn’t want it, she said “but you ordered it!” And I said yes but only if I could get it at the same time than my wife’s, she didn’t look to happy but she took it back. We weren’t upset, we left 20% tip. In my way out, I se her behind the bar at the entrance so I approached her, there was a guy next to her, with a smile I told her that my wife and I have been in the restaurant business for some time, (my wife is a sous chef that has worked in very high class restaurants) and if she allowed me a little advice, when I ordered my dinner even though it was late she could’ve very easily told the cook that it was a rush ordered and it would’ve taken 5 minutes to prepare, right there the other guy interrupted me and told me that he was the manager and he heard everything, that they canceled my order (with a tone like if it was a big deal) and that i didn’t have to say anything else, basically telling me to leave, I still tried to explain to him that it wouldn’t have affected anything if he would’ve put my order as a rush but he told me that it wasn’t fair for the other customers that had orders before mine and told me again that it was it, then my wife told him that he was being rude and we left.
They were nice at the beginning, I won’t deny it, but they really have no idea how to make customers happy when there is a special circumstance, what I tried to tell them it was good advice, they would’ve made me happy and for 5 minutes that another order would’ve have to wait it wouldn’t bother the other customer. But the way this guy came out was very rude, unless he is the owner I guess he can do whatever he wants but if not, the owner should send him to take a course. That place looked like a high class place, at least that is how they pretend to present themselves, if they focus in wines and cheese’s you’ll think that at the very least they can handle a simple situation like having to rush n order, it won’t mess up anything, the really nice restaurants do it all the time.
So bottom line, if you go there you might have a good time IF you don’t ask for anything special.
Once again, the waitress was nice but since the beginning she should’ve told me that my plate wasn’t going to be ready at the same time than my wife’s and then clearly get upset when i rejected it.
But that guy, “the manager”, he has no idea how a real restaurant should be managed, he might be good working for a fast food restaurant but not for a place like that.
I leave this here so you can make your own opinion, you might have a different experience and that’s okay.
Oh, if they deny that it happened that way, I can show you a video ?

WOW! I am not a foodie. Food is mostly fuel for me but if I were local, I would eat here regularly. The setting is quaint, the atmosphere is relaxed and super cool and Vanessa, the manager, is on top of her game. If you are anywhere need, please go and treat yourself

We loved the service and the food was mint. I ordered the blue cheese stuffed figgies. I can't help thinking they would be really good in a fresh fig, lightly baked, then stuffed with the prosciutto wrapped blue cheese (awesome!) and lightly broiled. We have such nice fresh figs here! Again, no fault, and the food was amazeballs, just an idea I've had, after drinking a flight of delicious red wine.
