We had a great location in the restaurant. In the very back patio. It was pouring but with 2 heaters it was very cosy. 1 of our servers was great, the other seemed to hate her job. Food was average plus, nothing special, but the ambiance made up for it

Came for a group gathering but went to order my own drink at the bar. Wines I tasted seemed like they had not been opened recently. Was taken aback to see that I was charged 19.06 for a $15 glass, being told that tip was added for large party??? I came to bar for a single glass with no table service. Wouldve left tip anyhow, but that left a bad taste. No bueno.

We really wanted to like this spot because it has a cool vibe but the food was so disappointing and we’re so bummed! We tried going two times hoping the first time was just a bad night because we love Spanish food, but both times the food tasted like it was either frozen, poorly cooked, or dry/left out for too long. We tried a variety of dishes between our two visits and the only things we liked were one of the cheeses and the gambas. One of the best things about Spanish food is that it is simple but delicious, but somehow this spot missed the mark. Let’s just say we’ve had better tortilla española from the frozen section at Trader Joe’s and most of us could make better tapas and pintxos in our own kitchens. Hopefully it will get better over time, but for now we’ll stick to some of our other favs in LA.

Delicious tapas. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, and the happy hour was a sweet deal too. Incredibly affordable.Parking is not bad. There’s a lot of street parking and lots across the street.

I wish I could review the food at this establishment but I can't. I made an outdoor reservation on open table for this evening but apparently a restaurant that's been around for YEARS doesn't understand how to use open table's interface and while I was able to make a reservation, when we arrived we were told there was a private party and no outdoor seating available. I don't eat indoors. We left. Don't know that we'll be back. So disappointing.

Well, the food is super good but the waiters only show up at the table once and only that time they don't come back to serve the customers, which seems bad to me.

Terrible for a party of 30. Just starch and one small salad for a table of seven. Not good service either. First time ok with a group ordered off the menu. Leaving it to the restaurant it was a disaster. Worst $50 plus wine o ever spent . No

We went there with another couple. We decided to order appetizers and was great! They also have live music that make the space very nice!

Loved the ambiance! Went on a Friday night around 10 pm and got to enjoy the guitarist. Great wine and paella! Paella for 2 was a bit small but it is a tapas restaurant and very tasty.

We love tapas and we will be back to Vino Wine & Tapas everytime we come to LA (and are in the Valley). Found it on Yelp and it did not disappoint. Great food, great service, good prices and even good music. Call outs: The food and Sangria was awesome. On the food - YOU MUST order the Shrimp "Al Pil Pil". It was INSANE! The sauce is literally one of those sauces where you taste it and the flavor makes you stop and say "where is the bread so I can sop up the rest so no one else gets any" Might result in you ordering one per person and just make it your entree. (Yea, I know this is a Tapas place, small plates, sharing, blah blah blah, but that dish is so good that sharing might require some kind of written agreement between the sharers) Mushrooms were awesome, the filet mignon skewers were killer, eggplant chips with honey?!- yea do it. And of course bacon wrapped dates which I think is what they greet you with at the pearly gates. On the Sangria - just the right amount of fruit - love the fact they did not put monster amounts of fruit in it (some places do that). Get a pitcher if you are 3 or more. The ambiance was great and service was super fast. Suggestion: loved the guitar music - great mix of classic Latin and other stuff (did a great rendition of a Prince tune). Only suggestion is that it is a little loud. We sat in the side room and it was just the right volume. Regardless of where you sit, it is great. Highly Recommend
