This is a great place to enjoy great food and drink with friends.It's a very chill atmosphere, you can dine in or outdoors.The food was very tasty. The Cobb salad was huge. Meatballs were so yummy,well seasoned, pretty big,loved the artichoke dip, so frikken good. The portion sizes are decent.Wine selection is huge, plenty of great choices. Staff attentive, friendly,and competent, they know their wines, and thoroughly explain the wines you order.And yes,you can buy bottles of wine to go.If you have gluten intolerance/ allergies, their pizzas are made with cauliflower crust, this place is for you.I tried the bacon ,wrapped dates,initially I thought sounds weird/ questionable, omg! The best appetizer ever,a must try.There are 2 decent sized,clean,bathrooms.They have live music on Sundays.Only downside ,parking is terrible in this general area.It's just crowded on the streets,and there are other shops,great places to eat nearby.

We went with friends while visiting Long Beach. The concept is great, in our case our friends are wine club members. The commitment is 2 bottles per month that they keep on their own locker at the establishment. You can then drink your own wine with whatever food you order. The staff were very nice. If I lived in the area I would be a regular.

Can't say enough good things about Jodi & Deb! They are so knowledgeable and friendly. I love stopping in for a glass and hearing the stories behind the wine from everything about the vintner to the growing practices to the label design. It's a local gem!!

Always a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere and I enjoy the food choices and the wine. I always look forward to going here to enjoy an hour or two and some nights there is live music.

Love the Wine Beach! It has great ambiance with inside and outside seating. The staff is fabulous, friendly and efficient. The food is delicious especially their cauliflower crust pizzas and salad - I had the sausage / pepperoni pizza with a Cesar salad and it fed four nicely!!!!

Fun to try out, good selection, and good food (have had the pizza and tacos) but super expensive wine by the glass and the pours are not that generous. Overall good atmosphere and service.

Nice place on second street for some good wine tasting. They do offer some small bites as well. Not a huge fan of their food options, but they do have a a decent menu of things to nibble one while trying the wine. It's nice to have a wine bar right on second street. My only complaint is their wine glasses. I wish they would have nice wine glasses in their proper shapes for red and white wine. I feel that's the only thing that's lacking, and maybe a slightly nicer ambiance inside. Other than that, they have a great selection of wines from surrounding areas and if you are looking for a wine bar in the area I would check it out!

Food was yummy! The entertainment was awsome. Not happy we got stuck for $185.00 bill for the entire table. We did not even know 2 of those people sitting at our tabke. Next time will insist I pay for each drink with cash.

Passed by this Gem a few times, decided to give it a go. So glad my husband and I did. great place for date night, girls night or just relax with delicious wine varieties. the vibe is beautiful, clean, cheese plate amazing, had the bacon tomato basil pizza, so delish. Excellent service provided by Paige, she has great customer service skills, and I appreciate her attention to detail. she made the experience even more enjoyable, especially for a first time visit with questions.

Sorry, service is very important to me! The wine & location are nice, but our service was poor. We arrived 45 min prior to closing & our server told us right away that it was last call, no food only drinks. Ok, we out our order in asap & she quickly took our menus away. Yet we noticed her continue to take orders for other parties up to 15 min before closing. Hm.Anyway, our server (Emily) brought out all our wines at once. Before tasting our drinks I asked the server if she suggested a particular order for the tasting (I also asked if any of the wines were on the sweeter side), and she replied with attitude "ummm we don't do sweet wine. And it doesn't matter what order you go in." Ok, not my typical wine tasting experience. She left a paper that said the names of the wine. Since she took our menus, we didn't know the notes or any information really. It was a strange experience. We checked out & felt very underwhelmed and like the server had personal animosity towards us. I would have left it at that, had she not come up to me right before we left and asked sarcastically, "so were any of those sweet to you?" I answered that I thought one of them might have been a touch sweeter than the rest (I'm no expert so who knows). She just stared at me with a smug look and walked away without saying anything. It was hurtful to be treated that way. This happened a few weeks ago & I couldn't shake the experience out of my wind. Me and my boyfriend go wine tasting often & we were let down (& we are no strangers to eating out; he's a reporter) For a personalized wine tasting I'd recommend Water's Edge and Marina Wine. They really know their stuff & have fantastic recommendations with stellar service! For great wine & food I'd recommend District Wine. & the best ambience award goes to Wine Crush.

Love this place! If you're looking for a relaxed place to enjoy some great wine and fantastic food....you've found it!This was our second visit and I can't believe I didn't post a review the first time. The owners spent a lot of time teaching us about the wines and how to get the most out of our experience.They also have a local chef creating some great dishes to pair with the wine selections.All of the staff were great and we loved the overall environment and music selections.

You don't remember me because you ignored our table while you were table touching everyone around us. And no, your choices of wine is not worthy of the $15 a glass you charge. And hey, with your customer service, how about not being defensive. Try to win customers, not admonish them!

My husband and I love it here. Incredibly good wine selections, nice relaxed vibe (music is always great), and outstanding customer service. It has this really unique neighborhood vibe, the staff are friendly and helpful. We almost never leave without a bottle or two in our hands.
