I was always interested in trying this place out but nvr again will I come back to this establishment. Our server neglected us for over 30 min. And it felt like they were being condescending as they were taking my parties order. Save ur money.

Potential to be the go-to spot. Great drinks. Beautiful decor. But not the most welcoming bartender and dirty toilet/bathrooms.
Obscure Wine and Lucky Kitty is an absolute gem! The owner is incredibly talented and knows her wine inside out, always providing the best recommendations that never disappoint. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking to explore new flavors, you'll leave with something you love.
As for the food at Lucky Kitty, it's truly second to none. The chicken dumplings, pork buns, and radish cakes are packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a delight, and the staff adds to the experience with their warm and friendly service. You won't find a better pairing of exceptional food and wine anywhere else. Highly recommend!

I Was Told About This Wine Bar And That I Should Visit So I Did The Very Next Week Which Was Saturday, 9.7.24.. And I Wish I Never Did.. Upon Planning This Wone Bar As My Biweekly Date Night.. We Walk In And Wasn't Even Greeted By The Person On Shift This Particular Day/Shift.. Which We Came To Know As Bree. Ad We Stood At The Front Entrance Bree Continue To Speak With The Two Patrons Already Seated At The Bar And Didn't Feel Like We Were Worthy Enough To Be Spoken To. So We Took It Upon Ourselves To Seat Ourselves At The Only Table That Didn't Already Have Dirty/Used Wine Glasses And Or Water Glasses Already On The Tables. After Seating Ourselves And Grabbing The Menu's To See What We Wanted She (Bree) Still Never Came Over To Greet Us As We Spent Upwards Of Almost 3 Mins Scanning The Menu. After This Time Frame We Were Then Given Water And The Initial Greeting At That Point As Bree Inquired What We'd Like.. We Asked A Few Questions And Place An Order At The Same Time 2 Other Women Walked In And Bree Instantly Greeted Them Upon Entering The Establishment When She Was Behind The Bar Preparing Our Order. Which Instantly Annoyed Me. Bree Then Brings My Dates Order Which Was Not A Full Glass Of The Frozay He Ordered That Really Puzzled Us.. But Oh Well ... She Lves To Get My 1st Of Of The 3 Wines Of The Sweet Italian Wines For Tasting. As This Is Happening (5) Young Ladies Walk In And Again Bree Instantly Greet These Patrons As Well And Go Over To Ask What They Needed And After They Advised What They Wanted She Asked If They Were All Over 25 And And Preceeded To Assist Them. So Needles To Say Bree Was Very Rude, Inattentive And And I Feel Borderline Racist/Prejudice. I Wanted To Order More Items But I Refuse To Support And Spend My Money Where I'm Treated Less Than, Not To Mention That Bree Didn't Even Put Effort Into Cleaning The Used Glasses, As We Watched Her Swish Glasses In One Tub, Dip It In Another Tub And Sit Them On The Drying Rack, Which Really Sealed The Deal For Me Seeming Covid And Germs Still Exists And This Is The Level Of Clean She's Practicing At This Point. Buuuuttt.. There Was A Guy Named Steve That Came Over To Speak With Us And To See How Our Experience Was And I Didn't Tell Him About The Treatment From Bree Because I Wasn't Going To Return So Why Bother. I Then Reached Out To The Person That Advised Me To Visit This Establishment And Told Her What Was Happening, Literally As I Was Sitting There And She Instantly Asked Is It The Lady With The Black Hair.. I Said Yes!.. I Then Asked Why Would You Tell Me To Visit This Establishment If U Got Treated This Way As Well. She Stated The Owner Is (Which Is Not Bree) Really Nice When They Revisited Which Is Why She Advised I Visit There Seeming I Frequent Wine Bars Monthly .. But Sorry To Say..Bree Ruined It For Me And I Won't Return There.. I'll Find Somewhere Else To Spend My Money Like Back In Orlando Where I Normally Go And Our Glasses Are Filled And The Music Caters To All People As Well As The We're Not Treated Less Than. And The Customer Service Is Stellar And Warrants Tips That Match The Service Being Provided!.. *** I Would Rate This Place A Negative 3 *** ...All Thanks To Bree.. She Clearly Needs A One On One With Management On How To Treat Ppl And Work The Room With Everyone, Not Just Select Ppl. #Dissapointed #WastedMoney #NoBangForMyBuck #Rude

This is the only place I can go, that I can enjoy wine and actually learn about the wine. It’s not pretentious, it’s relaxing. The wines are carefully selected, and Wellie is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable
If you enjoy wine and food for the art of it, come here. If you enjoy wine because you had a long day, come here
Relaxed but refined, my favorite place to drink

Very bad energy from owner when she worked, bad business practices and gossips a lot , and the service from Staff were great but they are treated poorly watching their demeanor, very bad business deals and things behind closed doors are poor according to her constant gossip ;((((( not a good vibe anymore

Fantastic place where you can just enjoy hang out w wine and have some yummy well presented snacks, sandwiches, hummus, and charcuterie and you will enjoy how the owner and staff can explain the wines and drinks to you with exact details and pair your mood and desires. I love it that the staff are sommeliers themselves. It’s unique and woman owned! More power to ya! I love the atmosphere because everybody talks with each other. It’s like a little family and the culture is very open and friendly.

Was a bit shocked, major faux pas during our wine tasting. We sampled the first wine then was expecting a fresh wine glass for the next type of wine and so forth. Ugh she poured a different wine into the same glass, hmm.. then the next one as well. I pulled my glass back as she was going to pour hoping she would get the hint, didn't work. I should have asked for a fresh glass but then probably would make more dishes to wash. Dinnae kenn

We love the addition of the outdoor tables. We enjoyed our Sunday afternoon.
**Updated** - our daughter and I enjoyed our time at Obscure for the Bubbles and Buttercream event. We loved getting to know the other ladies!

The location is absolutely beautiful! The menu is constantly rotating with the support of smaller wineries, and the quality is absolutely unbeatable. It has a small quant atmosphere and is quiet. A great way to step out of the Florida heat and cool down with gentle souls. It's welcoming and despite not knowing anything about wine was introduced to tastes that felt so easy to drink and made me want to venture more into the realm of wine tastings.
