15 Best Wine Bars near Gaithersburg

“I was there for a business luncheon with 3 other people. At first I was concerned with the construction out front and the out of town guests wouldn't be able to find the restaurant, but that was not an issue. Check-in for our reservation was smooth. We were seated and a waiter was prompt asking for drink orders and providing menus. We place our orders after the waiter provided some explanation on some of the menu. The food arrived in a reasonable time. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere was good for a business meeting. We will back for future business meetings.“

“This place is so amazing that the staff love to come here to work and interact with their guests. I Highly recommend this place as they have a huge wine selection. They also have some beer and 28 beers on tap. The deli puts out more food than any other small kitchen that we've been to and it's super good. Seriously, if you can't find your favorite beverage they will do the best to order it on your behalf. However, my guess is that they already have it in stock. Cheers!“

“Looking for a nice place to hang out, enjoy good food and good drinks, maybe catch the game? Vine Alley is the place to go (and probably the only one open late around) which makes it stand out! Food wise, take it from a picky eater, it is soo good! Some small to kill the hunger, the bruschetta and brie crostinis were YUM! The dumplings were very tasty but my favorite were the wings…oh that honey flavor was so good!!! 100% recommend, 100% will come back for more when I am back in MD.“

“Best steak I have had in a LONG time. Of all the Ruth’s Chris locations I’ve been to, this is the best one I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Staff was outstanding, especially Franck - really appreciated his efforts and attention to detail. Franck: thanks for putting up with my kids - sorry about the tablecloth. And the wall. And the epic mess.“

“My husband ordered the tomahawk pork chop. Most of it was very rare. Instead of complaining about it, he just said he didn't care for it. We typically have a good meal at Firebird. The person preparing it needs to acquire the skill of grilling a thick piece of meat.“

“Our visit to La Canela was truly phenomenal! The flavors of the food were simply incredible, and the portions were generous. I opted for the Seco de Cabrito (Lamb shank) while my wife savored the Arroz con Mariscos (seafood rice). To start, we enjoyed the Agua de Tigre appetizer, which set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. Every dish we tried was exceptional, leaving us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. It's safe to say that we will be returning to La Canela without hesitation to indulge in more of their delicious offerings. It was a culinary experience worth repeating!“

“We recently discovered this hidden gem, and we were absolutely thrilled with everything! Can’t wait yo try their Sunday brunch!For my kid's birthday party, we decided to order from Emi Rossi, and the pies were a huge hit with all the guests. It's easily our favorite pizza place so far!“

“Thank you Lior for making our dining experience fun and delicious! (The Three L's!). Our meals were so tasty. My husband got the scallops which he really liked and I opted for the tenderloin salad which was cooked to perfection. We love this place. The dish sizes are perfect and you really don't leave hungry. The small desserts are just the right amount to satisfy your sweet tooth! We will be back.“

“My husband and I were on one of my adventures. I was looking for things to do on our drive home and found this place on my Google search. I love mead and have tried a few different brands. We ordered a flight and our favorite was the Maple Oak with the Raven and Yuletide tied for second. I think the Maple Oak has a smokey smell that I loved.“

“We were at Botanero for Todd and Angie’s wedding last night and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! The amazing food, very attentive wait staff and great atmosphere made their evening great! It was our first time there and we will be back for dinner soon! Thanks for making their evening and ours a special one!“

“I visited this winery and thought it was really cute. It is more of a tasting room, and has wines that were blended locally but grown elsewhere. I think the names of the wines were fun and the prices were decent. The happy hour was amazing and there were a lot of people there to take advantage of the discounts on food and bottles. It is a smaller room and doesn't feel like a winery necessarily, but I still think it's a cozy place for after work or to catch up with someone over a glass of wine!“

“Food was excellent as always. Our server was very slow even when we were finished and the restaurant was pretty empty it took forever to bring our bill, pick up the credit cards, and return with the receipts for signature. Our server may have had tables in the bar but did not appear to be serving anyone else in the main dining area“

“Brunch menu had a wonderful variety of choices. And, the food was delicious & well-prepared. Of particular note was the tiramisu cake — excellent taste & presentation! I did find the prices of the entrees and sides to be a bit too pricey. I think a small portion of one of a side dish (beyond the greens provided) should be included in the entree price. Additionally, I found the focaccia offered to be tasty, but paltry in size/quantity. The restaurant itself is modern & pretty. But, sitting by the wall that is shared with the kitchen was noisy —- many bumps into the wall from the kitchen side. Service was attentive, but thought it a little odd that the waiter had to wipe down tables between diners. I will go again for dinner!“

“So depends on who is in the store when folks stop by. I just had a lovely "over and above" experience with somebody, pausing to take the time to look up a wine that I was interested in. Couldn't have been friendlier. The store really does have a lot to offer, with some tastings and two little tables where you can enjoy a glass of wine or a beer. I believe in supporting small business, and this one can use all the support we can give.“
