Upon entering the establishment, I stood waiting for about a minute waiting on hostess to approach us, and by the time she reached us, myself and my partner had already chosen a table and headed towards table to sit down. The restaurant had only one other couple inside, so it was not busy Therefore it was a little confusing why it took the hostess so long to reach us. The food took an awful long amount of time to be cooked while it was being cooked, The restaurant became smoky from the fumes in the kitchen. The drinks were horrible very flat, not robust not sweet. Keep in mind We ordered cocktails. My partner did not drink her drink, and I swapped my cocktail out for a glass of wine. The food was underwhelming. I ordered the lamb sliders. I'm assuming this was the meal that caused the restaurant to become smoky, there was a lot of tzatziki sauce on the mini sliders so much so in order to eat them, I had to wipe the sauce off and slice the slider in half. Overall, the restaurant was not packed. It was a total of four people in there, including me and my partner, so this made it a bit more concerning because there was no reason for there to be such long waiting,from the moment we hit the door to the moment we got up to leave. And to add with all the drinks and food being underwhelming I will not be returning.

I worked there for a month.i thought the job was easy and laid back due to having Had little to no customers or business, I was hired as the second cook of a small kitchen that holds only 3 people. The dishwasher the main cook and me , little did I know they treat their business like good vibes only so you have to interact even when having a bad day they judge off your energy you give not the work . Your personality matters to them even though your job is to prepare items in the menu. The fact the business only receives 5 customers a day on a good day , they want everything perfect to them not your as the cook or customer . They believe you are not as good as you say you are in cooking if you cannot do what they can do. They don’t BELIVE in training and bettering their workers beyond a certain period of employment. If you fail you fail. It’s the wife who made the menu so The husband is very forgetful @ 50 years of age training you his way while being fussed at by the wife for not doing things the menu way the husband then acts like he said no such thing leaving it to look as if you’re messing up . Multiple times with multiple people have this exact same thing occurred. He will argue you down that he didn’t say what he just told you to do the next day during training.Owners also use home cameras for video and audio recording as spy cams for surveillance on the job everything is recorded and heard so the owners watch and work will listen in on phone conversations and the wife stays home only comes in to train they live around the corner from the establishment so majority of the time the husband just sits outside smoke a cigar not paying attention to what’s going on in the kitchen. Not only is there a🪳 problem it’s an AC problem in the kitchen. The prices are high as hell and not worth the money . They have an open kitchen see for yourself. Working around a leaking ac causing puddle on floors in a small space and customers come for the wine that’s been sitting for years in the basement. I was let go on my off day with some made up excuse of me being late off my break 5 mins. They buy 90 sec commercial ad space on fox dc and now have no customers from the promotion and no
Money to pay both workers long term but have a 5 year lease so will be open UNTIL . can’t keep a cook , because they will not allow it nor anyone to be themselves only workers . They believe in speed and presentation not the taste to match the price. You are trying to impress them your whole employment rather you know it or not. I had a good experience to me I was blind sided with the firing didn’t know I was “too slow” for one table orders . Or “my tardiness” was stopping or preventing anything . It just goes to show how hard up they are . You will be corrected every time you send a picture of your work for satisfaction thinking your way looks better. No sir that pisses them off . They want to be responsible for the complements and hear turning not the cooks work. It’s uncomfortable to work in an environment like this one but I made it happen and soon as I started to get use to it they let me go. Good thing I have another job they made things very stressful and like I said only 3 at the most 7 orders a day . How can you mess that up if only working 6 hr shifts using first two to prep for the day. You never use what you prep so once it goes bad you will have to know and toss it if not it comes out your check or your fired either one. They believe this is how a kitchen should run. No amount of betrayal felt worst than that phone call on my off day to tell me I was being let go. After being complemented by a customer to the same man that fired me hrs later for missing 5 mins of break is insane. I didn’t get a chance to correct my behavior nor explain as if they didn’t care how respectful I was the whole time employed by them. I will continue to cook and provide for my family this storm will pass. 🙏🏾

I went there for my birthday and had a great time. The small bites were great and so was the ambiance. The bathroom was super clean. A little music would've really sealed the deal.

Very excellent establishment and service. More availability of classes/experiences could be cool!

If you're the kind of person who likes to unwind with wine, then this is your place. Era offers selections in the restaurant as well as bottles you can bring home. The Era team is very knowledgeable about wine and will gladly chat with you about your preferences and make sure you get a glass you will really enjoy. The snack boards are nice for sharing or make a fun meal.

This is a great place with delicious food and excellent service. The owners and their team went out of their way to make sure our Party of 20 was accommodated and served promptly.
You need to be telling your customers when you add the tip automatically before they pay. Unacceptable to be adding a tip with no disclaimer. I just hope the other servers are forewarning their customers. Unfortunately that was not our case. Otherwise great wine and atmosphere.

Outdoor patio is charming and just perfect for early Sunday dinner
We had 2 glasses of wine off the menu. One was $17 and the other was $16. Bill came to $60. On top of the tip we left, they surcharged us 20%. Absolutely disgusted with their tactics. Such a beautiful place, so sad for their raping of their customers.

This place is a hidden gem. Love it so much!

Totally taken advantage of. We were up charged and then never even told the 20% tip was already included. SO DISAPPOINTED. Lovely atmosphere but won’t go back. Taking advantage of your customers is NOT COOL. 👎🏻

It was the kind of place you'd like to go and get what you paid for. I loved it and my wife loved it. We are thankful for such a great service. Definitely a place to go back.

OKAY — straight up — I had had enough of the Maitre D’s attitude at the restaurant next door to Era Wine Bar, and made my way to Era’s instead. AND … what a nice place with really good food and a terrific wait staff across the board!!!
