13 Best Wine Bars near Berkley

“I keep returning to The Rind, which always features a few interesting and always delicious dishes. I order vegetarian wherever I go and The Rind never disappoints. The last dish I had was a morel-asparagus combination with a butter-based sauce and herbs. I've had the polenta for lunch and that, too, was really solid. The vibe is casual and the service is great. If you visit, keep in mind that you're getting a smaller portion than you might be used to. Nothing is overdone here - including the portion sizes. After your meal, browse Monger's next door for its exotic goods - licorice and chocolate, vinegars and tinned fish, and a respectable cheese case. This is my go-to place.“

“MBTB is a local treasure! The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for a date night, friends getting together, or even stopping in by yourself! They have something for everyone and the service has always been amazing. I love the commitment to Michigan products from the wine to the snacks all the way to the merchandise. They also offer so many fun events and classes and put a lot of thought and creativity into everything they do! I have been to all of the locations and each one is wonderful. Cheers!“

“Nothing bad to say, servers/wait staff were great! Will like return, even despite the 30-45 minute drive each way!“

“Really delicious. The menu is limited, which I think is a good idea as it allows the chef to add and remove items. The Suppli de Teli risotto balls are not your typical Arancini floating in tomato sauce. Your first bite is a mouthful of flavor with a slightly vinegary, black pepper, delicately cheesey and risotto flavor. Don't miss the cheese smear under the Suppli. It adds a light sweetness to the peppery bites. Truly an excellent appetizer. We also had the Polpette appetizer with a deep meaty flavor in the meatball and a delicious tomato ragu reminiscent of Sunday gravy in it's depth of flavor. They offer a meatball sandwich with these meatballs; we will be trying that! For our meals we had Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the Cocoletta (veal chop). The Alfredo sauce is made in the Italian style. Rather than cream, it is made with cheese and pasta water. Really delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a great chew and topped with black truffle ?. The veal chop was cooked to your preference and huge! Mine was med rare and was seasoned perfectly. I never even looked for salt or pepper. Delicious! The baby potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned and the asparagus was baby finger sized and grilled well. We were too full for dessert. The wine offering is small, but well curated. We had no alcohol this time. Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: The usual offerings: salad, margarita pizza, a pasta dish. Minimal, but you can find something to eat.

Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pasta. I didn't check to see if the pizza had gluten free options.

Parking: Parking on both sides of the building and on the street in front.“

“Visiting from Pittsburgh, PA - I stopped here on Sunday for the first time. Luke was very pleasant and accommodating. The tastings were awesome. I didn't have a chance to sample any of their food but I definitely plan to come back again.“

“My husband’s favorite place for Italian!“

“Our group of eight had reservations at The Capital Grille after church on a Sunday, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was excellent. There was no wait, and we were seated immediately.

We were lucky to have Daryl as our server — he was absolutely amazing! From taking our orders to ensuring our table had everything we needed, he was attentive and professional throughout. He kept our waters and teas refilled and made sure we were well taken care of.

The food was outstanding. The 22-ounce steak, Filet Mignon and Roasted Chicken Breast With Mushrooms And Parmesan Risotto was cooked to perfection, the Korean barbecue appetizer was delicious, and both the French onion soup and clam chowder were full of flavor. Everything we ordered — from appetizers to entrées — exceeded expectations.

The only downside was the wedge salad, which didn’t taste as fresh as we would’ve liked. But that small detail aside, the entire dining experience was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Friendly service, great cocktails and pizza!“

“We had a wonderful visit for my birthday and our waitress Johnnie was great. We were sat in the bar area which ended up being a little loud due to who else was in there at the time. We still had a nice date and our waitress was apologetic for the inconvenience even though it was not her fault at all. We appreciated her awareness to it. Our food was delicious from appetizer to dessert. We will be back for sure.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“We had a really great first experience at Beppé. My husband and I stopped in on a weeknight for a light dinner. We shared the croquettes, the beet salad and the rabbit pasta. Wow! Really tasty food, the standout was the beet salad on olive oil whipped feta. Really beautiful, thoughtful dishes using high quality ingredients. Wait staff was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We sat on the patio and had a really lovely all around experience. Will definitely recommend to friends.“

“I was looking for a place to eat in Royal oak and the options were slim. I tried this place
and this cob salad and chicken sandwich changed my life. This is the only place I’m going for dinner in Royal oak. The staff is friendly and are on point.“

“Great place, service is always above par. Our wait staff went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. Steak and shrimp was cooked to perfection. Even threw in an extra dessert for us to take home. Highly recommend this steak house.“
