When we discovered The Tasting Room we were looking for somewhere special to celebrate my Husband’s 50th birthday. We came to the Tasting Room and I contacted the owner and head chef, Nico, over email. Nico was very responsive and provided great communication the entire time, making the planning process much less stressful. Nico was able to accommodate all our needs easily.Once we got to the restaurant, we were escorted to a beautiful private room in the establishment's basement. The room was designed to resemble a speakeasy and had a large wine cellar in the back of the room.Once everyone arrived, Nico began to present a wine tasting to us himself. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and was able to present that information entertainingly. The wines he had picked out tasted delicious as well. Along with the wine tasting, Nico and his marvelous staff served a wonderful dinner consisting of Black Caviar, Olive Oil Poached Salmon, a wonderful Wagyu Beef Zabuton, and more wonderful items. Throughout the entire service, the staff was attentive and kind and ensured that we and our guests were taken care of.For the high-quality service, the price was also quite reasonable. We recommend the Tasting Room to anyone, and we will be coming back.

Great place to hang out and drink some delicious wine. They have a representation of some wine from their CA vineyard as well as offerings from around the world (if you're feeling adventurous I definitely recommend the Georgian orange wine). The servers are super friendly and happy to talk to you about the menu in depth, and the space itself is really relaxed without being stuffy. I'll definitely be back.

Rented out the basement for a birthday dinner and then proposed during the dinner. It went exceptionally well. Incredible experience we will remember forever. The staff did an amazing job communicating and helping things go smoothly.I am a regular here-My favorite place to go for a night out. Exceptional selection, exceptional service.The staff are super knowledgeable, you can trust them to pick the right wine for you. And they teach you a lot about the wine if you are interested.

This is the perfect neighborhood wine bar -- cozy and elegant setting yet approachable and knowledgable staff - they always make us feel so welcome, whether we're grabbing a quick drink while waiting on a dinner reservation, settling in for a flight and food, or spontaneously dropping in. Selections are top-notch.

Went in for wine, and ended up getting the escargot and Sake which were great. Nico, the owner / bartender is a gracious host. He takes personal care of his patrons and provides excellent service. Great vibes !

What a hidden gem in Uptown! Our favorite wine bar. The ambiance perfectly complements the elegant and comforting ambiance. Great place for a date, pre dinner drink, or just to do a flight of really great wine.

My sister and I came for the evening before we went out for dinner. I had this spot on my list for a year. Oh my word, it did not disappoint! We both ordered different flights and we were both very happy with them. I got the “Lisbon” flight and it was outstanding! My favorite was the vino verde rose’!! Incredible!!! I absolutely LOVED it. The service was outstanding as well. Very down to earth and friendly. The staff seemed to go out of their way to make it a good experience for us!Can’t wait to go back. (I wish the outdoor seating area had more pizazz but, not the end of the world. The inside was gorgeous but we wanted to enjoy the great weather so we sat outside. Amping up the outdoor area would be a great idea). The truffle chips were lack luster BUT the wine—perfecto!
