14 Best Wine Bars near Wake Forest

“I planned a special outing for tea service here for a small group of kids. The owner was very communicative via email helping me understand what to expect, and planning our food selection. The staff on hand were phenomenal. They made each of the kids, including the 3 and 4 year old, feel like an important patron. They were patient as the older kids figured out what was an option for them. I was worried we’d be an inconvenience as a group of kids, but they genuinely made us feel like they were delighted to have us. The food was delicious, the tea selection was good, and the tea good. The lattes we had were great. It was an incredible experience and new for all of us. I plan to return for a full adult tea service, and highly recommend this place if you have kids who want the tea party experience.“

“😎Had a great time. Speak easy environment. Great alcohol choices. It was fun to experiment. Went with my family, and they supplied boardgames while we drank and socialized. Comfy seating. Stylish interior. Small, comfy place. The 1911 canned drinks were all amazing and we also tried caramel apple. So smooth, so good. Friendly staff. - Sincerely, Sawgrass Acres“

“Started off slow but finished off strong!

We arrived a little after 4pm on a Saturday. It appeared that there were two staffers - both very hospitable. We were seated indoors right away (with a choice of in or outside). We received food, wine, and flight menus, but there was a lag to have our order taken (probably 10 minutes). However, closer to 5pm, there was a clear increase in the number of staff.

We ordered::: truffled devil eggs, bacon wrapped dates, lamb sliders, bread/cheese balls, and a charcuterie board in additions to a few different flights of wine.

Truffle deviled eggs - I’d skip. Super bland and no sign of truffle.

Bacon wrapped dates - we received the first order and hit a second. It was that good!! Highly recommend you pair it with their Zuccardi Torrontes (an Argentinian white). The flavor profile is killer.

Lamb sliders - fantastic! Great grill flavor with perfect accents. Pair with the Casa Silva Carménère. Chefs kiss.

Bread and cheese balls - these were good, but unexpected. When they arrived, they looked like meatballs. Super savory and good but likely wouldn’t get again.

Charcuterie - great deal! We assumed that with the tapas sizing, this would be a smaller board. It wasn’t! Lots of different components that we didn’t make a dent in. Went perfectly with red, white, and rosé flights.

We purchased a bottle of wine to go, and the person helping us was super knowledgeable and helpful.

In all, the somewhat lagging initial service truly didn’t last long. It picked up quickly and was outstanding. Would absolutely return!“

“Our server Alexander did a great job! Very attentive and took care of us, as we needed to move to a different location inside the tests due to someone having on too much perfume. And, Myles did a great job of keeping our glasses full. Food was delicious, we had the bacon in Korean BBQ sauce and the beet salad. My husband had the sea bass, cooked perfectly and I had the sliced filet, also cooked perfectly. For our side we had AU gratin potatoes and they were tender and all was delicious. For dessert we had the coconut pie. Fantastic! A great evening out.“

“Live music 🎶, Great 🍺 🍹and the best Wings in Raleigh, hands down!!! You won’t be disappointed at this place! Come in during the week for some music 🎵 bingo or karaoke 🎤.“

“Wow! This was amazing! I’ve been chasing a quiche as good as one I had in Colmar, France years ago and this was it!!! I will dream of this quiche. Cannot recommend enough! Also had the best iced tea I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My husband got the French Toast and said it was amazing as well! The service was great, the restaurant was a great atmosphere and the accommodation for children was nice! We will be back many times!“

“Great food and friendly staff, karaoke was nice a touch 🎤“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“

“music should be in the background 'background music' unless it is a hard rock cafe, etc. else it forces everyone to yell or be unable to hear everything. i'm not going to write anything about the server since except for rudely condescending to an honest question about the menu, she did not speak to me the rest of the time i was there nor check on me, etc etc Fortunately there were several other staff around who assisted me during my visit!“
