13 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“

“Amazing staff, excellent collection of beer and wine, and great event nights.“

“The food here is exceptional, particularly the filet (perfectly cooked), the sea bass (how they got fish to taste like butter cream cake is beyond me), the potatoes au gratin, and the apple tart. The service was attentive, friendly. Two things make this really less than what I would expect at this price point: the ambience is meh. We were at a Bankhead booth facing a room where a party was happening, and we watched people go in and out the entire time. A man in the party kept eyeing us with a frown, and shutting the door. It was almost comic. Where else were we supposed to look? The other thing is one of balance...everything felt so swift. Our reservation was at 6:30, and we had wine, salad, entree and dessert, and were out the door by 7:25. For $240, having a more elegant environment with a bit of time to linger and savor would have been ideal. Still, the food and service were exceptional!“

“Our favorite wine bar. Great selection of both wine and small plates, excellent service with the manager saying hello every time we go, and all-around wonderful ambience. The outdoor patio is nice when it’s warm, but I love the indoor space, which is cozy and artfully decorated.“

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

“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!“

“Made a reservation in advance and had to wait 20 minutes past the scheduled time for the table to open. The BLT salad was a mess of things thrown together without any style or flair. The bread pudding was hard and unappetizing. Our waitress Daisy was great and very attentive. There was nothing special about the dining area that made me feel I was in a great place for a date night. This was noticeable as compared to other Firebirds restaurants I have been to.“

“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.“
