27 Best Wine Bars near Elizabeth

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“ALWAYS a vibe whenever i pull up!“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“It is a cool, laid back atmosphere. On Fridays before 7Pm, the curtains are open and the together is flowing in to experience the beauty of the space. After 7pm is when they close the curtains and make a really lovely jazz club vibe with low lights and warm lighting from beautiful lamps. There us a DJ that plays at 8:00PM and the music is super jazzy but at about 9pm, he started playing some really good club/jazzy music. Really good, not too loud! The bartenders/servers are the most sweetest , kindest people and they are super knowledgeable regarding the wines and spirits selections. Shout out to EP! She's the best and she should get a HUGE RAISE or Manager (if she's not already)! Sis KNOWS what she is doing and a beautiful soul to boot. The small plates is pleasantly deliciously for what they offer. We had this fig jam, beef, arugula and cheese paying on their famous rosemary focaccia bread. It wa sacconpanied by with THE MOST TASTIEST truffle chips! My goodness! The Friday before last, I had the Bread and Butter. It came with the famous rosemary focaccia bread and this AMAZING compound butter that was paprika and rosemary infused. Their Happy hour menu is pretty good and the prices are very decent. However, well after Happy hour is over, they are still decent because when they are pouring top shelf-top tier, they are pouring. Happy hour is 4pm - 7pm. The drinks are always delicious and so is the wine. They will give you a mini wine tasting if you are just wanting to see what you might enjoy. There is a ton of cool seating but both times I was there I sat at the bar and I think that will always be my choice. The bar stools are more so open right after work between 5pm and 6ishPM. Overall. I will keep returning to Consigliere for the experience. The fact that it is around the corner from my job and I can unwind after work is a plus. But even if I didn't, I'd always choose to go there for a quick glass OR NOT for a quick glass, a few LOL.“

“Everything was beautiful , service food & decor !“

“It was my first time here because I wanted to have a wine tasting experience and I wasn't disappointed. This was a birthday gift for my daughter and she loved it! Cheers to Rebecca for being a fun and gracious host! loved it and we will be back!“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food and wine! variety of cocktails, appetizers and entrées. Spacious place with chic decor.“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“The atmosphere was very relaxing. Felt like a nice place to eat that wasn’t too crowded or overstuffed. The food was well prepared and left me feeling full and satisfied. I like that they update the menu to different seasons so I’ll return to see what new dishes they’ll serve next.“

“This is a cool Georgian restaurant in Newark, NJ. I stopped by randomly after shopping for an event. I tried Adjaruli Khachapuri for the first time in my life. It was pretty interesting in how it was prepared but it was tasty. I also had the creamy garlic chicken and some wine. Great for a solo lunch date or just because.“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“Excellent service and food. Accommodating for dietary needs. They even took our group earlier than our reservation which was much appreciated as we were all from out of town and heading home immediately following lunch. Roasted potatoes, chicken francese, eggplant parm and sausage with peppers all got rave reviews.“

“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“If you're looking for authentic Spanish food in Newark, Casa d'Paco is the spot to go. Food is served tapas style. The dishes are super flavorful, ambiance is great, service super welcoming. Prime time could be hard to get a table since seats are limited but totally worth going. Sangria was a little on the sweeter side but still very very good. Will be back.“

“The mrs and i had our first date here and come every year for the anniversary, about time i left a review for the awesome food and service they provide, drinks are immaculate and the most impressive parts are the improvements over the years as well as the service. most recently we were served by tiana (i’m like 99% sure that was her name if not im sorry) and she was amazing, great energy and timely service and it seemed like she was genuinely happy to be there. until next year house 157 never change (although they did take away the lobster mac and cheese which was my favorite they added a whole plethora of new stuff to try AND in general the quality went up. a worthy sacrifice)“

“"We planned a girls' dinner at ‘OSfizio and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The atmosphere and staff were welcoming and inviting, and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Gennaro was beyond attentive to our needs, recommending spectacular dishes and ensuring our plates and cocktails were full. We didn't feel rushed out at any point. We felt welcomed life family. If you're looking for great food, a warm atmosphere, and a fabulous staff, OSfizio is the place to visit. You won't be disappointed~ We can’t wait to go back!“

“If you’re looking for old school Italian, this is a great spot. They made it easy to schedule a work dinner for 9 people, and the service was quick and accurate. The Caesar salad was extremely tasty, as was my pasta dish, albeit a tad salty. The front bar area is also cozy and casual, so it’s a great place for an after work cocktail.

Parking: Close to a train station“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“We had a wonderful experience! The staff was amazing, welcoming and attentive . Their hospitality and attention to detail made our celebration truly special. We felt appreciated from beginning to end, and our family and guests had a great time. Thank you for helping us create such beautiful memories! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. We look forward to coming back again!“

“Excellent food and service. A hidden gem.“

“Fomos muito bem recebidos e o serviço maravilhoso! 5 estrelas á equipa do Allegro! Estávamos de férias e adoramos que voltamos aquase todos os dias! Parabéns ao Miguel e resto da equipa!! O salmão estava delicioso e o camarão maravilhoso!! Se pudesse dar 10 estrelas dava com certeza!“

“Great kale salad! Service was fast and friendly. Very healthy options with unique flavors. Surprised the rating isn’t higher here, but I was impressed with my order and couldn’t ask for anything better quality especially considering this is airport food- I’d be happy with this if I had eaten here outside of the airport!“
