50 Best Wine Bars near Englewood Cliffs

“Food is fantastic, the wait staff is wonderful. Love the DJs and Disco Nights on Fridays and Saturdays. Great FUN! Highly recommend. The owner is super nice and the place is huge. It’s the perfect place for a party too.“

“Love this please try the tasting menu with friends so delicious!“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“We had an amazing night at Aria on Valentine’s Day!! We were a large group who felt welcomed and appreciated. Owner made constant check ins, he also had a pretty great sense of humor and felt like an old friend!! We loved the wine suggestions and the foot was amazing! The decor was perfect setting for our celebration!! We will definitely be back to this spot again!!“

“great service great food great atmosphere“

“First, I must give a shout out to our server Anastasios. He was very friendly and made certain we enjoyed our dining experience. From the attention to detail, welcoming service to the presentation and taste of every dish. It's clear that the team takes genuine pride in creating a memorable experience for their guests. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. I will certainly return to the restaurant.“

“Very lovely spot for a quick bite or a lovely chat with friends and beverages. Has a late night menu to ensure you’re not starving on your walk home.“

“We held our 63rd reunion here and it was perfect. Food and service perfect. Those who live in the area will be back. Grazie Frank!!!“

“I went here for happy hour. They had really good deals 7 dollar wine. Chocolate. Lava. Cake. Makes for an affordable place for a date or to go after work if your in Midtown area. Its harder to get a table if you have a big group so maybe reserve ahead for that. But really its cute and worth it“

“The food is simply incredible. Great mix of very creative (get the Cheez-It appetizer!) and skillfully prepared and delicious vegetables, meats, and fish. We ordered a lot of apps and mains to share, and would be happy to order any of them again the next time we go. Space is beautiful. I loved Loring Place which was from the same chef, and I can say this lives up to the same standard.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Musette Wine bar is a great spot, be it in the morning for some coffee and a breakfast sandwich or later in the evening for wine and finger foods.

The wine bar itself has a rather intimate atmosphere where it's nice and cozy in the morning or down right romantic in the evening hours.

The staff are all kind, amiable and are very happy to provide service with a smile. With the owner himself making appearances and checking in with customers to make sure they are happy.

If you want a spot that you can grab a coffee and bagle before work and a after hours glass of wine to unwind with, look no further“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall! In the best way! My son recommended us this Italian wine bar with real candles, lighting the entire restaurant and with a very romantic ambience upstairs! The food was phenomenal, our waiter was friendly and the wait staff was quick! I must say the hostess was a bit distracted when we arrived, while she was sitting on a table by the entrance on her phone. I think that looks unprofessional for “the face” of the restaurant. We enjoyed our meal and were sat upstairs aside not having a reservation. We will definitely be back next time we are in the city!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Good food, good coffee and just the right vibe! Visiting from Mississippi.“

“I went to Ella Social for the first time on Friday, December 19, 2025. The food was superbly seasoned and delicious! The service was top notch and the ambience was great.“

“This place is so worth trying I most definitely recommend!! To start they have such authentic Georgian food. The workers are friendly and sweet. The restaurant is so clean and so beautiful down to the details. The food is 10 out of 10, and the service is 10 out of 10!!! 🤍❤️“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Vanguard on the Upper West Side has become a staple for us since we moved to this area 4 years ago. The interior is so charming, the wine selection is always great (and rotates every season), and the folks who work there are absolute gems! Getting to know Isabel and Jacob behind the bar has been such a joy, and they always give the best recommendations. Don’t sleep on the charcuterie board and other light snacks - they’re all delish!“

“One of the of absolute best places we visit in Manhattan, super cute and charming. Incredibly friendly staff and very delicious drinks. The decor is super cute and my whole experience there was great 💜💜💜💜“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“The atmosphere was classy and inviting, and the food was delicious. My friend and I had the calamari, baked clams, chicken parmesan, and an eggplant dish, and everything was really good.
The cocktails were superb! I hardly ever drink, and mine was just right. The service was also excellent—the waiters were attentive and on point throughout the entire meal.
I live in the neighborhood, so I’ll definitely be ordering takeout and stopping by again for dinner or maybe brunch. It’s a great neighborhood spot, and I highly recommend it!“

“Fantastic service and wonderful wines!!“

“Quiet, tasty, and welcoming service. It earns its star (especially those sauces). The waiter may add some charm and levity even as the kitchen peels their little heirloom tomatoes. Equally solid for birthdays, anniversaries, and getting a nice quiet corner to yourself.

If you're into wine, be sure to look out for their semi-regular events.“

“Good food! Very flavorful“

“Addictive Wine & Tapas is a great place to go for an after-work drink, or for a light meal with great tapas. The wine selection is extensive, the service is great, and the personal attention from the owners makes everyone feel special.“

“Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“I’ve lived in the vicinity for the past year and this is one of the best bars around town! Not because of the cocktail selection but because of the wonderful staff that made me feel at home every time i walked through that door, Columns has always been like a second home to me and i can say that with confidence because of the people that took care of me when i was low.
Shout out to Hope, Tom and the lovely bartender Hellen!“

“Lots of fun….Get Jen as your waiter …1 of a kind!“

“Best place in New York, great people and great wine!“

“We ABSOLUTELY loved it. The food was fantastic so delicious especially mama’s bread!! The wines were divine 🍷 🍷 😋 The owner was gracious and the service was awesome- we will be back!!“

“I’m not a review leaver, but genuinely my experience here was top notch. My mom and I were celebrating a joint birthday dinner and trip, and the staff was super attentive, kind, and open with recommendations for us. The even brought out sparklers and sang to us, which was so beautifully over the top but still clearly from the heart. I can’t remember her name for the life of me, but our beautiful kind and perfect server will literally hold a place in my soul forever.

The steak, potato puree, and onion soup were highlights for me, as well as the chocolate tarte. I would absolutely recommend Steak Frites to anyone.“

“Highly Recommended !🙌🏻 ❤️❤️❤️“

“Yolanda and her team at OnThe7 is absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and drinks were perfectly made! If you’re looking a cozy space with live music for your small party (I had 40 people attend), this is the place to be! 10/10 would recommend. Did I mention how amazing Yolanda was?“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“Such a cozy little restaurant! It’s small, but the quality is excellent, and they also have a lovely little outdoor terrace.

The menu is a Mediterranean fusion with French and Spanish influences, featuring small plates that are perfect for sharing and trying a bit of everything. Everything we had was delicious, high quality, and you can really tell the food is homemade.

It’s a perfect spot for a romantic date, whether you want to have lunch or dinner, or simply enjoy a nice glass of wine with a cheese and charcuterie board.

The service was also very good and attentive.

Highly recommend the sobrasada bocadillo (it genuinely tastes like the ones you’d get in Spain!) and the lamb meatballs. Both were absolutely delicious.

Definitely a little gem worth trying!“

“best place to enjoy wine and food. Friendly environment and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Massi our waiter made an amazing working, food came on time, he gave us a warm welcome and entertained us while waiting for the food. We were celebrating Birthday. 5 starts to his efficient understanding our wishes. The receptionist and the floor manage all made us really comfortable and in a festive celebration day, classic, low profile and elegant.“

“Best happy hour in town, served by the most fun and attentive staff - especially Yasmin!! Cello is a staple for our girls nights, but also great for date night. We will of course be back! (Also - get the meatballs and thank me later…)“

“Got to enjoy the exceptional tasting menu just two days after they opened. The inventiveness at work here is matched by the execution. While the cuisine is much different, the sheer delight of it reminded me of my first time years ago at Charlie Trotter's. We went back the next day just to sit at the bar after a show and enjoy the unusual, and unusually good, wine-based cocktails.

July 2026 update: We recently returned and once again enjoyed an exceptional meal via their tasting menu.“

“Sooooo good and so delicious and great attention A+“

“We happened to be walking by on a Friday night and my husband pointed it out. Our pasta was fresh and delicious and served so quickly. The staff was beyond attentive and professional. The bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. It delivered on all aspects. We had Zeppole with lemon curd for dessert and it was unreal!“

“Amazing, conferrable, friendly place, staff is super swee🙏“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“We ate here last Saturday with our teenage children and the food was absolutely amazing. Great menu, fun drinks and good service. Reservations are recommended.“
