28 Best Wine Bars near Kenilworth

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

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

“Came here with a small group before a concert at the Prudential center and it was truly lovely. EP was our server and she was AMAZING. She asked us our wine preferences and perfectly different wines for the tastes of our group that were fabulous. The cheese boards here are lovely and paired with fruits, jams and crackers. The paninis are nice light bights for happy hour fare. We walked past it after the concert and it was packed with a great vibe.“

“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.“

“Walked in without a reservation and were quickly seated despite the restaurant being very busy. Staff were super friendly and kind. Food was AMAZING. Like absolutely knocked it out of the park. The bread was warm and soft and delicious, serviced with a sun-dried tomato compound butter. The fried calamari was excellent, the lemon sauce thing amazing and the tomato thing also amazing. The winter salad was delicious. We got the caramelized onion cacio y Pepe, the shrimp bolo, and the truffle gnocchi. All were outstanding. The gnocchi were light as air and the sauce was divine. For dessert, the chocolate tort, carrot cake, and tiramisu were all decadent and perfect. We were truly impressed with how absolutely delicious everything was. Will definitely be back!“

“A great winery. We ended up tasting around 10 different bottles, and everything we tried was excellent. The reception was incredibly warm and welcoming. The blackberry fruit wine was fantastic. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and a great wine experience.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent service from the entire staff, especially the chefs. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was so good, the drinks were excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back!“

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

“The food and drinks were great, and the restaurant had a beautiful aesthetic without being too busy. As someone who usually dines in New York City but has grown tired of the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel traffic, I’ve been looking for great spots in Jersey. This was a great addition, and I’ll definitely return.“

“Beautiful corner restaurant with great lighting and even better food. The Georgian appetizers were all hits (especially the fried mushroom salad, beetroot hummus, and imeruli), and the service was diligent and warm. Super close to NJPAC, making it a great choice for a pre-theater dinner. Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“Great place! Really liked the deli and pizza selection. The bar was great with large space.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“I always love coming here, but Kayla is officially my favorite server! From the moment we were seated, she was so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our meal without being overbearing, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Great customer service can really make a difference, and Kayla went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be asking for her the next time I come back. Thank you for such amazing service!“

“This spot is a hidden gem. I’ve been living in the area for about 15 years now and just randomly tried this place one day, and let me just say it not only exceeded my expectations but blew them out of the park. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is nothing short of simply the best. I would highkey recommend trying their freshly house made pizzas, they’re finger licking good as well as their pastas which are chefs kisses. I’m genuinely amazed at how not many people know about this restaurant. The owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met, we talked for 15 minutes just about her business it was 2 minutes before they closed and she offered me all of the left over pizza they hadn’t sold that day FOR FREE. I’ve found my new favorite go to Italian spot.“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“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!“

“MoonShine has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and as someone with celiac disease, I was so impressed by their extensive gluten-free options. It's refreshing to find a restaurant where I had so many great choices and felt confident ordering. The Fire Roasted Hanger Steak was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The Grilled Pork Flatiron was another standout, served with haricot verts, bacon lardon, watermelon radish, and apricot mostarda that added the perfect combination of savory and sweet. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. If you're looking for a great meal in the Millburn area—especially if you need gluten-free options—MoonShine is absolutely worth a visit. We can't wait to come back!“

“Amazing Lamb burger! Amazing roasted broccoli and roasted cauliflower!! Been to a lot of airports and this was one of the best food options ever! So flavorful! ( Get the sauces on the side and if you sub out the fries for a side salad you're in for a real culinary treat!)😎👍💯💯💯“

“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!“

“ALWAYS a vibe whenever i pull up!“

“I love the atmosphere here and work just about once a week from here! Their coffee is delicious (personally recommend the amaretto latte—hot or iced)! I definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to visit.“
