I ordered bone marrow, duck confit and crème brûlée. I accepted suggestions for wine pairings from Jimmy. And literally everything was perfect. Even the music!! It was wonderful.

My friend forgot her eyeglasses so just asked the bartender for a Cabernet. When the bill came there was a $28 glass of wine!! I asked the bartender for the menu and inquired as to which glass of wine is $28? The most expensive glass was $25. So he reduced it to $25. This place is not worth it.

Last weekend, the staff took great care of me and my date here at Vin Sur Vingt, my favorite wine bar in all of East Village. At Vin Sur Vingt, not only are you surrounded by a delightful ambience, affording you and your party the opportunity to connect over delicious wine, but you are equally and additionally fortunate to be in the kind hands of Hichem and Karim - the two men who ran the bar this past Friday evening. Seating us was no problem, and finding the right wine to drink was no problem as well. As a German, Hichem recommended the Riesling to me (which is already what I hope to order), and my date had adry rouge. To our appreciation, the two of us were then left alone for much of the night, enjoying the time to tell stories and laugh without fear that noise would disturb us. We left satiated and inspired. Thank you, Vin Sur Vingt, for another fantastic evening!

This charming French restaurant is a hidden UES gem, and I can't stop raving about it. The cozy ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The stew and steak frites were nothing short of culinary perfection - each bite felt like a journey through French gastronomy. However, a small suggestion would be to diversify the drink menu beyond just wine. While the wine selection was fantastic, incorporating a variety of beverages would enhance the overall dining experience.

I had dinner with two friends. We sat outside. Everything was really excellent. We started with the endive salad, a special roasted and raw shredded Brussels sprout salad, and duck liver pate. The salads were fresh and delicious, especially the Brussels sprouts salad. Pate was silky and tasty. A bread basket with three different kinds of bread was provided and refilled. After appetizers, one of us had a French onion soup that he really enjoyed. The other two shared a boeuf bourguignon that was probably the best I ever tasted. It came in a small cast iron enameled pot with a smooth and creamy pommes puree (mashed potatoes) on the side. We had three desserts that were all fantastic: tarte tatin with perfectly caramelized apples, served with ice cream: a really delicious chocolate mousse; and the best ille flottante I've ever had: the meringue actually had texture and was interesting, which I'd never seen before Our waiter provided absolutely perfect and friendly service. We were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and definitely plan to go back soon. It would also be a perfect place for a romantic date, and one of us suggested he would take his girlfriend there next Valentine's Day.

Let's start with the highlights. Vin Sur Vingt has excellent service and the ambiance is absolutely adorable. Low lit wine bar that has a romantic feel to it, great for date night. When we went, it was not crowded at all. All that said, I imagine on a night where it does get crowded it gets very loud. The tables are right against each other so this is just a heads up if you come with a group. They have decent wine deals and the food is cute/tasty but pricey. Expect to spend starting at $16 for a small bite (as you can see from the photos I posted with this review). It was delicious, but the portions are small for the amount of food you get. Overall, excellent and I would come back. They have many locations around the city and whoever is working can recommend different wines to you and will allow you to taste test wines before fully committing.

One of the most fun bars in the area. It seemed liked all the waitstaff was from France and had a deep knowledge of the wine they were selling. Great ambiance and a ton of fun...worth a pop in for sure
We were looking for a quieter bar when we found this cute place after dinner and absolutely loved it! This is a small place with service that was a little slow for our liking but definitely yummy wine that everyone was satisfied with by the end of the night. I got a red wine here and absolutely loved it even though I can't remember the name of it. Definitely a nice spot for a date night or a night with some friends. Ample space and comfy seating with a cute cozy interior!

Many of the wines on the menu were out of stock, combine that with the very small selection of wines by the glass and I was quite disappointed. French manager thought he knew more about French wine than anyone but I heard many incorrect things he said and then researched online later to confirm he was flat out wrong about things (e.g., he was adamant that Saint-Émillion was a Cabernet Sauvignon).

Highly recommend! Came here tonight to celebrate a friends birthday with some casual drinks and apps. Kir royale was perfectly poured! Wine selection was excellent and our server gave great advice on which wines would be best suited for each of our tastes. Cheese and charcuterie board was a little heavy on the charcuterie ratio but everything was delicious. Ambiance was chill, service was excellent. Will definitely come back the next time I want to hang out with friends and catch up over some good wine.

Gentleman manning the bar was very rude for no reason, and not in any sort of charming French way. TGI Friday Wine Bar with French aesthetics

There are so many amazing wine bars in This city and this is not one of them. We were greeted by a host that was friendly but bordered on ridiculing us as he mimicked our taking off sunglasses while walking and shaking your bum. My friend was greeted as "go México". Why? The menu is limited and very expensive. Bottle prices are inflated even by New York standards. The charcuterrrie plate at $60 was the most expensive we ve ever had and far from the best. As places around the city add fruits and nuts, dried fruit, spices, different presentations to their charcuterie board. Here was pretty straight forward and classic, the portions of 3 cheeses - Brie, hard cheese and a goat were quite small and the cheeses delicious but nothing exciting. Little gerkins were the best part. We couldn't get our water refilled, we didn't get any attention as the place filled up and there were only 2 servers, one of whom preferred flirting to doing his actual job. We paid over $40 for one glass and shared charcuterie and left to find some real food and more affordable drinks. Only one champagne on the menu at 30 per glass and $150 per bottle. With the summer coming. They better add more bubbles and more affordable options to the menu!!!
