Wonderful experience. The food, the staff, and the atmosphere were outstanding. Great selection of wine and homemade pumpkin cheesecake, made by the bartender!

Do Better
I have not had a single good experience here. Like someone else said, the restaurant smells gross. The service is miserable- it’s not the timing but the attitude of the people who work here. It’s definitely over priced for what you’re getting and there’s been a long understanding that the owners are terrible to their employees.
there’s so many good places in Saratoga- you can skip this one.

Was at the wine bar Aug 14-15. All I can say about Melissa and her team - first class! Food was great, wine selection was excellent! Casey makes an outstanding key lime pie!
Great atmosphere! Thank you for a perfect two days! All the best for the rest of the summer.

The bar manager/owner was extremely unprofessional. While I was out with my family and battling nausea, she came over to our table to tell me I “looked miserable all night.” She then crossed boundaries by petting my head and tugging on my hair, completely inappropriate behavior.
She proceeded to insert herself into a conversation with my boyfriend, and when I asked him to end it, she became defensive and called me a “typical liberal.” The reality is I had no interest in engaging with a drunk, poorly aged, brunette, 60-year-old woman who clearly has no respect for personal boundaries.
If this is how management treats paying customers, I would strongly caution anyone considering this place.

We were underwhelmed by our experience here. We came in on a busy night admittedly, but it did not seem like there was enough staff. The wait for food and even drinks seemed long. When the food came, it was enjoyable. The wine list is extensive. The mushroom dish was especially good. We did not realize that indoor smoking was allowed in the cigar area, which isn't far from the rest of the place.

We spent the day at the track on Saturday,July 5. Our dinner at an unnamed nearby tavern restaurant was disappointing to say the least. Later that evening, we walked the village with the intention of experiencing a live jazz performance jazz bar on Maple St. However, the rap joint next to it was so loud with an outdoor DJ rapper, that the cool vibe of the tiny jazz venue was negatively affected. Beside, the tavern was a sardine can on a hot evening. While viewing upon a number of dance clubs and rock joints, we were lucky enough to stumble upon the WB. We inquired if their was live jazz and the gracious hostess immediately guided us to the basement, a very subdued space conducive to allow for intimate performances. We were not disappointed as pianist Andy Iorio performed a number of popular songs from Billy Joel to the Beatles at a very high level. Of course, wine was paired with a small plate of gourmet rice balls to satisfy our taste buds. Not stuffy, but clean and classy is how I would describe it to my my hard working middle class friends. I thank the operator and owner for investing the time and money to create this unique venue. On our list!

The Winebar is kinda of cool but you smell cigar smoke wherever you sit inside. So if you like smoking stogies then this is place to come. We loved our charcuterie board but our waiter was not seen much. He never delivered my second glass of wine. Probably not returning as we're not cigar lovers.

Extremely mediocre for the price, plus you’ll walk out smelling like an ashtray

This place smells like an ash tray. They allow indoor smoking in the side room, and it permeates throughout the whole place. Avoid unless you want to smell like the fire pit bowels of hell when you leave. I was visiting for the weekend and now have to put my evening clothes in a separate bag to take home for fear of contaminating all my luggage.
The place is cute. The wine is superb. The service is excellent. But why they allow indoor smoking is beyond me. And I thought it violates the New York Smoke Free Air Act, but I’m not a lawyer. Perhaps they found a loophole.
Anyway. Unless you’re a smoker yourself, avoid this place to save yourself from dying of second-hand smoke.

A staple of Saratoga. The best atosphere you could ask for, great prices on wine, and a cigar area that you can watch movies and sports in. The staff is very friendly and helpful

Amazing experience and good food. Went on a Friday night, the DJ was playing great music! Stayed here all night instead of moving on to a bar after dinner

The Wine Bar never disappoints!! The service is exceptional as is the food. The mixologist can make you any concoction you like, and it will always be amazing. I have gone there with friends on special occasions like New Year’s Eve and the DJ, food and drinks are always spectacular ! The crowd is inviting and ohhhh so much fun!! The owners make you feel welcomed and appreciated. This is a rarity.
