I recently had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful wine bar, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing evening.The charcuterie board was a delightful array of flavors and textures, perfectly complementing the diverse selection of wines available on tap. Each bite was a journey through savory delights, expertly curated to tantalize the taste buds.While we encountered a small issue with the temperature of one plate, it was quickly and efficiently addressed by the attentive staff without us even having to request it. This level of proactive service truly speaks to the commitment to customer satisfaction at this establishment.Our server, Sarah, was an absolute gem. Not only was she friendly and approachable, but she also proved to be an excellent guide, helping us navigate the extensive menu and wine bar selections with ease. Her recommendations were spot-on, showcasing her thorough knowledge of the drinks and menu offerings.Overall, my experience at this wine bar was nothing short of exceptional. With its inviting atmosphere, delectable charcuterie boards, and signature drinks that tease the taste buds, it's the perfect destination for anyone looking to unwind and indulge in a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of what this hidden gem has to offer. Cheers to Sarah and the entire team AND MY HUSBAND? for making it an unforgettable evening!

Food came ice cold, ravioli glued to my plate from sitting too long. Marinara was good but was the temp of the fridge it was kept in. Was there for my whole 2 hours only was able to get 2 drinks since my server never came back. Young bartender or barback was TERRIBLE. Butchered every martini. Only good thing was the drinks were so obscenely over-poured.. saw him try to free pour only to add an extra several ounces into one martini that wasnt batched. Some tables less than arms reach away from another. Definitely not going back.

What a cool spot. Was here this weekend for my birthday with some friends. Our waiter Evan was great. Fun experience trying different wines. The California Chicken flatbread was to die for!

Have only been once and it will be the last time. Got the Mediterranean Board and Ricotta Dip to share with some drinks. Everything was buy at at grocery store semi-homemade Sandra Lee quality. Raw celery sticks and red peppers? Stale pita? Stale sliced white bread. Stale boxed crackers? Nothing was WOW that's good. I don't think they actually made anything themselves. For $28 for the Mediterranean Board...come on. Are all the reviews at this place fake?

Known for their self-serve wine bar and craft cocktails, The Shaker and Vine is a CHILD FREE venue, making it the perfect spot to take your Mom-friends for a cocktail or flight of wine. Adult time for the win!The seating here is great for groups of various sizes, with options both inside and out. We've found it a perfect spot for our small book club meetings, especially. The Reservations page on The Shaker and Vine website has a comprehensive list of the options, including seating options for groups ranging from 2 - 14 people. The menu is filled with sharable plates; you've got dips, flatbreads, sliders, tapas and charcuterie boards to choose from for your group spreads, plus a nice mix of dishes for the individual diner, too. I've had the pleasure of sharing the Mediterranean Board, Spinach Artichoke Dip, and Meatball Flight - each were a delight. [the margaritas were also fantastic!]

Love the specialty cocktails they do. Went with friends to do the Christmas themed drinks. Love the location right on the harbor.

Quinn is a fantastic bartender: very knowledgeable about what he serves. What really made the experience great and Quinn central to this experience is that he appreciates Gibson guitars. Also he is a whiskey
