17 Best Wine Bars near West Park

“We all arrived hungry to a shockingly full parking lot. As an ex-industry person I can say we got our table touched 20 times here which was nice, but actually as a diner maybe a bit too much especially if the table touches didn't result in the proper service. It was a dark and stormy spring Saturday night, we arrived at 630, a half hour early for our reservation but were seated promptly. It took zero minutes for who appeared to be the bartender to ask us for our drink orders, while she remembered the wine and bourbon orders she forgot my hot tea even after we had a whole conversation about it. When our actual waitress arrived I had to reorder the tea and the timing on the warm up had about already passed. That being said I often order hot tea before dinner and it was pretty awesome that the hot water came in a separate metal mini kettle along with the tiniest tea cup in North America. It reminded me of Europe actually the tea cup was sooo small, maybe 4oz but the kettle had another 24oz of super hot water for me which kept me very happy throughout the meal.

I didn't get my honey with it though even though I ordered it twice with two people now. I was about to have to ask for the honey when the bartender ran it over before I could but then... no spoon. Not a spoon anywhere on the table actually, I gave up and used my fork for the night in the tea. When we were approached and my 80+yr old mother began to order our mains the waitress cut her off and left mid order bc she said the kitchen was calling her. Huge no-no as far as Im concerned, this alone looses them one star forget about the tea.

When she came back we were all happy to learn we all got salads and sides with our entrees, I ordered the schnitzel which was our entire impetus for the visit as I consider myself somewhat of a schnitzel connoisseur. My gf tried to sub mushrooms for her side but when it arrived the waitress had added it as an add'l side and gave her zucchini even though she didn't order it and I witnessed them having a conversation about it.

Our salads all came drowning in dressing with one rock hard tomato, at first I thought it was a full reddish, I love dressing but this was a lot even for me; the dressing was actually really good but strongly recommend ordering dressing on the side at this restaurant. I also got the rice which was very good. The schnitzel came in two pieces with more salad, kind of, just arugula and tomatoes not mentioned on the menu now no dressing haha.

Definitely one of the greasiest schnitzels I've had in all my days which was even more noticeable after I gobbled both of them down with a pool of oil left over on my plate. After being served our entrees we got 7 table touches from various people within 5 minutes. This was a lot, too much as we were finally all just wanting to eat. I didn't ever mention the late tea, missing spoon or drowning salad.

Overall everyone was lovely, the restaurant was nice and (dad had no complaints so) we were happy with our overall experience even though they seemed to be having a giant other party in the other room the whole time; unfortunately I just can't give them 5 stars“

“Love love love this place. Quirky, fun, amazing service, and creative food! Genuinely, they deserve a Michelin star“

“We had a beautiful meal here! We tried a lot of the menu and it was great for sharing. Everything we ordered blended so well together and it was coursed perfectly. The bread, crackers, cheese and jam were a perfect start to the meal. Every dish had multiple layers of flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly and there was a great spice to the polenta fries. The little gem salad was high on our list of favorites. Also, the decor was modern and cozy at the same time! Great experience!“

“Amazing wine selection (Beer and Cicer too) and unique foods. Their Cheese plate is scrumptious. The owners are so lovely and the atmosphere is chic. It's a great place to gather with a few friends.“

“The cocktails, food and our server Megan were all terrific. The Spicy Tuna on Crunchy Rice and the Drunken Noodles were fabulous! Highly recommended.“

“Wonderful music, food and great ambience. Highly recommended.“

“The Bocuse Restaurant offers an excellent French dining experience with beautifully presented dishes and attentive service. The student chefs and staff are professional, and the quality of the food is impressive. While there may be occasional small delays as part of the learning environment, the overall experience is outstanding. It’s a great place for a special meal, and I would definitely recommend it.“

“Had a great experience with our waitress Alexis .. Alexis had a great personality and checked in on us often. Food was delicious and portions were perfectly sized. Will definitely go back when In the area.“

“I love Knaus! I have purchased many pieces, including pottery, a slew of decorative masks, jewelery, and a beautiful photo that hangs above my bed. Always greeted with kindness also.“

“Great wine bar with great Sangria! Perfect place to relax after a morning of hiking or running!!!!“

“We've lived in Rhinbeck since 2002, and as many locals and visitors know, there is no shortage of fine dining in our small town! Gigi's continues to surprise me by expanding seasonally, each year with new, delicious, and varied menu items. They keep the local faves like the Barbina salad, Bianca skizza, and truffle fries, to name a few, but add intriguing and tantalizing menu items each season. Special shout out to mixologist Kelly who mixes superb cocktails, including delicious frozen saki and spirits drinks, all the while whizzing around chatting, laughing and, just like at Cheers, knows everybody's names!“

“Great place for a drink or three!“

“Prepared by the best chefs!“

“very good food and good staff“

“Cafe Vignetto is a family owned and run Italian restaurant where everything is made from scratch that will never fail to provide you with an outstanding dining experience. We came across it in listings on Google and Open Table, both of which listed it as "Exceptional" and they weren't kidding. We were greeted by a gracious and charming gentleman who happened to be the first cousin of the owner, who sai that he has been here over the past 10 years from Italy, and he made our entire evening memorable. This restaurant appears to have a core of regular customers, and if I lived in the area, I would be there often as well. It is located in a comfotable homey setting with dark wood and subtle lighting. The Menu is enormous, and features a first page of highlighted dishes, and between that and the remainder of the Menu, I would have been happy with many of the selections. Everything was prepared fresh to order, from scratch, and to perfection, with very generous portions. Each sauce was distinctly different and flavorful, and not reliant on a single house sauce as any other establishments would use. The service was friendly, courteous, attentive, and we were treated like family. At the end of dinner, we were presented with a dessert menu hightlighted with photographs of delights that all appear to be home made, like everything else there, so if you can, try to save some room. You won't regret it. Mille Grazie.“

“Really good sauce. Not too bold, and not acidic. I had the Eggplant Parm, verrrry good. good service. And the cannoli may be the best I've had in a decade.“
