25 Best Wine Bars near Shaker Heights

“We came on a Friday night with a group of 9. Michael the owner put together a few tables for us and was such a gracious host! We had a great time listening to music, drinking great wine, eating cheese boards! We will def come back!“

“Sad that I hadn’t ventured here sooner. The atmosphere was calm and exciting at the same time. The guac was impressive, and the chips were perfect…and then the food came.

I was not at all expecting to have a steak this good. I can normally pick apart a steak but literally nothing on the plate was anything short of perfect. The potatoes were next level.

What an amazing meal.“

“Great food! All fresh made in house 😋“

“Cozy casual but elegant restaurant with outstanding food and service. And to top it off—mama Cantena herself takes time to talk with all the customers.“

“First time! Excited! Heard nothing but compliments. The restaurant had many open seats. We enter and a person of upper management looked up and punched in something and then directed the server. The server, under direction took us to the worst place in the restaurant. My prayer was that it wasn’t because we were a family of color. I tried hard to disregard the thought as we were directed to sit outside the kitchen door. :—/. I was getting away from the kitchen. That was the last place I wanted to celebrate our special occasion. I asked for a different place in the restaurant that was housing one other visible couple. She was very happy to oblige us. When a restaurant is full, I can understand…. But this was far from the case. The server was 5STAR ! Food 5STAR ! I will definitely try it again with hopes that it was a mistake on the management part. My hopes…“

“We had a little birthday happy hour on the enclosed patio and it exceed expectations. The area we were given was perfect for our group of 15! The food was all amazing! The drink menu is really cool with lots of fun options, the passion fruit mojito was really refreshing. Alexis was our server and she was a rock star. She put up with my grammy telling her how stunning she was all night. Alexis is model stunning, but that aside, she was an amazing server, super quick, kind and attentive. It was a great experience and my 80 yr old grammy was thrilled! Thank you!!!!“

“We come here often and it's typically very good/great and this one was great! The swordfish special was a nice surprise and I would order it again and is a great choice if your appetite is small to medium. The Chicken Parmesan is a great choice, especially if you're extra hungry. The fall apple dessert was tasty, but it could've used a little more ice cream to balance out the flavors. Chris provided excellent service! “

“Definitely had to change and update from my last visit from a 2 star to a 5 star it was such a great experience. The food was cooked perfectly and the staff experience was definitely one of a kind. Everyone there that was working just took the time to make sure our experience was great. Definitely a huge turn around from when it first opened great work and thank you for such a great time !“

“Great food. A little on the noisy side. Popular spot.“

“This restaurant is very special. The food is excellent, beautifully prepared, and the wine compliments the meals so well. Juan our waiter was great excellent service! Great food, great background music and great wine.“

“Great food, Salmon, Striped Bass, and Creme Brulee. Bold beverages, Black Diamond and the Margaritas are delish! Service.was very hospitable! Thanks Ms. Charlie for the excellent service for our birthday celebration. You did a great job getting orders for 15 people. The Resturant had a private room with came in very handy.. I suggest that management hire and try to keep good staffing, so the restaurant can't continue to thrive, function at a high level and keep great people that want to working and help you stay successful !“
