One of our absolute favorite date night places! Enjoyed shrimp risotto this evening. Atmosphere is perfect to enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner. Full inventory at the ready! Don’t know which wine, the staff is very knowledgeable!

My service at the Wine Bistro was excellent. My dinner was delicious and had a lovely presentation. I was greeted by Dan the Manager who was asking all throughout diner how everything was. I appreciate there excellent service and making my dinner so memorable.

Came in a whim on Wednesday. I saw people sitting on a patio on a day when we had perfect Spring weather. I walked in and it was insanely dark and I wasn't aware where the host is. I'm thinking I can just sit anywhere then finally someone tells me to go to the host for seating. It was my first time so didn't know how the place worked. I imagine this place is really nice in the evening and gives off a wine bar vibe. I sat outside and service was ok. My server probably only cane to check on me twice. I ordered a wine flight and it was pretty good. I looked at their wine menu and thought there would be a larger selection of wine but nothing crazy. I ordered the salmon BLT and it was ok. I would come again for happy hour or maybe even for dinner but not expecting much.

The wine bistro never disappoints. No corkage fees Mondays and Tuesdays. The salmon is the best salmon I’ve ever had. It is cooked to perfection and paired so well. We’ve also had the tomato flatbread and the penne dish- both were flavorful and savory. Don’t forget the Brie, a salad, or the delicious French onion soup.The service is friendly, helpful, and attentive. The atmosphere is energetic, filled with conversations and low lighting, but not too loud to where you can’t hear your table.Lots of free street and lot parking options nearby. We never have trouble. I would consider it very wheelchair accessible.

Everything was perfect/outstanding until I presented my Open table reward card and the restaurant couldn't get it to work when they entered the number. They did honor it, but that never should have happened and soured my evening.

Just eat here for the first time. Took 20 minutes to get anyone to come to our table. Poor service, weak food. Would not go back. They did comp our drinks.

We went for drinks and dessert. The blonde brownie affogato was nearly rock hard and missing the candied smoked bacon. I mentioned it was really hard to the waitress when she took away what I didn't eat and she just said “oh sorry. “. Normally it would be served in a cup with espresso but not here. I would not recommend it. I also thought $20 for a 9 oz glass of Gewurtztraminer was a bit much. I prefer Napa Kitchen in Dublin

Service was very slow, the beer that my husband ordered was not even available anymore but nobody bothered to tell him that they just brought a different beer. The food was OK. Mediocre at best.  We didn't realize this was a Sister restaurant to Napa in Dublin. They have different names, but the menu is basically identical. Had I known this I would not have gone since I'm not a fan of Napa either.  To their credit however, they did comp us our drinks.

Love the food, atmosphere, and especially the servers, who are very kind and confident (shoutout to Ben for always having a great wine recommendation). Can be a little pricey, but for Upper Arlington, that is unfortunately pretty standard.

My mom was visiting Columbus, and I decided to take her to the Wine Bistro because the menu was calling her name!! What a cute and intimate restaurant. We made a reservation online, but we showed up about 20 minutes early and they happily seated us. We were able to park behind the restaurant, which was convenient. They have a cute little outdoor area that we would love to try once the weather is a little warmer. My mom got the blackberries and thyme cocktail, and I got a glass of riesling. I ordered the shrimp risotto and my mom ordered the hearts on fire salad with salmon. I also got a side chop chop salad. The salad tasted so fresh, and the risotto was SO rich and creamy. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will definitely be coming back!

My experience at the Wine Bistro was fantastic! The ambiance was inviting, and the wine selection was impressive. The sesame orange glazed salmon with vegetable medley was a highlight - perfectly cooked salmon with a tangy glaze, paired with vibrant veggies. The service, while nothing out of the ordinary, was efficient and professional, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. It was a delicious dining experience that I'll definitely be repeating!

What delicious food and innovative menu! The wine selection is amazing and more broad than any restaurant we have visited. We found the ambience warm, inviting, and the staff very attentive. This was our third visit to The Wine Bistro in Upper Arlington, and I will say we plan to keep coming! Thank you to The Wine Bistro for making our meals a very special restaurant experience!

We enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The menu dry red wine selection was very disappointing and our waiter was not very helpful. I highly suggest buying a bottle from the wall stock vs wasting money on a glass that will disappoint.
