The new owners have really turned this place around! I can see that they are trying to make things right with customers from 1 to 12 years ago that left bad reviews. Too bad Google doesn't just delete those when the business is sold to someone else.
Service was good and the place is well appointed. Food was delicious. Wine bars typically have a smaller menu, but this one really does have something for everyone.

So sad that this place turned into what it is now. I have never been so ignored by staff as I have been tonight super sad..... The wait to order was insane, the wait for our order to show up was even more insane. It literally felt like we were an inconvenience for showing up on a Saturday night.

Personable, attentive staff, delicious tapas choices, creative cocktails all in updated surroundings while being entertained by talented musicians at a sound level that still allowed conversation. We’ve visit at least once every trip to Bend!

Cozy, contemporary wine bar in wonderful NW Crossing. A small group of us were visiting from out of town. We were going to meet there for a glass of wine before going out for dinner. We ended up spending the whole evening there! Like most wine bars, the menu is limited, but the items we ordered were delicious. The service was friendly and fun! We would definitely return!

My favorite spot on the west side. Make sure to try the Bruschetta and the new cocktail menu (Smoked Maple Bacon Old Fashion is my personal fav). The refreshed decor is also classy and inviting. The staff is attentive, professional, and personable. Cheers to the new owners, they’ve done a great job making the space and atmosphere their own!

This place is absolutely beautiful, and was so much more than I expected. The menu offered perfect ways to try a little bit of a variety of things. Regardless of what you order, do not miss out on the mix and match bruschetta options!

Nice upscale wine bar with live music on Saturday nights (and probably more often). Friendly staff. The panini was excellent. Can't speak to wine selection as I had beer. Street parking is easy to find.

This is a must if you enjoy a great red/white in a very chill atmosphere. We enjoyed a French Merlot/Cab blend & a Côtes-du-Rhône. The staff were absolutely thoughtful and among the best I’ve ever experienced. The prosciutto wrapped dates were perfect. They will have live music frequently, so add them to your Socials.

Been coming here a while and the price increases are insane. They raised the price of all their menu items significantly. I understand inflation but these increases far surpass the current inflation rate. Their meatballs on happy hour went from $8.00 to $12.00. It’s sad because I really liked it here but I don’t want to spend $22.00 on mid bruchetta or $13 on a tiny bowl of Mac n cheese or $6.00 on a tiny cup of soup.

Lovely wine cafe with a lovely wine list and excellent food! Happy hours and locals night are killer!
Lovely, homey, comfortable, unpretentious. We enjoyed the low-key vibe and the servers' knowledge about pairings with each of our meals, as well as a single bottle that would work for everyone to enjoy together. I adore cheese plates and order them often. This is the first time I've had one plated this way, and I'm changed forever! Why every establishment doesn't present the cheeses this way, I don't know! ??

Our waitress is delightful. The menu is very limited, essentially a happy hour menu. Even the choice of cocktails is limited.The dry ravioli didn’t have much taste and was disappointing. The salad and meatballs weren’t particularly good. The bill was steep in view of the size of our order. We skipped desert and left quickly.

OMG PORTELLAS needs to get some different management or different food servers. The last two times we’ve been here, the service was mediocre at best, food was decent, but took 45 minutes to get a salad the first time and the second time we came. It took almost an hour to get a charcuterie board that shouldn’t have taken more than a few minutes. Once we got the food, we were never checked on again, and not asked if we wanted anything else or how the food was or anything. The restaurant wasn’t even busy and the server/manager only had a couple of tables.We ordered two drinks with just well vodka, not even premium vodka and it was $34 for two drinks. I know prices have gone up everywhere in the world but seriously?? I was in the food service industry for 25 years, so believe me, I know how it should play out.We are a group that gets together occasionally, and we are very friendly and extremely good tippers. Just looking for a great time together with great food and good food service Does anyone there know how to “read the room”? UGGGGGGGSuch a disappointment because the location and the atmosphere is very charming, but everything else needs a major improvement!!

The very attentive friendly service pushes this up to a four-star rating. food menu is interesting, fresh and good and a wonderful break after too much Pub grub around town. To keep prices moderate wines by the glass had a fair number of duds according to online ratings plus one or two we tasted if you're a wine snob like us. If you're not picky or enjoy simple fruity wine you might not notice. But the daily special by the glass Carmenere was quite good so we stuck with that. Bottle prices were very fair with modest number but well varied choices. Sparrow bakery is adjacent if craving ocean rolls.
