2023-12-03 06:29:33We just came back from a date night at Unwind and I can say without a doubt that its our new favorite spot! The food was AMAZING (Cauliflower, Caprese Salad, Brussel Sprouts & Cheese Plate). The presentation was beautiful. The wine was delicious and the service was PERFECT! I can literally think of nothing bad to say about this place. We went tonight so it was a Saturday (they have live music Friday & Saturday) and the music was great! The vibe was amazing and it was everything weve been looking for in a near by date night spot. They do brunch so we will definitely come back to try that, and bring the kids for it! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

2018-04-25 03:18:56Overall a good experience. Tucked away in the back of a strip mall, cool vibe and ambience with a lounge like feel. Good selection of wine. We ordered mostly small plates. Pate was very good and the fig and Bleu was delicious. Mussels were pretty good and the wings and develed eggs were good but nothing special. Would probably go back to try some other dishes

2023-05-31 14:33:28The food is great for LA standards.The waitress had an attitude about each item we would request, that being a straw or salt & pepper.NOW... We were there for my partners birthday. They did not bring her anything sweet at the end to celebrate her... however the other waiter was indulging himself a beautiful desert when we left and had the audacity to tell her happy birthday in between two bites of his decadent desert. No no no... that is too much!

2021-06-11 01:15:31Great experience here! I came when they opened around 430pm. Prompt service, kind greetings, great thorough service throughout my meal & dessert and I was greeted and asked “how everything” was by a manager! I loved my pretty drink🍹🌸🍓 pretty is always good! Nice mood music as well, lovely vibe & setting outside and inside, I’ll return to see how the night time vibe is, I imagine it’s just as pleasant! A lot of string lights & greenery outside! I like all those pretty cute things! 🎀☀️🌸🙂 I even met the owner in the bathroom! Lovely lady! Girl power!The chocolate ball for dessert was cool, as in its presentation, it was small, but still yummy!Thank you!

2019-03-31 23:39:29This place has been on my list for months. I couldnt wait to take myself on a date here. Alas, I would have expected this wine bar to be excited about wine and food pairings, to make it a focal point of the experience. That is not what this place is about.Pros:-This place gets an A+ for decoration. The place looks romantic when you walk in. Feels romantic.-Good house chardonnay-food menu has nice selectionCons:-I got the this is a business and could be any other type of restaurant and we dont particularly treasure food or wine here vibe.-The music was annoying. It was kind of like the music you hear at The Habit while you wait a burger: overplayed pop. The decor caters to a more sophisticated crowd so it just seemed out of place. Piano music or jazz would have been a nice choice. I got the sense they were trying to appeal to young people.-I ordered a house chardonnay which was good but it was served warm (!) in a chilled glass. Not to be dramatic but the combination was almost startling...I would have preferred a cold chardonnay in a room temp glass. Im not sure if he thought the cold glass was sufficient to cool down the wine but it was just odd. Hes lucky I tend to prefer my wine a bit warmer because it brings out the flavor more but this was too warm. Room temp.-As far as food, I ordered the mushroom flatbread and it was absolutely drenched in balsamic which is ok (usually yum!) except that mushrooms release a lot of water when they cook down, so the middle of the flat bread was very soggy. It interfered with the flavor of the carmelized onions, too.-I usually give poor service a bit of a pass because it is understandable that your server is human and may have had an off night but I was disappointed. I didnt get even one sentence of orientation on the menu. I asked for a house white and the server didnt ask me for clarification on what type of white. I had to ask for the happy hour menu (I only knew about it because I checked online). I wanted to order another glass before happy hour ended but alas, 15 min and I couldnt get the attention of any staff. The place was not busy.Take away: I would rather go to St. Augustine. They set the bar too high. Sorry guys. Step up.

2023-05-14 08:19:55Received food and had food poisoning for two days. Called the manager in regards to this and never received a call back from the owner.I understand things happen but this is serious when I comes to the food business. Other than that food tasted great but the handling of the situation has been poor.😞😞😞Lovely place with a great cozy atmosphere!Loved the pianist as the music is always nice.

2019-09-09 20:05:08The wine bar/restaurant is in a small strip mall. The decor is cool but its eerily quiet even when full. The food was ok. Not good, just ok. We ordered the bone marrow, brussel sprouts (overloaded with cheese) meat/cheese plate (skimpy), burrata/heirloom salad (tomato stacked with small amount of burrata in between) a few other things and the skirt steak. The skirt steak says it has a peppercorn sauce but it was covered in a weird cream sauce like a bechamel. I would not visit again based on the food. Also note, no liquor. Beer, wine and soju only.

2019-12-22 17:47:32The food and service was really nice. The staff were happy to accommodate my party with a larger table (we were planning to order a lot of small plates). We ordered just about every sharable there and they were fantastic. Their wine list was not large but others in my party seemed to enjoy what was offered. The atmosphere was on par with what you would expect. Dim lights, soft music, a good place for a date or a party. We will be returning soon for drinks and small plates at the bar.

2017-10-30 21:32:53Great brunch. The brakfast tacos with a bacon shell (yes, bacon formed into the shape of a shell) were particularly great. The kids loved the French Toast dippers. The happy hour menu looks great. Cant wait to go back.
