Every element was perfect from the candle lighting to the food quality to the wine selection to the place settings. Service was professional, courteous, and attentive. Adorable decor. This place exemplifies that high quality doesn't have to also mean pretension. Can't wait to come back.

Marinated olives
Su L.

This is a really cute little wine bar on an adorably quaint street in Kingston. We found out about this place through a recommendation from a friend. For lunch, they serve light sandwiches, and bite style food to accompany the wine. My husband got the salmon tartine, while I had the goat cheese sandwich. We shared the marinated olives. The food was served shortly after ordering. I ended up swapping the goat cheese sandwich as it was served on hero-style bread, which I don't like. The salmon tartine was served with creme fraiche, cucumber, and salmon roe. It was refreshing and tasty, but also something I could have easily made on my own. I think this is a cute spot to visit for the ambience and wine, but wouldn't recommend the food here.

Cute wine bar in Kingston! Lots of wine options and small food menu but delicious. We had the warm burrata and it was so tasty!

Brunette, you're a stunner! I first learned of this place through the website AndNorth. The space looked beautiful and their menu sounded fantastic. So when my partner and I purchased our new car and went for a celebratory drive, I suggested we go to Kingston and check out this lovely little wine bar. Well, we were not disappointed at all! The wine options are terrific, certainly a very interesting selection of biodynamic wines. Owners Tracy and Jaime have put together a menu of bar snacks that play well with the wine. On our visit I sipped on a slightly effervescent orange wine while we snacked on burrata and shaved fennel, kettle chips dressed up with trout roe on a bed of crème fraiche, smoked salmon sliders and Castelvetrano olives. The food was terrific while not overshadowing the wine. It was sublime the way great wine bars are and for days and weeks afterwards I was dreaming of the next time we can come back again. Hope to see you again soon, lady Brunette!

Trout Roe Nachos
Valerie P.

Loved Brunette! It is well decorated with lots of interesting touches, fantastic music, and the bartender was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. We snacked on the trout roe "nachos" which went well with our wines. The wine itself was very good and I appreciated their descriptions. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Kingston.

The quintessential example of a traditional wine bar. Warm hosts, great wine, beautiful welcoming space. Worth the trip from anywhere.

Stopped in after a day of kayaking, I had only been once before and I forgot how cute this place is! The vibe is very chill, it was a quiet Sunday night with only a few other people in the bar. Everything is beautiful and thoughtfully done. Had a glass of rose and a glass of the locally made cider which is SO good, I highly recommend it. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Kingston.

Noodles with egg
Mr A.

I went here on a Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend was have a wedding planning type party for one of her friends so I got some time to hang out by myself in Kingston. I parked and started to walk up the hill towards all the stores and peering through the window I saw people enjoying wine. Plus there was a sign that said wine bar. I go inside and was treated warmly by one of the servers(?). He told me I can pick a spot to sit so I choose a table all to my self. The staff member helped me quickly and told me of their special noodles with an egg!! I quickly said yes, cause noodles and eggs are always delicious!! He also said that the lighter wine will go with it. So ordered one. I got the wine, and it was phenomenal after about 8-10 minute wait I got my noodles!! Everything was wonderful here I'll definitely be back.

We had an orange wine that absolutely knocked my socks off as well as a bottle of German Pinot Noir that was to die for.

This was my second visit to Sonder, a total gem in Kingston. The first visit, we tried the…read morecornichon burger with tots, and the second visit was because I was craving that burger, this time with fries. It really is incredible. Juicy and fresh, and the cornichon touch instead of pickles is perfect. Last time was the dead of winter so we were inside with the disco balls and fun table candles that are a melted concoction. It's very clean, and in the winter the walls were dark green, and this time they were light green. Because of the amazing weather we sat outside, and the waiter Remy made sure to find us a spot that was perfect for our table of two. The string lights and fans were fantastic additions, it felt transportive. We always have the best experience with the servers, and this time it was Remy who was a refreshing delight. Fresh from France, he knows the wine and helped us make the best selection. He's hilarious and real, and so fun. I love the descriptions of the wine on the menu. Give it a good read, it's very entertaining. Pair it with the burger and a glass of vino, and you're set for a great night.

The bartender here is in her zone, she definitely knows what shes doing&runs her space like a boss!!!! We sat at the bar for a few drinks before being seated. The young lady (hostess) who we encountered for seating was the only who rubbed me the wrong way..no smiles, all business.."do u have a reservation " NO, & she just wasnt on her game I guess(Olivia?) But in comes Dan, our server, what a gem! Our food was great, my friend really enjoys his short ribs cavatelli, my husband ordered the half jerk chicken & didnt even leave a crumb! I had the maple glazed Salmon, and it delivered mouth watering goodness with just enough sweetness from the maple but not overpowering. Way to go guys, now I know to make this a staple in my after work rounds.

They have a lot of seating and a good menu price range. My favorite thing about the menu is that they have duck fat fries! If you never had your French fries fried in duck fat then you are missing out!!! Now I wish I could give them 3.5 stars. I highly raved about this place but the last time I came it was such a disappointment. Our waitress though very friendly was not very attentive. We couldn't find her when we needed things and when we asked for things she didn't bring them. Now I'm sure she was busy and we never complained but that mixed with the fact that our food was just alright made me drop it a few stars. Also the cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't the best, including the glassware. Now to be fair every other time I have come the food was fantastic. I typically always get the general tso fried chicken sandwich and I love it. So maybe it was an off day we all have those. I will go back again and see if they redeem themselves! Also I just want to make mention the sandwiches do not come with duck fat fries you have to specifically ask for them to be the duck fat ones.

Such a good deal, $40 for 2 glasses from their signature wine list and a charcuterie board of your choice. The server was kind and informative, very friendly and open to conversation. She suggested the board with smoked mackerel, served with warm bread, avocado crema, juicy cherry tomatoes and gherkins. Beautifully presented and so delicious. We loved our Pinots and of course I indulged in a second glass. Peace, The Happy Hour Huntress
