We went there to celebrate the 50th birthday of a friend from New York who was in town for the art fair. Abby was attentive, with good recommendations. She's such a sweetheart. We really had a wonderful time chatting with each other and eating the great food. The mocktails were excellent, and we decided on 2 sets of their special - a two-to-tango meal. The dishes were very generously served and delicious. I would highly recommend Eno Vino Downtown for any celebration.

I was staying in the hotel on a business trip and arrived later on a Sunday evening. Most of the…read moreother restaurants in the area were closed, so figured it was easiest to have dinner here. As a solo female diner, it's always intimidating to eat alone. When I arrived, I asked to sit at the bar, but saw free spots at the tables along the window. It was a beautiful night and I figured I was alone and could watch the sunset. I asked the bartender if I could sit there and she said yes, but I would have to order with a waiter. We'll I waited for a good 20 minutes without anyone checking on me before moving to the bar. The bar was really no better. Service was abysmal and the bartenders were not so friendly. The bar was also not well kept with glassware and napkins still in my space from the previous patron. I had to ask for water, napkin and utensils after my food came. I also had to ask for another drink, while the 2 girls next to me were attended to constantly. I ended up ordering the shrimp risotto and while tasty, it was too salty after a few bites. I'm giving 2 stars because they have a decent wine selection.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the host, who we later found out was a AG Manager Dillon. He immediately made us feel welcome. After we were seated, Dillon brought us water right away and let us know that our server, Kyle, was helping a few other tables but would be over shortly to take our drink order. We really appreciated the communication, as so many restaurants leave you wondering where your server is. We had seen the Date Night menu online, which included a choice of wine. Since we don't drink alcohol, we asked if we could substitute a pitcher of iced tea instead. Dillon was happy to make that happen, which was such a thoughtful touch. We also had a wonderful conversation with him while getting settled. Seems like he has a wonderful future ahead with schooling. Always wonderful to see kind and hardworking young matured adults. Kyle soon came by with our tea, introduced himself, and took exceptional care of us throughout the evening. He made sure we were comfortable, anticipated our needs, and even surprised us with extra desserts alongside our beignets to celebrate our anniversary. His hospitality was truly top notch, and he made our evening feel special. For dinner, we ordered the etouffe and the shrimp bbq dish, and both were absolutely delicious! There were so many other menu items that caught our eye, so we'll definitely be back to try more. What impressed us most was watching the team work together. It seemed like they might have been a little short staffed, with Dillon and Kyle constantly moving throughout the dining room alongside the bartenders and kitchen staff. Despite that, they never missed a moment. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about every guest. We even overheard other tables complimenting the service and food they received. This was such a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary. Merchant delivered outstanding service, incredible food, and genuine hospitality from start to finish. If you're looking for a restaurant with amazing food, exceptional service, and a great atmosphere, whether for dinner or drinks, Merchant is the place to go. We will be back for more soon!

I had dinner plans, so I just wanted to stop in for a drink and snack. They have some really good offers for HH and their cheese curds are half off. I had never had one, so it sounded like the perfect time to try. I got a glass of wine and the curds. They came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was a big bowl of fried cheese. They come with ranch and hot honey, and apparently they recently won best cheese curd at the cheese curd crawl. They were super tasty. Well seasoned, perfectly fried, and kind of chewy. I am not on the hot honey frenzy train, but I tried it and thought it paired well, just wasn't for me. The ranch was tasty though. Even the happy hour portion was hefty and I couldn't put down half. A little wine and cheese on a beautiful day, just makes for a good experience. They were making some pretty interesting cocktails behind the bar, and it is definitely worth coming back to try out their other options.

One of my favorites in Oregon, WI! The Wine Reserve is located right in downtown in a building that…read moreused to be an old bank. The owners did a fantastic job renovating the space but keeping the charm. There is a self serve wine dispenser as well as a full bar. Light snacks are Available including cheese boards, truffles and popcorn, and they have a fabulous back patio! Occasional live music and other fun events are planned. I have to say one of my favorites is that they open early on the first day of school and the last day of school for mimosas and bloody Mary's. There is parking in the back and two gender neutral bathrooms. Drinks can be pricy... but their lemon drop is worth it!

I'd definitely come back to try some wines and explore the menu again.

We ordered some food, including the beautiful and delicious charcuterie board and a couple flatbreads. I really like that there's a decent food menu including everything from $2 snacks to fuller meal options and desserts. Then we were onto our beverage choices. A couple of my friends opted for whiskey flights that they had been looking forward to sipping. And then a couple of us did the wine option. I didn't understand how it worked at first but it is very simple -- you get a little card to swipe at the wine machines and then you can choose whichever wine you want. You can opt for a small tasting pour or more of a traditional pour. At the end of the night you return your wine card and pay for whatever you had. I have heard of this type of wine bar before but hadn't tried it yet. It's brilliant! Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it was fun to try some new wines and whiskeys. I would definitely come back to enjoy the tots and some different wines next time!

I started with their Sweet White Italy, which had the most refreshing pear, apple, and pineapple notes. Light, crisp, and exactly the kind of wine I love. Next, I tried a Washington Riesling with delicate honeysuckle and white flower aromas -- just beautiful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax after a busy day. As someone who loves sweet wines, this place hit the mark. Great service, great wine selection, and a cozy vibe. I'll definitely be back!

They also offer wine tastings, and have a good selection of different seltzers & ciders. I noticed they also sell cigars if that's your thing. My girlfriends and I stopped in for some drinks on a Saturday late afternoon, and sat at the bar so we could see all the different bottles. I've been on a tequila kick lately and wanted to find something new I could taste before randomly buying a bottle. The bartender pulled a few for me to pick from and was knowledgeable about each of the brands. I ended up finding two new tequilas I really loved. There's plenty of seating inside at the wine barrel tables, or their long bar. They also have an outside patio area in back if you want fresh air. The place is very clean and I like how it's decorated with unique Wisconsin items. They don't have a food menu but you can order a Lotsa Mozza pizza, or can carry in from anywhere.

The pasta special was so yummy and the tomato sauce reminded me of my Italian grandpa's sauce. The owner, Dino, checked on me and told me a little about himself. Dining solo can be hard, but I'm thankful that the staff here made me feel comfortable. It was the best meal I had on my business trip and will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to this area!

The GM and staff took really good care of us, offering wine tastes, menu questions. This is pretty authentic recipes and some items with a twist. Must say it was disappointing to have a vinegar glaze drizzled on the pizza...it seems in the Midwest people love everything a little sweet? Not a good match for a savory pizza. There was fresh silverware for each course, offering of more wine and water. Never had a need. This I appreciate so much. Definitely check it out.
