    Baked feta dip
    Nikki C.

    Such a cute little neighborhood wine bar. The space is really small, but it has a cozy vibe and they've got outdoor seating for warmer weather, which would be perfect for happy hour. The wine was good with a nice (but small) selection, and we tried a few small plates. The wagyu, pasta salad, and baked feta were the standouts for us. The dinner menu is pretty limited, so I'd think of this more as a wine + apps spot before heading somewhere else for a full meal. Overall, it's a great neighborhood option for happy hour or a weekend stop before dinner.

    Food excellent, service beyond. Made us feel like we were in Europe in the best way. Wine pairings were spot on. Big fan, new regular.

    Wow what an experience! I'm in Charlotte for the weekend, and my good friend's colleague…read morerecommended we come here after dinner for drinks. There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

    Ugh, I so wanted to LOVE this place! It's in my friend's neighborhood and near some other spots we…read morelove. But it just hit me as average. It's a small intimate setting and I do love the dark aesthetic they did. Gives it a swanky vibe and makes a great date spot. But they were burning incense in the tiny space and it was overwhelming. The other bar guests sitting next to us agreed. *They did finally pick up on it and the staff moved it toward the kitchen door* Staff was friendly as well, though, it was busy and looked as if they had a trainee in tow, so attention was lacking just a bit. So why we came: The drinks were average to me. One was weird (Pineapple Fried Rice) and I just couldn't get it sit well on my palate - and I tried - sip after sip. But the mixologist saw my struggle and swapped it out for a different one. I did like the Don't Shy Away - it was an interesting take on a margarita with a strong carrot base. The Whispering Dove was a take on a Paloma and I couldn't find the lemongrass infusion on my palate. So I found it pretty basic, but pricey. So overall, decent. And I might stop buy if I was stuck in the area again.

    I moved from Arizona to Rock Hill, South Carolina a few years back and one thing I really missed…read morewas Postino's. I had gone to several locations in Arizona and they were all delicious. I can definitely say that this one is just as amazing! I've always been a big fan of their board and bottle deal and my favorite wine at Postino's is their Perfekt wine. It's perfect! If it's your first time here, you definitely have to try the bruschetta because it's the best I've had. You'll get to choose four different types among your board. My favorite bruschettas are the prosciutto and fig, the smoked salmon, the burrata, and the apple and brie. I also recommend the skewers. They are always cooked to perfection. If you're not the biggest wine aficionado, they also have cocktails and beers (and of course water, soda, mocktails). I believe they still do a special for beer pitchers and they have a good draft list.

    The food was absolutely amazing always amazing. The ambience was great. It was during lunchtime, so…read moreit was nice and serene. But almost 35 minutes after we had eaten I had to get up and go get the waitress because she just wouldn't come by our table to give us our check and we really had to leave and part of the service should be that the waiters and waitresses come by the table to make sure that you are OK and that your bill is ready. Should you want it

She was extremely sweet, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some really great recommendations. For drinks I ordered a NA rose. It had a bit of a dryer taste than I would have preferred as I'm more of a sweet drinker, but not bad. My friend ordered the Blackberry Sage and Soda and really enjoyed it. For an appetizer, we ordered the burrata. If you enjoy tomatoes, pesto, cheese, and bread, just get it, you won't regret it! It was very flavorful! We almost considered ordering a second helping! For the entree, I ordered the Atlantic Salmon with a side of broccolini. It was the best broccolini I think I've ever had! It was seasoned very well and had a smokey taste from the charring. My friend ordered the Creste Di Gato and really enjoyed it and the broccolini as well! For dessert, I ordered the sticky toffee cake and it was MAGNIFICENT! It was brought out warm and the flavor combinations were just so good! Right now, I'm planning to make room for it every time I come back and I most definitely will come back lol. 10/10 experience! Would recommend!

    I love this place. I've been coming here off and on for two years and it's consistently great…read moreservice and amazing menu options. Perfect place for pre or post dinner :)

    I will start by saying that the wines by the glass here are very overpriced, so next time I come,…read moreI'll def just buy a bottle. I'm a champagne lover so I grabbed the "cheapest" one by the glass (which is still over $20), but it was awful - it was very chardonnay based, which I abhor. I couldn't drink more than a few sips of it before I gave up and ordered the next step up of their wine by the glass. I was totally prepared to pay for both glasses, but my server was super kind and noticed that I ignored the first glass and ended up taking it off my bill which was very kind and I appreciated a lot (it's what made me want to come back). My sis and I also ordered some cheese and charcuterie, which was yummy, but I'll admit they could use adding some jam and mustard (maybe a fruit) to the board to make it a little less dry. We still ate most of it though! Ambiance was really nice as they weren't super packed when we went. It was fairly quiet people wise, though they do play their 90s r&b a bit loud. Our server the entire time was also really great. Very kind, attentive, and again I super appreciated that he saw that I wasn't a fan of my first wine. Next time, I'll be sure to grab a bottle, not any wine by the glass. I'd recommend the same for anyone else coming here given the prices of wine by the glass here!

    Tried some new tapas again this time…read more Brussel Sprouts (5/5): Well cooked brussels with a very tasty, sweet/tangy vinaigrette sauce. Bacon Wrapped Dates (4/5): These all pretty much taste the same but the blue cheese sauce/spread paired nicely with the sweetness of the dates. Gambas Al Ajillo (4/5): The shrimp was good and I liked how much garlic there was. Some sort of added sweetness would've been nice. Potato Tortilla (3/5): Kind of like an eggy potato quiche. I really liked the crust, but there was too much egg.

    Stumbled in close to 11pm on a Friday after striking out finding wine elsewhere. Barcelona was the…read moreright call, mostly. The bar area was busy but we managed to snag two seats on the side without too much trouble -- seat yourself setup. Here's where it gets a little mixed. My partner stepped away to use the restroom and I sat there for a while while one of the bartenders walked back and forth past me, clearly focused on closing duties, without so much as a glance or a menu in my direction. Not the worst thing in the world but when you're sitting at a bar alone it's hard not to notice. Fortunately another bartender came over, clocked that I was just sitting there unattended, and immediately smiled and handed me a menu before taking both of our orders. She turned it around quickly and that kind of awareness goes a long way. Shoutout to her. I ordered a 3oz pour of Syrah -- pretty decent, did the job. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that. The overall vibe was chill and low key for a late Friday night, which was exactly what we needed. Would come back for a proper visit earlier in the evening and give the food menu a real shot.
