I have been meaning to try this spot for quite some time and this past Saturday evening the opportunity presented itself. First and foremost I love a place that has happy hour on the weekends too and Era does "Wine O'Clock" from 5-7 on SATURDAYSI was already impressed but then I found out that they extended their restaurant week promotion into restaurant month so, there was another special that I could partake in(YAY!) I will say that parking you have to pay for(BOO), but it's only $2 for 2 hrs and it's steps away from the door. Upon entry we were immediately and warmly greeted by the hostess, but we chose to sit at the bar as it was completely open at the time. The bartender Jamie was equally welcoming and got us our menus and explained all the specials so we could make an informed decision. So happy hour does include half priced signature cocktails which is an amazing deal at around $7.50-$8.00 per drink which is almost unheard of in this area. There's a select wine that is $10/glass as well. Now on to the food because this restaurant month menu was great for $65/pp you get an app, an entree and a dessert and the choices are great! We had the crostini flight and camorones chimmichurri for apps, the pan seared rockfish and shrimp linguine for mains and the prosecco sorbet and lemon blueberry cheesecake for our desserts. Everything was delicious and I'm happy it's on their regular menu so I can get it anytime I love the fact you can see directly into a very clean kitchen as you take your trip to the restroom. The staff is so friendly this spot definitely gives a local neighborhood gem vibe. I will say I wished they offered flights, but they do allow you to sample up to two wines. Overall a wonderful experience and they will be added to my rotation.
The restaurant had a nice feel as soon as you walk in. It wasn't very busy, but I assume that was due to the weather. There's parking right across the street if you can't find street parking. I attended for a group event with a pre-fixed three-course meal. For the appetizer, we were limited to two small bites per person, which honestly took me by surprise. The bites themselves were pretty good. Those of us who ordered the steak received it well done despite requesting medium-well, though the flavor was still good. The cucumber salad lacked flavor, and the shrimp pasta portion was on the smaller side. The cheesecake was the best thing in the course. The wine selection, however, was great; really good wine options. I'm giving it three stars, mainly because it may have been a challenge handling a large group. That said, the servers were extremely friendly. I'd be open to revisiting for a date night to see if the experience is different.
First of all, congrats Era on winning the Rammy's "Wine Program of the Year!!" It's a vibe here! Last week was my first time back in awhile. I'm glad this neighborhood gem is still here! We sat at the bar for wine o'clock! They offer 50% off cocktails and select wines for $10! I enjoyed the red! Jamie was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. She told us about their membership. Sounds like a great deal! I need to come back for brunch soon!
Been wanting to go here for a little while and so glad I decided to pop in here one day after work. It's a nice neighborhood spot that I think is perfect for solo outings, small group gatherings, or date nights. I tried 3 wines: a Dornfelder (red), late harvest Royal Tokaji (white), and a Riesling called sekt fitz Ritter pfalz. These all are sweeter wines and I enjoyed all, but I liked the late harvest Royal Tokaji the best. I also love that they don't just have light bites here. The steak I ordered was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. My friend got the lamb sliders and enjoyed them. We also got the salute charcuterie board that had smoked mozzarella, black pepper pecorino, gorgonzola dolce Prosciutto, bresaola, truffle salami House marinated olives, Lambrusco wine jelly, rosemary focaccia. It was perfect! We sat at the bar because originally I was interested in potentially ordering happy hour drinks (they have cocktails and wine for happy hour), but I ended up not getting anything happy hour related. I believe select wines and cocktails are 50% off at happy hour. Jaime, a lovely team member was behind the bar and she was very nice and knowledgeable about all the wines. She had great energy and a nice spirit as well. I loved it here and would come back! Definitely want to check out their brunch next.
It's quiet in a snowy Sunday but the environment is clean and inviting. I tried the South African Brut Rosé and while it was enjoyable it had orange wine notes that some people may not be thrilled about. Their wine by the glass list is quite limited and while it is my first time here, my assumption is it's rotating. Not trying the food this time around but it's likely I will be back.
This wine bar is absolutely charming, with an elegant and bright ambiance. Although the brunch menu is smaill, every dish was flavorful and satisfying . The staff was attentive, and the wine recommendation was perfect. I really wanted to take a bottle with me, but I was traveling. I would definitely return dinner next time. There's plenty of street parking available. We had a lovely date night here, with great food and friendly service. I also appreciate the credit payment machine brought directly to the table. The Seared Atlantic Salmon was especially delicious and definitely worth trying.
I really enjoyed my time here at Era wine bar. We had a birthday dinner here and it was fantastic. They had a small quite little room in the basement and we had it all to ourselves. Hors d'oeuvres were delicious. I really enjoyed my seared Atlantic salmon. It had a Brazilian spice and mango salsa on top with some basmati rice. The lamb sliders were pretty good. They had cucumber and red onion and Tzatziki on it that paired well.
First time here and we had a good time. The wine is great. And the waiter knew his stuff and paired things well. We went at night, next visit will be in the day to get there brunch.
Era Wine Bar is a fine gem that showcases rare and unique wines in a very fun setting! Their wines range from all over the world and vary in many different types, including many from countries that one doesn't typically obtain wine from in a normal store/wine bar. They offer wine from Macedonia or Bulgaria: case in point! The service is pleasant and their charcuterie, cheese boards, and desserts are really delicious!
There's a very ambitious, curated wine menu here, along with a curious food menu. I appreciate the attention to details and friendly service. Came to get a drink after work, ended up staying for dinner. Enjoyed two flavorful red wines: one from Bulgaria and another from Italy. Ordered samosas, lamb sliders, and sorbet with prosecco; found the meal to be pretty tasty. Upscale and surprising addition to the neighborhood, just over the DC border, on Route 1. Quality, sophisticated, not inexpensive.
Very nice and upscale looking establishment. Though Era is a wine bar, it does look the part of a proper dining venue. Myself and a friend made a stop here on a Saturday evening after hanging at another nearby establishment. We were greeted by a friendly host and opted to sit at the bar. Our Bar Host was equally friendly and very outgoing (wish I could remember her name). She made suggestions in terms of what we might consider ordering which was helpful. We ultimately chose wine flights and a couple small bites (bars). The food was very good and so was the wine. Somehow, I ended up ordering a pecan pie for dessert which I didn't need but was also delicious. All in all, this was a great experience and I would be really happy to go back. Side note, Era wasn't particularly crowded when I got there. I'm not sure if the "word" has officially gotten out about Era, but I do hope that more people patron this wine bar as it is really great.
Had the best experience here! We sat at the bar and we were served by Jamie. She was great and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was excellent, definitely will be back.
I'm happy I randomly came across this place. A friend and I met here for lunch on a Sunday and we were both very pleased with the experience. We came at about 3:30 so parking was very easy. It's just metered street parking. Upon coming in, I was quickly greeted by the host who informed me that the kitchen opens at 4pm as he escorted me to a table. It was empty when I arrived but quickly started to fill up around 4:30. Since it's a wine bar, they had a wide variety of selections with the option of a glass or bottle. When my friend arrived, the host who was also our waiter walked us through the wine menu. I saw that they had a wine flight selection that I'll have to try for the next time. For the table we ordered truffle fries and samosas (2 pieces). Both were tasty! I'd highly recommend the samosas though! For the entrees, my friend ordered the mussels which came as a fairly generous portion. I ordered the salmon which was good, but didn't necessarily 'wow' me. I was informed that it comes medium so I ordered it a bit more well (just my preference). The rice potion was smaller than I thought it would be but it helped in the end because I didn't feel stuffed. I couldn't leave without getting dessert so I ordered the chocolate mousse cake. I have to say that I am not a mousse kind of gal but I love chocolate- maybe it's the texture. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the cake was. It was the perfect balance of sweetness where it wasn't bitter but also not torturously sweet. Overall, I quite enjoyed my experience here. The food was good, service was great, the inside was beyond aesthetically pleasing and it's the perfect vibe for a chill meal and drink. I highly recommend this spot!

I've been to the restaurant next door on several occasions, so I finally decided to give this local restaurant a chance. I decided to order off the restaurant week menu for variety. The food was excellent and I was so excited to have another option so close. Then we got the bill, which really wasn't a bill, as it didn't have the line item amounts, just what was due. The amount seemed high so I asked the waitress if tip was included. Her response was a small service fee was included, but it's not a tip. To my surprise, when I got home, I looked at the bill that was emailed to me and realized I paid a 20% tip on top of a 20% service charge. I don't know if I'll be back. read more

I've had Era on my list for about a year now and I'm so excited that my partner brought me for a date night. We had a 6:30pm reservation and upon arrival we were promptly seated at lovely window table near the front. The ambiance is great it's spacious with beautiful tables, chairs, and a decent sized wine display. Our first server was great she offered suggestions for wine and the menu and she had a friendly personality. We started with the Era 75 and a glass in the Spanish , red that was on "wine o' clock", we also ordered the shrimp and avocado tostini's and truffle fries. The wine was ok it wasn't as full bodied as I expected it to be but my partner really like the era75. The crostini's were a 10/10 and the truffle fries were a miss as I think they could have been cooked for a few more minutes. The servers switched at some point so we got someone new and I think she was only person there. We both ordered the linguine with the first server but the second came right before our dishes came and we shared we wanted a white to pair with the pasta. She seemed a little less knowledgeable but she made a suggestion that I liked the Alvarinho. The wine didn't come out, I had to stop eating and wait. She came back after about 12-15 minutes to check on us and I shared we still had not received the wine. Another person came to check on us I'm not sure who he was but possibly the owner. The linguine was well prepared although a bit salty for my liking. We were warned about the spice level but it wasn't spicy in my opinion. Overall the dish was good. For dessert my partner ordered cheesecake. The reason I'm giving a 4 is because of the slow service after the servers switched out and because the kitchen became quite smoky a few times and I smelt like smoke when we left. I will definitely return and I'm looking forward to the patio when it gets warmer out. read more

A lovely little gem in Riverdale, MD. Wine menu selection was versatile, something for everyone. Shared plates for the consisted of the Crostini flight (goat cheese and caramelized onion my fave) Swahili samosas were quite tasty. Truffle fries were good, maybe an oil essence was used? I can see this establishment utilizing seasonality for menu inspiration in the future. Ka-ton was very friendly and informative. Looking forward to our next visit! read more
Era Wine Bar is a cozy establishment that is perfect for date night. Started by local residents the restaurant highlights smaller wine brands. I think it's perfect for date night or a small group The host was warm and inviting! I initially reserved for a big party but it ended up being three of us. I dined here on Valentine's Day and was only given the Valentine's menu I had been there over an hour before someone communicated that they were also serving from the regular dinner menu. My chicken dish was delicious though it just needed a tint pinch of salt. Overall, the dining experience was good. I'd like to visit when it isn't a holiday. read more
I had been meaning to check out Era Wine Bar because who doesn't love a good wine bar?! The wine bar is located on a corner with other restaurants and businesses. Parking can be tricky or it can be easy but that's most places in DC. If it gets too tricky you can just park in the adjacent neighborhood. I met up with a friend here for dinner. If you're coming here, just be prepared to indulge because it's not cheap. When I came, my friend and I indulged. I tried three different types of wines and all of them were quite divine. We also got multiple small plates because I'm greedy and want to try some of everything. The crostini, delicious, samosas, delicious. Just all of it. Our server was very personable and made good wine suggestions. I'll be back when I'm ready to indulge again. read more

They needed a little more sauce which they gave me swiftly Ambiance: Adorable. Picture taken below. I'll definitely be back. read more
I visited Era Wine Bar for brunch and the space is absolutely beautiful. They have a bar area, couch style tabling, and regular table options. The staff are very friendly and inviting, and they are very knowledgeable on wine. We started off with their meat and cheese plate, and ordered a bottle of Aslina (one of my favorites). The plate was delicious with Italian meats and cheeses, focaccia bread, olives, and jam. Next we shared the crostini and fries. All of the food was good, but we really enjoyed the vibe the most. We also found out that they have a wine membership giving you access to the cellar in the basement whenever the bar is open and when they do not have a private event. I also loved the open outside patio as well. It would be great for the summer to enjoy some wine outside. Overall, a great spot and we will definitely be returning soon. read more

What a cute wine bar. The ambiance is so eloquent and bright. The brunch menu is petite but did not disappoint as each item was tasty and satisfying. It is small plates. The wine let's go there.. we had an awesome recommendation by our server. He was very attentive and ensures that we enjoyed our selection. I wanted to take a bottle with me but I was traveling. Would I come back here, absolutely and maybe try dinner. You can park on the street and it is plentiful. read more

I worked there for a month.i thought the job was easy and laid back due to having Had little to no customers or business, I was hired as the second cook of a small kitchen that holds only 3 people. The dishwasher the main cook and me , little did I know they treat their business like good vibes only so you have to interact even when having a bad day they judge off your energy you give not the work . Your personality matters to them even though your job is to prepare items in the menu. The fact the business only receives 5 customers a day on a good day , they want everything perfect to them not your as the cook or customer . They believe you are not as good as you say you are in cooking if you cannot do what they can do. They don't BELIVE in training and bettering their workers beyond a certain period of employment. If you fail you fail. It's the wife who made the menu so The husband is very forgetful @ 50 years of age training you his way while being fussed at by the wife for not doing things the menu way the husband then acts like he said no such thing leaving it to look as if you're messing up . Multiple times with multiple people have this exact same thing occurred. He will argue you down that he didn't say what he just told you to do the next day during training.Owners also use home cameras for video and audio recording as spy cams for surveillance on the job everything is recorded and heard so the owners watch and work will listen in on phone conversations and the wife stays home only comes in to train they live around the corner from the establishment so majority of the time the husband just sits outside smoke a cigar not paying attention to what's going on in the kitchen. Not only is there a problem it's an AC problem in the kitchen. The prices are high as hell and not worth the money . They have an open kitchen see for yourself. Working around a leaking ac causing puddle on floors in a small space and customers come for the wine that's been sitting for years in the basement. I was let go on my off day with some made up excuse of me being late off my break 5 mins. They buy 90 sec commercial ad space on fox dc and now have no customers from the promotion and no Money to pay both workers long term but have a 5 year lease so will be open UNTIL . can't keep a cook , because they will not allow it nor anyone to be themselves only workers . They believe in speed and presentation not the taste to match the price. You are trying to impress them your whole employment rather you know it or not. I had a good experience to me I was blind sided with the firing didn't know I was "too slow" for one table orders . Or "my tardiness" was stopping or preventing anything . It just goes to show how hard up they are . You will be corrected every time you send a picture of your work for satisfaction thinking your way looks better. No sir that pisses them off . They want to be responsible for the complements and hear turning not the cooks work. It's uncomfortable to work in an environment like this one but I made it happen and soon as I started to get use to it they let me go. Good thing I have another job they made things very stressful and like I said only 3 at the most 7 orders a day . How can you mess that up if only working 6 hr shifts using first two to prep for the day. You never use what you prep so once it goes bad you will have to know and toss it if not it comes out your check or your fired either one. They believe this is how a kitchen should run. No amount of betrayal felt worst than that phone call on my off day to tell me I was being let go. After being complemented by a customer to the same man that fired me hrs later for missing 5 mins of break is insane. I didn't get a chance to correct my behavior nor explain as if they didn't care how respectful I was the whole time employed by them. I will continue to cook and provide for my family this storm will pass. read more
This is a fairly new Black-owned business that opened in early-ish November. I went once to catch up with a friend, but I only had some wine. But I was immediately intrigued by the vibe and decor of the place. It has a grown and sexy mood to it, and it's perfect for dates. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable of their wine selections. I discovered a new one that night thanks to them and it's top 3 favorite whites for me now -- the Falaghina. It is a drier and very unique white wine, can't really describe it outside of that. I didn't have any food that night, but I definitely enjoyed the space and vowed to return. I decided to do so with my parents for my birthday. We were going to sit outside, but the sun was going down and the temperature was dropping like a stone... AND the inside was completely empty, so we moved in! I had the pleasure of trying food this time, including lamb sliders and tandoori wings. Sidenote: the owner's wife has some Indian heritage, so there is some Indian food to add to what many would view as your standard wine bar menu. The lamb was cooked just right, and the tzatkiki and other ingredients in the sliders really set it off! The tandoori wings fell off the bone and the flavor was on POINT. Somehow I ended up having the same wine, which was as great as the first time, and my parents were really pleased with their wines too. All that being said, I hope this business continues to do well. I do wish they had a 'flight' option or a way to try a new wine that didn't involve paying $5 or more. Either way, they are top quality and I strongly suggest you talk with the staff before making a decision. Know your wines! And support black business! read more
New Year, same vibe... Check out this cute and quaint black owned Wine Bar nestled in Mt. Rainier, MD. You definitely feel like you are on a date when you enter Era Wine Bar. The atmosphere is low key, quaint and sensual. Although they offer small plates you will leave full and satisfied. The food was flavorful and tasty. They have an extensive wine selection. They don't offer flights but they do have 3oz, 6oz and 9oz pours, which is perfect for a tasting menu. Be sure to check them out for your next date or to Wine down with some friends. read more
Wanted to try out this new wine bar that was recommended to me by a friend and had a great experience. There is a very good, chill vibe and I actually felt a bit underdressed as most of the people there were in dresses or suits. A huge wine display puts a great touch on the aesthetics of the room. There's also seating outside that I'm sure will be used more when the warmer months come back around. If you are a wine drinker this is the place for you! They serve 3, 6, and 9oz glasses along with full bottles. They have a very wide selection of wines. We even spoke with the owner who gave us a bit of history on how they came about and how business has been pretty good since they have been opened. It was a very personal and inviting experience to meet the owner. He was hard at work and we would not have known he was the owner if he had not told us. He had a very chill, cool personality and was easy to talk to. Great service overall. They have a very short menu so you should probably come just for the wine or have already eaten. I had the wings and if you like Tandoori Wings they are must try! They were so delicious and came out hot just like I like them. I did have to pay for parking during the week out front but it was only a couple bucks and worth the few dollars in my opinion. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try different wines. The staff was pleasant and knowledgeable! read more

Visited last week and let me say-- I'm so glad to finally have a good wine bar close by. I didn't have one wine I didn't love. They have a great variety of wines and have a good amount on the by the glass menu available in 3 oz pours. The white wine (forgot the varietal) from Ridgeback Vineyards in Paarl, SA was my favorite. Soft music-- great selection, cute aesthetic. For dinner, I had the burger for my entree and the Cabernet braised mushrooms really set it off. I could have gone without the truffle fries. Potatoes lacked flavor and the Parmesan was just sitting on top. Recommend using a truffle oil for a light coat and grated Parmesan for more adherence. The cheesecake had great flavor but could have been colder. Service was impeccable. Every staff member was attentive, Samaj was our server and was great--attentive, made good recommendations, etc. Just a great experience overall. I might try the food again off the strength of the burger but I'd come here for the wine over and over again and try the charcuterie as well. read more
