New menu and fun special
Joseph L.

Great place to meet for wine and food. Bartenders are great they, even have a sip and shop service where they shop for you while you enjoy your glass of wine and dine.

Are we allowed up on the rooftop too if we don't want to sit at the wine bar?

Hello Mary! Thank you for reaching out with your question! Unfortunately, our license does not allow for alcohol from the wine bar to be consumed anywhere else in the store. We do hope to see you at the wine bar soon!

Forgot to write my review but I came here 02-01-26. Caught a good deal on Groupon which lead me…read morehere. First time at a wine bar and I enjoyed the experience. It's a nice spot located in Belmont shore. It's very clean and spacious on the inside with couch seating along with tables and chairs. It isn't loud but they did have some music playing. It's a good spot to chill at with family and or friends for a few glasses of wine. It's also a cool spot for a nice intimate date. Had the pleasure of tasting 4 different wines; 2 whites and 2 reds. I enjoyed the wines. You can bring your own snacks and charcuterie board. The hostess was very knowledgeable of the wines, sharing backstories of where and how they were produced. It was a good learning experience also.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Delightful little wine bar with great service…read more The hubby and I came for a fundraiser for the LB film festival and we both thought it was a lovely little place. It was comfortable and casual, and seemed very popular with the locals. They didn't have a ton of vegetarian options, but we got the Baked Brie & jam with grilled bread and the Eggplant and Olive tapenade, also with grilled bread. I was excited to see escargots on the menu, but they were unfortunately out. We had glasses of a great red blend--alas, I didn't get the name. Service was friendly and prompt. We're not huge wine people but would definitely like to come back and try again on a regular night.

Wow! What a gem we found in this Seal Beach French restaurant! I had seen this place many times,…read morebut hadn't paid much attention to it. We were walking by yesterday and stopped to look at the menu and decided we would give it a try. The decor is very much as you would expect in a French bistro. There are blue checked tablecloths and art on the walls, and a long bar along one wall. There is a gourmet market attached, which has wonderful gift items (reasonable priced!!), and, of course French food products and wine (with win be tasting!!). I think one sign was that French was being spoken by many in this restaurant. We were greeted right away, and we're told we could pick out table. Our server came quickly, and was so nice and accommodating. We came in a Monday night, when select tapas, draft beers, and bottles of wine are 50% off. Neither of us was very hungry, so hubby ordered a French beer (so sorry--i can't remember the name) and we ordered a few tapas. We got: *Escargot in garlic parsley butter with warm bread *Soupe A L'oignon Gratinee * Lamb pops in wine reduction served with ratatouille *Beef bourguignon First, let me say that the food was amazing!!!! So delicious! There was so much garlic butter to sop up with our warm bread and escargot---deeeelush! The lamb pops were perfectly cooked and the wine reduction was also perfection. The beef bourguinon was the best I've had, and the tapas size, which is supposed to be a half of the regular size, was so big. There was soooo much beef--no skimping here. I know we will be back many times. We left so full and happy!

This was an authentic French bistro, with a big bar and tables where you can linger over lunch and…read moreshare a bottle. I will say that as a vegetarian, the menu was unfortunately too authentic--just like in France, it is tricky making a meal out of the selection. You can order croque monsieur, croque madame, French dip, onion soup, escargot, and frog's legs, but for vegetarian options, there was tomato bisque and a beet salad. Limited but good. I dipped into pescatarian realm and enjoyed very much the tapenade (olives and anchovies) with baguette slices. The family run bistro adjoins a shop with imported French snacks and small gift items. It also has a wine tasting room. If you are missing a taste of France, this is worth the trip to Seal Beach.

Art Du Vin is such a cute, low-key natural wine bar. I've lived downtown LBC for almost two years…read moreand somehow never noticed it before, but I ended up there for a date and it turned out to be the perfect Sunday afternoon vibe. It's a small, charming spot with a relaxed atmosphere. Just a heads up- there's no indoor seating, so everything is outdoors with a small patio setup. That said, when the weather is nice, it's actually ideal. It feels very laid back and intimate, like one of those hidden neighborhood gems you stumble upon. The employee working when we went was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a place feel even better. The wine I tried was really good, you can definitely tell it's natural wine (in a good way!). They also have small bites available if you want to snack while you drink, though we didn't end up ordering food. Parking is street parking in the area, which wasn't too difficult to find when we went. Overall it was just a really pleasant experience. If you're looking for a casual place to enjoy a glass of natural wine outside on a nice day, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

I absolutely loved this wine bar. Places like this are a rarity in LA County, and if you disagree,…read moreplease send recommendations my way. The fact that I've passed by this area so many times without noticing this little gem feels like a true tragedy. Though petite and easy to miss, this spot is something special. They specialize in natural wines, thoughtfully and selectively curated since they're not a winery themselves. The selection offers great variety, and because seating is limited, it's very much a first-come, first-served situation, arrive early if you want a seat. There's some indoor seating, with more available outside. The wine servers were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. They also host food vendors. There is a sushi spot right next door which is conveniently located next to the theater where you can score discounted bottles if you're catching a movie. Wines rotate as they sell out, so if you fall in love with one, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle before it's gone.
