Each time we've been there they ask about the last wine we bought and how we enjoyed it with food, etc. They take the time to get to know their customers and build a sense of community with everyone that walks into the shop.

Great hidden gym, in my opinion!

When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

The wine list is extensive and excellent and they now also offer a "take out" option - great idea. The bar is extremely busy, especially during the after-work hours. On my last visit it was almost impossible to have a decent chat due to the noise levels - and they don't even pipe music! The food menu changes regularly and includes a good selection of comfort dishes (pasta, bangers and mash), saladdy things and cheese or meat platters.

For some reason, even though I have these amazing places at the step of my doorstep it always takes…read moreme awhile to discover them, and another while to finally go to them. Such is the case of the Albertine Wine Bar. Lovely old wooden floors, chairs that seem to have belonged to a church, and its owner/ chef always having a glass of red wine at the end of the bar. There is an upstairs area which is decorated with photography for sale and chilled out tunes. Excellent selection of wine (130 wines from around the world), red Chilean 'Chocolan' is always our choice and the food is simply divine. A home-made feel, like carrot and pea soup, or duck salad, charcuterie selection, honey roast ham salad and amazing blueberry cheesecake. The menu changes on a regular basis this is one of the reasons you have to come back for more, and the other is to taste all the cheeses (about 20) it costs £5.95 for 3 cheeses of our choice, crackers and bread. Not a cheese connoisseur? not to worry, they are and can give you a guide as to what you may like. It can get very busy on friday and saturday evenings so get there early to get a good table, like the ones by the windows, or call ahead to reserve.

Lovely neighbourhood wine bar with seriously delicious bar snacks…read more Lovely wine list of clean, interesting wines. Don't expect to drink the boring old NZ sauvy b or bulk Pinot Grigio here. The owners also have a wine shop around the corner so if there is something you really want to drink that isn't on the menu, you can byo from the shop with a corkage fee. Snacks wise, there's cheese, charcuterie, other small picky things like olives and then my highlight: toasties. Truffle and cheese or nduja and cheese. Get both. Staff here are lovely so if you're a solo drinker, sit at the bar and they will make you feel comfortable. They also know a thing or 2 about wine. Also, this place is aesthetically beautiful.

On weekdays they do happy hour from 5-7 pm and their cocktails and wines are really cheap during this. We ordered an Aperol Spritz first and then moved on to white wine which all tasted good.

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem. We'll be back
