We decided to give this place a try as we have passed by it so many times. New ownership took over 3 years ago and they are from Argentina. The menu is pretty extensive... daily specials, tapas, pizzas, and charcuterie boards. Something for everyone. Service is attentive, helpful, and friendly. The wine list is very extensive and they will help you choose. We shared a bunch of tapas. My favorite was the Goat cheese and Jam Bruschetta and the provolone cheese. My hubby loved the chorizo and papas bravas with spicy sauce. My friends enjoyed the escargots and meatballs. I also ordered the Spanish tortilla which I believe was overcooked and dry. They removed it from the bill. On Wednesday nights the Happy Hour is all night and gives you 20% off glasses of wine and $2 off beers. Lots of menu items to come back and try!!! read more

It's always a delight to have dinner there. So many choices and they're always so good. My favorite I think is the baked dates. Every time I eat them, they make me feel good. Service is great ambience is great. We go there when we want to celebrate something in our lives. I just celebrated my new book coming out in December of this year. It's a book to help moms raise more resilient teens, and young adults, called Confidence Matters! read more

What a hidden gem! We stopped in for some wine and food and were blown away. We started with the Brie on sourdough served with a delicious jam--absolutely perfect. Then we shared the Tapas Sampler, which came with six different small plates, each one full of flavor and beautifully presented. The ambiance was quiet and intimate--perfect for a first date since it gave us time to talk and get to know each other. The service was exceptional, with the owners personally taking care of us. They cook, serve, and make you feel completely at home without ever rushing you. An amazing couple running a truly special spot. We'll definitely be back! read more

What a delight! We tried Malbec & More for the first time. The wine assortment was varied and well curated. I opted for the South African Sauvignon Blanc and my husband had a Rioja. Both were excellent. The menu is mostly a nice variety of tapas. We got a Caesar salad which had the perfect amount of traditional Caesar dressing. We also had the meatballs served with bread and the brisket bruschetta. Both were delicious and enough to eat. For desert we had the chef's special "More of This". It could've been called peanut delight. It was very original, delicious especially if you love peanuts and plenty to share. We will definitely be back. read more

What a gem! Malbec & More in Lantana completely exceeded my expectations. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor you can tell they truly care about quality.

What a lovely and charming place. Husband and wife team really have it figured out. They're both from Argentina and absolutely darling. They had some delicious wines and we ordered several different food items. Everything was good.. I was impressed with how well everything was seasoned. I think a lot of people missed the boat on that one! The meatballs were delicious, the wrapped dates, Spanish tortilla, goat, cheese- and jam -bruschetta, and the garlic mushrooms. All were really good and again, the seasoning of every item was spot on! I was impressed; a lot of people missed the boat on seasoning. . It's a charming place and I will definitely go back and try some other items. read more

I went tonight just wanting something light. The tapas sampler fit the bill. A couple bites of six delicious goodies. Baked Brie, meatball, a caprese stack, garlic mushrooms, baked provolone, and a bacon wrapped date. Friday is happy hour all night, 5-10pm. It's a great date night, or girls night place. The owners are delightful! read more

What a gem! An intimate wine and tapas bar run by a lovely couple from Argentina. The dishes were tasty and the wine selections were perfect for the cuisine. There is limited seating, so reservations are recommended. My wife loved her escargot and we all enjoyed the mushrooms in butter sauce. I loved the Manchego cheese and jam flatbread. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. We will be back again. read more

The cheese and wine cafe is what I describe an "experience". Nestled in a small, unassuming strip you could not guess a restaurant like this exists. Almost immediately when you enter the space you are transported back into time. Everything from the fabrics, upholstered chairs, and tables are French colonial vibe. This space is delightful. We settled down on a table for 2. Justin is very attentive and methodical. He served food with great care and good timing, and he is very detailed with what is being offered. The restaurant has a very special selection of wine. I enjoyed my cabernet very much. The tapas/small plates menu is gold. We ordered the burrata which was plated beautifully. I really appreciated the bed of greens. The escargot was TO DIE FOR. The garlic butter was just right, without being too pungent. My friend and I mopped it all with crostini. The fried manchego was absolutely delicious, especially when eaten with the jam. My friend ordered the smoked salmon sandwich, and she was very pleased. The bread was fresh with a crispy exterior, and the fillings were appropriately portioned. The quality of salmon used was excellent and fresh. We ended our meal on a high note with a slice of blueberry cheesecake and Oreo chocolate ball. I highly recommend the Oreo chocolate ball with a glass of wine, it is dense and soo chocolatey and dreamy! You can eat it in small pieces as you sip away. The blueberry pie was FANTASTIC. The crust, filling, everything was on point. We had the opportunity to talk with the owner Justin a bit and learn more about the space. If you are looking to share a special meal with friends, look no further!! I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to visit again! read more

We came for a friends birthday dinner. Tried the restaurant because i had seen some good reviews. The restaurant did not disappoint. Two couples- we both had 4 dishes and all eight were hits. Meatballs were truly Mama's homemade. Great wine selection and they have a Thursday special-50% off bottles of wine. We will be back! read more

Service was Excellent and the Ambiance was very nice. We ordered two glasses of open wine for $30. Our server made sure he knew what we liked in wine and made a couple of nice recommendations. The pours were standard 5 oz. We ordered the Baked Dates as an appetizer for $16. They were wrapped in bacon and delicious. We ordered the braised short ribs in reduction sauce for $44. They were not served on the bone, there was no sear, and they were not tender. The reduction sauce resembled traditional brown gravy. The meal came with a side dish and I ordered a garden salad which was chopped and served with a delicious lemon olive oil dressing. No bread was served with the entree, and we did not see it listed on the menu. We also ordered the Tapas Sampler for $26. It was good, and sized as an appetizer. read more

Chef Carlos and his wife Daniella have created a unique, warm, welcoming vibe in this charming little place. The wine selection is wonderful and the food is delicious! Everything is made fresh from scratch and served warm from the oven. Since I have gluten sensitivity, I particularly love that they specialize in serving sourdough -- which Carlos makes fresh daily -- with their tapas and pizzas. read more

This hidden gem is a one of kind place! We decided to check it out after hearing a raving recommendation from our neighbors and we were so delighted! We decided to sit at the wine bar and try and Oregon Pinot (my fave) and sample some of the tapas. We tried the meatballs, fried manchego cheese with jam and the bacon wrapped dates. The meatballs were AMAZING! With a mixture of Italian sausage and beef with a hint of cayenne pepper; the flavor literally explodes in your mouth. The manchego cheese was also so delicate and airy. And, who does love bacon wrapped dates (also lovely) To top it off the owner, presented us with peanut butter Oreo ball that was out of bounds heavenly! Seriously, I have never tasted such an ooey gooey, mind-blowing dessert in my entire life! Definitely worth checking out this precious place for some fab wine and wonderful eats! read more

Had a wonderful dinner tonight at the Cheese and Wine Cafe. Great food, fantastic wine offerings. A really best kept secret in the palm Beaches. read more

This is a cool little wine bar. Some of their food is made from scratch and some is not. However, all of of our meals were delicious. This is our second time here in the past two weeks, and we enjoyed the consistency of their meals and the value of the wine specials. These are the kind of small business owners that deserve our business. read more

Adorable spot - definitely worth checking out - you feel like you're in someone's home. It's so comfy, the food is homemade and the owner is super nice! We came in early enough that we were able to get a nice table with the giant king and queen plush seats. They have a regular menu, daily specials, and another menu on top of that - all had amazing selections. Their wine menu is ok - which it would have more unique selections, and was a bit more extensive - but I think the owner will get there (and the pricing is very reasonable, yay). He (the owner) said the food was homemade and bragged a bit about his's mom's lasagna (poor woman probably wants to retire, and now he has her making lasagna for him all day, joking). Anyway, the tapas menu had a lot of amazing choices, so we'll have to come back soon. We ordered the Greek triangles with homemade tzatziki to start, along with the pita bread with chicken and pesto. Both were great, I was very impressed! We also ordered a bottle of unoaked Chardonnay, which was very good - and 50% off, so heck yah! Owner was such a nice guy and so appreciative of our business. The place started to get pretty busy around 7:30/8pm, so we decked out, but we'll be back again soon! Highly recommend! read more

Guess it just wasn't our night. This place is small and cozy, but it was still difficult to get decent service. The group sitting outside (with only water in front of them) actually came inside after a half hour to find someone to see what was going on with their orders. We got there and took the only open table. We waited ten minutes (trying to flag someone down) just to get some menus. My husband was able to order a glass of wine. We decided to share an order of burrata from their tapas/small plates menu. It took quite awhile to get there. When it did come, it was fine. A small round piece of cheese on top of some mixed greens with a bit of balsamic and some pesto. It would have been nice to have had some bread served with it. We hadn't ordered our main meal, when another server tried to take away our menus. Seems they only have a few printed and didn't have enough to go around. A couple was seated at the bar directly behind me. And I mean directly. So much so that I couldn't move my chair back or in any direction. The marble tables are heavy so that it couldn't be pulled forward either. It was a bit claustrophobic. We finally flagged our server down to order another dish. We chose again from the small plates menu, as we figured these dishes might be faster to receive. We ordered their baked chicken wings in a lemon marinade. Again... a very long wait to receive them. There were five wings in the order. The marinade was the best part. Unfortunately, the wings weren't cooked enough on the outside, so the skin was a bit fatty. Had they been run under a broiler or crisped first, it would have been quite good. By this time, we were frankly tired of sitting. Each encounter took excruciatingly long to fulfill. And it seemed our server disappeared between any contact. I finally decided that maybe if I stood up someone would get the hint that we needed our check. I won't go into details of how we figured out if I turned sideways I might get UN-wedged. Anyhow, as I stood by the table we were finally seen by the chef? Owner? And asked what we needed. We decided it would be faster to go to the counter to pay -- which we did. He was apologetic, but it was a little bit too late. If you're going with a group and want to leisurely spend a couple hours chatting over your (expensive) bottles of wine, then that's one thing. But if you come for just a glass and some food, make sure you aren't hungry or planning on doing anything else that evening. read more
