Lorelei is just the CUTEST European-inspired wine bar! Upon arrival, you feel as if you've been…read moretransported to a wine bar in France, and, in all honesty, what more can one want? It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

I loved this experience and will happily come back to visit. We arrived the hour before closing on a Sunday, so the kitchen was closed. But we had a glass of a really nice Sangiovese and chatted with the servers. It's such a classy little spot with some truly amazing photo ops for the group. There were a couple girls taking pics outside when we arrived, so of course I told my parents they needed to do a pic as well. The food menu looked amazing and I will try some bites next time. The bottles of wine were more expensive than expected, but the glasses and beers were very reasonable.

It was nice being able to actually relax and enjoy the space without dealing with a packed bar or loud crowds. I do wish they carried Sancerre since that's my personal preference, but there were still plenty of great wine options to choose from. The food was phenomenal, and the trout sandwich was definitely the highlight for me. It was flavorful, well prepared, and honestly exceeded my expectations. Between the food, wine selection, and overall vibe, I had a really enjoyable experience here. I'd definitely come back, especially on a weekday when it's less busy, and would recommend checking it out if you're looking for a laid-back spot with great food and drinks.

The cutest and swankiest little bar, perfect for a date night or girls night!…read more I came in for my birthday and I felt special right from the start with a card that the staff signed. I ordered the Milk Punch which was delicious and a good balance of sweetness. My friend got the Margarita and also enjoyed it. To eat, we shared the Say Cheese Board which perfectly fit the vibe of the lounge and had a good mix of cheese, fruit, and bread (which they will bring you more of if you'd like). Definitely shareable and a great start. We then had the Gambas A La Ajillo which may have been my favorite of the night. They have a tableside presentation for it where they cut up the egg and shrimp, mix it all together, and then crush salty chips on top. The chips get a little chewy in the sauce and it's incredible! Lastly, we had the Risotto A La Amatriciana which was a fun take on a "traditional" risotto that most of us are used to. The risotto was in little fried balls, like arancini, and broken apart and tossed in the sauce tableside. Every bite had that crispy texture and was another great dish. 3/3! The ambiance was very laid back and I would love to come back on a night that they are spinning records. Service was great without being too overpowering, and the decor was beautiful. We sat in these huge comfortable leather chairs that I wanted to take home with me! Parking was also easy as there is a garage next door. Absolutely would revisit Sparrow and totally recommend it to others!

They…read moreproduce an incredible array of handcrafted wines, from crisp whites to bold reds and sweet dessert wines.

Pairing Recommendations: Every single menu item includes a specific Cooper's Hawk wine number recommendation, making it completely foolproof to pair your glass or bottle with your meal. What We Ordered & Standout Flavors The extensive American menu features a brilliant blend of comfort classics and artisanal creations: The Bruschetta (Starter): A table staple. Toasted artisanal bread topped with Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil, and a generous balsamic glaze drizzle. Simple, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Pan-Roasted Barramundi (Main): Incredibly moist and flaky, served alongside blistered green beans, fingerling potatoes, and a rich, savory crab-butter sauce that ties the whole dish together. Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops: Thick-cut, juicy, and coated in a crunchy pretzel crust, served with a heavenly mustard cream sauce and apple butter. It is the ultimate comfort food done at a fine-dining level. The Dessert: Do not leave without ordering the Cooper's Hawk Chocolate Cake--towering, decadent, and paired with rich chocolate ganache and vanilla bean ice cream. Service & Atmosphere The service at Cooper's Hawk is legendary for a reason. Even with the dining room packed to the brim on a weekend night, the staff operates like a well-oiled machine. Servers are exceptionally well-trained, deeply knowledgeable about the wine list, and maintain an upbeat, attentive pace from start to finish. The atmosphere is lively, sophisticated, and perfect for celebrating special occasions, date nights, or lively group dinners. Elite Pro-Tips for Your Visit: Reservations Are a Must: This location gets packed heavily due to its prime I-Drive positioning. Book well in advance, especially for weekend dinner slots.

Take a Bottle Home: Grab a bottle of your favorite wine from the tasting room on your way out to enjoy later!

It is woman-owned and located in the SoDo District. They have a great selection of wines and a large inventory of bottles for sale. The staff has been super kind every time I've visited, as well as very helpful if you are struggling with finding a wine to fit your palate. They offer various tastings as well. So, you can sample the wine you'd like to try prior to purchase. Again, as noted, you can purchase a bottle or purchase a glass of wine. They also serve craft beer if you are looking for something outside of wine to drink. Swirlery also hosts various events. They offer educational programs and community classes if you're looking to expand your wine knowledge. It is truly a top-tier spot that I am so happy I decided to randomly pop by one evening after leaving A La Carte - SoDo. It has not disappointed me YET!
