My best friend and I visited this "wine bar" on Friday night and were honestly disappointed. We sat…read moreat the bar and were given a very limited food and wine menu. When I asked the bartender if that was the full menu, since it seemed odd there wasn't even a charcuterie option, his response was, "which restaurant has two menus?" Not the best start. Shortly after, when we mentioned we wanted to order a bottle, we were then handed a much more extensive wine list...which also included another small bites menu. That alone was confusing and felt inconsistent. We ordered a rosado from Spain, which we did enjoy, but overall the experience didn't match what you'd expect from a wine bar. The bottle wasn't chilled, and we noticed others in the restaurant had the same issue. Service was also lacking. The bartender never checked back on us, despite us sitting right at the bar. Overall, not the experience we were expecting. I'd recommend saving your money and going elsewhere.

Finally got to try The Rose and it didn't disappoint!…read more Excellent drink and food selection. Loved most everything we got. The Cabernet was a slam dunk. Empanadas, bomb. My filet mignon, delicious. Bread basket served with creamy butter, perfect. My friend also loved her oysters and split pea soup. The olive oil cake was great in flavor as well, only note would be that it was a little dry. But loved the sauce that was on it! Service was spectacular. Everyone was so nice and warming. Indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating area is so cute too. Absolutely will be frequenting this place more often.

He was so friendly and made us feel so comfortable. The shishito peppers, Jamon Iberico, crispy fried rice, patatas bravas, spicy Caesar, and basque cheesecake were all amazing! Meatballs were just ok, would reco trying a different main. Great wines (and they even give you tastings to try first) and they have Vermut on draft! Can't find that anywhere in the US and only in Spain. Such a great authentic spot! Feels like we are back in Spain. Great atmosphere as well with the beautiful design inside and the records playing. We will absolutely be back soon!

We had to walk down the alley from Lincoln or University to reach the entrance versus thru the front door of Caffe Calabria on 30th. It is confusing and they could use more signage since it really isn't a true speakeasy. Drinks on HH, all night on Monday, we're delicious and only $8-10 on select cocktails. I had the dirty martini and gold rush.

Stopped by after coming home from a work trip to get a late night meal and was so glad we did! Service was top notch! From the minute we walked up to the door to the dish recommendations, everything was so warm and welcoming. Drinks, both alcoholic and NA, were well-balanced and refreshing. Really opened our appetite to crush a bunch of fresh seafood ...speaking of... Wow. Just wow. Everything was so fresh and you could taste the ocean in each bite. - Oysters were freshly shucked and delicious without any of the add-on sauces/dressings - Carpaccio: not to say that it wasn't delicious. It's just that compared to everything else, this was just good. skippable tbh - Sardines on toast: another banger! such thick whole pieces that just melted away with each bite. yum. - Mussels (MVP app): wowwwww so good. Underrated. So glad our server recommended them. If I had to redo our meal, I'd have ordered 2 and skipped the carpaccio. MUST GET MUSSELS. - Beets were a refreshing change from the seafood. Open to other salads but def order one as a palette refresher from all the ocean - Octopus: perfectly cooked and not chewy at all - Potatoes: too heavy to end with. Not bad in any way but I'd skip this next time. Really only want a half bite. All in all, Mabel's smashed it and we'll be back 100%. Cheers, Mabel's!

On a casual walk around the neighborhood since I had parking which can be tricky. I found myself on…read morea very important mission: dessert. Mabel's has been on my list for a while I just hadn't made it in yet. The soft, intimate lighting and lively crowd pulled me in like a moth to a very chic flame. The hostess was warm and welcoming, and since the place was buzzing, we opted for the makeshift patio seating prime people watching territory. Inside, I noticed the layout has two distinct rooms, with one acting as a waiting area where guests can mingle and sip a drink before being seated. A nice touch if you enjoy a little pre-dinner social hour. Somewhere between scanning the menu and spotting all the seafood options, dessert quietly exited the chat. We decided to lean into the moment and see what the hype was about. After a quick chat with our waiter, we went with the octopus skewer and grilled swordfish. Now, fun fact I completely missed: it's a gin bar. This realization came after I confidently ordered a dirty martini like I knew what I was doing so I pivoted and reordered a glass of wine. Smooth recovery... mostly. The octopus was nicely cooked tender with a good char and the swordfish was... fine. Not bad, just not something I'll be dreaming about at 2 a.m. Overall, the dishes were executed well, but flavor-wise, they could've used a little more personality. A pinch of salt might've gone a long way. That said, I know their menu changes frequently, so I'd absolutely come back and give it another shot. And next time, I might actually stick to my original plan... you know, dessert.

They were promoting the movie Garfield at the time, so we got some swag as well. There weren't too many cats on the first level. We went upstairs and that's where there were a few more cats playing and running around. We ordered a couple of drinks, charcuterie, and flatbread. It was a bit difficult to eat our food since the cats would come around and want to lick everything LOL. Overall, I had a fun time here, but will probably skip the food next time.

Most cafes/lounges are in shopping centers and do not have the luxury of such a cool feature. I love how secure the facility is by having multiple doors to keep the cats safe and from getting outside. You can tell that the owners carefully thought out their space and the thing I appreciate the most is that you do not smell the litter boxes. I have been to a couple of cafes that smelled horribly and this is coming from someone that not only has a cat sanctuary in ATX, but I have had cats my entire life and you never smell litter box in my home or in my facility. Whiskers and Wine is a great place to unwind and spend time with beautiful kitties in need of a fur-ever home. I understand that some people do not get the concept of a cat cafe, but in order for them to provide such an incredible service to animals, they still have to pay the bills to house and feed the cats. The biggest take away is that cage free facilities are much better for the cats than when they are kept in cages at the local shelter or other animal rescues. Thank you for a great time and for all that you do to help cats in need!

Insanely chill vibe, which I so appreciated. Very impressive southern Italian-focused wine list…read more Ben is an outstanding server, patient and v knowledgable. Creaminess of the buffalo mozzarella cut through the acidic radicchio. Hints of mint. I was not expecting to love this dish as much as I did. The meatballs were excellent. The award-winning Seafood carbonara was pricey but worth it, kinda life changing actually. Deep, rich seafood flavor in an uni-based sauce. One of the better pasta dishes I've had in a long while.

I deserve it for sleeping on Cori for as long as I did, but…read morethat changed a few weeks ago when I strolled through the front door and enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner. After ordering a bottle of wine and to make my life really easy, I opted for the (forgive me for forgetting the actual name) set menu. That was a wise decision that took all of the thinking out of the experience for me and allowed me to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. The food seemingly kept coming, and coming, and coming. The portions were not the size of an entree but also weren't lacking in size one bit. Everything that hit the table was a big win and I really liked how thought out and well-timed everything was. Our server was so damn cool, casual yet informative, and really rounded out the experience for me. A staff member can make or break a dining experience and in this case she made everything taste better and better with each and every course. Once again, to have lived so nearby and never tried Cori is a true sin, one that I won't let happen again. Cori made a fan out of me and because of that, I'll certainly be returning sooner than later.
