Rainy Days recently opened in a shopping center and is labeled as a speakeasy-style wine bar. I was…read moregenuinely excited to check it out, especially since having a wine bar closer to home sounded great--most places around here require a drive. Unfortunately, my experience was highly disappointing. I visited on a Friday night and it didn't deliver the wine bar or speakeasy vibe it advertises. They were showing sports on the TV, and the music was so loud that I couldn't even hear my partner across the table from me. Between the TVs and the volume, it felt more like a sports bar than a cozy wine spot. The space itself also took away from the ambiance. There are large windows where you can clearly see outside and everyone can see in, and the lighting was extremely bright. For a nighttime setting, it lacked any warmth or cozy, intimate feel. Because of this, our date was cut short and we left shortly after arriving. We each ordered a glass of wine (I can't remember the name), and to be fair, the wine was actually pretty good--they definitely got that part right. However, the food was another letdown. We ordered a couple of bites, and both my partner and I agreed that they tasted like ready-made items. The hummus was especially underwhelming--I've had better hummus from Publix. We also ordered the brie, which came with only a small handful of crackers, and the brie itself wasn't melty at all, which was disappointing. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has a good location and a lot of potential to be something great, but unfortunately, it's just not there yet. I hope they refine the concept and ambiance because it could be a great neighborhood wine bar with the right changes. Side note: service was good, the server was very attentive.

Let's start with the positive:…read more Excellent selection of wines Great service ( too good if there is such a thing) Ambiance is enjoyable Location is central and convenient Cleanliness is above average. Now to the nitty gritty... The flavors were lacking. The Bao bun's filling was dry and lacking seasoning. The dates were ok The gyoza were so small and overcooked so they were hard and dry on the inside. The wagyu tiraditos needed a few slices of bread or crustinis- something to dip in the sauce. This was the only appetizer that had flavor. As for the good service being a tad much, plates were removed before asking and quickly. Almost felt rushed. I realllly wanted to love this place. I've only heard great things and was really looking forward to it. Been wanting to come since they opened. Could they have had a bad day, sure , but for the price, I'd expect better portions and flavors. I feel like they're cutting corners and we were afraid to order entrees and be disappointed so we decided to leave after the apps. Not sure if I'd try again.

This food gem located in Pinecrest is worth visiting...!…read more Ambiance -- Beautiful atmosphere for either a date night or a family dining experience or celebration. It is charming and welcoming. Service -- Exceptional, professional, and attentive service from the moment you sit down to the moment you depart. Food -- Oh goodness...!! Went on Tomahawk Tuesday and it didn't disappoint. This meal comes with a succulent 64oz [comes also in a 32oz] Tomahawk steak, salad, side dish, and dessert. *Salad ordered -- Charred Caesar: Not your usual salad drenched with dressing, but a perfectly crafted, wood-fired delight. *Side dish -- Pomme Purée [mash potatoes]: A perfect pairing for the steak with a hint of garlic that added to its deliciousness. *Dessert -- The "Garden": A beautiful dessert masterpiece. It's a rich and succulent cheesecake garnished with liquid nitrogen frozen rose petals. It is a visual delight but even better tasting. It is fine dining at its best and worth every penny. Can't wait to go back...!

For my main, I chose the Eggplant Parm, an enormous portion. The cheese was generously layered, perhaps more than usual. The dish was fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. The sauce had a nice kick without being spicy. My mom ordered the Capellini Primavera, substituting pink cream sauce for oil and adding plenty of garlic; another huge portion. Absolutely loved it.

You can get the Miami Spice special menu options available during this Fall time of year. They have TWO: a regular one or an upgraded "reserve Menu". Hubby ordered a steak from the upgraded prix fixe reserve menu. It came with some nice extras. It was exceptional, albeit his steak. Too thin and overwhelmed by the reduction sauce. The other courses plus merlot and complimentary delicious dessert champagne were glorious! I ordered meat bolognese pasta and it was an Italian dream come true! And such a huge portion, I had half left for lunch. Price was pretty reasonable for this dish, too.

Both pastas were perfectly al dente. We started with a Tagliere, which only had one cheese option and came with no bread or crackers, but the prosciutto was top-notch. The bread is baked fresh, but, as other Yelpsters have noted, you will be charged $2 for any additional bread after the first basket, and the waiter does not tell you this. There is a limited wine list with some reasonable choices (although the Prosecco does not list the wine maker); the good news is that there's no corkage fee, so BYOB is encouraged. Other caveats: there is no AC, an 18% service charge is added regardless of the party size, and this is a tiny restaurant, so make reservations or come early. The owners are warm and friendly. This is a good local choice for a nice night out filled with exceptional pasta and the option to bring your own special bottle of wine.

I've been thinking of taking the WSET exam to get some more solid knowledge of wine, and after comparing different places offering the course as well as online options, I decide to take the class here. Located in the SunTrust building, the academy is easily accessible and there's garage as well as street parking around. The class is a small in size so it's good for sharing experience and opinions. Alessandra is readily available to answer questions during and after class, and she gives useful tips in preparing for the exam. The course really helped me in calibrating my palate to the WSET standard, as well as broadening my horizon and introducing me to less common wines, such as Hungarian tokaji and Australian riesling. In the end, I felt that regardless of whether I pass the exam or not, the course was totally worthwhile, because it has given me a lot of knowledge and the tool to better appreciate wine.

What an incredible time I had yesterday at the Florida Wine Academy for my Wine Class…read more I have so many reasons to go back, from the impeccable place, inside and outside, to the wonderful and well-prepared class, directed by Ms. Nicole. She emailed us, two days before, and asked us if we have any food allergies since they will provide some snacks to pair with the wines. She also gave us the address and explained to us how to get there and where to park. I parked in a public garage for $5.00, this was not my best choice, because I'm not used to walking alone downtown, but it wasn't that bad after all. I went into the Sun-trust building, a beautiful tall building. The academy is on the 22nd floor as Nicole told us in her email. Once I got there, we went to this room where she had everything set up as you can see in my pictures, so pretty and organized. That's one of the most important things for me, how well organized and neat everything was. I need all those, in order for me to learn and enjoy myself the way I did. She started the class as a Professor will, telling us about herself and that, made me happy, such a prepared person is teaching me about wine...wow. The way she directed the class, with all the details, from guiding us where to buy wines, to open up our senses. Smell, Taste, and Body, were words we used during the whole class since we learned from her how to categorize each different wine, from all the six we had. As we were learning, smelling, and trying the wines, she also told us how to pair them with food and gave us tips on which wine will go good or better with the food we choose. With the wines we tried, we had some nuts, cheese and crackers, grapes, and dark chocolate...Yummy! They also offer all the 4 levels of WSET classes, plus labs like the one I went and more. You can always call or check their website for more information. Honestly, after trying this class yesterday, I don't feel so embarrassed to try the leveled classes and get my certification, because they way they teach you, you can actually learn and move forward. Que increíblemente bien la pase ayer en la Florida Wine Academy en mi clase de vinos. Tengo muchas razones para volver; desde el lugar​ tan​ impecable, dentro y fuera, a la clase maravillosa y bien preparada, dirigida por la Sra. Nicole. Ella nos envió un correo electrónico, dos días antes, y nos preguntó si teníamos alguna alergia a los alimentos, ya que proporcionarán algunos aperitivos para acompañar a los vinos. Ella también nos dio la dirección y nos explicó cómo llegar y dónde estacionar. ​Estacion​é en un garaje público por $ 5.00, esta no era mi mejor opción, porque no estoy acostumbrada a caminar sola en el centro de la ciudad, pero no fue tan malo después de todo. Entré en el edificio Sun-trust, un hermoso y alto edificio. La academia está en el piso 22, como nos dijo Nicole en su correo electrónico. Una vez que llegué allí, fuimos al salón donde ella tenía todo preparado como puedes ver en mis fotos, tan lindo y organizado. Esa es una de las cosas más importantes para mí, qué tan bien organizado y ordenado era todo. Necesito todos esto para poder aprender y disfrutar como lo hice. Comenzó la clase como profesora, contándonos sobre ella y eso, me hizo feliz, una persona tan preparada me está enseñando sobre el vino ... wao. La forma en que dirigió la clase, con todos los detalles, desde guiarnos a dónde comprar vinos, a abrir nuestros sentidos. Olor, Sabor y Cuerpo fueron palabras que utilizamos durante toda la clase, ya que aprendimos de ella cómo categorizar cada vino diferente, de los seis que probamos. Mientras aprendíamos, olíamos y probamos los vinos, ella también nos dijo cómo combinarlos con la comida y nos dio consejos sobre qué vino iría bien o mejor con la comida que elijamos. Con los vinos que probamos, tuvimos nueces, queso y galletas, uvas y chocolate negro ... ¡delicioso! También ofrecen los 4 niveles de clases de WSET, además de laboratorios como el que fui y más. Siempre puede llamar o consultar su sitio web para obtener más información. Honestamente, después de probar esta clase ayer, no me siento tan avergonzada de probar las clases niveladas y obtener mi certificación, porque de la forma en que te enseñan, en realidad puedes aprender y seguir adelante.
