Visited The Wine Shop today with a friend and really enjoyed it! I had a glass of Annalise Moscato, and it was really, really good. My friend had the Pinot Grigio. I loved the service and the atmosphere--such a nice place to relax, enjoy a glass of wine, and catch up. We will definitely be back! read more

While Mrs. K. gets her hair done at Ulta nearby, I usually wander over to The Casual Pint, but it's now closed and I'm genuinely bummed about losing that little routine. This time, I ended up at The Wine Shop just down the way and it turned out to be a great second option, the kind of place that feels immediately comfortable even when you're showing up solo with time to fill. It was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon, but I found a seat at the bar where I was warmly greeted and with a big glass of water set down before I even had to ask. I ordered a glass of the Malbec with an Argentina label and paired it with the pimento cheese that arrives bubbling in a skillet alongside a huge pile of pita wedges that could easily feed two people if you were so inclined. The wine was absolutely excellent, the cheese was hot and spicy in all the right ways, and before I knew it, my phone buzzed with the text that Mrs. K. was ready to be picked up. We'll be back to Ulta soon enough and when that happens, I'll be right here at The Wine Shop, settling in and waiting it out with no complaints at all.

We were very disappointed in the service here. The only thing we ordered was a wine bottle for $36. Our waitress came over, popped it open, and spilled about half the bottle. It was moscotto and looked like it had been shaken because it continually overflowed the bottle, so much so she put it in the ice box to contain it. There was wine on the table, floor, and (of course) the ice box. All she said was "That never happens." No apology, no offer to replace the bottle (we lost at least a glass and a half of wine), and no discount. I decided not to ask for manager purely because we were with friends and I didn't want this to become the "focus." On top of this, however, service was generally bad. We didn't order food, but it took about 10 minutes for our friends to have their order taken, another 20 for food to come out, another 10 for one person's food to arrive (she had a pizza that should've cooked the quickest), an extended period for the offer of the check and grabbing our cards. The only positive is the food seems good (based off of our friends), but that's it. I personally would never reccomend this establishment due to the lack of courtesy and attentiveness. read more

The food and service at the wine shop was amazing. A special shout out to the hostess with the big eyelashes. We were going to sit outside, but she said that would be a bad idea because it was going to rain. Thank you for saving the evening. Will be back again soon. read more

Salt salt and more salt! Dry chicken. Don't let the presentation fool you. Server had no clue about a certain flavor I wanted in wine. Not her fault. That's all on management. Make your servers learn your wines. Weird flavors that aren't necessary in dishes and pasta salad had ZERO flavor. Never going back. Prices too high for their quality of food you would expect at a nice food and wine shop. read more

After my poor experience of trying to order multiple bottles of wine previously, we decided to come here for dinner twice recently. Both times were nice evenings, so we sat outside. They are dog friendly on the patio, too! What we got: Wine: *Glass of Moscato - a nice, sweet wine, but not up there with my favorite moscato wines. *White Sangria - this was like a sprite drowned in lemon and lime juice. This was awful and a wine shop should be embarrassed for this product. Appetizers: *Fried Goat Cheese and Apples - We got this both times. They are cheesy and creamy, so good! *Crab Cakes - We also got these both times. The first time we loved them, this second time the crab flavor was lost because I think they over fried them with a very crispy coating that took away from a good tasting crab cake. Entrees: *Pasta Jambalaya - I got it without the shrimp, but I enjoyed this dish with the chicken, sausage, and veggies. There is a very similar cajun pasta at my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, and I found myself comparing and wanting that one instead. This was a good dish, but I'd get something different next time. *Beef Rib Pasta - this was a special of the evening, but my husband got this and it was very good. I liked his pasta dish more. *Charleston burger - my husband enjoyed this with a side of pasta salad. I thought both were just okay. *Cuban - I would not get this again. It was a little dry and just did not have a lot of flavor. I've had much better cuban sandwiches. I had it with a standard caesar salad. Overall, this place is a hit or miss, and I think they are overpriced for what you get. My husband likes it more than me, so it will be a return on his request. It's a shame since they are close by and offer a nice environment, but they have to offer better food and consistency to match their pricing. read more

Very good food, great wine selections, very friendly staff. Atmosphere is great for both meetings and just visiting for a dinner for two.

My wife and I stopped in today for a Saturday lunch. I had passed The Wine Shop at this location for many years, and just assumed it to be a flatbreads, salads, and wine place. Boy was I wrong! As you can see from the attached VAST menu, they have something for everyone. I had the smash burger, with fries, my wife had the fish tacos and Caesar salad, and we shared a calamari appetizer. Everything was delicious. Our server Laura R did a great job!! We will be back!!! read more

Nice place to meet up with friends for a glass of wine or two and some yummy food! Great wine selection and a surprisingly diverse menu!

Great lunch spot! The Wine Shop has a lovely outdoor patio and a chef-inspired menu with everything from handhelds and salads to flatbreads and full entrées. The wine selection by the glass is excellent, the service is always attentive, and the ambiance feels quiet and relaxed in the midst of an otherwise busy shopping area. Definitely worth a detour!

I do love this place because it's very convenient to my home and the other shops in Rivergate. On Thursdays, they have an amazing live artist in there singing during the evening hours. The wine is excellent, even the house wines! I've encountered some great service there with the exception of one time and that was from the lady that greets you. There's a super friendly guy server that works there, he always has a smile on his face, offers great food recommendations and has great energy! Rebecca is friendly too. I do recommend you call before you go as i am not certain of their hours especially on Sat and Sunday. read more

Great experience every time we go. Love the food ! The butter toffee cake is to die for !

Always good food very consistant and excellent wine selection. The staff rarely turns over which is always a good sign of good management.

The food was delicious and the service was perfect! There's a variety of food on the menu and I'm thinking of many future visits to eat my way through! I highly recommend The Wine Shop read more

The food is amazing! I've tried lots of entrees and it never disappoints! Service is always awesome!

Great spot to shop, eat and drink. Check their Facebook for specials. They are now open (again) for lunch. They have a great wine selection, as well as beers and cider. We love their blackened salmon and mahi mahi tacos. My friend also loves their flatbreads. Truffle fries for the win! Today I had yummy tomato and red pepper bisque and the fried goat cheese and apples salad. They also have gluten free pasta available. Yummy dessert options include flourless chocolate cake. Staff is kind and always enjoy my time here. read more

The Wine Shop never disappoints. I am for grateful to have a restaurant like this in the area. We have a lack of options in Lake Wylie, and in a short 10-15 minute drive I can be enjoying great food, wine and service. Both lunch and dinner are wonderful; we have always had very attentive waitstaff. The specials are always changing and even though the menu is extensive, it is great to have additional options. I especially love the quiche, salads, and the flatbreads. I cannot say enough positive things about this place; please visit if you haven't already! read more

This place is an absolute hidden gem! I'm baffled that it only has a 3.7 rating on Yelp. I first visited with my mom during the week for a few glasses of wine, and their selection was fantastic. Fast forward to now, I brought my husband here for dinner, and it was just as impressive. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were super fresh. Both of us ordered pasta, and they were to die for. I had the wild mushroom pasta with blackened chicken, and my husband had the primavera pasta with blackened shrimp--honestly, I can't decide which one was better! We also tried two different glasses of wine. The Paul & Remy Tempranillo was hands down the best, but if you're into white wine, the Ethereo Albariño is a pleasant surprise. Both are from Spain and are excellent choices. We'll definitely be back with friends and family! read more

Great food and wine. The ambience is laid back and lovely. My go to spot for a nice evening dinner when I'm in the area.

Food was absolutely delicious, we sampled everything and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine. A table of 6 was extremely satisfied with the food. Service was a little slow but they were very busy as all the tables were full. We will return soon. read more

I had the Margherita flatbread a couple of days ago and it was not good. The tomatoes were too soft and too acidic. They definitely used the wrong type of tomatoes. Worst margherita flatbread/pizza I've ever had. First time I've had a bad dish at this restaurant. Hopefully it was just an off day. read more

Where do I start? The food: The food is delicious. The calamari - good, lump crab cakes -good, salmon- it's all good. The wine- Amazing. The Chop Shop Cabernet Sauvignon is my absolute favorite. However, I love all of the full bodied red wines on the menu. I recommend tasting a few as they allow you to purchase sample pours for $2-3 usually depend on wine selection. Overall great place, service has always been on point, and my friends and I just keep coming back. Go check it out! You will not regret it. read more

The Wine Shop was built in RiverGate a few years after my husband and I purchased our house in The Crossings in 2006 located about 1.5 miles from RiverGate. My husband and I went there often after it opened (I believe 2008) and for the most part enjoyed the quaintness of it, above average food, the better selection of wine, listening to Peaches on a Thursday evening and the close proximity from our house. The food has always leaned toward being "creatively above par" due to quality ingredients and skills of the Chef. My husband passed in 2017. I recently felt isolated in my home of 17 years; yet, I didn't like eating out alone. I decided to get out and become social again; so, I went to The Wine Shop and sat at the bar as a widowed senior woman to enjoy the food, wine and social aspect with people in my community. I have been enjoying red wine over the fall/winter at home; but, decided to switch to a lighter wine for the summer as I try to become social again. When I went back to The Wine Shop with my agenda stated above I did a tasting of white wines from Spain and France. Over a 3-4 day period I went there everyday, spending top dollar, tipping generously and experiencing mutual respect between me and the staff. I felt social again. My positive experience was very short lived as a few evenings ago I went there expecting another enjoyable experience. I sat in the proximity of my usual barstool and expected the usual quality treatment. I picked out another white wine from Spain and asked for a taste. The taste was alright and I agreed to having a bottle. When the server brought the bottle I immediately noticed the bottle was larger than the quality bottles I had previously tried and it was Rosé. I told the server it was not what I ordered and she said, "Yes it is". I emphatically said, "No, it's not. Why are you switching wines on me? The manager overheard our conversation and said she told the server to switch the wine. The manager said, "I don't think it's that big of a deal" and slapped down her bar mop. She said, "Do you expect me to tell you ever time I switch out wines". I said, "As a paying customer, I think it's a big deal and Yes, I expect you to tell me." I got up and left to find a substitute place to have dinner until The Wine Shop in my community gets a more qualified, professional, customer oriented Manager with the knowledge and appreciation for fine wines. After all, it is "The Wine Shop". Please don't embarrass me and my community by hiring a Manager who thinks a selection of wine is "Not A Big Deal". My wait won't be long. read more

This review is for the bar only: Hubby and I came here for a couple of drinks one night. We were greeted by friendly staff and were seated immediately.

I really love this place!!! I've sat both inside and at the outside tables on nice days and love to have both options. The food is delicious! My favorite so far is the steak and goat cheese sandwich, which I usually get in a wrap. There's a wide variety of options from classic dishes to flatbread to sandwiches, and of course wine . The staff here are amazing and super friendly. I've had questions on what I can customize and they're always willing to answer and talk them through. My husband is a professional chef and this is one of his favorite spots to eat as well! read more
