Perfect Girls-Night-In Spot! Came here to catch up with some girlfriends, and had a great time! The ambiance is dark, casual and cozy. No reservations, just first come first serve. Also, no official time of closing, depends on the flow of the night! I love this relaxed approach to the place. Servers are very friendly. Food is delicious! And so is their wine. We ordered: empanadas, Brie cheese plate, charcuterie board, and flatbread over several bottles of champagne. Everything was so good! It was a great evening to catch up with friends over good food and wine. Will definitely be back read more

The service here was impeccable! We tried the charcuterie board and it was delicious. Meats, cheese and olives were really good! And the wine flight is a must! It helped me to figure out what bottles of wine I wanted. We ended up grabbing two of their featured cabs. It was a nice finish to a rough week! read more

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. The vibes were top tier. My fiancé and I had an amazing date night here.

Food and wine was good, it's a chill place! The server was a guy and he was very attentive. I went with my girlfriends but would definitely like to take my mom sometime. It's dark and intimate for a date but also inviting for a mom or girls date! read more

Twisted Vine is by far my favorite lil' wine bar in the area! Employees are super welcoming and knowledgeable with great recommendations (never pretentious!). The kitchen may be small but the food is BOMB. Great spot of date night, friend night or day drinking. All around good time! read more

It was crowded on Friday night and we didn't want to sit at the bar so we waited for a table. Only 2 of us but the table was more comfortable since we ordered appetizers, beer and wine. We enjoyed the food - cheese plate, olives, bread. Red wine flight was good but nothing stood out for me in particular. I was hoping for an interesting red blend on the menu. Service was also good overall. I would give the place another shot to see what new wines they have next time. read more

This is a very nice wine bar and it's perfect for a date. There is sometimes live music. Service is always friendly and knowledgeable. I especially love the flat bread. Omg the Flatbread is probably the best in town. Crispy, flavorful, and leaves you wanting to order another one. We've also tried the caprese salad lollipops and the shrimp. All are great choices. I love to enjoy a bottle while sharing some appetizers. The patio is great, too. A quaint neighborhood wine bar located right in the heart of downtown fullerton. read more

Had an impromptu girls dinner yesterday and had the best time. We arrived at about 6pm and there were available tables. The entire staff were amazing, giving us recommendations for food and wine. We orderered the white wine summer flight and I highly recommend. For food, we took our servers suggestion and went with the special of the night, chipotle chicken pasta and the baked brie with extra apple slices. Both were fresh and tasted like homemade heaven. They had 80's music playing in the background which is right up my alley. A great place for date night, girls night, or just because. read more

This is just a great place to come if you want to enjoy some quality wine with a variety of options like a wine flight, or get a few glasses or just get a bottle to enjoy and share. Came last night with a friend and we got great food, drink and service. We started with a red flight and white flight each. Me and my friend are both Somms and we were impressed with the quality as well as the selections. A good variety of whites and reds to enjoy. We then got on to eating! Bomb food I must say. Everyone that has been here knows about the Brie Bowl, a must for anyone coming here. We then got the Mediterranean Flatbread and Chicken Empanadas and they were both superb! Loved those Empanadas and the sauce it comes with. We then split a Pesto Pasta with chicken and each got another glass of wine. I got their Syrah (I thought it was just so so, I usually drink Syrahs from the Rhône particularly Hermitage.) but California is making more Syrah these days which I find mediocre. We then ended with some dessert (Oreo cookie chocolate) and with Royal Tokaji a delicious after dinner drink that is super floral with lychee notes and not too sweet. If you want to come enjoy great food and drink a variety of varietals this is the place to come. One of the best wine tasting bars in OC! read more

We've visited Twisted Vine pre-Covid and again a couple weeks ago. On both occasions, the service and food were stellar. The ambience is ideal for either a one-on-one conversation or a large party, which we just had. This latest visit was with a wine group of 20 people and they hosted us easily, while still having plenty of space for other customers. There are tall bar tables/stools in the front and comfy lounge chairs/couches near the back. It has a very cool vibe/décor. SERVICE: Everyone on staff is friendly and works hard to ensure you have a wonderful experience. Dave and Trish hosted and poured for our wine group. Dave provided the details on each wine and why it was paired with one of their small plates. DRINKS: Of course, they have wine...lots of it. An impressive menu as well as a wall of bottles not on the menu. There's a glass for everyone. For the beer drinkers, there's also a nice selection of craft beers. FOOD: Small bite plates. Previous visit, the Baked Brie bread bowl was large portion, garlicky, but very tasty. The tomato bisque was excellent, creamy and not too acidic. It was served piping hot with a crostini on the side. More recently, we had a pre-fixe wine/food pairing menu for a group of 20 guests: · Blanc de Blanc (50/50 Chardonnay & Chenin Blanc) with a Cheese & Charcuterie board · Gruner Veltliner with Burrata Cheese Sauce & Prosciutto on flatbread · Syrah/Carignan Rosé with a Feta Cheese Dip and pita · Zinfandel (Dry Creek in NE Sonoma Valley) with Chorizo & Potato Empanadas · Chilean Malbec with Steak Chimichurri crostini · Mosel Riesling with French Toast Empanadas All of the wines were good, and the appetizers were delicious. Bottle prices were reasonable, so I took a couple home. Parking in downtown Fullerton can be tough. I mean, there's a lot of on-street parking, as well as a large lot behind the building. However, it's always a very busy area, so allow yourself plenty of time if you're meeting someone. I highly recommend Twisted Vine for a wonderful wine tasting and dining experience. read more

Tried Twisted Vine on a whim...and it was worth the short drive. We sat in the patio and had grrat weather to go with our drinks and food. Tim was the best. He not only had great suggestions with the Steak Crostini but his attention to detail was amazing. I would recommend coming here for wine, bites, and great service. read more

First time back in about a year. Soooooo glad to see nothing has changed. Chill atmosphere, great wine, delicious food, reasonable prices. Heaven in Fullerton. Just what the mind ordered on the way home from work. I had a cab, a Pinot, and the burrata prosciutto flatbread (pictured). Great place for a date night or just a quick stop on the way home. Quiet, no drama, and the staff is great! Hopefully I can come wayyyyy more than I have been. read more

I went there on a Tuesday night(12/9/25), and I arrived at 6pm. The host/server was very friendly and when asked where to sit, he said anywhere is fine. I met someone there and once seated, it took longer than usual for someone to take our drink order. My friend finally had to go to the bar and ask for waters. The bartender was not accommodating. He proceeded to tell her they were "slammed," and she needed to wait. Wow, not good. Finally our server brought us waters and we ordered right away lest we not see him for awhile. We both ordered the McPrice Meyers Cabernet and it was really nice. Next, we ordered the bread and balsamic which was extremely delicious and and a great way to start our meal. After that, they brought out the chorizo flatbread I ordered, but I have to say I was disappointed. The chorizo looked like pepperoni slices and there was hardly any on the flatbread. I have to say though, it was still tasty. However, the worst part is, it came out COLD and the crust was soft and somewhat soggy. Tasty, but the texture was off and it wasn't served hot. I would come back, but only to try other food items. The flatbread wasn't it. read more

Best charcuterie and chocolate volcano dessert in a long time. My husband loved his fancy grilled cheese sandwich and beer. I had a smooth glass of Cabernet. I loved the music . The 80s background music : The Smiths, The Cure, etc. the staff was friendly and helpful. read more

First time coming to the Twisted Vine. Perfect place to have a girls night out! Nice selection of food and wine options. We opted for rose and it went perfect with our food selections. We tried the baked Brie bread bowl also known as the appetizer you never knew you needed in your life. It reminded me of a delicious fondue and I would definitely recommend this appetizer. We also ordered half of a charcuterie board and an order of the chorizo and potato empanadas. For dessert we had the specialty chocolates and the chocolate molten cake. Everything tasted great and amazing. Service was excellent and on point. I love the ambience and of course the 80's music. Definitely a fun night out and will be back again! read more

Not a bad lil spot to hang out, unwind, have a drink and grab a bite to eat! Also a potential date option if you're looking for a spot to take a special someone. The decor is that of a gritty, charming speak easy. The service was great -- our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. There's a fairly large selection of wine as well as a decent variety of food to choose from. While alcohol is likely one of the main allures to come here (they have quite a selection), I don't drink so I actually came here to grab a bite to eat. So my review is more focused on that aspect. The food I went with were: olives, a salad, a cheese board and a flatbread. I enjoyed the olives. They tasted fresh and were pitless. They tasted salty, but not overly so. The cheese board was REALLY something and what I would recommend the most. In addition to a variety of cheese, the cheese board also came with more olives, some bread, salami and sides of dijon mustard and honey for dipping. My advice -- get the cheese board. It was tasty, had good variety and is a great plate to share. The salad was actually a bit disappointing. The dressing was not very tasty and the the salad was oversaturated in dressing. The salad is a pass from me. I couldn't finish it. If anything, maybe try the dressing on the side and add a little to see if you like it. The flatbread was ok. It was a bit overly salty tasting. Still, it wasn't awful. I don't think I'd order it again, but I did finish it. Despite the salad being a miss for me and the little-too-salty tasting flatbread, I still very much enjoyed my time at the Twisted Vine. Those two hiccups weren't enough to tarnish the rating. I had a good time, enjoyed the atmosphere and service and most of my meal. I would come back, especially for the cheeseboard and olives. Overall, not a bad spot to lounge, have a date, grab some drinks or a bite to eat. read more

Called now to order a cheese platter. I let her know I could order on the phone or stop by. She was confused and Trisha asked, "I don't understand for today or another day? Yes we sell cheese platters." At what point do people want loyal business. I was made to feel as if I was asking the wrong question. She was demeaning and I will not recommend Twisted Vine, even though I love it. I would rather give my money and loyalty to a restaurant who respects all questions and doesn't make you feel less than. So dissatisfied but mostly disappointed. I'm headed to Let It Brie--at least they have manners and don't dehumanize you. read more

Service is HORRIBLE I have been a twisted vine customer for over 16 years. Although probably what you would define as a "regular", I am confident that I have generated a few thousand in revenue to you as a business. Today a friend any myself stopped by to pick up both our mixed wines as Cru members. We were met on the patio by Wendy after we walked in and noted a closed for private party sign. Every interaction whether on the phone, via email and now in person with Wendy has been negative. She is rude, nasty and condescending. I did advise that we checked the website and it should hours on Sunday starting at 10am. We just asked if we could pick up our wines. Wendy opted to finish wiping off all the patio table first while she reprimanded us. I am well of age that I don't need someone to tell me what to do and that we should come back later. When she did bring out our wine, she put both bags on a table vs handing them to us. I arrived excited to pick up my wine and left dumbfounded. I will not subject myself to this kind of treatment any longer. I am done. Wendy has no customer service skills, treats customers badly and has single handedly lost you this 16 year customer. I will make no further plans to your establishment. I also have knowledge that this is not the only customer complaint about Wendy. Seems to be a well know fact that Wendy is difficult to interact with. Today I cancelled my membership and will no longer follow nor frequent this establishment. read more

Great appetizer choices, lovely summer flight. It was a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy a quiet weekday evening. Love the high tables and they had a lovely patio. Great live music when we went as well, although the space was tight to have even the one guy there. It fit, but just barley. Overall I liked it a lot and it was obviously liked by many others as many were there. read more

Loved the moscato too! The patio is really nice looking too. I'll chill on the patio next time. I also tried the feta dip, delicious! It's got a bit of a kick, but oh so good!

Twisted vine is a cool little spot it was my first time going here and the vibes were right; it's a dim environment which is good for a day a serious conversation talk with wine or a nice ladies night out. I had a glass of moscato and my friend a glass of rosé, and we had a few bites appetizers which were small, but so very tasty with each bite. The service was very good, I could tell that they worked as a team at twisted vine. Everyone checked on us multiple times making sure we were OK if we needed to order more items which we did. The surrounding locations are definitely popping with music dancing but if you want something chill and you like wine and you're not that hungry and just want little bites this is the perfect place. read more

Food is really good and the wine selection can seem overwhelming for the novice. The staff knows their stuff and are eager to assist

This was the worst and most insane dining experience l I've ever had lol. After 2 drinks the server brings someone over saying they no longer will be serving my mom, bf and I. We had a drink lol. We can't stop laughing at the experience now but the staff here are horrible human beings and food was mediocre. Sadly was recommended by friends and would never recommend a soul to come back here. We thought she was joking but no this place is delusional. Also your food isn't good but we love the bar next door thanks! read more

I had been eating to come here for some time and I'm glad I finally did. Came here around 7pm on a Friday and snagged the last couple barstools with a friend. Overall, I had expected a larger selection of win, but I made do with a paso cab. I ordered the feta dip, empanadas and the prosciutto flat bread and they were all exceptionally good for a wine bar. The feta dip was much better than I expected, although I would have preferred more red pepper flakes. The empanadas had an amazing sauce and were a bit spicy- but I loved it. The flatbread was pretty standard but was also very good. I think I may have found a new spot to frequent for good bites and decent wine. Now I just have to find people to go with me :) read more

If you're looking for a first date spot with nice ambiance, definitely check here! It wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated right away. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and they knew so much about the wine. I got the white wine flight and they gave generous pours. I wanted finger foods like fries but the closest thing they had was garlic bread, which did the job of soaking up all the wine. The music wasn't too loud which made for good conversations and they let us chill for a long time even after we closed out our bill and they still gave us water and checked up on us. read more

Great first experience from the drinks to the food and service (also had live music tonight!)! For drink I wanted something that could pair well with food but something on the sweeter side. Our server Matt gave me a sample of the Riesling from Germany and it was perfect! Not too sweet but sweet enough for my taste and paired well with my food. My group got the baked Brie to share and it definitely is a must try! As for myself I had to try the chorizo and potato empanadas cause it comes with a green cilantro sauce that my friends were raving about and they were right! We got extra sauce so they could eat it with their flatbread. It is a bit dark especially where we sat in the very back but it has a nice vibe. Would recommend coming here when you want a nice or casual drink with bomb food!! read more

We came for the bottomless mimosas ($15) offered every Sunday and fell in love with this gem! The bartender has a wonderful mimosa bar with a variety of self serve juices and berries to choose from. She was the only one working that day, yet never neglected us. Our glasses always remained full. The food is outstanding as well. We ordered the sun dried tomato flatbread, grilled cheese, and tomato bisque soup. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Twisted vine makes a perfect gathering spot to spend time with friends. There's plenty of seating and you can actually carry on audible conversations! Location: If heading west on Commonwealth, pass Harbor and immediately to the right is a small public parking lot. It will lead to the back entrance, which is adjacent to the hardware store. read more
