Marianna and Spencer clearly put a significant thoughtful effort into the design and layout of Vin39. The venue has three parallel different spaces: bar seating, lounge seating, table seating. Each space is unique, socially comfortable, and adapted to the specific vibe. There was also a lot of careful selection for staffing the venue. The staff were all super friendly, knowledgable, and well trained, which all really maintains the sense that you are in an elevated wine bar. I enjoyed my rioja and was really pleased to see the spectrum of wine available by the bottle, and by the glass. Though I was expecting there to be more by-the-glass options, I was really excited that wine flights are an option for wines on the by-the-glass list. I also had one of their signature cocktails, the Modena Affair, which was absolutely delicious and perfect for anyone who loves a filthy vodka martini and is looking for a more earthy undertone. Similar to the venue having crafted spaces for different experiences, the food menu has been designed so that any type of guest can build a culinary experience appropriate for themselves and their party. I had the tri-color salad, crab cakes, and airline chicken: all well executed, artistically plated, and absolutely scrumptious. The crab cakes are reminiscent of Maryland-style, nice big chunks of crab meat with just barely enough filler to ensure each cake will hold the delicate shape: perfect. The crab cakes are elevated by this wonderful two part sauce combo and playful ribbon salad they are plated with. I heard a couple comments in my vicinity about the portion size and cost of the dishes: if you are starving and want a large cheap meal go fill up on the slop at a buffet or fast food restaurant. The food menu at Vin39 is a wine bar menu there is a spectrum of different dishes for a wide array of palates to match the wide array of wine and cocktail options. All of the food I ate and saw go out to other guests was using top ingredients, and was thoughtfully crafted for the experience. I am very excited to try more of Vin39's wines, cocktails, and food...will definitely be going back! read more
