    Upon walking up to Wax Poetic, I noticed it was small, dark, and there were two other people in there. THIS IS MY VIBE. I was so excited to check this place out because I am always on a mission to explore every single wine bar in the SFV. Love the aesthetic of this place. Art deco and other vintage touches give it a really unique feel. I love that they project old movies on the wall. They also have a self playing piano. So fun! We sat down at a table that was pushed together with another one to make a four top. Since there was no one else around us, we separated the tables to have a little more room. The first thing the employee said to us was some sort of comment about how the table was for four people and that they don't separate them. There was no one else there so we kind of laughed it off, but it was definitely a funny first impression that didn't feel entirely welcoming at first. The employee ended up warming up to us and was very helpful in recommending and describing wines. I had a lovely Malbec and a Cab from Napa. Their Chef was out sick so unfortunately I didn't get the chance to try and of the nibbles. They did have the ice cream available which we tried and it was simple, but nice. I definitely look forward to coming back and coming with more friends. What a cool neighborhood spot. They have a nice deal where you get a discount if you purchase bottles to go. Could be a great date night spot too!

    We, being a party of 4, popped in to this quaint spot on Magnolia. We walked in and were greeted by the staff and they were great. A couple of us are wine drinkers but another couple are beer drinkers and they're was a good selection of both wine and beer. We tried a lot of the foods. Small menu. All that we tried was absolutely delicious! Beef carpaccio and sea bream were very tasty. We ordered a couple more orders of the sea bream we loved it so much! Mini baguettes with goat cheese, garlic confit, patè and also butter. Then on to dessert. Spiked root beer float! Yummmyy!!! Affogato was so good! Anyway, we will be back! Loved it!

    Affogato... It's a must!

    This place is AWESOME! The staff brings all the joy. Also, the vibe is epic! Wax Poetic is no longer a secret

    Wow! I can't recommend Wax Poetic enough!! What a fantastic addition to the Magnolia Park area in Burbank. The owners Carrie and Eric are so personable and have created such a thoughtful and beautiful space to enjoy wine & delicious bites. The menu is small and meaningful. They have a fun collaboration with Vampire Wines, complete with a feature of a wine bottle in a Vampire cloak - so cute! I did try the cab sauv from Vampire Wines and really enjoyed it. The bartender/somme also recommended the vampire wines rose prosecco - I'll definitely need to try it next time. I also think it's so clever that they offer wines on tap. I tried the Pinot Noir from Argyle (Willamette Valley). I'm a big fan of Pinot noirs and I thought this wine hit the spot of being an enjoyable & palatable wine to start the evening. The wines on tap come in 5oz, 8 oz, and 17oz portions. A couple sips into my 8oz pour I realized I needed to supplement my wine with some food. We ordered a baguette with pate & sour cherry glaze, the beef carpaccio, and the stone fruits with burrata & jamon Serrano. I was a little worried that there would be too much food but it was actually perfect! We got to speak with the chef briefly and he intentionally designed the menu to be filling yet light and also cold. It was truly perfect, especially paired with wine. The baguette comes out a perfect temperature balanced between warm & hot while still being soft and tearable. The pate with sour cherries was amazing with the bread. The highlight of the meal was the beef carpaccio. The brightness of the lemon with olive oil was fantastic. It was everyone's favorite part of the order. Lastly, the stone fruit with burrata and jamon came in a close second favorite. I loved how light & refreshing it was while also being super filling & tasty. As far as ambience, Wax Poetic is definitely a 10/10. From the color of the walls, to the stools, to the light fixtures, and the live piano - wow! Truly beautifully designed. I loved the art deco inspiration and was obsessed with their light fixtures. This would be a romantic date night spot. The staff was also top notch. We came during the grand opening and it was definitely a bit busy. The bartender/somme made fantastic recommendations and was super friendly & kind. I do appreciate that the totals include 20% for staff so tipping is not required over that. There is also a rewards club you can sign up for! Overall, Wax Poetic is a must try! I will be visiting again.

The chicken was a little dry and the seasoning on it just tasted spicy to be spicy. No real flavor. The cucumber and slaw also did not help with the bland taste.

Just get it. Refreshing with just the right amount of alcohol I want to taste in my drink hehe. Food came out timely, staff were helpful and attentive. Great place for a group of 4-5 - anymore and it'd be too crowded as they don't have big tables. Loved the vibe of the place.

We tried a yellowfin tartare which was great. I got the pasta which was very good, and my wife got the salmon. Salmon was fresh and great, but the broccolini side was ridiculously salty. Service was very good, but my wife wanted the tartare as an entrée and our server, who was honestly lovely, suggested it wasn't large enough for an entrée. Problem was, it was a pretty substantial portion and my wife would have appreciated it as a main. I loved getting to share the tuna, but if she'd have just ordered that, and not added the salmon, I think we both would've appreciated the experience more. A very good wine list, with some really nice wines by the glass - You don't see that often enough - and limited, but interesting beer. Ample parking, 90 minutes free.

The cheese board was honestly depressing, with the bread being the best thing on there. I wish there was more cheese .. It was a cute place, but I felt a bit bamboozled . We were sat next to a bush , basically directly next to another couple, which felt like we were in their conversation. My car got trapped in with the parked when we were ready to leave.

Perfect place for a day or night time sip, thoughtful snacks on their menu and to enjoy with a friend or two.

Haley also supports the community in a big way with a cool bulletin area and display showcasing lots of services, business cards and local happenings. Easy stroll from North Hollywood station, LA Metro services and parking garages. Street parking is around, side streets and further up can be your friend, but if you know this part of North Hollywood in the NoHo Arts District, you know parking can be a journey. Rideshare is fairly easy here. And when having a glass a two, drinking responsibly is also good for you. Restroom available for customers.
