This was the perfect spot for our girls night! Everything was delicious but the favorite dish of the night was definitely the cauliflower with kimchi! The drinks were strong and I liked that you could try a small pour of multiple wines. The bar is stunning and as an avid cheetah print lover I had to snap a pic of the adorable bathroom that was also very clean and well stocked. Can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy the patio! The parking lot is shared and on the tighter side but we were able to snag a spot no problem! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Wine Bar Experience in Rocky River! My girlfriend and I visited this past Sunday in the mood for charcuterie and wine, and everything was excellent. We both ordered the Moscato, enjoyed a charcuterie board with a delicious selection of meats and cheeses, and each of us had a bowl of their soup of the day - roasted red pepper soup. Everything was perfectly prepared and flavorful. During the holidays, the wine bar transforms into the Nutcracker Wine Bar, and it's tastefully and beautifully decorated. The shelves above the bar are adorned with nutcrackers, and the ceiling is covered with big, stunning gold ornaments--it's a magical, festive atmosphere that makes the experience even more special. This spot is a must-visit for a relaxing afternoon of great food, wine, and holiday charm--we'll definitely be back! read more

3.5 stars! Kind of weird vibe so I'm rounding down but the food was solid and service was good! We got the truffle fries which were very good. Mom and I split a Caesar, a little overdressed and not a super light dressing but good. Also split the caprese chicken sandwich, which was fine, pretty much exactly what you'd expect. My dad got a the Brie flatbread with pepperoni, which in my opinion was the best thing in the table (but I say that as a Brie lover). Overall fine experience! read more

Fabulous location and fabulous wine bar. Great atmosphere and ambience. Ample parking, friendly staff and great outdoor seating area.

The bartenders was friendly and service was exceptional. They were busy but made sure everyone was taken care of. This place has an indoor and outdoor patio. This is a beautiful seasonal hit. The wine was great! It was clean and beautiful. read more

We stopped in the wine bar for a late dinner. Loved the cozy ambiance and great menu selections, including unsurprisingly a robust wine list. The bar fries, burrata salad, and butternut squash flatbread were delish to split! read more

Great food, great service. I've been coming here for awhile and enjoy it just as much when I am in town visiting. It seems like they rotate the menu but the quality always stacks up. The best - patio season! read more

This place is my favorite, always and forever. (I know I've written a review for here before, but I've found Yelp has deleted several of my reviews, which is so frustrating. ) Anyway, the patio is the best in all CLE. They have a covered all season patio with a fireplace which is always open (so cozy) and also an open air one that's open in the summer. The vibes inside are upscale and cozy as well. You cannot go wrong! (The fireside room is open occasionally when there's not an event going on. They tried seating us in there once but it was right under an air vent and FREEZING) The menu changes occasionally, which I LOVE! Being a typical Aries, I get bored easily, so I look forward to trying new menu items when they change. Although, I miss when faves get taken off. But that just means we have to go often before they leave the menu! I'm a vegetarian, so sometimes it can be challenging to find something I can eat on their menu. But there's usually a veggie burger, an entire, and a flatbread that's meat free. (Depending on how strict you are, make sure to ask, since I didn't know until the French onion pizza was made with beef products until I've been there several times) We've noticed that the food is a little inconsistent sometimes (different bread used for a sandwich, different potatoes on the pizza, etc.) but I'm just assuming they are using whatever's fresh and on hand in the kitchen. Fine with me! The wine selection is great. Their fries are herbed and fantastic. The waitstaff is usually very friendly as well. This is my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Cleveland. Quality food, amazing vibes, great service (usually). We come here for every birthday, celebration, as well as frequent date nights. And the patio cannot be beat! You can make a reservation online too, which I highly recommend for the weekends, especially as the weather gets warmer bc you WILL have to wait ! read more

Fantastic food! Best patio in Rocky River! And Service is always great! Always on our date night rotation!

The food and wine are ok but more expensive than warranted. The music is loud and annoying though... pop dance music. They'd benefit from classing it up. It sounds like a store in a mall. :( read more

A bit disappointed with our service last night. The food was top notch as per usual, and the wine selection suited our needs. The peaches and chicken flatbread was excellent and the Mediterranean farro salad was good. I highly recommend the outdoor seating at the Wine Bar. Our only gripe was our server. She was very friendly - when she could be found. Perhaps there was no manager around on a Monday night to ensure there were no wineglasses needing to be filled. read more

Visited family in Cleveland and returned here for our second visit. Lovely evening to be outside and the place was hopping with a crowd that ranged from twentysomethings to octogenarians and everything in-between. Great weather and a fun crowd were accented by a guy playing the guitar with some electronic/pre-recorded background -- a lot of 70s and 80s rock that suited the crowd just fine. Started with the buffalo cauliflower which was delightful if a little stingy on the portion size. All four of our entrees were fabulous -- thumbs up for the watermelon and feta salad, the speck (like prosciutto) flatbread, the caprese pasta, and my soba noddle bowl. Service was a little slow, but only because the place was slammed, and as we were in no hurry and our server was delightful, that was not an issue for us. Struck by two things that are in the "minus" column, though...one was having the most expensive Cabernet (by the glass) on the menu poured into the same glass in which I'd just had a Chablis -- I'd have expected at least the offer of a clean glass. The other was watching a couple a few tables over on the patio as they shared their dinner with their dog (which was in a stroller...). Not quite what I signed up for at this pretty fully priced (especially for Cleveland) spot. We'll be back nonetheless.... Good menu, nice selection of wines, and great people (and dog) watching... read more

Nice service. Flatbreads are good. Salmon overcooked, broccoli was inedible (steak knife wouldn't even cut the stems). And, we were told upon entering at 5:30 that we had to be finished and out the door by 7. This American rush to turn tables is awful. read more

Always love coming here for a good patio vibe. They also had live music at 6pm Wednesday!! Honestly...was very disappointed in the cheese board. We ordered a large and added meat for more money and for $35 you can tell in the pic we got mainly all carbs. Do not order unless you really are craving charcuterie. They really give you nothing. Everything else in the menu, especially the appetizers and flatbreads are good values and yummy! read more

I really enjoyed my birthday dinner with friends here! While the weather was chilly, the patio ambiance was wonderful. There are inside seating options also. The wine list, not surprisingly, is very extensive. They have a Cabernet Franc, one of my favorite reds, which I don't often see on the menu. Perhaps my favorite appetizer is the tempura buffalo cauliflower (not pictured). It was a perfect balance of crispiness and gentle spiciness. It wasn't incredibly busy so our food and drinks came out quickly. I'm looking forward to going back sometime soon. read more

Went here for a girls night dinner and had a great time! for one they had my favorite wine which is nearly impossible to find anywhere (cab franc) - and secondly the service was great and the salad I ordered was also delicious. We had some apps as a table, the whipped feta with pita was amazing and the bruschetta was HUGE and delish! Highly recommend trying for date night or just with friends, really great spot. read more

Came here for a fun girls lunch and it was wonderful!! Obviously we had our fair share of different wines! I truly don't think you can go wrong with a wine selection here! I've been here many times and tried all types of wine.... I've never once been disappointed! My friend got a simple salad, that she described as being the perfect summer salad to pair with wine!! My friend got the Chicken sandwich and said it was cooked perfectly! The chicken had a lot of flavor but was still juicy!! and bonus... her fries we served extra crispy liked she asked! (SO GOOD) I got the Salmon BLT served with fries! So delicious! I don't think you can ever go wrong with salmon! and surprisingly... it went well with the bacon! The only thing I was weary about was the bun... but it actually went well with everything! As we had more wine and continued to talk... we got more hungry... so for "dessert" we ordered a flatbread to share!! Again... pizza and wine? CAN NEVER GO WRONG!! This lunch was so fun and if you are looking for a girls day spot or a very cute date night... this is the place to go!!! It was romantic vibes... but at the same time can be casual! The staff was wonderful and helped us with any questions! We will be coming back here soon! read more

Okay, I'm posting a review about it being the best kept secret. But by posting this I am making it publicly known, so there goes the secret!

It is in a lovely setting, water trickling and plants and shrubbery creating a lovely ambiance. Our server was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. The food was decent also. This is from a visit in fall of 24. My group is looking forward to another visit. read more

I've been in Cleveland for over three years and finally made it out to Wine Bar Rocky River a couple months ago! When I came here on a Thursday evening, this place was surprisingly busy (I recommend making a reservation if you can!). Luckily I was able to find a parking spot in their relatively large lot. They have a super cute patio here, as well as tables that are well spaced apart inside the restaurant so you can eat inside or outside during these COVID times. My friend and I ended up ordering a small cheeseboard, as well as the truffle flatbread to share. Everything was delicious, including the wines we ordered. I wish I got the name of our server because he truly went above and beyond our expectations with offering recommendations, even giving me a couple samples when I couldn't decide on which wine to get. I was personally looking for some lighter wines so I ended up trying a couple white wines (the Domaine and Chevalier), which tasted light and refreshing, complementing the meal perfectly. Overall, this is a great spot for happy hour, cheese boards, and wine. I highly recommend coming to check it out if you haven't already! read more

I LOVE THE RR WINE BAR! The servers are Great! The patio-Best in Town. The menu has lots of choices and just the right size portions. Not too big, or too small. Shareable appis, fresh salads-add the Salmon-it's always Very Good. **I do need to say however, this "chicken tortilla" was NOT what I imagined? Fried egg roll? Not a solid piece of chicken to be found-all finely minced ingredients.,NOT good. Truly the first fail ever? (Just saying) read more

What a fantastic experience! We arrived around 1PM on a sunny spring day. It was cool so they had the fire pit going on the patio. In fact, we chose the place because it boasted a fabulous patio! And fabulous it is! Plenty of seating. Very chill vibes. Extensive wine menu. We tried a variety of enomatic wines which you can order as a 1, 3, or 5 oz pour. They even have a cheateau neuf du pape on the enomatic menu. You must absolutely try the whipped lemon feta pita small pate. Oh my. Best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time! Truly delicious, fresh, bright, and tangy. read more

This is such a cute spot for wine, apps, or dinner. they have an extensive wine list for glasses or bottle. they also have a long list of wines on tap thag can be turned into a flight or samples of 1, 2 or 5oz. I tried a flight of 3 and all of the wines were delicious. I also got the goat cheese and brie flatbread, which was amazing - the saltiness of the dough/cheese went perfectly with tbt sweetness of the honey drizzle. I will definitely be back to try more menu items and other wines on their list. read more

I stoped by after dinner nearby. My friends and I wanted a nightcap. The restaurant has ample indoor seating though it was a bit busier than I would have preferred for only indoor seating - thankfully we were only there for a bit. I wanted a hot (temperature) drink and the new bartender accommodated nicely. He was able to offer coffee with baileys and I loved it. To go with my warm beverage, I got the brownie and it was delicious. It was definitely the weirdest order this employee had to deal with at a wine bar but he did great indulging me! read more

This wine bar & restaurant is now one of my favorites! I love the atmosphere especially in the summer where you can sit on their patio. There's tons of seating out there and a good amount inside. I do recommend making a reservation so you don't have to wait. The cheese plate is a perfect appetizer option to split with the table or just have a light dinner. The burger & fries I had was delicious and I 100% recommend the whipped feta dish too - YUM. Lastly, we had a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake and that was *chefs kiss* We were seated immediately when we walked in with our reservation - it was a Friday night in summer. Everyone was very nice and helpful and our waitress was awesome. The food arrived quickly and overall I had a wonderful experience! read more

Absolutely horrible. We were super excited to go for our first time as the weather is nice and we've been wanting to go since moving in to the neighborhood. We got there and they sat us right away which was nice, however once we sat, the hostess asked to move us to another spot as where she originally sat us was meant for four people. We obliged but the place she sat us was in the corner on a deck where we could easily fall off (we moved the chair and table a little to avoid falling off) however also the deck every time someone stepped on it our chairs and table wobbled. What annoyed us the most was after moving us, the same hostess sat two people at the table she just told us was meant for four people. We had to ask for a dinner menu since they didn't give us that. They brought our wine out which felt like forever and the wine had cork in it. We are paying $13-15 a glass of wine so at this point we just asked for the check and a new glass of wine. The only reason I gave two stars is because the waitress was kind enough to get us another glass. read more

Had reservations with good friends for our Christmas gathering at 5:45 on a Saturday. Been here before and enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the wine. It was busy on a Saturday of course. This time, the hostess (or manager?) approached us after an hour and a half and said we would have to leave as the "table was reserved for someone else at 7:30". Never have I been told that by any restaurant staff. The server hadn't even brought us our check and we had barely finished dessert-it wasn't like we were sitting there just dawdling. Then, when I questioned her, the hostess argued that it was posted that you could only be seated for an hour and a half (couldn't find that on the website or Open Table where we made the reservations). Sorry~ if that's how you treat guests, there are plenty of other places to go. Won't be back nor will I recommend. read more

This place is modern and stylin'. Has a great atmosphere for friends or romance. Grab wine, split a cheese plate, or go full go and have a meal with dessert. It's a very nice open layout that lets you enjoy the chatter and liveliness of the crowd the menu draws in. Burger... delicious... cheese plate... delicious... Poema champagne rose... bubbletastic... Filet was cooked to perfection... Mac and cheese is gooey and exploding with flavor... the s'more dessert they made 3/4 yrs ago... I still think about it! They no longer carry it, but I ask every time I'm there. Certainly worth a stop! 10/10 absoloodle. read more

If you love wine and cheese then this is a must try for you. Everything about my experience here was great. Sat in the covered patio on a Tuesday night and was excited to see the amount of people here. While still following all Covid guidelines, I was excited to eat and drink here based off how many people were here on a week night. Went with the large cheese board for the table as a starter and the burger for my entire. The burger was cooked to perfection and the cheese board was out of this world. The wine was the perfect paring to my meal. Our waitress was great and our overall experience was awesome. The Rocky River Wine Bar is the perfect date location. I look forward to coming back here. read more
