I've enjoyed this venue every time I have been. I was there last Saturday with 5 others for lunch. We had fried oysters on nachos - yum! Coconut shrimp was to die for. I had the fish tacos which were tasty as well. My lunch companions enjoyed their queso fundido and sandwiches. I had an expresso martini that was great as well. In the past, I've enjoyed the Sunday brunch and S'mores dessert! Wine and other drink options are plentiful. Staff is always friendly and efficient. The ambiance is great for many types of dining occasions. This place is a gem in Wichita and I hope it continues to succeed. read more

I've lived in Wichita my entire life and just now got on the Wine Dive train. I would first like to rave about the Veggie Cobb salad. I order it with the Parmesan Chicken and it is the best salad I've ever had. It comes with all the veggie fixins and the amazing deviled eggs that are on their appetizer menu. So freaking good! I find myself needing less dressing because the deviled eggs add so much flavor. The next is the burger with truffle fries 15/10. Love everything I've had so far and can't wait to go back. Extra points for a friendly and attentive staff. Keep it up yalllllllllllllll read more

Again another yelp review for easy on/off freeway returning from Tulsa to Castle Rock Groovy 10 star wine bar excellently chef created and plated plates salads and soups. Our wait person forgot to bring our wine (yes in a wine bar) but everything else was spot on 'happy we stopped here'. The asparagus soup was over the top delicious and my husbands hamburger was the BEST, absolutely the BEST hamburger we've ever tasted. Some kind of delicious local meat OH MY almost worth driving back just for the hamburger. We do know where to stop and eat on next trip. read more

Love the food and atmosphere! Perfect date night or girls night! I'm a huge fan of the wine options the club sandwixh

Had a great lunch a Mike's Wine Dive today with my mom. Everything was delicious! We had the hummus, she had grilled fish tacos and I had the chicken sandwich. Upgrade to the sweet potato fries drizzled with truffle oil, you won't be sorry! I could have eaten an entire plate of them! We had a great waitress who did a wonderful job of making suggestions on wines and the food. The s'mores were a great end to our meal. On a side note, the sandwich is huge. Could easily be shared. read more

First timer & loved it! Happy Hour Apps are amazing. Super nice atmosphere and Great Service (Audrey). Highly recommend!!

It's been a long time since I've been able to make it to the Dive, I've missed it badly. It's nice to walk in and see the same faces, what a GREAT TEAM! The food and wine, like always, fresh, tasty and excellent. The atmosphere, like no other. But...the Dive's Team of professionals and the attention to detail, way above the norm. The Dive is definitely on my top few go-to places in Wichita. read more

We were greeted at the door with a friendly smile and seated immediately. Our server covered the specials and offered great guidance on a wine to compliment our choice. Our meal was quickly delivered to our table. I suggest the crab cakes or the seafood Mac and cheese. read more

I've been a few times and have been mostly impressed. It's not a good place to bring kids, though, which I realized after bringing my kids.

Amazing food, and even better service. Best wine selection in Wichita and their cocktails are also some of the best in the city.

I would not call this restaurant "up-scale" but it's cozy and welcoming. I sat at the bar and ended up ordering the Coconut Shrimp and a medium-rare Cowboy Ribeye. Coconut Shrimp was fine but nothing extraordinary. But as I sat there waiting for my steak, the cooks appeared to be in high school or maybe just started college...Idk but I don't factor age in culinary skill but when they start to play with my raw steak and make gagging noises before throwing it on the grill, that raised some serious red flags. Steak came out to be medium - well done and the mashed potatoes was over powering in garlic. Serious disappointment for a $45 meal. read more

Heard this place was a cool divey place to order and hang out... maybe my timing was off. I wasnt really impressed. The menu had a few items that caught my eye but wasnt enough for me to want to try it badly. My friend ordered a cheeseburger with fried egg. Now to me, if I'm ordering such a burger I'd expect to see a yolky kind of egg, but in return it was over cooked, and the fries were good. They tasted lot like Spangles fries, call me crazy but I think the Steven family that own spangles might own this establishment as well. If so, the fry mystery is solved!!! But I wasn't as hungry so i ordered smoked salmon with grilled avacado. It was good. But nothing I would run back just to have. The customer service was lacking in hospitality as well. The waitress only had us and another table so I don't understand why there were many times throughout the dinner we sat waiting for water 5 mins at a time. read more

I came to Wine Dive for the wine. Could go somewhere else for dinner or bar food. Good interesting wine list with a fair number of well chosen BTG offerings and many by the bottle. You can make your own flight from what is available by the glass. The food I've had is fine. The service is spotty. I have been served by two wine aficionados that were awesome. I'd expect "Wine Dive" to be fans of wine. I have been served by two who just seemed to want to clear my dishes and glasses and shoo me out before I was done, and were all business. I am from out of town on business travel, and keep coming back for the wine list, but never know which kind of night I'll have when I walk through the door. read more

The food was good but the wait staff has way too much INK. I felt as if I was in a biker bar. It seemed out of place with a nice atmosphere and decor. The staff needs to cover up all the tattoos. read more

best place ever! mario makes the BEST mimosas in the United States of America! :P Please let Mario know!

We ordered a meal for pick up, due to COVID19, from Wine Dive. We didn't realize they were open for indoor & patio service. When my husband picked up the food, he was VERY impressed with how safe they were. Every single worker, the Hostess, the servers, the cooks, had masks on. The tables were spaced apart further than normal. And the food was absolutely amazing. We got the Cowboy Ribeye with an extra side of green beans and two desserts. BEST STEAK EVER !!! read more

Absolutely hands down a hidden gem in Wichita! My first time tasting the brunch menu and I was quite impressed. I went with a couple of friends and all entrees were spot on, from the steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, to the delicious French toast and Lobster hash! Then top it off with $5 mimosas, you can't go wrong with that! Will definitely be back again. read more

This is a fun, laidback neighborhood joint. The food isn't special, but the service and atmosphere are easy going.

Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Wichita. If you love wine this place is for you, yes the wine is pricey but they put your money to WORK. I have had the brunch, lunch, happy hour, and dinner here and it's top notch and consistent. I just had my 24th birthday dinner here and our server Ash (who I have had several times) was phenomenal. Great personality, knowledgeable, and so SO attentive and we definitely were not easy. It's a laid back environment and is the best place to be boujee. read more

Place was packed so glad I made reservations for a Saturday night. First let me say the meal tasted great just disappointed in the serving size. I ordered the island chipotle chicken. The chicken breast was a flat & small instead of being a full meaty well portioned chicken breast. It would have been fine for lunch portion but not a dinner entree for $20. My friend ordered the chicken fajitas and it looked like they had double the amount of protein than my meal. It was placed on a top scoop of rice which was so flavorful and usually I don't even like Spanish rice. Rice is cheap throw another scoop on the plate. I am not a big huge portion eater but this dish left me wishing for another bite. Kitchen should use quality chicken breast for dinner entree to set off their dish. read more

Delicious food! I absolutely love every seafood dish. Pricy but worth it. Portions are fair in size but the flavors are unbeatable. I love this place! read more

The fucking fried oysters were fucking amazing, so was the fucking fundido. On Sundays they have fucking $4 mimosas and fucking bloody marys. The fucking bartender, Erin, is the fucking shit. I fucking love this place! 10 outta 10, would fucking recommend The Dive. read more

We've been wanting to eat here for a while now and yesterday was our day. Walking into the place I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't as, I guess nice as I expected but please don't let that fool you it was 1 minute after they opened for the day. The wine selection is long, other drinks are available as well my wife ordered a white sangria which was delicious. I ordered a Sauvignon Blanc which was also refreshing. The waitress was excellent giving us everything we wanted, making suggestions, helping us out. My wife ordered the Dive Burger, which in her words was one of the best burgers in Wichita, and I ordered the fish tacos which were battered and fried white fish, pico, some type of Aioli and lettuce. But the home run hitter in our dining experience was the fries. The fries were by far the best fries I've had since we've moved here in 2015. They are lightly battered and fried and crispy and delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and will be adding Wine Dive to the frequent rotation of lunch restaurants. read more

Wine Dive - Fish Tacos and the Dive Burger. - Wine Bars Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

I've been to Wine Dive several times on my trips to Wichita. While I do enjoy their food, the service is subpar. On one particular visit, my sister-in-law and I dropped in for a drink about 30 minutes before HH ended. I watched our waiter walk past our drinks ready at the bar for about 10 minutes before he delivered them to our table. So much for ordering another one! As our food arrived, I was excited to dive into my oyster nachos. It's one of my favorite menu items. I was however very disappointed to see that some of my nachos were actually missing the oyster itself - at least 3 from my dozen order. Sorry Wine Dive, it'll be awhile before I return. read more

This place is great!!! Staff is friendly and food is wonderful. Not to mention their sangria Happy Hour! Will be returning!

First place I'm reviewing on moving to Wichita, tried a couple other places so far as well but this was the first mid-upper price range. It was busy on a Friday night and we didn't feel like dealing with the crowd so we ordered it to-go. Coconut shrimp, Caprese salad, Chicken Pappardelle, and a Dive Burger medium rare. Caprese salad with regular slabs of mozzarella instead of Buffalo mozzarella? Fail. Additionally, the slabs of mozz were out of proportion with the tomato. Tomatoes were decent. We ate the tomatoes and trashed the sub-par cheese. There was the barest sprinkle of basil and way too much balsamic. Fail. Coconut shrimp were pretty good but the coconut coating had mostly fallen off and what is with the orange marmalade as an accompaniment? Probably because mangoes are expensive. Like the sub-par cheese, it feels like they took the cheap way out. The burger was ordered medium-rare but was cooked well. Fail. Other than that, it was just "ok". Chicken pappardelle had potential but missed the mark where it could have shone. The sauce was tasty but there wasn't nearly enough of it, the chicken was tender but there also wasn't enough of it in relation to the amount of noodles, and what there was has a lot of gristle and fat, which says "hasty prep" to me. There was very little spinach and overall the dish was mostly noodles. All in all, if this was Portland or SF or practically anyplace else I've lived I wouldn't go here again, but given what looks like a city devoid of a foodie culture, we'll probably give it another chance and hope for the best. read more

For New Years Eve on 2016, my date & I decided to have dinner here before heading out for cocktails elsewhere before the clock struck midnight. (Our impetus for going to Wine Dive was a previous occasion, where she had an enjoyable experience in 2011.) Hate to shock you all -- but Wine Dive was FIRST-RATE, as it was my 1st time attending: without a reservation, we got immediately seated. Our server, Audrey, was vastly knowledge & through in explaining all the entrees & drinks to suit our needs. Everything arrived within about 15 min & the taste? Savory to the last bite/drop! Bottom line: you cannot go wrong w/a visit to Wine Dive. (And Audrey? you were charming & a class-act from start to finish!!!) :) read more

Great Food Good Service Large selection of Wines This was Mike's Wine Dives first Saturday night to be open and it happened to be the same night of Wichita's annual Wine Festival. I didn't arrive until 9pm and the place was absolutely filled. Waiting time was guesstimated at 45 minutes for our party of 8. We waited an hour because it seemed lively, fun and the wait staff and hostess seemed very attentative to our needs. Lets not forget that wine drinkers aren't exactly pushing to finish a glass. We ended up waiting for our table on the outside patio, dining on appetizers "Mike's Oysters" and "Cocunut Shrimp", swirling one of the Dry Creek Valley Zen's they "had availible", I was wanting a Sonoma, but they were sold out. Must have been a busier night than expected because our table ended up buying the last bottles of Zen's. I believe they had 5 different Zen's to choose from. Wichita has been waiting for another wine bar for some time now, primarily because the other wine bar in town hasn't ever changed their wine list and is not known for good service. Hopefully this place will rotate the wine list seasonally and continue with the good service. Give it a try! read more

As a Wichita restaurant, Mike's hits most of the marks as well as any other restaurant in the city, and is worth your money. Something felt off about Mike's, and it began months before I visited. Perusing the menu, I could not find something I really wanted to eat - something that got me excited. The way ingredients were chosen and described, it all felt too orchestrated. Suspiciously perfect. Maybe I was adverse to the Caribbean and South American flavors that peppered the dishes - the plantains, the mangos, the jicama. Maybe I was just looking for something to nitpick. Ultimately, it was the draw of the wine bar that got me to visit, thanks to some friends that I was meeting for dinner. After all, wine bars are like regular bars for people who have money and nice clothes. I'm not a wine guy, so I'm not going to pretend I remembered what I had, nor how it tasted, aside from mentioning the service was what you would hope to find at a wine bar, and our waiter was plenty helpful at helping us find something that we would enjoy. There's quite a large bottle list, but the wines served by the glass were much more manageable and ranged the gamut. I was under the gun, so I had to default to choosing one of the specialties of the house, the Achiote Pork, a couple of Frenched pork chops served with grilled polenta, plantain arranitas, and topped with a mango jicama salsa and sweet onion marmalade. The menu stated the chops would be cooked to my liking, but it never came up, though the medium to which they were cooked was still quite sufficient for a juicy piece of pork with a bit of char from the grill. There wasn't much more of the salsa than to provide a bit of garnish, but the onion marmalade provided some sweetness to offset the pork. The arranitas were very similar to potato cakes, and I would have liked the polenta to get a bit more crust on the grill - it held together, but it was pretty soft. The two dishes that seem to receive the most acclaim at Mike's are the Wild Boar Ragu and Seafood Mac and Cheese, which appear to simply be variations on the same cavatappi. I'm not likely to go to a restaurant and order pasta with meat sauce, and even after trying a bite (it wasn't as heavy as I was expecting), I don't think eating an entire bowl of macaroni and cheese is my idea of a main dish. The worst thing about this menu was the Queso Fundido, which I found to be a little grainy and I thought they skimped on the dipping ingredients a bit. Not that we didn't eat it all, of course. Still, no matter how I tried, Mike's got the best of me. God knows what I'll order if I ever return, but we're operating in a dearth of wine bars in this city - I should have just said it was good and shut up. read more

Good food and wine selection but both are overpriced. Also, gets crowded easy. A little better in warmer months when people can use limited outdoor seating. read more

One of the reasons Mike's is a terrific place to go in Wichita is because it is one of the few restaurants in the city that gets it right on all fronts: creative and interesting menu, appealing but not ridiculous concept, attentive and knowledgeable service, and excellent atmosphere in a well-designed interior space. No bad art or anachronistic tablecloths; no bad attempts at Italian; an actual competent wine list (not great, but not aimed a true oenophile either, really); really nice list of martini cocktails. It does encompass what is good about this city: it is creative and funky without being pretentious or absurdly showy--it is understatedly hip, kind of an inverted Portlandia, that, rather than threaten to drown in its own vanity and self-consciousness, welcomes and just kind of exists in its own state of charm. There are several things to recommend on the menu. They know how to prepare beef, which is always a high point for me; I had the best burger I've had in Wichita there (the 8 oz. kobe with bacon and brie, clearly hand-made, blackened, and pink in the center) and the steak frites is also excellent, a well-prepared cut served with balsamic reduction. Standouts among the appetizers and desserts include the drunken bread (crumbled baguette, gruyere, white wine, parmesan, thyme) and the chocolate torte. Too, the prices are quite reasonable given the overall high quality of the menu; the Creekstone Farms 6 oz. filet is $22, for example. The menu has its predictable moments, such as the coconut shrimp appetizer and the ahi tuna entree, but compare Mike's fish tacos with the much-lauded ones at Sabor ...Mike's is competent enough that, if you don't want to go all out and try the wild boar pasta or the chimichurri-drizzled deviled eggs, they serve things loads of other places have, yet still impress through quality ingredients and execution. If I had to choose one restaurant for an out of town visitor that possesses quality and a sense of what Wichita is, Mike's Wine Dive would have to be it. read more

Mike's Wine Dive is a cool place. I came here with some friends while visiting in Wichita and we had some tasty food and satisfying spirits to go with it. The atmosphere is very nice without being pretentious. It was a bit loud in there, but over all it had a nice energy for a Friday night. Nothing too crazy. We were able to get a table right away, which was good because we were starving after our 4 hour drive. We started out our meal with a wonderful thing called Drunken Bread. Oh my God this was good stuff. It was like a savory, boozy, cheesy, bread pudding. The dish consisted of pieces of baguette, gruyere cheese, prosciutto, white wine and parmesan cheese. So, so, sinfully delicious. There were four of us splitting this, and it's a good thing that was the case. It's very rich and meant to be shared. I highly recommend it. For dinner I had the steak sandwich which was prime rib, caramelized onions and blue cheese all grilled to perfection on delicious bread. The prime rib was so tender and flavorful and the combo of flavors was awesome. For my side I got deviled eggs. That's right, DEVILED EGGS! I couldn't believe I could get this as my side. I was so excited. These little babies were delicious. They were incredibly creamy, topped with green onions and balsamic vinegar and herbs. Mmm mmm. Delish. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals and I enjoyed the bites they let me have. My boyfriend had a burger that was top notch and he got sweet potato fries drizzled with truffle oil on the side. The fries were heavenly. The service was pretty decent, but definitely the weakest link of the night. It took quite a while to get our order in and also to get our check at the end. Other than that, my experience at Mike's was a great one. read more
