That Wine Place

Stay away! Unless you happen to be walking in the mall anyway and want a glass of wine. The wine and olives were fine. Everything else was not.

I bought 2 bottles of sauvignon blanc-​first was Babich 2014 Marlborough. Second was Dry Creek 2012-​paid $ 95 for app $ 20 worth of wine. This was mid afternoon on XMas and I just wanted 2 bottles to go. Picked them off the shelf myself and handed them to the cashier. My mistake-​I overpaid by $ 75 because, by calling this little store a «wine bar», the owners seem to feel they are entitled to charge a 400% markup.
Yes, I need to learn more about wine, but it sure won’t be at this place!
One star only because 0 stars is not a permitted rating.

Company recently had an event here. Wine is ok, but not really worth the cost per glass. Service was extremely slow, and food was just ok. Would not recommend this place to anyone looking for good wine and food or a good time. Staff wasn’t very friendly, and did I mention they were slow? If company wasn’t covering the bill, I would’ve suggested a different place to my co-​workers.

Very nice place. Found it while waiting for some friends for dinner. Nice selection of wines. I love Pion Noir! I’ll be back if I’m ever in the area

I came here on a Saturday night, and there was live entertainment. However, because the band was inside the small restaurant, it was very loud on top of being packed. It was very hard to communicate with the person I was with and the bartenders. The list of choices is extensive, and with how loud the restaurant was, it was hard to get suggestions from the bartenders. I ended up choosing something that was suggested from Unilocal – that was a good decision.
There were about five people working at the bar. It was very hard to get their attention because there was a lot people not only sitting at the bar, but standing around the bar as well. I had a check-​in deal from the Unilocal app that a few of the bartenders did not recognize. It was for a free glass of wine. Two of them offered to ask the manager about the deal, but they never got to it. That was very disappointing.
Overall, it is a good place to socialize with friends, but it would be a better experience if the servers weren’t so stretched by so many customers. Prices are a little expensive, but they do have some great selections.

Love the atmosphere the staff is absolutely amazing
So many amazing wine to choose from and the good is just as good

I’ve been here a few times. I’m from NY and the inside reminds me a bit of places that you would find in Williamsburgh. Cool spot in the middle of a shopping mall.

Just AWFUL service! I was there for a friends birthday party. We ordered wine and food and tried to have a great time but, the place was so HOT we were using our menus to fan ourselves. There were only 2 servers for the entire place on a Thursday night. They had live music and even though we were sat in the FAR back, it was so loud, we could not have a conversation. The food was just OK not, worth the hefty price tags. The server said he was sending out a birthday dessert on the house but, it was actually put on the bill along with several dishes we did not order. We also did not receive some dishes we DID order. When it came time to pay, I took control since they could not do separate checks. I have no idea what POS system they use but, they got it ALL wrong. We spent 40 minutes dealing with the BILL alone! It was a nightmare and I wound up paying over $ 100 more than I should have. It’s pretty safe to say I will NOT be heading back to That Wine Place anytime… ever!

Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly hostess. She gave us the menus and asked us if it was our first time here. She explained the beer and wine menu. To my surprise they have an array of food items that pair perfectly with your selection of wine or beer. In addition to all its goodness this place has live music on Saturdays and Sunday’s. The Cabernet Sauvignon I tried was so delicate and smooth. It made my mouth water. I had such a relaxing time. I’m definitely coming back. Sometimes you just need to get away, listen to some great tunes, and drink a wonderful glass of wine. This is the place to do it.

This place is a total and complete waste. Went there last night for date night, and the waiter kept trying to upsell us wines we didn’t ask for. To the point where he was bringing out glasses that we didn’t request in place of what we asked for. One selection was so bad he said he’d replace it and give us a discount. When the check came, no discount. He said the manager wouldn’t allow it. We asked to speak to manager, told the whole story and she offered 50% discount on the horrible selection the waiter brought which wasn’t even what we asked for. When we got the check only a 20% discount was applied. Everything about this place was a bait and switch and empty promises. I will never go here again and will tell everyone I know to steer clear!!! Literally the worse service I have ever experienced in my life!!!

Great place to enjoy some wine and some good tapas speaking of tapas my favorite ones are italian Bruschetta, mediterranean hummus & italian antipasto great food to complement my preference Cabernet or malbec of wines I have been to this establishment numerous amount of times and I have to say I’ve never had a problem here whether it’s the food, service time or the staff. Which are always always very friendly and helpful but when I usually come here and if there busy. Then i do the one shot ordering saves a lot of time between waiting staff coming back to check on you.

Poor Service — even though there was more staff than actual customers. Very unprofessional and immature. I tried ordering 2 glasses of bubbly to be told that they didn’t have neither and gave attitude when I didn’t like their only recommendation they had in stock which was not similar to anything I was trying to order. Will never recommend and ended drinking nothing at all. Rhea was very rude and made us feel very uncomfortable

I really liked this place. Very nice atmosphere with music on some nights and will even give you a free glass sometimes. The bartender was knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. They made you feel comfortable and the wine was very delicious. Will even let you try before you buy to make sure it’s something you like. Get their number one red, the Merlot. They will know which one. I think it is from Napa but I’m not even a Merlot person (Cab Sav) and I liked it better than any of the other wines I tried. The cheese plate was also very good! I got cheddar with the garlic crostini and it was very delicious. Would try some more exotic cheeses next time.

This wine bar is not bad, but not great. I do recall coming here maybe two years ago and it was much more inviting. Now it doesn’t have that feel of wanting to enjoy a few glasses of wine.
The décor is nice. The outdoor seating is a great touch and the visible wine selection would make any wine connoisseur envious. However, the ambiance I have a bit of issue with.
To me, the elephant in the room is that it’s way too bright in there! I even commented to the staff how the lights take away from the mood and they said they usually don’t turn down the lighting till 8 p.m. It’s already dark outside by the time 8pm rolls around and I know many restaurants dim the lights so it doesn’t feel like they’re trying to be seen from space. Anyway, enough of that. On to the important part!
The wine selection is decent. I like a good cabernet, myself. I do recall their wines were fairly expensive. Now it’s much more reasonable. I highly recommend going there with friends as I feel it’s a much more enjoyable experience with company.
Overall, this is a nice little wine bar. Bring a friend and enjoy the night.

We just happened to be in Pembroke Gardens for dinner and still felt like we wanted to check out someplace else after a horrible dinner experience only to come up with That Wine Place, a wine bar I have been to before which really gave me a bad impression because they up charged their bottles of wine by 25% to drink in the store, otherwise known as a «corkage fee». I was really angry and insulted and walked out. It was my early days on Unilocal and could not rate this place better than a one star rating and wrote how I felt about it, giving it a terrible review.
Well, not really caring how that night went, we all walked in tonight and was kindly greeted by Rhen, who was so nice, informational and explained how this place works now. We both immediately got into a discussion on different wines and she seemed to have experience and know a lot about the different wines they were carrying and about various wine makers. I opened myself up to my frustration regarding my last visit here, and with a pleasant surprise she informed me that it was a big issue with many customers, and they were not willing to pay the kind of prices they were asking on in house bottles of wine. I was so relieved the owner listened and from what Rhen said, they are selling a lot more wine and along with their great tapas menu, are doing quite well now.
Rhen successfully recommended a great Grenache she told me was better than the original bottle I was familiar with on the shelf. She was very positive, and lo and behold, she was right on. It was a bottle of Red Right Hand which had a great fruity flavor to it. All four of us loved the wine and I was convinced this place has people here that know their wines and are not there to «rip us off» in house or out the door.
That Wine Place has a great tasting atmosphere, a nice size bar and lots of tables in the back as well as in front of the bar itself. Their tapas menu has never been an issue from some of the reviews I have read and we ordered their cheese plate with crackers and jam to enhance the tasting of our great wine. The tapas menu has quite a wide variety of item. Sandwiches, cheeses, meat balls as well as enough dishes to have a dinner there while drinking wine. Rhen spent quite a bit of time with us, was sweet, informative and loved her explanations of what they offer there now. Besides the free Unilocal coupon for a free glass of wine, they also offered a free glass of wine off their list of specific wines. Thought that was really nice, just to appreciate that we just walked in.
That Wine Place has different wine tastings every Tuesday night, and offers entertainment on the weekends. They do have a wide variety of different small production wines as well as popular higher end wines. They also serve beer, with a large selection of beer.
So glad we walked in again only to discover they were a lot more reasonable and does not cost us any more for a bottle of wine we want to drink there as it does to take one home.
Thank you, That Wine Place for listening to your cliental and doing what is right for your business in the future and mostly for your customers.

The sangria is no longer unlimited on Sundays. The server told us it was, but the manager wouldn’t honor it. We had a free drink coupon that they also didn’t want to honor. The manager was rude and wouldn’t honor the Unilocal coupon either. We came in with a group and will not ever return.

DO NOT COME BACK HERE!!!
Everything has changed and it’s not under new ownership. They allow you to check in to Unilocal and order the free drink… Then once you drink it, they tell you that they can’t honor it.
They tell you that their previously $ 15 all you can drink Sangria is now $ 25 but after you start drinking it, they tell you it’s NOT all you can drink.
They do not honor any previous promotions or coupons that they gave you in the past.
This place is a JOKE and they are just trying to rip you off and call you a liar when you call them on it.
Ridiculous.
I will NOT be back. Save your money and go someplace else.

Overpriced and they do not have a great selection of wines, or enough of a variety. The service was horrible.

This is a tough review to write because we had an unnecessary, awkward experience. I came here with a friend to experience some tasty red wines. We sat outside and it was lovely, and since it was still the holiday season there were pretty lights on the pillars outside. The waitress was sweet, we ordered the Earthquake Zin and it was fabulous (as expected, it’s my favorite zin). The waitress wasn’t around much but we are two chatty Cathys so it didn’t bother us. But we did notice a couple sitting across the way who was waiting for a long time with no service, so they up and left.
After our first glass, we asked the waitress to suggest something similar: a zin or red blend that’s full bodied, smokey, oak-​y and fruity. We let her choose and she came back with a wine that smelled like foot. I tried it and it was «wet» and tasted like peanuts. I know this might have been a good wine to others but I specifically asked for a wine with totally different profiles. We politely let her know that it wasn’t what we were expecting and she said she would come back with something else. But instead she brings samples? So I ask to try one more thing (since now I thought it was allowed) and someone else comes out and asks if we are having problems with our wine. This kind of threw me off because we never had any problems, we just figured sampling was allowed and we only wanted a replacement wine for the one that didn’t suite our requests. So I was told I didn’t have an old world palette. And at that, I just ordered the wine that we sampled. When she brought out our wine she asked if we would like water and we said yes. She never brought it out.
The first waitress was awesome, albeit a little slow, but she was friendly and I was happy with her. I was sad that she disappeared after the second person came out. So it was really awkward and we will forever have a laugh at the time I was told I don’t have an old world palette.

I went with a small group of friends for wine paint glass. Its nice to come and enjoy some girl time. Its $ 25 cash only and includes two glasses of wine. I haven’t been there on the weekends so not sure the type of crowd or the ambience but will give it a shot on of these days.
