Great place with a mellow, wine bar vibe. Also a great place for two or a group to gather. The service is friendly and fast and all of the appetizers we ordered were delightful. I’ll definitely be back and will recommended to others.

If only I can take my entire experience here and bring it back to Kansas City… wine bars are my new favorite thing! We came here on a Tuesday night, and luck would have it that the special was half off bottles of wine. My sister and I aren’t wine experts, so after browsing the selection, we gave up and asked our waiter for a recommendation. He let us sample the Wildewood pinot noir. A winner! Not too dry with light, lingering finish. The highlight of the night, ultimately, was the tableside mozzarella service. We ordered the semplice — sea salt, cracked pepper, olive oil and baguette. Our presenter did everything with such ease and shared his knowledge with us. He added cracked pink pepper berry on top of the cheese which was delightful. Since you could only order 1 per table, we deliberately ate it slowly to savor the experience. We also tried the smoked fish dip which came with saltine crackers and jalapeño slices. And for dessert, the bread pudding topped with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream was the perfect finish. Service was top-notch. They took such good care of us, so I am very thankful!

The food, wine, service and atmosphere are all top-notch. The décor is dimly lit with relaxing music playing. I’ve always had prompt, friendly service from the staff. The food is just excellent. The menu changes seasonally, with new options popping up on the menu often. Great wine and champagne. Everything is more than reasonably priced. Great value. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is really good for conversation and the wine selection and recommendations are excellent. Just say what qualities you want your wine to have and you will be offered the perfect match. The staff really know their wine. The dishes are well made and tasty but not so big that you get stuffed. Two of us shared a Margarita flatbread and it was perfectly enough.

From the second we walked in on a busy Wednesday, we had excellent service and experience. We only had to wait a few minutes before getting a couple seats at the bar. We are new to the area and came here because of the Unilocal reviews and the need for a great glass of wine. This place lived up to our expectations and more. The menu is on a tablet with an easy to navigate wine list(you can search by country and variety) which helps you quickly find what you’re looking for. After choosing an excellent bottle of wine(that was half off!) we enjoyed a cheese and charcuterie selection that was delivered to us by what appeared to be the owner/manager with an explanation of the structure and flavors on the plate. HEAVENLY. It is so refreshing to see a staff passionate about what they are doing. We also enjoyed a nice twist on a Madame Croquet. YUM! I recommend for a date night, girls night, celebrating something, or just want a great evening out.

Ummm… perfection. Owners and staff are amazingly friendly and you feel at home on your first visit. Great menu with great selection and interesting items. Get the shrimp cargot and any flatbread. This is the best addition to Wilton Drive! Don’t miss it on Tuesday/Wednesday, Thursday for specials.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I enjoyed everything about this place. When we walked in Tim, one of the owners, greeted us with a warm smile and conversation. He patiently explained the menu, drinks and happy hour specials to us. When I say the food was amazing, it’s truly that. If you like tapas, a cozy little spot, great wine and company, I suggest you give them a try.

This is my 2nd time coming here and I love this place. I really like the size of the place, and everyone who works there. There is street parking in front, just make sure you have lots of quarters. I was so excited to try this appetizer, they make in front of you. It was the homemade mozzarella they do by hand. I can’t wait to do happy hour again!

Cute little wine bar! Had tastings of wine cheese and small bites. The crackers mixed with the cheeses were made in house and the perfect texture! We had the house pino but they have happy hour daily from 4−7p with $ 5 glasses! The charcuterie plate had a fantastic blend and they event had a special app for my non pork friend, with cheese and white anchovies(non-fishy) that was mouth watering! Will be back!

Ok 5 Stars, but you say this isn’t in South Being Flaked by Reality Stars … Yet Wait… I am a foodie, constantly in search of that rare great find. Oddly fate takes me to Oakland Park off of Wilton Street, you would almost pass it by, Super Sushi dominates with Bright Lights, but take an extra minute and discover ‘The Naked Grape’ a two partner business that bust outs some amazing delicacies. Parking Lot across the street if you can’t find street parking! I have to give a shout out to ‘Carmen’ he made a great night just that much better by his suggestions and time he spent at the table ! Ladies Listen in. As a man I will have to say I probably haven’t eaten less at a dinner in a long while. Probably 12oz of food, but all healthy, tasty and well presented over 3 dishes. Hint, Have your guys take you here and you can walk to the parking lot and loose what ever calories you just ate! * I am happy with it all, I wasn’t starved and always I will go over ‘Presentation’ over Bulk any day! I like Taste!!! * This is Wine Heaven, so many to choose from. Consider the 12oz of food before you open up that Amazing 2nd Bottle. Or Prosecco that was amazing that we had. It was Goat Cheese dish to start with French bread Shrimp and Mussels, I hear you. but no… Back up and consider ‘Dishes’ In Foodie world, it is Presentation, Presentation, Presentation. And rare do I find the attention paid to the colorful, unique and fun dishes. The Shrimp was served perfectly in this 6 individual cups in one dish, the Mussels amazingly lightly breaded, served in the shells, presented very nicely. Dessert was goat cheese rolled in blueberry purée served with Gram Crackers in this cool little covered blue dish and tiny knives. We were presented with an IPAD, nicely organized into Lite Bites, Wines with actual descriptions of flavors, spices and ‘Chocolate with light Pepper and Oak notes’ kind of descriptions that few and far between only to proclaim«Malbec’ Thanks Naked Grape Owners. It is a very romantic venue, small seating. I highly suggest reservations, it was filled on this Friday Night. Add this one to your next ‘Night’ Out with Lovers, Friends or anyone. Give this Venue some attention and enjoy a night out at a truly cool Venue!

Love this place! Great selection of wines, awesome food and even better company. I came by myself fulling expecting to stick my nose in a book and enjoy a glass of wine while reading. Instead it felt like I had been invited into a friend’s home, sitting around the kitchen table talking about life to the owners, staff and other patrons. Already looking forward to my next visit.

This is the perfect place for a decadent, or simple, snack and a glass of wine. This lovely little wine bar is located in Wilton Manors, and one Thursday night my husband and I arrived and relaxed at their wine bar. I believe the owners were the people behind the bar and creating our food. They have half price wine bottle nights on Tuesday and Wednesday, while Thursday is happy hour all night. I think next time I will come on Tuesday or Wednesday since none of the happy hour wine selections tantalized my taste buds. Their menus are on a tablet, so you can explore all the different selections digitally. From 5 – 7 the happy hour specials on tapas dishes are a great deal. We ordered our wine after some recommendations, and happily sipped while we waited on our order of the chicken liver dish and the thyme, honey and lavender Camembert. Some people trickled into the restaurant and we had some lively conversations with the people working there and dining there. We talked about the changes happening in the dining scene around us and our favorite places to get some great grub. When our food arrived, we lazily snacked and let me tell you that the Camembert dish is out of this world! I love brie, but their concoction is the best cheese dish I’ve ever had. We actually can’t wait to go back to reorder this beauty. Lavender is a tricky ingredient to get right, but oh did they succeed! We weren’t quite full yet, so we also ordered a mushroom flat-bread and it was delicious. The wine flowed, the tapas were amazing and I cannot wait to come back and have some more. They are constantly getting unique bottles of wine and they even make some of their dishes on site(like the chicken liver and the tableside mozzarella).

Love wine bars. In my mind being in a wine bar automatically makes me classy, though I’m sure some would argue the contrary after I’ve had a few glasses. I came here for a girls happy hour on a Thursday night. Thursdays happy lasts all night long. Happy hour consists of $ 5 glasses of wine(they have a list of one of each of the popular varieties to chose from) as well as $ 5 tapas. Being Unilocalers, we had to get a full experience and ordered one of each of the $ 5 tapas. Honestly they were all pretty great. The caviar and blue chip may have been my favorite(again, caviar=classy). I was pleasantly surprised by the anchovy tostas, they had a spicky kick, and whatever that balsamic glaze was that accompanied all the tostas with the bed of arugula was heavenly. I kept dipping bread in that. I was also thrilled with the olive plate. Love trying different olives. Once we had made our way through the $ 5 snacks, we moved on to the main menu. Definitely do not miss the camembert cheese with lavender and honey. I’m not really one for sweet and definitely prefer salty snacks, but this is a must order. The spinach dip was good, but honestly they have so many other more specialty choices, I would suggest going a little outside the box instead. Now for the wine. I stuck with the $ 5 menu trying the pinot noir and the cab sav. They are very particular here and serve all their wines in a corresponding glass… again, classy! The pours are quite generous and I definitely felt that happy hour was a good deal. The atmosphere here is homey and lounge like. We sad on a couch which had a coffee table in front and we were able to pull up a few extra chairs as others joined us. Under the coffee table were trivia games to get the conversation going and pass the time. The service was great. I can’t wait to come back. It’s the perfect location for a romantic date night, but also great for girls night out. They are closed Mondays but once a month do a wine and cheese tasting that day you can buy tickets for in advance. I will definitely be working that in at some point, and I definitely need to try their Tuesday/Wednesday half off bottle nights.

Wilton Manors continues to impress me. I have yet to go to a restaurant that isn’t top notch here… Naked Grape might be one of my new favorite places. First off — ½ off bottles of wine on Mon/Tues and special bottles on Fri/Sat that they do ½ off of. That’s pretty great. There were 4 of us on a Tuesday — so naturally we went with some ½ off wine. We started with an Oregon Pinot and then switched to Merlot from Washington. Both were great! I came here with 3 lovely ladies — the awesome YSBUYE Committee to celebrate the crazy, insane week we had. We reserved a table. I didn’t realize how small this place was — but I’d recommend calling ahead. They also have some outdoor seating, but I think we had the best table in the place — a 4 top right next to the window. The food here is incredible. Here’s the rundown: Tableside mozzarella — They make the mozz RIGHTATTHETABLE. Pretty awesome to see it come to life. After it’s pulled for a few minutes, they plate it with prosciutto and fig jam. This was incredible! Pâté — I have never had pâté — and I now why. I should of known liver wasn’t my thing. Mac and cheese — Might of been my favorite thing. Served in a skillet. Our server said they make it with whatever cheese they have leftover from the day before. It was fantastic. BLT Flatbread — This was recommended by our server and he nailed it(come to think of it, he recommended almost everything — and nailed it each time!). As he told us — if you like bacon, get this! Meatballs — I usually don’t like red sauce… but… THIS sauce is incredible! Now, this is a VERY small dish — it comes 2 meatballs per order… but with a ton of sauce and bread to dip in it. It also comes covered in a healthy cover of cheese(Sorry Ashley, I took most of it haha) The food is fantastic — but the service is even better. The entire menu is on an ipad — and the server was swiping away to find his favorite bottles of wine for us. The Owner also came by and touched our table — chatted us up a bit and explained his weekly specials. I wish more places had this… it’s such a nice touch, and a quick 2 minute conversation can really make the difference. I’ll be back soon for sure!

This is a perfect choice for date night, softly lit with amazing service and great wines to choose from. I had a great date with Blue, Greshka and Savanna =P Since it was Tuesday all bottles of wine were half off. The waiter was amazing and guided us through the evening since it was our first time. Since the lighting is so low, it’s great that they have electronic menus on tablets to easily read the wine list and food menu. The waiter suggested we try a Pinot Noir from Oregon to start and finished off with a great Merlot also from Oregon. Both were really lovely. We asked his suggestions on the menu and ended up with an array of delicious food to accompany the wines. Tableside Mozzarella with Proscuitto di Parma and Fig Jam — really delicious and it was a great presentation of the final process of making mozzarella. I love a show and he was a great entertainer along with a great cheese maker. This was my favorite for the evening. Pâté — they informed us this one is housemade. Unfortunately not my favorite pâté, it was a bit too thick and didn’t have that creamy flavor I look for in a good pâté. BLT Flatbread — the flatbread is served on more of a cracker than a bread. Light, crispy and airy, unfortunately it made it a little hard to eat with the toppings. But I loved the flavor of the bourbon bacon jam. Macaroni and Cheese — they told us this dish changes week to week as they use the leftover cheese ends from all their cheeses to make it. It was really good, creamy, not too greasy and had a great crust from being baked in the oven. Meatballs — very good, quite meaty with lots of cheese and marinara. Comes with a side of toasted bread, which is great for dipping into the sauce. Service here was absolutely fantastic. Everyone who came to the table, from the waiters to the owner, were so friendly and accommodating. It shows when someone genuinely loves what they do and they were just so excited to tell us about the restaurant. I will be back here very soon for a date night with Fernando — especially for half off bottles on Tuesday or Wednesday nights! PARKING: On the south end of the building there is a small lot of 5 – 6 parking spaces. This is free parking for the building, so definitely park there if you can. If not, there is street parking directly in front or a lot just on the other side of the road. Make sure to pay your street parking, as the parking authority seemed quite on top of the parking times. SPECIALS: Tuesday and Wednesdays are half off all bottles of wine, great for trying something different or more expensive than you might normally. The rest of the weekend the owner chooses one bottle to showcase, which he offers at half price as well. Every third Monday they also have a wine and cheese pairing for $ 25 plus wine specials(except Sept and Dec). They also have happy hour specials on Thursday evenings from 5 – 7.

Side note — I returned here less than 48 hours after my first visit. Yes it’s that good. Perfect happy hour spot and they have lots of games to enjoy hanging out. Get the caviar and blue chip snack! Wine and cheese are easily two of my favorite things, so when friends suggested we do tapas to celebrate a successful YSB, I remembered Naked Grape.(Hard to forget when two of your most trusted Elite friends have given them 5 stars! Shout out to Michelle C. and Michael C.) Oh, and it didn’t hurt that it was a Tuesday, and all bottles are half off! As Michelle C. mentions the menu is an iPad, so it’s easy to scroll through all the options, and really simple to search their wine list since you can categorize it any which way you’d like. We started off with a Pinot Noir from Oregon based on suggestions and loved it. Our second bottle was a Merlot from Washington which was also amazing. Loved that they switched out our stemware between bottles and selected the right glasses for each grape. These guys know their wines! Ok, so the food. There were 4 of us, which makes it even better when eating tapas since you get to try a lot of the menu. *We started off with the mozzarella prepared table side. If you’ve never seen this done before it’s a must. You’ll learn a lot and have a whole new appreciation for the cheese, plus it’s delicious. We went for the option paired with fig spread and prosciutto and it didn’t disappoint. *Next up, the liver pâté. Absolutely delcious and the perfect amount! *The Mac and Cheese — we were explained that all the left over cheese goes into this dish, so it’s never quite the same from day to day depending on cheese ratios. Finished by being baked in a skillet, this one is a winner! And our cheese blend was perfect! *The Meatballs — one or two per order, so naturally we needed to get 4 lol. We ended up asking for more bread to soak up all that delicious marinara. *The BLT Flatbread — flatbreads are one of those things that I can take or leave. This one, I’ll be taking. That pink sauce on there was superb, and the freshness of the tomatoes really was evident with every bite! Keep in mind this is a small space, but even on a Tuesday night it was about half full most of the time we were there. With couches and dim lighting this makes the perfect date spot, or dine outside and people watch! What’s really pushing my review is the service. All three of the staff members(two of which may have been the owners) were diligent in helping us with selections, enthusiastic when describing their concept, and overall just happy to have us in there. Second best part — all of their deals! DEALS — Half off any bottle on Tuesday and Wednesday nights! Happy Hour pricing all night on Thursday! Half off manager selected bottle on Friday and Saturday night! Wine and Cheese nights every 3rd Monday of the month for $ 25 pp.

Classy… yet unpretentious. This beautiful wine boutique is what every area needs. And what everyone needs in their life. I had been there many years ago when they first opened. Moving back to Broward one evening while dining out with our good friends Michael & Goldie, they mentioned how much they enjoy going here. We went two weeks in a row which for me means I must love the place! What is so awesome about this place: Indoor and outdoor seating, very warm and inviting décor. The owners are both so friendly, knowledgeable and fun! The tapas are delightful. They have some of the best cheese and baguettes. The one owner as I call him is the«cheese guru» and he has turned me onto some great cheese! Tim normally works the bar area and he will suggest some great wines. Happy Hour daily with $ 5 glass of wines. Weekly specials such as two nights of half priced bottles of wine. This boutique wine lounge is everything I enjoy about a night out. If you are looking to hang out in a very pretty atmosphere with excellent service, good wines and tapas, where you can sit for hours while sipping on delicious wines and enjoying the company you are with… check this place out. Very laid back where you can just sit and enjoy a lovely evening. The wines and tapas are on an I-Pad which makes it quite simple to navigate through the menu. They do offer a small selection of wines and tastefully chosen. I would like to see more of a variety of grape varietals such as more than one Cabernet Sauvignon to choose from etc… The owners make you feel so welcome and appreciate your business that it makes you feel very comfortable and that gives you that great feeling of wanting to spend your money with them. NAKEDGRAPE… what a perfect name! Such a fabulous spot to enjoy with good company. Cheers, see you soon!

We went for happy hour on a Thursday night. They recently changed Thursdays happy hour back to 5−7pm only. It used to be all night. Select glasses of wine are $ 5 and they have a tapas menu for $ 5. The décor is very modern and homey feeling. The owners are on site and very pleasant to talk to. There is a bar you can sit at or couches and tables. They also have about 6 tables outside. The server was excellent and knew his menu well. Their menu is on an ipad. We had a variety of tapas. –chicken liver –crostini topped with goat cheese and roasted red pepper – nothing special –hummus — no flavor… needed garlic –frittata– had spicy sausage that was good and served in a little cast iron skillet It was a great place to meet friends and catch up because you can hear each other. However, the food was nothing special. I prefer 13 even down the street for food.
