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.
Mike's Wine Dive builds itself to be a fantastic wine bar with it's appearance and setup, however it lacks from that point. Our waitress initially asked if we had ever been there before; handed us a menu and basically walked away without explaining much at all. We perused through the menu slowly, trying to figure out what to go with. Our waitress probably came by to ask what we wanted about four times, each time not offering a hint of advice or what may be a popular pick.
By the time I started to settle for a wine, I found that they were out of it. Second try, they were out. Third try, they were out. Nice to know..... The wine that I DID settle on, I later googled and found out it was pretty much a $13 bottle of wine that I paid $7 for a glass of.
Our appetizer was the Queso Fundido. It was OK, basically a bunch of thick, melted cheese with wedges of bread and some veggies. There was more cheese than bread, when our waitress decided to check on us after what seemed like eternity, she asked if we'd like more bread to finish the cold cheese dip. We said sure, about five minutes later she brought more bread that was literally black and burnt on the bottom. THANKS!
Needless to say, we were very disappointed and left after finishing our first drinks and appetizer. We will never return or consider giving this poor excuse of a wine bar a second chance.
