After reading the rave reviews of my fellow Yelpers, this past Friday, I coordinated a girls evening at "That Wine Place". The layout was nice and the vibe was chill.
Highlights: I sipped on the two different Chardonnays listed on the menu (not too bad- a little dry) and ordered the Italian Antipasto cheese plate with a selection of the Aged Manchego, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Goat Cheese. Yumminess and very nice presentation! The live music is definitely very nice.
Missed Opportunities: Although the waitress was very nice, she was not very attentive. She spilled 2 glasses of wine, dropped silverware, failed to mention first-timers are offered their first glass of wine for free, and she messed up the bill 2 times! I was over charged $15 (sorry I do not wish to pay additional $ without justification). She did apologize and refused a tip; I told her the overage was her tip.
The parking is such a hassle at Pembroke Gardens, despite all the restaurants and shopping ambiance. If you are patient and/or do not mind paying the $6 valet (parking is exceptionally scarce after 6pm).
All I had to do was walk in and look at their wine selection. Prices for retail were marked up 25% higher than most wine retail stores in South Florida. Then they have the guts to charge 25-45 percent more to purchase and drink THAT SAME BOTTLE there. For example (won't mention the wine), can buy the same bottle at 2 wine bars in Ft. Lauderdale for 19.95. This place charges 23.95 for retail to take the wine out. Â TO DRINK THAT SAME BOTTLE THERE??? Â $51.00!!! Â Wines by the glass on a few select wines may be reasonable at 9.00 per glass and from what I read the food is decent. But WARNING. They are ripping us off on purchases of wines by the bottle. To put in perspective you can go to a nice restaurant and pay RESTAURANT prices cheaper than this establishment. Â Be careful when buying full bottles here. Seriously a big price gauge!!! Â Big insult to our your intelligence, check it out!!!
Review Source:We had a really good time. The waitress let us try from different red wines before we could make up our minds. We ended up with our favorite plus a delicious appetizer of Baba ganouj and capresse salad, I wish portions were a little bigger though. Nice atmosphere great service! coming back for sure
Review Source:It's a little pricey, but I still like it. I eat before I come here so we are not inclined to get more than one entree of finger foods. The server was very friendly, and was knowledgeable about the wines. She didn't mind if we kept trying wines until we found the one we wanted to get a glass of. The only problem I have about this place was their live entertainment. They had some woman who thought she was Mariah Carey singing at the top of her lungs, and that in combination with a very small room doesn't work well.
Review Source:I love this place. Â Not as loud and rowdy as Ra and the Pub, you can have good conversation, and a great glass of wine (or 2..). The selection is overwhelming for me, and since I'm no afficianado I usually give the server an idea of my likes and dislikes and leave the rest up to them. Â Just learned on that on Thursday nights it's 2-for-1 6oz servings!
Only had a salad here, and that was great too!
Stopped in one evening with my husband just to wait for our friends and other dinner reservations in another restaurant, very politely the wine bar tender asked it's what wine we were looking to try, I was very overwhelmed worth the selection of wines that I requested he suggest something. He offered me and my husband some of the wines on "tap" ... we both choose a very delicious cabernet along with manchego and olives.. It was delish. Our friends joined us and also joined the selection of wine the bar tender selected. Very nice hangout spot.
Review Source:Loved this tiny gem.  We walked in and were handed free drink cards.  One glass of wine on the house? Yes, please!  There was a one man band in the corner playing rock classics.  If you're a tough critic, you probably wouldn't enjoy his performance.  I thought it was perfect for the place.  Didn't have any food, but definitely a good spot close  to home for a nice quiet date in the middle of the week.
Review Source:This little shop/tapas bar in the Shops @ Pembroke Gardens is quaint. It has a huge variety of wines (including one of my Napa hard to find wines-Cakebread Cellars YAHOO) & some standard bubbly. At night they offer you a free glass of wine & you can sample other wines by the glass at moderate prices if you don't want to go for the bottle. If you do go for a bottle, know they'll charge you a corkage fee which I didn't like. Â You're a Wine bar, you have to open bottles. If I'm buying the WHOLE bottle, I shouldn't have to pay more for it. There was a guy playing in a keyboard that I could do without... But other than that, I'm sure we'll be back when shopping in the area. :)
Review Source:There's nothing better than walking past a little wine place and having a hostess hand you are coupon for a free glass of wine. Â We certainly weren't going to say no to that! Â And so we ended up at That Wine Place on a girl's night out. Â If you need a nice quaint place to have a glass of wine and unwind from the stresses of holiday shopping? Â Then That Wine Place is the place for you! Â With their wide variety of wines and their nice selection of appetizers, That Wine Place will not disappoint. Â Not too crowded and not too empty....just right. Â And if you're lucky, you'll come around just in time to listen to the live music or catch that game on one of their several flat screens!
Review Source:Sometimes a place leaves an impression, and "That Wine Place" definitely did on me. I walked in here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend, we were casually shopping at the Pembroke Gardens when we passed this quaint little spot. My friend backtracked a few steps and requested we stop in, for she had been searching high and wide for a bottle of wine she had tried at a restaurant, yet she couldn't remember the name or even what kind of wine it was. All she knew is that is was red, and was sure that if she saw the label she would recognize it and was somewhat certain it began with the letter P. Thus began a wild goose chase.
The store/cafe itself is very cute and especially clean. A full wall of wines and wine accessories of the left, a bar on the right and couches/ tables in the back. There was one lone guy working, but seeing as me and my friend were the only ones in the place, it worked out a-ok. I don't know this guys name, but I am going to call him Bob. Bob was especially helpful. My friend explained the situation about the ongoing search for the elusive red wine and Bob went through books, consulted Google, even went on the restaurant website (which I don't know why my friend didn't think of that herself). After about 30 minutes, alas, the wine was discovered! Unfortunately, That Wine Place did not have the bottle, but Bob told us he order it for her and then offered a discount! Talk about customer service! On top of this, Bob offered us wine samples. Wine samples aplenty. Along with our samples, we got some edumacation about the wine we were sipping. I always appreciate when employees are knowledgeable on the product. When we left, I had a happy buzz going -that's how you know it's good. Â
I did not try any of the food, but I plan to. I did view the menu which is not extensive, offering only a handful of tapas and cheese dishes, however I am going to guess that what is offered is fresh and yummy. But I will update once I know for sure :)
That wine place "That Wine Place" is such a fine store. Their selection is top notch and offers you a wide range of prices, from "under-10's" to high end bottles. If you do your research, you'll find that the folks at "That Wine Place" have also done their research. Even the under-10 bottles are delicious and have received some critical acclaim.
I really appreciate their packaging when you purchase a bottle. A very nice, purple wine bag, with a nice logo sticker. But honestly, it's not really necessary. The caring and concern is established once you walk in the door, and the bag is just an excess. Save the money. Remember, the best part of the wine is inside the bottle, not on the outside.
I appreciate the occasional live music, but they may want to encourage the performers to bring the amps down a few notches. The place has a very live acoustic (lots of wood, and glass to reverb) and the electronically enhanced sound becomes a little too much.
The bar is very inviting and the staff seemed concerned, helpful and easy going. On a recent visit, I bought an extremely inexpensive bottle of white wine. I wanted to make a white sangria, but couldn't bring myself to visit the dusty bottom shelf at Publix. My cheap bottle of wine was treated with the same dignity and appreciation as any expensive bottle. I left with a great taste in my mouth, thanks to their attentive service and clean, modern, inviting atmosphere.
Their weekly specials offer many opportunities for a "night out" with someone special, or even a group of friends, without having to go over the top.
I'm still on the fence about the name of the store. I get it. They are going for edgy, hip and simple with the name. Some days I love it, some days I don't.
However, I like this store and the touch of class it brings to this shopping center (plagued by RA Sushi) , every day. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see some of you at the bar enjoying a two-for-one night!
The hubby and I were looking for somewhere to go on Saturday night. We came across "that Wine place." Â In my husband's words this place is a "little piece of heaven." Wine + Cheese+ mma fights=the perfect night. To top it off our waiter was awesome.
We sat in the couches in the back. There were 4 flat screen tv's hanging from the wall. My husband told the waiter that he was an mma fan. Â He immediately put on the strikeforce fight on showtime. The hubby and I are MMA fans so this just completed our night. We ordered a bottle of wine and the international cheese platter (includes Muenster, Gouda, brie, feta). We felt like we were at home.
We were told that they also play the ppv UFC fights so its a guarantee that we will be back. Â I couldn't wait to yelp about this place.
