    My review is strictly for ambiance. Had a cup of their wine but forgot the name. Came here on a Friday night. It was quiet and peaceful @ Vino. You see a few people just relaxing here with wine & cheese. We sat on a couch and it was comfortable but imo, the place is a little too quiet for me. Definitely the place to just unwind but not sure if you can have any serious conversations here without being overheard.

    It keeps getting better every time we go!  Great wine selections and the food is amazing!  We originally went with a groupon and keep going back.  It has a great vibe and the staff is excellent!

    This is a great gem in Alhambra if you are looking to relax with a group of friends or enjoy yourself on a date.  There is plenty of seating including comfy couches and some outdoor space.  The decor is modern and Vino has a romantic feel to it.  The service is attentive and fast.  I tried their sweetheart wine flight for $11 and all the wine was great.  We also had a margarita pizza for $9 which was enough to share between 2 people but not enough where you feel like you overindulged.  They also serve beer and I can see that they have great Happy Hour during the week and all day Sundays.

    If you like wine then this a great spot to check out. I like this place and I think it's also a nice place to bring a date.

    WINE:
    They apparently change up their offerings to keep things fresh. The staff here seems to be knowledgeable and I'd trust them for future recommendations. I enjoyed the wine here and I'm not the biggest wine drinker.

    EATS:
    Cheese and Charcuterie Board  - I like this but not all of the things on the board. The homemade bread was great. The Meats were good. One of the cheeses was alright. I'm not a big fan of nuts, jam, olives or blue cheese. They list most of the ingredients on their menu so this is definitely not a complaint. Next time I may just request another cheese other than blue...

    SPACE:  
    inside - there are spots at the bar, Individual bar tables for 2, and some larger tables with lounge set up

    Outside - id probably stick to sitting out here. There are three tables out in the patio. Its pretty nice out there and you have more privacy. There are also heat lamps out there.

    SERVICE:  great. Friendly, knowledgeable, polite and non intrusive.

    PARKING: street and parking structures. Plenty of free parking.

    This is a nice little whine bar, they have a nice selection of wines and some really tasty food. It's not a full on restaurant menu but what they do serve they do right.

    I had the meat and cheese platter, it was full of delicious goodies to try. My only complaint is I wish they gave bigger portions because it was so good.

    Hands down my favorite thing about this place is the bread they serve. I don't know what they put in it but it is literally the best bread I've ever HAD!!!!! Words cannot even describe how good it is. I would go there just to order the bread haha.

    Service is pretty good, the staff is nice and attentive.

    Decor is really relaxed, this is not a big place but it feels cozy and inviting.

    I would recommend this place to for before or after dinner drinks and snacks. Good for groups or a intimate date.

    Linguine and Clams is so good.  Of youve had the lobster bisque at Ruth Chris I would compare that to this sauce.  I had the tomato and cream mix.
    Bfs pork chops were dry tho.  Bread was mediocre.

    Where to start...
    FIrst of all, I love wine. I am an enthusiast, collector and above all, consumer. When I was brought here for the first time, I did not give it much thought for the mere fact that it was in Alhambra. I work in the city, live in Silverlake and did not think to find such a gem in the SGV. Yes, I know that says a lot about me but, I digress.

    We have had many a great interactions here, always had great service, especially with their somme, Jesus. Jesus  has such a wonderful understanding about wine that it has brought me back and back again, enjoying wonderful varietals, wonderful vintages and trying wines that I never would have on my own. His knowledge of wine and especially knowing what I like after asking for my specific tastes have made me more and more interested in this establishment than any other I've been too. Such attention to customer service is hard to find and I have found it here.

    The other staff is friendly and helpful but one is lacking in particular. An older gentleman, with silver hair and a stout demeanor, is generally inattentive, lacking enthusiasm and generally just helps himself and his friends. We have been there before, with no staff but with him in the bar and he has never been friendly to us, never has said a word to us and has never even greeted us.

    We have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars at this place, always had a great time but today, his behaviour is reprehensible. He kept on rolling his eyes at us, always looked disgusted at us and actually seemed bothered by us and bothered that we were receiving great customer service by his somme, Jesus. The drama doesn't start here. It has been weeks of disinterest, weeks of blaise attitudes and weeks of being just damned ignored. I assume that he's the owner of this place and all I can really say is, "Is that how you treat your customers?" Obviously I see you interact with your other patrons but why not acknowledge us? Are you disturbed that we're young, 20 something professionals with expendable income and actually know what we're talking about when it comes to wine? Is it because my demeanour comes off as flamboyant and overtly homosexual and that bothers you?

    Regardless of your reasons please be assured that we will no longer frequent this establishment. Your lack of proactive customer service has finally reached it's zenith and I'm happy to take my money to other, well established wine bars, perhaps Everson Royce, Vertical, Colorado Wine Bar and then the myriad of other, better places, with better food and better experiences throughout this vast city known as Los Angeles.

    My words of wisdom, to you folk that read this review. Go, have a glass, enjoy the wine, enjoy the pizzas. After this, he might approach you, he might say hello, but remember, it's probably all in jest.

    Great wine bar, pizzas and happy hour!!!

    I came here with a friend at 5pm thinking that all my friends would actually come on time, but they all came an hour to 2 hours late! However, the lady that sat us down was awesome. Well, we were the only ones in the place at that time so we had her complete attention. She did a great job explaining the day's specials and I went with their "Robles the Red" which included the Adelaida (a Touriga), San Simeon (a Cab) and the Barrel 27 (Syrah). Thankfully I had a livingsocial coupon good for 2 flights of wine and a cheese and Chacuterie plate. Couple that with their happy hour (Tuesday - Friday 3pm to 6pm) to order some 1/2 price handcrafted pizzas and you've got yourself an AWESOME place to hang out! We also ended up staying a bit later for the Flamenco Nights and got to enjoy some nice Spanish music!

    I must say, even though the hostess suggested a pricy wine (the Barrel 27) it was quite delicious! This is a wine bar so their suggestions better be on point! The House Lamb Sausage pizza was $$$! I could eat that all day long! But we ordered as much pizza as we could by 6pm.

    Bottom Line: If I had to take a girl on a date, I'd definitely bring her here for some vino and food and music! It's a pretty classy place with great service in the happenin' place in downtown Alhambra. Now I just need to find that girl to come here with next time!

    Beautiful lounge atmosphere! Came here after work with some coworkers and had a great time! Eric and a lovely lady (I didn't catch her name) helped us, and they were both very pleasant and knowledgeable! They were able to recommend the chorizo&clams pizza as well as the cheese&meat board. I highly recommend both!! The pizza is not too salty, since the chorizo is not very prominent. The crust is a medium crust, so it has a nice bite to it. The cheese board was absolutely divine! Yummy olives and homemade jam...mmm!

    I highly recommend this place for a date or maybe a night out with friends for a glass of wine!

    My return visit to Vino was extraordinary!

    After having a poor visit last month, I was personally contacted by the restaurant to give them another try. My boyfriend and his friend joined me for a second try at Vino and we are so glad we did!

    Our night was full of:

    - red wine (Spanish Flight and Picket Fence)
    - beer (Russian River)
    - cheese board
    - burrata salad
    - prosciutto pizza
    - chocolate hazelnut torte

    We sat out back in a well-heated patio on a beautiful Sunday evening. Jesus gave us the best customer service I have ever had in a long time. He checked up on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying the experience and the food. We were also checked on by three other employees to ensure we have a better experience than our last visit. Overall, I'll be back!

    Thank you for a great evening, Jesus!

    Local wine bar that has a great patio.  Don't bother with the happy hour menu.  Prices (other than half price pizzas) are not that big of a difference than their normal menu.  Cheese platter comes with great hot freshly made bread and unique pizza toppings.  The crowd is older.

    cheers to a local wine bar

    i like how knowledgeable the people here are when it comes to wine. but they know how to explain it in plain english for simple wine drinkers like myself. i've had some of the food here, but i only remember really liking the arugula salad. very light and refreshing. something light to hold me down. the birbet is great if you want something sweet and tastes like juice. the rose is bubbly and not too sweet. the vouvray was my favorite. it was easy but stronger. the ambiance is very nice. a chill spot if you want a quiet, relaxing night out.

    one of my fav spot in town and very close to work. Wednesday is their ladies night!!! happy hour is really good too. they always have updates of wines and food menu. Its a nice little spot. On some nights they even have live jazz or bands that comes in a play. Gives you a relaxing and classy feel. Everyone here is very helpful and knows their wine. Just gotta let them know what you like, and even if your not sure... surely they will find something that fits.

    food is good. salad is good. cheese plate is pretty awesome to share. desserts are always fun here because they switch it up every so often.

    wine of course, awesome.

    3.5 stars

    AMBIENCE:
    Classy wine bar in the 626! There are about 4 couches, many high top tables and seating at the bar.

    SERVICE:
    Friendly

    WINE:
    The sommelier had me try 3 different wines before I settled on a semi-sweet muscat. He also suggested some food and wine pairings.

    FOOD:
    Dried Fig & Pear Salad (with mesclun greens, shallots, cana de cabera, candied walnuts, sherry vinaigrette, & a balsalmic reduction) - tangy and sweet. It was my first time trying the Spanish goat cheese (cana de cabera) and will probably look for it at Whole Foods the next time I want to make a cheese board.  

    Chorizo with Clam Pizza, Margherita Pizza- dough was dense, and didn't seem fluffy nor fresh. The menu says that the margherita pizza are made with San Marzano tomatoes, which are supposed to be the best paste tomatoes, but I couldn't taste the difference. Perhaps the flavor was overcome by the odd texture of the bread?  My girlfriends ordered pizzas because they were looking for some comfort food after a stressful week, but since the pizza failed to satisfy our palettes we had to find comfort in the bottom of our wine glasses instead...D:

    TIPS:
    $2 valet (or find street parking)
    reserve tables/couches by calling ahead
    avoid the food, just go for the wine and cheese boards
    50% off a pizza with a yelp check-in (The check-in doesn't tell you this, but this deal valid with a purchase of a bottle of wine)

    VERDICT:
    I may be back to check out ladies night, happy hour, or special events to enjoy some wine and cheese but will steer clear of the pizza

    This is a great little wine bar! It was my first time here and I absolutely loved it. It has great indoor and outdoor ambiance....Food was delicious and paired perfectly with the wine. The service was awesome! Valet parking is only a few steps away and is validated upon request. It was a great evening out and I'm looking forward to coming back!

    I ventured out in Alhambra today and found this little gem. It was such a beautiful day so I wanted to find a good place with patio seating. This place had such a great patio with nice furniture- and BONUS! Sunday happened to be happy hour ALL DAY! I ordered the cheese and bread platter to start. The bread was amazing, really fresh and warm with a hint of rosemary. I got a peach Bellini to drink and then a margarita pizza as the main course. I loved everything, service was great, and I will definitely be coming back, especially on Sundays!!!

    I've been to Vino at Trios a few times and if I didn't live so far away, I'd probably be there every day of the week to wind down. I was originally invited to go by a friend and wasn't sure what to expect, since my knowledge of wine was limited.

    I had a wonderful time.

    From the moment I walked into the door, I could feel something special about this place. The decor is lovely and they actually spruced it up for the holidays. In addition to the bar area, there  is a comfortable couch and a few tables set up throughout encircling the bar. There is also seating outside leading to the entrance in the back for those warmer days or when you feel like braving the cold.

    I came starving on my first visit so I ordered an arugula topped pizza, and it was delicious. I've tried the mac and cheese and a few other pizzas, and none of their food has let me down at all. Instead, the food is so good here that it is setting new standards in what I expect for places I go out to in general. Its the kind of food that makes you always want to order the same thing because of how good it is. When you come, try something different each time. I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised!

    I conversed with the sommelier for a bit and he had me try a few different drinks. I don't remember which I picked but I do remember the service that I received. If you aren't too familiar or know what you're looking for in a glass of wine, it can seem intimidating because you don't want to feel like a novice, especially in a place like this. Much to my delight, everyone here WANTS to help you. I've tried three, four, sometimes five different wines until I found one that just fit the bill for the various evenings I stopped by. I was never pressured into "liking" one more than another and actually found myself enjoying the wines so much that since coming here I have purchased at least two bottles for myself.

    When everything is said and done, you really feel good after leaving a place like Vino at Trios. Its almost like going to the spa. They take good care of you with their scrumptious food, delicious wine and impeccable service. If I had one bad thing to say about this place, it is that it has gotten me addicted to the finer things in life.

    Got a Groupon and enjoyed 6 glasses of wine and Cheese and Charcuteriz Board with my wife in a Wednesday night.  The cheese and other stuff taste great, matches the wine selection.  The place is not busy, but not too empty either.  Service was good.  There was even two musicians play tuba and violin through out the night, which greatly enhance the characteristic of the place.  Over all, it's a nice place to hang out.  I will be back even without the Groupon.

    1/2 off pizza during happy hour-awesome.

    had the kabocha squash pizza with balsamic reduction and pinenuts.  it was a tad too sweet but otherwise pretty good.  a lot of crust/bread for ppl who likes crust.  if youre not starving, a pizza can easily feed 2.

    happy hour includes wines ($6) and a beer ($4) as well.  comfortable decor and ambiance. easy parking behind.  you can do valet as well in the same parking structure...but why do valet when parking is free?

    I love this wine bar! It is located conveniently in downtown Alhambra, next to boiling crab. The decor is amazing! A large square granite counter in the center of the bar that allows customers to casually sit around the counter. There are small sofas lining against the wall that grants more intimate seating arrangements. Aubrey, the main waitress, is wonderful as well! She recommends great wines to pair with their food/dessert. Wines are priced fairly at about $6-$10 per glass and $14 for flights.

    This is just a mini update to my previous review. I still like Vino and would recommend it to others (details on why are in my previous review). In fact, I have and those people are also fans and have become regulars. Anyhow, on to the update. I was just there on Wednesday night and they changed up their wine list. The reason why I have to note this is that the prices on the new list are higher than the previous list. So I guess they are now close to if not the same price as places in Pasadena and DT. I just felt the need to write this update because in my previous review, I raved about the great low prices for good wine. Though the prices are higher, I still think it's a nice place close enough to home with good service (there's a new somelier, Jesus and he was super nice, friendly and helpful), and I still give it 4 stars, and will continue to come here.

    Happy Hour! Tues-Fri 3-6pm - entire lounge area; 1/2 priced pizzas & discounted wine/beers

    Who would've thought this place would exist in Alhambra?? I've walked past this area numerous times (mostly for the Shakas & Starbucks across the street) but I've never noticed this place until I was looking for a good HH spot. It is a bit easy to miss (next to Charlie's Trio on 1st/Main).

    This place is perfect for date night or just catching up with friends. Comfy couches with plenty of seats (indoor & outdoor). The ambiance is perfect. Service was great also!

    We tried their Proscuitto pizza (normal: $12; HH price: $6) and it was so goooood! The portion was also insane for the price! Perfect for sharing. They have a selection of 5-6 pizzas (price range from $10-16) and other various small bites (cheese platter, desserts, etc..). They also have a lot of specials (like Wednesdays night = ladies night; special wine bottle sale on Sunday) that they list on their website.

    Parking: They validate for the valet parking behind the restaurant or park for free in the public parking structure on 1st street or street parking

    Fantastic wine bar in the 626 area. I'll be honest, I wasn't really expecting something with as much class, ambiance and personality but Vino here has it all.

    The vino ...at Vino (can't resist!) is well-priced and well-rounded. You have a great selection, I personally like the schoolhouse a lot. The waitress was knowledgeable, attentive and charming.

    We ordered the sake oysters, which to be honest wasn't my favorite. You don't really get that fresh oyster zing, maybe because it's overshadowed by the accompaniment on top.

    However...the pizza was delicious, and I say that with great brevity and solemnity. The. Pizza. Was. Delicious. Sure the chorizo and clam topping was unique, interesting and added a great smokiness to the marinara, but something about that DOUGH was so damn good. I'm the guy who never finishes pizza crusts and passes them on to the lucky, lucky girl with me but I devoured every last bite. I don't know what they put in the water here for that dough but it's fantastic.

    So bottom line. Great service. Great wine. Great prices. Great ambiance. Great food.

    This is the first wine bar I've been to.  It was nice inside...rather small??....but since it was my first time, I really couldn't compare to others...yet.  
    The staff was very friendly, and we decided on the "sampler"......any 3 choices of glass wines.  
    After trying the sampler, we chose Chenin Blanc along with cheese and charcuteria.....which were nice......BUT, WOW!  I love their "blue cheese" (forgot the name).  I think the guy said it was made from goat milk??
    It had very pungent odor, but very smooth taste.  I LOVED it!!! ^^
    The lady was kind enough to give me extra when I requested, and in the end she also gave us discounts for being first-time patrons!  How nice of her! ^^

    Vino's in Alhambra is a really nice wine bar. Pretty large for a wine bar and I believe one of the biggest I have ever seen. The parking situation isn't that great but they do have a valet parking.

    When walking inside you can pick from the bar, to two person seats, sofas and it is nice and comfortable. I picked two person seats just because it is something personal and you don't have to see the servers the whole time.

    It was 5:50 when I got here and it was happy hour still til 6:00! Made it and I'm glad I did got to order a pizza and some mac and cheese. These two items did take a little bit of time but it wasn't bad at all !

    Also ordered the house cab which was $5.00. Overall the food was filling and the wine was delicious. Will be back here once again to have some fun and to sip on some wine. Wooohoo !

    Came here before it got good reviews on Yelp...

    ehhhh why not?

    AMBIANCE:
    Nice. Very laid back and the couch is awesome! It wasn't busy so it was quiet. They have a bar area, but we preferred the couch area,

    YELP CHECK IN:
    On the check in, it says 50% off pizza... oh sweet. What they don't tell you - WITH PURCHASE OF A BOTTLE OF WINE
    So we got a bottle of wine. One of the Rose cuz I love Rose.

    FOOD:

    Got the Mac N Cheese:
    1. Not truffled.
    2. Not very good. It had a weird taste. :/ Like too oily.

    Got the Clams Pizza:
    1. The clams was a good deal. We ate it individually since it was just on top of the pizza in it's SHELL!
    2. The pizza was not good.

    SERVICE:
    Nice.

    WINE:
    Rose... forgot which one but it was good. We shared it with the girls next to us cuz we couldnt finish it without getting tipsy. :P

    OVERALL:
    Go for the wine. NOT the food.

    Love this place.... great ambiance and a fantastic selection of wine paired food... curious about a wine- just ask Andrew and he will pour you a sample. i had the Cab Le Franc and it was delicious. they also serve beer on tap.
    I cannot wait to go back and sit in the patio during a warm summer night.

    My gf's and think nothing but the best of this place!
    The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful, which is always a huge plus! Although I'm not a wine connoisseur, they do have a nice selection of varietals and the bartenders allow you to try a sample before you decide on a glass!
    The ambiance is nice and cozy and they have a lit up patio area in the back as well. This is a great place to stop by after a long day or if you'd just like to enjoy some nice wine, great food with good company.

    Came in with 3 of my girls during happy hour. We shared mac & cheese, pizza, and each got a glass of vino. Came out to ~ 10$ per person.

    Ambiance - very cute and comfortable. I like the layout

    Food - the mac and cheese was REALLy great; tasted gourmet - great for the slightly stinky cheese lovers. The pizza was i think half off for happy hour. We chose the one with proscuitto and arugula which was also delicious although personally I tasted a lil too much rosemary. Still very fresh and perfect with the drinks though!

    Parking - across the street from starbucks, behind another restaurant, Vino at Trios is a lil difficult to find but as soon as you find the parking lot, you walk into the alley way and it's the store you encounter.

    Happy Hour was decent, I really enjoyed the Chirzo Pizza with Clams. Totally different dish that I still crave for.

    The beer prices can be a bit lower for Happy Hour, how about that magical $3-5 dollar range?? If yes, I'll be back.

    "Kick off your shoes and relax your feet.."

    I honestly felt like I was partying on down to the Xscape beat (well, minus Xscape). I came here on a Saturday night with one of my friends as a mini post test celebration. The funny thing is that I never found out what I drank. But I can assure you that the wine Andrew provided was real nice. (Btw his shoes were pretty rad.) I had a glass of a white sweet wine that I thoroughly enjoyed. My friend had a red sweet wine that he liked. I assume he really liked it since he had two glasses.

    My favorite thing about this place is the outdoor patio: comfy couches, heated lamps to keep you warm from the cold, and relaxing music. I honestly felt like passing out there bc I was that comfortable. Okay, I'll be real honest, I know I did for a few minutes. I'm sure the wine, lack of sleep, and just relaxing with my friend contributed to that too. But I definitely want to return to sip on some wine and nibble on some small bites.

    I love trying new restaurants and I love having new restaurants in ALHAMBRA! I was very surprised to see check-ins at a wine bar in Alhambra pop up on my Facebook newsfeed.

    One rainy Saturday night, instead of going out partying, my friends and I decided to try some new places. We went to get Italian food in Eagle Rock, then proceeded to Downtown LA to grab some drinks at one my favorite spots, The Library Bar, but there was a line... so we decided to try out this new wine bar I heard about in Alhambra instead.

    Upon entering the bar, I was quite impressed with the decor and furnishings. I couldn't believe I was still in Alhambra! The rest of Main Street needs to play catch up asap!

    We split a bottle of riesling (it was very reasonably priced at $20) and enjoyed the atmosphere. I got a chance to chat with 2 of the staff members there and learned about their wine tastings.

    I definitely want to head back soon to try more wines and the FOOD! We didn't get to try any of the pizzas that first time because we were full from dinner, but there was a particular pizza with clams in the shell that really caught my eye! I'll be back and hopefully that last star will appear once I try the food because I'm impressed with everything else!

    Happy Hour from 3-6pm during the week - 1/2 off pizzas!

    Regular prices aren't bad either (cheese plate was $14, pizzas were around $10). The pizzas are foodie-worthy - think Kabocha Squash with roasted pine nuts and rosemary balsamic vinaigrette or my Roasted Fennel with kalamata olives and pecorino. Extensive drink list for both wines and beers combined with cozy seating...this is definitely a good addition to the Downtown Alhambra scene. I'm looking forward to going back for one of their tastings.

    I'll start by staying that I am a big fan of Charlie Trio's and 38 degrees.

    When I heard that the same family had opened up a wine bar I knew I would like it. After dinner at a nearby restaurant we wondered over and since it was a cold night the outdoor seating was not available. We sat inside at the bar and had a wine tasting.

    I enjoyed the selection and the guy pouring the wine was friendly. For as many people as were there he was doing good job of keeping everyone's glass full and answering whatever questions people had.

    This wine bar seems to pride itself on having wines that are not available anywhere else and I think given the amount of wine on the market more wine bars should do this. I really don't have any issues with Vino at Trios.

    The only problem is that I came here after experiencing some other wine bars that I enjoyed more. A great addition to the area but some other wine bars have spoiled me.

    Just a quick update to what is becoming one of the best wine bars in the entire County of LA..

    They started doing wine tasting events every third Sunday of the month; this was after their amazing grand opening wine tasting event..The first one was this past Sunday and yet again they impressed. With a new wine list (see photo) and a promised new list every event we were all blown away..

    The apps they bring out to enjoy are something else, pulled pork in a teriayki sauce flatbread was the hands down winner of the night..

    All this btw after we stopped in Saturday night for wine and food; this night we enjoyed their Chorizo flatbread with oysters..you dont get four or five oysters the entire pizza is covered...yummm yummm...

    My wife and I came here like 2 weeks after searching for -Hot New Businesses- on my yelp phone app in the area. We got there just after 6pm and happy hour was already over (Happy Hour 3-6pm). The place was still pretty empty with two people there before us and the ambiance was mellow even as time progress.

    Moving on to the food and drinks...We ordered their mac & cheese which is under the "sharing" plates. This dish cost $12 and while I must say that it was a damn good tasting dish I thought the price was a little steep and I could have finished this dish myself it was soooo good. We also ordered the Margerita Pizza for $9 but it failed to impress. The dough was bland and chewy, the cheese was not tasty and stringy and it did not have enough basil. I would not recommend ordering this pizza.

    As for the drinks, they do have a nice selection wine and the best part is that they do give you a sample before you decide on which wine to order. This was very helpful for a wine novice like myself. One of the staff also gave us samples of their exclusive Arizona wine which were smooth and aromatic. I love how they are open to introducing you to the variety of wines and how the staff is overall very nice and attentive,

    So, if you're in the mood of exploring new wines or just want to chill somewhere over some wine I would recommend coming here and order the mac and cheese!! It's a new local winery without having to drive miles away and for me it's a hop, skip away.  Yeah!

    My boyfriend and I decided last Friday to pick up dinner from downtown Alhambra to take home and enjoy. Since I'm a food snob and we also wanted to enjoy a drink with our meal, we decided we wanted a nicer restaurant where we could order food to go from the bar, but also have a drink while we waited. We decided to visit Charlie's Trio Cafe, since we had passed it a number of times and hadn't had a chance to try it. Upon entry into the restaurant, we were a bit underwhelmed at the bustling, family-filled, casual style of the place, and decided this definitely wasn't the kind of place we wanted to wait for our food to go given our exhaustion and desire for quiet and calm!

    I recalled that Vino had recently opened next door, and I knew they were linked to Charlie's Trio, so I suggested that we could probably order food from the restaurant from Vino and have a glass of wine while we waited. We headed back to see if that was the case - upon entry, we were immediately greeted by a kind gentleman, and we told him what we were hoping for. He explained to us that they have their own menu at Vino, but continued by explaining that he was one of the owners, and he was happy to get us anything we wanted! He walked us through to Charlie's Trio to get the menu, provided great dinner suggestions, put in our order, and then told us they would bring the food over to Vino for us.

    Upon returning back to the Vino side, we were seated at a nice, quiet, high-top table in the corner, and a very kind waitress came to our table to get our wine order. She recommended a Cabernet for my boyfriend and a Malbec for myself. The wine was served promptly, and the to go order was ready in a short amount of time as well. All in all, it was an absolutely WONDERFUL experience. The owner came to the table to see how we were enjoying our wine, and he was incredibly accommodating! It's obvious he is devoted to true customer service, and we got the same vibe from all the staff we interacted with as well!

    Upon arriving home, we were happily relaxed, and were able to enjoy our food - which was delicious I might add (but which I won't review in detail here since it wasn't actually on the Vino menu!) I can't wait to return for the welcoming service and to try out some of the food items. These guys know how to please their customers!! Cheers!
