    Service was excellent. The choice of wines is outstanding. I had the steak frites, which is delicious. I really enjoy The Wine House -- consistently good and very attentive service.

    Probably one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The rack of lamb was absolutely delicious and friends had the rib eye and salmon and said it was great. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend

    Always a delight. Food remains top notch (though will admit their steaks need more seasoning to make them pop) Risotto is always wonderful as are their soups. Great selection of wines. A neighborhood gem! Enjoy
