    The Wine House is always lovely. Service was excellent, as was the food. It was quieter than usual today as it was snowy outside and there weren't many people there.

    Minor comment - the selection of desserts was very limited. We chose the chocolate Turin but it was not great! Sorry - otherwise food excellent. The Ned wine okay but there are SO many more great NZ whites to choose from. My favorite is McBride Sisters!-

    Wine tasting with Kevin, is always fun. He is knowledgeable, and clever in his discussions of the various wines.

    Between us, we had the cod, the halibut and the salmon…all very flavorful and prepared with respect for the delicacy of the fish.

    We have been going to The Wine House for about 12 years now and it is consistently good. The chef and his staff have been there since the start of the restaurant which I believe is going to be 17 years this year. They turn out wonderful food from a small space which is another tribute to their talent. The rest of the staff is equally excellent; warm, welcoming, knowledgeable about wine and the menu and just truly nice people. All combined it makes for a great dining experience.

    Lisa, Ashley & the Wine House team made our New Year’s Eve dinner wonderful & memorable. It was elevated food (that is consistently great) with accessible wine pairings and a complementary kit royal to start. We had the best night! Thank you and happy New Year!
