If you love wine, you must visit Wine Experience Cafe. The spacious dining area offers several seating options, with full length windows and a view into the kitchen. The staff is well versed in the wines available, and our server was able to suggest the perfect pour for each of our desired flavor profiles. The bread basket was so good that I am going out of my way to point it out here. Might I also suggest getting one per person – I did not want to share! The hot honey pizza had just enough spice, but it would have been even better cooked a few minutes longer. After our meal, we were able to take bottles home with us from the shop connected to the dining room. This spot is quite the treat!

Had our first experience at Wine Experience and it did not disappoint. From the friendly service, wine parings, the melt in your mouth mashed potatoes and house made pasta with perfectly seasoned lobster, and the steak you could cut with a butter knife, everything was top tier quality. We will definitely be back!

Experience. That sums it up. From thewe entered the door tonight for the special Chilean Wine Experience we were treated like friends… maybe family. The open cafe, the beautiful ambiance were only made more welcoming by the gracious, warm reception by the owner and employees… literally every employee… seriously, how do you even find employees this amazing during post pandemic times… I don’t know but you’ve done it. The experience was fun and informative. The food was spectacular. Every course was special. The wine was different and amazing. The value was actually unbelievable for the quality and quantity of good and wine we were presented with. I couldn’t be happier with a Thursday evening well spent. We will be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We just got back from the wine experience & sorry to say the waiter tried to rip us off. Quite the experience! One of our party ordered a glass of Rose’ & the waiter charged us $54 dollars for it. Thank goodness my friend saw the mistake. My words to everyone is “Be aware” if you go there. When we challenged the waiter he was almost like, “Oh Geez I got caught this time”. Honestly, first time eating there & last. Good luck!

We were a party of four and had all been to The Wine Experience previously and loved it. This last visit was subpar. The food was meh, the appetizers took over 30 minutes to arrives, the server knew nothing about the wines or how to serve them, our main meals came out at different times, and the whole thing took waaaay too long. We were there for three hours on a slow night. I doubt we will be back.

This place is amazing. We exclusively purchase wine here. They do all the curating and only bring in great stuff at all different price points. Bonus they hold events where they do Wine/food pairing for you.

The mashed potatoes here are amazing, as well as their charcuterie boards. My husband loves the steak and vegetables here, and I LOVE the meatloaf. We also love the drinks, they have a very wide variety and can make just about anything. On our most recent visit Patrick was the bartender, and he went above and beyond for us. The espresso machine was broken, but he made my husband an espresso martini using the French press and was able to make me sangria even though strawberries are out of season and they were missing one ingredient. He was great, and didn’t say no, just politely offered suggestions to make up for what was unavailable, which isn’t usual in restaurants and we greatly appreciated. Bar is open seating and they do take reservations, if that’s something you’re into. It’s a low-key place in a strip mall, but still fancy and nice to dress up for on occasion. Honestly I love this place.

Exploring Aurora on my own after business meetings, I wanted to find a place where I’d feel welcomed and could enjoy good good paired with good wine. This hit all marks. From entering into the impressive wine collection to being greeted at my seat at the bar and throughout my dining experience. Manager Nathan introduced me to the amazing bartender, Kelly. He quickly served me with a recommended bubbly to start my weekend. Kelly jumped in with food recommendations and conversation throughout the evening. The owner, Eldon, let me try several recommendations for wine to go with my entree. Chef AP came out and checked on food and chatted about his vision and creativity. The personal touches and care I saw all staff taking for diners was impressive. While I did not try dessert, I did indulge from their delectable cheese offerings. I highly recommend going here for any occasion.

I wanted to like this place a lot but was ultimately quite disappointed. Visited the evening of 4/5/23. Only one other table and 2 people at the bar. The server was nice but not very attentive. The busssr spilled my salad dressing cup on me at the end, kind of apologized, and said she would bring back a wet napkin but never returned. Everyone was friendly and the vibe was nice, but the food was very underwhelming, especially for the price. Appetizers were quick and then 45 minutes later came the charcuterie and chicken cordon bleu, 5 minutes after that the cheeseburger. Unsatisfactory, considering how empty the place was.
