The food and service were outstanding--as always. We will most definitely be back!
Excellent food, wine and service. Will be returning
Always enjoy flight night including this one. Wait staff less engaging in flight experience probably due to pandemic although noticed other wait staff did engage with diners.
Will return for another meal, hoping to see some changes in menu offerings with the changing season.
Our server was friendly, helpful and provided excellent service. The food was absolutely amazing, and the wine was a great value. We love the Wine House and will come back often.
We haven't been to the Wine House since before the pandemic and had forgotten what a treat it is! We happened to go on tapas night which was a very pleasant surprise. We were served four tapas with a wine flight specially paired to go with each appetizer. After that we selected entrees from the menu which rounded out a great meal. The service was attentive and the staff seemed genuinely glad to have us as customers. The Wine House has survived the pandemic and appears to be thriving! It's so nice to have a gem like this in downtown Fairfax.
Excellent food and wine. Very attentive service.
I love the Wine House. It’s such a cute boutique wine store and restaurant. The customer service and the food are both excellent! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
Good value for fixed lunch selection - service very good, very knowledgeable about large wine selection. Only issue was the kitchen was very slow for the main courses.
Great service, delicious food with excellent presentation and of course a wonderful wine selection. We will be back. Thank you!
Our server Riley was amazing as it was our first visit and not going to be our last. The food was over the top and we never felt rushed. She helped us with our choices and was very attentive. Can't wait to go again !!
Great service, great suggestions. Great wine. Great food.
This place is great! The charcuterie board and cheese plate were delicious and sophisticated. The smoked duck in particular was stunning. The baguette and spreads plate was perfectly baked and the spreads were delicious. The wine selection is very good. Parking is easy and free. Loved it.
Loved this place! I’m a harsh critic of food, so I’d say the food was VERY good but not the best I’ve ever had. That being said, because everything was so great, this is going to be worked into our dinner circuit for sure!
This is a Fairfax City gem. Always has impeccable service and the food and wine to match!
It's not just a wine bistro where you drink wine and eat lovely savory food.... we go there pretty much once a week to listen to the sommeliers talk about different wines and sample along side. It's the nicest possible way to get an education in wine.
Oustanding as always
Had a wonderful time with friends for dinner. I enjoyed the lentil soup for an appetizer & had the scallops entrée. Service was very, very good. My husband & I always enjoy coming here.
Another great dinner at our favorite local spot. We'll be back!
Theresa was amazing! She was very attentive and I appreciated her knowledge of the wines and what would suit our needs for the evening. The place was nice and intimate and the food was FANTASTIC! I will be coming again.
We had a delicious dinner! Started with Oysters Rockfeller/Mussels and Corn Chowder soup - soup was great. Duck Breast and Bone-In Bershire Pork chop were amazing, loved the brussel sprouts with bacon too. Dessert was Passionfruit Creme Brulee - fresh, flavorful and not too sweet. Paired all of this with an amazing Burgundy recommendation from our server. Ambience was very nice, food was delicious and very generous servings. We love coming here!
An outstanding Valentine's Day dinner. Enjoyed a leisurely 3-course meal with oysters Rockefeller, sea bass and vegetables, and chocolate terrine.
We went for Valentines weekend and loved it! The food was amazing, there was a huge selection of wine, and great service!
Wife’s smoked salmon app and crab cake with mushroom potatoes and asparagus was outstanding.
Small place that knows their customers. They have wine tasting and they know their wine. Waitress was by herself but she was moving fast until help finally came. She was so sweet and fast you wouldn’t even know she was the only wastrels. I would go back. The food was very tasty and flavorful. I was NOT disappointed.
A wonderful place. Hope to return!
I have lunch here fairly often as I like their wine selections but this was a dinner during Restaurant Week. Only a few tables occupied when we arrived but gradually filled, though all well spaced, which helped keep the noise down. Server was friendly and efficient, and most of their selections could be made GF. We’ll be back.
We celebrated a milestone birthday and had a lovely time! The service was too notch, very attentive. Cozy atmosphere and adhering to Covid protocols. Currently they offer a $22 3 course pre fixe menu which is a good value. Nice selection of wines by the glass. It’s also a wine store and We received a discount on a bottle we purchased to take home.
My friends and I went to this restaurant as part of restaurant week in the area. There is very limited seating as the establishment is small and intimate, which I like. They had a special restaurant week menu to choose from including an appetizer, entre, and dessert. Each dish was tasty and beautifully plated. The risotto is amazing! The wine selection was good. Although there were instances of delayed service by the waiter, overall the customer service was great. I will definitely be making a trip back.
This was our first visit but will definitely not be our last - Food was very good, great wine selection and excellent service. Ask for Theresa - she was awesome!
Great food in a welcoming atmosphere. Especially enjoyed the smoked salmon on toast and the crabcake entree.
Lovely lunch. Delicious food. Excellent waiter.
One of our favorites.
Good wine selection to go with the food.
The cheese chautercerie board was very light on the cheese! Definitely don’t order if you I tend to share it!
Other than that the food was good.
Amazing, local gem in Fairfax. Great ambiance and warm feeling - not to mention great food and wine!
We enjoyed celebrating a birthday with The Sunday Brunch and bottomless mimosas. The food was wonderful, especially the crab cake eggs Benedict... yum!! The staff was amazing! 🥰
Food was excellent. Been here before and I don’t remember food being this hood before. Service was great too.
Wonderful dinner with friends on the patio. Food was amazing... we had short ribs and beef burgundy and our friends had cod and risotto. They were all large servings and delicious, as were the desserts! Service was great. So glad the patio had heaters since it was a chilly night!
Great food and wine and excellent service! Try the Brussels sprouts, so tasty!!
Great date night!
