Sonoma Wine Bar at Katy

"Loved every bit of it. Charcuterie was perfect, beer selection was decent which I wasn’t expecting, they had enough wines for my picky wife to find a flight she enjoyed, and the service was some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. They were so kind and attentive. We’ve been a few times and will continue to return. Love this spot! It’s also fun to watch the kids run around and play, but keep your eyes out for a flying ball every now and then!"

"I like finding new places to visit for food and beverage and I like it even more when the new place is close to home. Here in Katy, TX we have a respectable number of bars and restaurants from which to choose, but we don’t have many wine bars. One of them happens to be Sonoma Wine Bar, the newest of three Sonoma locations in the greater Houston area. Upon entering Sonoma Wine Bar Katy, the first thing that got my attention was the size. It is larger than the outside would lead you to believe, with a seating section in front, a seating section in the back, and a bar with seating in the middle. There is room for about 40 people inside. There is also an outdoor patio, which holds another 20 or so guests. The seating is varied, with tables and chairs, bench seats, and individual upholstered chairs, so you can select the comfort and arrangement that suits you best. There are racks of wine on display, too. Large windows let the natural light brighten your experience and there is soft lighting for the evening hours. Music plays quietly in the background so that you can converse with the people around you with ease. Sonoma Wine Bar Katy serves a wide array of wines, both individual glass servings and full bottle servings. If you are unsure which to try, ask the wait staff and they will help you select. They serve several beers also, plus soft drinks. If you want to snack while you drink, I recommend one of the cheese boards. They have several fancy cheeses from which to choose, all served on a board that includes crackers, almonds, bread, and honey. If you’re a little hungrier than usual, they serve flatbread pizza, plus a few sandwiches and other foods. With the wines, Sonoma Wine Bar Katy serves flights, which is perfect when you want to sample several different wines. Depending on your taste preferences and/or if you want to pair with one of the food items, there is a wine to match. The service is helpful and friendly, too, and they will assist you in finding the best wine for your taste preference. If you find a wine you really enjoy and it’s offered in full bottles, you can purchase a bottle wine to go, at a cut rate. Katy is somewhat lacking when it comes to wine bars. Sonoma Wine Bar Katy is one of the few, and it’s an excellent place for wine, light bites, and good conversation. I recommend arriving before 6pm and taking advantage of happy hour deals. It’s a nice place to drink, dine, and chat, and it’s a wine bar to which I am certain to return."

"We had a great evening after attending an event. We walked in, as first-time guests, and walked out impressed. I started with an International Traveler wine flight. Two of the wines were from Italy and one from Argentina. All three were delicious with amazing bouquets. We also enjoyed fig and goat cheese crustini, which were also delicious and paired well with the wine. We were also impressed to see that other patrons were engaged in conversation while enjoying wine, all done with the absence of cell phones in hand or on the table!"

"Savack, our server, was amazing. Funny, personable, and quick to serve us. We came in at a great time and sat outside. Weather was nice, wine was great and the cheese board was incredible. Usually cheese boards are great with presentation but subpar in taste— however this was not the case at Sonoma. They had a great selection of cheeses that complimented the flight perfectly. My favorite wine was their newly added Grenache. Amazing! We will, of course, be back again. Regarding the complaints listed here: I’m not sure if they came at a busy time, but we had intimate and attentive service. I suggest coming during happy hour or on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday!"

"Not sure what people are talking about with the service. Maybe it gets really busy? We had a great time. Server even gave us a great rec for a new wine to try. We had one of their cheese selections and the cheesecake mousse, both of which were great and the cheese selection came with nice bread and a bit of honey. My only complaint would be the tasting flight setup. It’s $25 for three half glass pours. So that’s $25 for 1.5 glasses. Would definitely rather have 6 quarter glass pours and get to explore more wines to find one I like. No one wants to be forced to drink a half a glass of wine they don’t like. The patio area is nice and interior is stylish. Presentation on everything was top notch."
