Wine Experience Cafe

"What a waste a of money & disappointment. My wife and I tried this place for Denver Restaurant Week since it was local. The evening before she showed me the menu and we were both hesitant because the online photos did not look appetizing. We went on a Saturaday evening on Denver restaurant week and it was nearly empty at 7pm. We were still hesitant but went in. The atmosphere was ok, nevermind there was still Xmas decor and it was March. We were sat next to a glass coat closet with coats thrown into it (not hung up) and a large visible extension cord probably for the vacuum. I only mention it because this is not the aesthetic of a restaurant charging the prices this place does. Neither of our appetizers were appetizing or appealing. Her pasta entree tasted like it was bought from the store and my "coq au vin" which was anything but seems like it was something bought from King Soopers and put together with dark meat chicken definitely not braised in wine in a thin, bland broth with store bought noodles. Even dessert seemed like it was probably packaged from Sysco and put on a plate. For the both of us at $55 each and we both did a wine flight for over $20 it was over $200 for one of the worst dine in experiences I've ever had. I was hesitant to even leave a tip as our sniffly clearly from a cold waitress didn't seem to really know what was on the menu or knew anything about the wine let alone pronounce the names. Our meal was brought out by one of the kitchen cooks who are all visible from the dining area and seemed more fit for a Village Inn. We'll never be back and I hope others avoid this money pit. In contrast we just paid for a party of 10 at Bone Fish Grill with an infinitely better experience for just $350 including the alcohol."

"we did the groupon deal for a wine tasting and it was super worth it. the wines were incredible and the bread and cheese plates were great. service was fantastic."

"I had made reservations for my 27th Anniversary with my wife to come here. We even came early and initially ordered a cheese plate with bread and two glasses of wine to start. We had to wait over 40 minutes to get some cheese with no bread and just my wife's order of wine. Our server Sara told us she had forgotten to write down our order and couldn't remember what wine I ordered. Sara explained that the bar's printer went out and that's the reason why she couldn't remember my wine order. I am puzzled why the bread didn't come out with our cheese plate. This place has gone downhill and I would not recommend it. I'm not sure, but my wife and I were the only minorities at the restaurant and am wondering if this had any factor to the horrible service."

"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!"

"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!"
