I’ve dined at winebar thrice now… yes, thrice… and it has been fabulous each time. Would agree that the service is at times amateurish, but it’s never not friendly…

Try the wild mushrooms, the shrimp, the ravioli and the short rib… all amazing. And if you’re lucky enough to be there when they have the pork belly risotto, fill your boots!

Hmm, this place looks interesting. I ended up checking out Salt in Vancouver a few weeks ago. It was awesome. This place sounds kind of similar. Will check it out.

Time flies. Long time ago, this was a Submission sandwich place. I remember supplying them with my furniture.

I did enjoy the Austro/Hungarian version, naturally. Anything sweet is good for me

We have to check out the latest incarnation of this place.

I checked this place out briefly (en route to another resto, actually) two days ago and was very impressed- because FINALLY somebody has figured out how to make this space work. The Danube and the coffeehouse before it (it was a cybercafe if memory serves) both suffered in they always and invariably looked empty (and intimidating) from the street- nothing peopled or “kinetic” was visible and that makes it a little unpalatable to descend the stairs to check it out. What you see now, from the street, is LIGHT and MOVEMENT below you; it’s beckoning and sucks you under. I couldn’t get over what a massive change this is.

Menu looks very tempting- thanks for the review!
