Not gonna lie... Amazing experience. Our waitress was professional, knowledgable, and beautiful. The prices for the wine were very reasonable (to me because I only need the 2oz, lol!) and a great way to get experience with wine. I *loved* the meat and cheese platter! It was such a relaxing, clean, and classy experience. I can't wait to go again! St. Hilaire wine is now my favorite and I can't find it anywhere!

Good wines and great cheese. Wife and I each ordered a 3 wine flight and shared a 3 cheese platter. I ordered a 2 wine flight to follow. The cheese platter was adequate to fill us both. Good service and reasonably priced

The wine selection was fantastic, but the food was not fresh at all. With a menu that huge, I would imagine that it is difficult to keep fresh sources of cheeses and meets. The food was definitely old, still, and some tasted freezer burned. Will not be back. Not to mention, the food wasn't cheap.

Outstanding service, food and wine selection. This is a great date night destination. It feels like you are in a little wine bar in Italy! Loved their food selection and extensive wine list. They offer an assortment of cheese trays with different meats and fruit. Plus they have gourmet sandwiches and many other amazing dishes to choose from. You will have to try a wine flight. The waiter was very helpful in helping us choose wines that we have never tried. You can choose from any of their wines and even mix and match whites and reds. I love port, so needless to say I had to have a 20 year tawny. Amazing!! I am hooked, I loved the over all experience! This quaint wine bar is located in the Orchard Mall. You absolutely need to give this a try.

My second time here, was recommended and have NEVER been let down. Perfect place for a lunch or happy hour. Inside or outside you'll get the same savory yummy plates and wines! The signature platters are a must, and ask for recommendations! There's so much to try and so many great wine, cheese and meat combinations.

Atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Service was good. We were not impressed with the wines for the most part. They were OK, but nothing we would go and purchase a bottle of for home. The food was good. We got a salad, salmon appetizer and shared one of the platters. There was a lot going on on these plates. We thought they gave too many accouterments, like crasins which were out of balance with the amount of cheese provided. Everything tasted good, but we still felt disappointed with the over all experience, especially considering the prices. We do not plan on returning. YMMV.

So many great things to say about this place! We stopped in at Orchard Town Center for lunch and afterward decided to seek out a decent Happy Hour. What a gem we've found! Build your own flights: not cheap but turns out, not a bad deal! We selected 5 BIG red wines to include in our flight, one of which was free because we checked in on YELP. The check-in says that they'll comp the least expensive wine, but our waiter offered to comp our MOST expensive one! Nice! Then, as we were enjoying our tasters, he brought over an additional wine to taste that he thought would go well with our other selections - GRATIS! Cha-ching. Tally - we're up to 2 free tasters. Toward the end of our tasting, and because we had ordered big, tannen-heavy wines, our paletes were falling apart so we asked for some bread and some olive oil. Our waiter then brought out some bread, crackers and 3 "dips": olive oil, apricot spread and balsamic glaze. We figured we'd be paying for this (which was fine) but that turned out to be free as well. I'm not sure if that's standard procedure but it certainly wasn't something that was offered out-right as normal "munchies." We were so pleased and were able to enjoy the rest of our wine flight with some great nosh. At the end of our flight tasting, as we were paying, our waiter brought over another complimentary sample for each of us, this time a dessert wine...tawny port. Tasty! Needless to say, he was great. So gracious and so attentive. And he got a nice big tip :) Other than being a bit pricey, the ONLY other complaint I have about Wine & Cheese is how our experience started out. As I have mentioned our waiter did an amazing job. BUT when we were first sat, it took him about 15 minutes to come greet us. We had 3 other waiters stop by our table to tell us that our waiter was "with the manager" and would be with us shortly. This was not a big deal; we were given water and were even asked if we were ready to order, which we hadn't been. We felt well attended-to. When our waiter did finally come to the table to introduce himself, he reeked of cigarettes. Whether he was "with the manager" or not is of no consequence. They deserve breaks too. But I will say that ANY time you're enjoying a meal, it's always a bummer to be inundated with the smell of cigarettes, especially when drinking and eating wine and cheese which employ a great deal of smell. I will say that we will most certainly return and were it not for the unfortunate way it started, Wine & Cheese would have gotten a solid 5 stars from me!

My family and I have come in a fair amount of times. Always pleasant, however this last time we were surprised by our servers lack of knowledge and the shortness in her costumer service approach. Including no offers of happy hr specials. Secondly- After contemplating the final bill we inquired why our wines that we ordered during happy hour time were not discounted. We were told that only specialty wines were included and we had to ask for the happy hr menu. Note the happy hr sign on the door does not indicate select wines. This is a pretty sneaky way to up price and squeeze out of written specials. I am disappointed by this practice and no offer to comp anything or discount for next time when were asked about this . We were having a bday happy hr for my mom and a number of servers knew this..We will not be coming back nor recommend this place..

Really enjoyed the wine and cheese platter we got here while visiting family! The wine was fantastically priced as well as the cheese platters and appetizers. Our waiter was very nice and suggested we get the fondue and it was fantastic as well! I highly recommend going and saving room for fondue at the end!

This place is such a neighborhood gem! A friend and I walked over for dinner after getting massages at Spavia nearby. We got the trio platter with two cheeses and some prosciutto. The whole platter was to die for. The cheeses and meat were served with perfectly baked slices of baguette, Nita crisp, slices of granny smith apple, candied nuts, perfectly marinated olives and the most delicious marmalade I've ever tasted. We also each enjoyed a glass of wine and the server - who was full of information about the whole menu - even brought us a few small glasses of wine to taste in addition to the ones we ordered. At the end of the meal, we ordered the chocolate fondue which didn't disappoint, although we were completely stuffed by the time we left. It was really delightful.

I have always enjoyed my time here, but no more than my last visit during a Sunday afternoon on an impromptu date with Hubby. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had made it in time for Happy Hour and so enjoyed sampling more items than we normally would have! Our server was very knowledgeable ( as they all are ), and was very accommodating when we changed our seating from the patio to an indoor table due to a chill. The ambiance is awesome - I felt transported to a small villa setting with all the warm, vibrant colors inside. I could have spent many more hours sitting by the window to people watch while sipping on my glass of yummy wine, taking my time with my plate of figs, apples, salmon & cheese! Bravo, Bitto Bistro!!!

My wife and I love this place. The servers are very knowledgeable and helpful without being condescending. The prices are very good especially given the quality of the food and wine. The atmosphere is very relaxing so you never feel crammed or rushed. Last night our server was unable to answer our questions about one of the wines we were looking at but said that the owner, who has tasted them all and is a sommelier, would be happy to assist. It was unnecessary but we very much appreciated the offer and the owner's availability.

I like the service, the atmosphere, and the wine. I will just say that the happy hour pricing does not make you happy. 8 dollars per glass. Won't come back for the happy hour but would come back on a date.

If you are in the mood for good wine and great cheese this is the place for you. Not many other options on the menu but what they do have they do really well. Waiters are very friendly and knowledgeable. Wife and I love to stop in early afternoon for wine and a snack.

Good idea with poor execution. Went in on a snowy night and got terrible service from a gal who clearly knew nothing about the wine she served. Spotted her and her buddy sampling our wine behind the bar and could not answer the simple questions about the port on the list. I could have gotten beyond the short pours but considering the prices, we won't be coming back.

I went to Bitto Bistro for a girl's night out. The wine selection and cheese pairing is pretty impressive. The service is a bit strange as there aren't necessarily bartenders or servers... it seems to be an odd combination of food prep/serving staff. My group was often trying to find someone to order more drinks from. I'm not sure the service tonight was common but she was short with us and not at all friendly. My friend didn't know tasters weren't allowed and was told "we don't do tasters" with a great deal of rudeness. We're happy to pay for the 2 ounce drinks - just simply tell us that. We weren't trying to be cheap, we just didn't know your process. It was our first time there, so we had questions (more than a few) and she wasn't thrilled about helping us. We relied heavily on yelpers for wine selections (thank you Yelp!) A smile and some patience goes a long way - especially for new customers who are inquiring about new wines to try. A little bit of service would have given this place 4 stars. The only time our server was remotely kind is when she accidentally billed my credit card the full amount instead of splitting evenly amongst the party. She said it would not show up (it did, but hopefully will not post). If it does post... I'll be sure to update this review. I expected more for the price... everything from the wine to the appetizers/salads is a little pricey. It would have been worth it for a better experience. Perhaps we'll luck out with a different server next time.

This is one of my husband and I's new favorite date night spots. The location is so convenient and as far as I know, this is the only wine bar in the area. We have always had great service, the waiters/waitresses always have wonderful suggestions and a friendly attitude. Although I am by no means knowledgable about wine, much less wine and food pairings, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've ordered (with the exception of the Duck Pate but That was the first I had ever tried so I can't speak to the quality). My husband has never liked wine until trying a few here at the suggestion of our server.

This is a great place to get cheese from all over the world. They have great pairings with a huge list of wines. Even if your not sure what wine or cheese to get, every waiter will let you know what is good. I recommend this for couples or groups.

Went here on a date night with my husband last night. We ordered the trio platter with the walnut Brie, vintage cheddar and prosciutto. We ordered a champagne flight to accompany the platter and finished it off with the chocolate fondue. The fondue was nothing to write home about; however, the trio platter and champagne flight were superb!! It is a cute place to go with friends as well as a little romantic if you go with a significant other. We will definitely be coming back. Great wine bar! *Don't forget to check in on yelp to get a free pour!*

Unbelievable experience! Our waiter looked like David Cross from Arrested Development. I wish I had caught, his name, but he was awesome. Funny, good pacing, helpful without being overbearing. Love him to death!!! Stopped in after seeing Ender's Game with hubby. We split the trio platter and enjoyed a salty prosciutto, creamy Fromage D'Affinois that was better than Brie and a Gruyere which was out of this world! The trio runs about $30 but is loaded with goodies, and they'll bring you more bread, mustard, jam, etc. if you need. We each did a trio flight of wines: I chose reds, hubs chose whites, and while our waiter left us to our own choices, I think he would have gladly made recommendations if we asked. Our waiter even brought us complimentary tasters of a delicious dessert red for being first time visitors!!! The setting is large, but the tables felt cozy. We ate indoors as I was a little chilled this afternoon, but the patio was amazing. $60 for six tasters of wine plus two free pours and a HUGE cheese and meat platter feels like a bargain, to be honest. This is going into the official date night rotation for sure!!!!

I can not tell a lie; I love my wine, but, I'm terribly inadequate at pairing them with food. The answer to my problems is found at this restaurant. I enjoy that all the waiters are well versed in wine knowledge and can help you make an educated choice on wine choice. They've even turned me on to a few new faves! While I realize that this place is called Wine and Cheese, their sandwiches and salads make me salivate with anticipate. D'apple is a particular fave! I love that I can get a lighter option if I'm feeling a little heavy or indulge in their 2 person fondue (not alone!) And incase you are like me, and after a few glasses of wine get really, let's call it," chatty," the staff will roll with it and not make you feel embarrassed. This is my go to spot for a well crafted meal and glass of wine. Cheers!

Unfortunate and disappointing experience. Let me first begin by saying I have been to the orchard location many times and recently there is a decline in service and friendliness. It would seem there are several employees who are more interested in catching up with and serving "regulars" and friends than being considerate and helpful to all guests who enter their establishment. I'm not certain if they are under new management or have just gotten lackadaisical, but I believe maintaining a fair and friendly atmosphere for every guest is paramount in customer service. Be prepared if you visit, while shopping at the mall, if your aren't a personal friend or a "regular" you may have to take a back seat. Forget that you will have to pay between $17 and $50 for a plate of cheese and crackers just to be treated like second class guests. Really unfortunate to see one of the nicer restaurants in the shopping center start to decline in this area of service. It was nice dining with you while it lasted.

I was blown away by the experience I had at Wine & Cheese, especially because when I saw the menu prices, I didn't think it was going to be possible to live up to my expectations. I will say, it is probably ideal to go with at least one other person, if not a group if you're planning on doing a cheese plate. What's great about their wines is that you can build your own flight from a massive selection of wines. Each is priced by the tasting pour, 1/2 glass, glass or bottle. They have a great selection of both old and new world wines and some I haven't seen anywhere else in Denver. So for a $13 cheese plate where you only select one type of cheese is where I thought this experience was going to go downhill. (BTW 2 is $23, 3 is $31, and 5 is $43). First the amount of cheese you get is crazy - so much that I had some to take home with the huge amount of leftover condiments and sides they give you. You get a baguette with green apple slices, dried cranberries, olives, figs, marmalade, mustard, pickled onions, flatbreads and I think a couple other things. There was no way possible for me to eat more than half of the plate. The service and knowledge of the staff is also exceptional. The only thing that I didn't like about this place is it's so far from my apartment. It takes 30-40 minutes to get there from my place without traffic; if it didn't you'd probably see me there 2-3 days per week!

The staff were great, from the greeters to the water guy to the waiter, all pleasant and helpful. The decor is fantastic. Love the bathrooms. The wine selection is, of course, very good. Et les fromages et charcuteries sont magnifique, aussi. I thought the prices were reasonable for what you get, and I look forward to future visits! I have nothing bad to say about this place.

I came here today for a late lunch with a friend. It was awesome! I had a 4 wine flight (you can have up to 6). One of my samples was free with the Yelp check in. The wines were all pretty yummy. I ordered a solo platter with one cheese and that was quite tasty! Anything with figs makes me happy. It was more than enough food for one person and reasonably priced. My friend had the spinach panini and a salad, she said it was good. Our waiter Andrew was very friendly and we will definitely be back! This is a great addition to the Thornton/Broomfield area.

Nice assortment of cheeses and wine. They also have a few more substantial meals if you're looking for something with a little more heft than cheese and wine. They also have a bevy of desserts to try too. Save room for the chocolate fondue. Their staff is very knowledgeable and the menu itself comes with pairing suggestions. However the wine list is enormous and may take a pro to navigate. It's a little spendy but you get what you pay for. Good quality cheese.

I've been here on many occasions with my wife, family and friends. For the most part, our experiences have been great. However, there was one instance not too long ago that really surprised me. I arrived for a dinner with my wife, her sister and her mother. We were promptly seated and thats where things went downhill. I could tell from the very first words that came out of my waiter's mouth that he was not in a good mood and that we were lucky he was waiting on us. Needless to say, the rest of the night was marred by what i would call deplorable service from this waiter. After having to wait 15+ minutes for new drinks each time, we finally ate and were ready to go. I happened to have a gift card and gave it to him so that he could take it off the bill. He came back after 10 minutes or so and presented me with my new bill which went from $120 to $70 after the gift card. Having spent an awful night dealing with this guy, I gave him what, at the time, sounded like a good time of $10 given the putrid service he provided. Now what I know about "the right" way to wait tables, this guy promptly came over and took our check BEFORE we even left. Within 2 minutes, faster than any other service he provided us the entire night, he asked me why his tip was so low. I calmly explained to him that his service was sub-par and that I'm not going to pay him for food that the gift card covered. He continued to argue right there in front of the room so I had to put him in his place. After some conversations with his manager, I think he got the point but even the way that the manager handled the situation was not appropriate nor did it seem that it would solve the problem. This place is great. I just hope that this was not a sign of things to come. I'll update my review the next I visit if it was indeed an exception to the rule.
A fantastic place! We're new in town and staying in Westminster....just happened to find this place in Thornton. Worth the drive from Westminster and from even further south. While located in a mall area, they have a great space indoors and on a nice night - great space outdoors too. This is a fantastic concept with lots of options. It could be overwhelming but our waitress was incredibly knowledgable and made some great recommendations on the cheeses, meats and of course - wines! The cheese/meat platter was great, as others mention - the olives, marmalade, crackers, nuts, and cranberries that accompanied the very generous cheese/ meat servings - were perfect! I highly recommend!

Very nice place to get some wine and enjoy company with friends. They have a wonderful selection of wine, so there is something for everyone. I personally love the flights so you can enjoy sampling a few that might become new favorites. Love, love, love their cheese platters. You can choose from a 1 selection tray, up to a 5 selection. They have cheese choices from soft cheeses to hard and the the meat selections of the day. After choosing you get a huge platter of fruits, nuts, crackers and other stuff that compliments your wine. Oh, and save room for dessert...the fondue is amazing with toasted marshmallows, biscotti and amazing lady fingers. Yum!

I wish this place was a little closer to my house - or maybe I don't wish that - because I'd be there all the time. Extensive selection of wines with excellent descriptions, great cheese selection, a few standard choices of charcuterie, and a menu full of gourmet salads, small plates, paninis, and soups. If you can't decide - order one of their platters that come with your choice of cheeses, meats, along with a marmalade, a spicy dijon, flat breads, apple slices, spiced nuts, apricots, figs, and cranberries. We chose a platter with the prima donna red cheese drizzled with balsamic glaze and the sopresatta cured meat. It was more than enough for two people since the amount of cheese on the platter is impressive. We couldn't pass up the spicy orange hummus either which was probably the second best hummus I've had. Our server was knowledgeable about all of the wines and helped us make a selection of cheese to go with the our meat choice. To top it off... she took our wine flight selections and food choices at the same time without writing it down and remembered who got what. Not something you see very often these days :o)

It is nice to have a wine bar up north. I like the selection and the service has always been wonderful. The snack plates would be my recommendation they are tasty. They also have great platters that come with choice of meats and cheeses, along with the yummy sides. My fav are the onions yum!!! The only down side is that it is on the pricy side of things. But for a once a month girls meet-up it is a great spot!

Wine & Cheese offers the perfect setting in which to indulge your inner ancient Roman. Select your wine, choose your cheeses, and prepare for 2+ hours of lazy nibbling and drinking. I highly recommend the Prima Donna Red (a Dutch cow's milk cheese with salt crystals and a balsamic glaze) and/or Belle Chevre (goat's milk cheese served with a hint of honey). Add a prosciutto or salami from their charcuterie options and prepare to be dazzled when your platter arrives with olives, mustard, marmalade, crackers, bread, toasted nuts, and all things glorious. My only regret is that Wine and Cheese is not in Denver proper. I could eat like this every night.

Went here a day ago and it was Fantastic!..My eldest daughter want's to make it our staple place to go when ever she visits me..We went about 1 pm on a week day and it was nice and quiet with a nice window view table and we spent some quality talking time..Just a mommy and me day..So here's the lowdown. $40 - up to five choices of cheese and the meets of the day..6um 6um, we had drunken goat cheese, truffle cheese, n some kind of cheddar, salami, salmon and ofcoures the fruits n goodies that come with it..we had leftovers..mmm..mmm...mmm.. $12? - mushroom truffle bruschetta..Sooo Good!!! $ I 4got - BLT salad, soo tasty, my daughter loved it Capponatta panini - this was very good, it came with soup, I had the clam chowder..It was ok with a lot of clams, but kinda watery not thick like I'm use too.

Looking at the all yummy pictures, how could I not want to try it out? We had great service (sorry can't remember our waitress' name) and the cheese plates were delicious! The wine flights were a fun way to try different wines with the cheese pairings. We tried the pick 5 and really enjoyed the cheese. My only grip would be charging for more bread and crackers... I would definitely come back again and again!

My FAVORITE! I want to live here and eat here everyday. What a treat. Husband and I love to play hookey and come in for a quiet lunch with wine flights and cheese platter. Even better in the summer when you can sit outside on a beautiful day. Attn Manager: You and your staff are doing an excellent job. Love the stories about the wines and the education on all the cheeses too! Cant wait to go back. Give it a try and if your unsure of what to order they will be happy to help or go for the wine flights and a small cheese platter and add as you go based on what you love.

This was a "catch up" date with a very good friend whom I haven't seen for a while. We definitely picked the wrong night for a quiet dinner out b/c there was a huge party that took over the entire dining area, making it impossible for us to hear ourselves talk and really throwing the wait staff off. Good thing we placed our order before the large party was seated b/c after our food arrived, our server was no where to be found again. We both ordered the beet salad and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. The dressing for me was far too sweet and was too heavy for the greens. We were brought a few slices of dry bread which was just not appetizing. I may try this place again for a glass of wine in the bar area, but I don't think I'll spend my dining dollars out here.

This place has the best lunchables ever! The cheeses here were amazing, and they had to have four pages of wines to choose from. The cheese plates also came with baguette slices, cranberries, apples and condiments. There were really good ingredients all around. We did the restaurant week deal and tacked on prosciutto and a cup of soup. The soup was really tasty, but way too small for $6. I really can't say anything bad about the food, as every single thing was delicious here. The service, however, was pretty crummy. There were only five tables in the place while I was there, two servers and a guy going around with water. It took forever to get anything. I know it's really great food, but there's no reason for the slow service. They weren't packed, and I don't know how it can take so long to slice up some cheese and drizzle honey and balsamic over it. I could even look into the prep area and just see our server having a conversation with his co-workers. I'm usually not a stickler for service, but this place was not even trying.

Yah, we had a good time; wine was great; service was very good. The Hub had a Willem Gerwurtztraminer - A+; I had a Verdicchio - a solid A. Food, needed some work - we had sandwiches - I had the eggplant combo - a Caponata; the hub had salmon and goat cheese. His looked burnt to me but he never whines; mine just didn't hit the mark for me but might for someone else. Ambience - very convivial. Lots of duos and larger groups. Single guitarist was easy to listen too - heard his day job was a librarian - lot of that going around. Place is good for the burbs; beats driving I-25 on a weekend night. Get there early; lots of seating but by the time we left, full.

My hubby & I really enjoyed a happy hour glass of wine and a WONDERFUL cheese platter here. We had actually checked it the menu a couple of times before but it seemed pricey so we always passed it by. There were wonderful cheeses to choose from, a really decent selection of great wines, and to top it all off our server was knowledgeable & informative on top of being great at her job. I would actually give them 5 stars if the sous chef hadn't made such a show of being extremely unhappy & generally mad at the world (on the upside it was pretty funny to watch his mini temper tantrums). We were sitting at the bar so it was hard to ignore! And the fire alarms were going off - just the flashing lights part - & it was distracting but sometimes things like that happen. We considered it free entertainment.

My girl friend took me here while our husbands watched football at the brewery. What a fun afternoon! The wine selection is wonderful, and just about every wine can be made into a flight of 3 for $11. We each had 2 flights of whites. We also ordered the chocolate fondue for 2 (who were they kidding, the entire restaurant could have shared this with us!!). To DIE FOR! Melty sweet chocolate with fresh fruit, toasted marshmallows, biscotti, and cookies ... we had a delightful afternoon together. Our server was fun and eager to please. I will go back to sample the smaller plates and more wine!

Love, love, love! This place is great! The service is always prompt and friendly and their servers are incredibly knowledgeable. The platters are to die for.

Maggie and Barney Treadway's inspiration for Wine & Cheese was their own riff off of the Parisian cafe experience. Lucky for Denver -- they hit their mark and then exceeded Paris in a spectacular way. Hey, I love Paris and rent apartments there for extended stays whenever I can, but I honestly have never come across an establishment like this in the City of Light. Maggie's extraordinary palette makes every single plate that comes out of her kitchen something to savor. She's your personal cheese guru so you don't have to be intimidated by unfamiliar offerings because she's taken all of the guess work out... every single cheese is delicious. Barney's passion for wine is inspiring, and he goes a step further as your personal sommelier, he hunts down wines that you may not have heard of but will have you heading next door to his wine shop to buy a bottle to enjoy at home. What a wonderful place to relax in on a day of shopping for a late lunch, or bring a date and share a cheese and charcute plate, or chill out while traffic is at it's height on I-25 with wine, artisan panini and a salad so fresh you know it's healthy. Next time I'm in Denver, I'm heading right from the airport (conveniently minutes away!) and I'm going to enjoy one of their 'wine flights' and the pate & cheese platter pictured here with my hubby. Lucky Denver... I envy you because I haven't found anything like Wine & Cheese in LA or Manhattan. Oh! And even if you don't have to go... check out the bathroom...I don't know why every restaurant doesn't copy W&C's restroom experience. I'm just saying'. See you there! Ivy

I've been here twice, to meet a friend for a nice glass of vino. I live in Denver, and I'm not a huge fan of suburbs in general, but this place is great! Just a bit of background on me: I love wine... I wouldn't say I'm an aficionado, but I do have a pretty good palate and I can be a little snobby in certain situations. That said, our server recommended the OZV Zinfandel, which I believe was one of the less expensive wines by the glass - and I must say, it was delicious! Good enough for me to want to track down a bottle for myself! We also got a bruschetta appetizer, which was pretty small, but delicious enough to be satisfying. I glanced at the food menu, and it seemed reasonable with delicious-sounding paninis and salads. The cheese plates look pricey, but I'm sure it would be worth it, knowing that they use great-quality cheeses. The second time I came here, my friend ordered water and I just ordered a half-glass of wine, so my check came out to be something like $3.50... even though we didn't spend much money, our server was still very kind in checking up on us and didn't make us feel like terrible people for taking up a table. It wasn't the busiest time of day, so that helped, but definitely appreciated! I've already recommended Wine & Cheese to a few people, and I'll definitely come back here if I'm looking for a place in the area to eat or drink!

The wine is delicious, the cheese is to die for and everyone who works here knows a LOT about wine...what more could you want, right? I've been here twice. Both times were during happy hour and though everything was SO wonderful, I didn't see the benefit of happy hour due to the fact that everything was still so expensive. I didn't feel like I was getting a deal. Regardless, I wasn't coming for the deal of happy hour, I was here for the cheese. And it has been fabulous! Highly recommend!!

I loved this place, hands down! The whole cheese / wine bar thing was a completely new experience for me, and one I look very much forward to repeating over and over again. Even my meat and potato husband was satisfied upon leaving. We started out with the Spanish quesadilla and bruschetta - Both unique and delicious. For dinner, we got a couple of different platters to share among 6 people. There was a couple of goat cheeses that I wasn't crazy over, but that is just my particular palate. The horseradish cheddar however, is now placed squarely in the "I'll fight you to the death for it" category. And for dessert, I had the champagne grapefruit sorbet. Wow. That was a perfect ending to a great meal. Now, besides the food, the atmosphere is really nice. It's kinda dark and intimate, but certainly not pretentious, not at all. Perfect for small parties or a fun date. The bathroom is really cool actually. You'll know what I mean when you go. And you will go right? Cause seriously. This place is fun. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable as well. The thing I enjoyed most though, was the way you eat the meal. It's a lingering affair, where before you know if 2 hours has flown by! It's a nice opportunity to sit and visit with your dining partners, and not be rushed.

Our waiter, Adam, was wonderful! Extremely helpful and has a great sense of humor! Loved the dining experience! The Spanish Bread soup is incredible, as is the Europa Panini. As for the wine....well, everyone is different, so i'll leave that for you to discover. We will be back!

A quick update to say dang this place is good! Some of the best cheeses I've ever had. We couldn't finish it all but we took it home. Beware the cheese portions are huge.

We love dining here regularly, and while we've never left a review before we are forced to now due to the above-and-beyond behavior from the staff. After our normal excellent experience recently (in minus 12 degree temps) we left a favorite hat of mine behind. We had walked about 100-120 feet from the restaurant and our server (dressed only in his cotton dress shirt) was in hot pursuit to return my possession. Anyone who has braved colder temps in just a cotton dress shirt knows how cold that feels and this reflects a great deal on both him and the restaurant. Thank you again!

I really want to like this place more than I do. I love everything about it in theory and concept, but feel that it lacking a bit in both food and wine menus to make it fully balanced. Have been to a couple of wine dinners here too, though the "dinner" part of it was a stretch. If you do them, keep in mind it is a 5 course wine snack, make sure you eat real food first, especially if you like protein. All of this said, we are fans, and go their frequently, I just feel there are a few tweaks that could make this place truly exceptional.

A nice little "Slow Food" place. The cheese selection was extensive and intriguing. We went with the three cheese platter and a Pate (duck) and it came with a delightful selection fruit, bread, olives and other nibbly bits. The by the bottle list is quite extensive and the by the glass selection looks like it would cover most anyone's tastes.

Elizabeth D.
We LOVE this place! The wine selection is fantastic; varied regions and tastes to choose from. I love the OZV Zinfandel and the Willm Gewurtz. Get a flight and try several! The cheese plates are to die for. Hubby and I can make a meal out of a cheese plate and some wine! We love the Walnut Gourmandise and the Prima Donna Red, but there are so many other wonderful options. The rest of the menu is wonderful as well - creative and balanced flavors to delight your palate. The live music is typically pretty good, and the atmosphere is always friendly. We love this place for a special night out, or just for happy hour. It's so nice to have a spot like this in the suburbs, right up the road from our house. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

The Service was flat out terrible. It actually took us over two hours to from start to finish for 2 glasses of wine and an appetizer. That's ridiculous. We would of complained, but there was a line waiting to complain to the manager. I left vowing never to come back, which is a shame because i live down the street. And Honestly, the wine selection is nice, but the place is overpriced.

Danny R.
We love this place. The atmosphere and the service is fantastic. I love the wine flights, and the staff really knows the very extensive wine list, which, in my opinion, is the best outside of Boulder. They also have amazing prices on bottles, including many, many favorites under $50. The meat and cheese platters are also what this place is known for and they never disappoint. I can try any combination and linger over my platter for hours, enjoying every bite while savoring my wine. Combine all of this with an atmosphere that is elegant yet fun and avoids pretentiousness and Wine and Cheese is our choice for a romantic night out or fun with friends.

I love this place! My boyfriend and I pass through this area every now and then and when we came across this place it was something that we were super excited to try out. We're both new to the whole wine 'scene', but we both LOVE cheese. Though we came at a weird time (we were the youngest people there) and there were only a few other tables filled it didn't take much to get into a comfortable place. The menu was overwhelming since we are still working on wines and the cheeses had such extensive descriptions it could make anyone's head spin, but the server was amazing! He could clearly see the lost look on our faces and picked out all of our wines (we both did $11 flights, so we had three reds and three whites) based on what we told him we liked and helped up pick out some cheese for the meat and cheese plate. I have to say that I have never thought of a cheese platter as filling. How many people think of anything but cubes of warm cheese and Ritz crackers when the words 'cheese platter' comes up? I'd assume quite a few and if you say no, you're lying :P. This however, is nothing like that. We left there full and a little happier from the wine. The platter came with two types of cheese, which were heavenly! A wonderful guda with a balsamic reduction drizzled over it, and an amazing bleu cheese with honey on top (which was such a perfect combination I want to do that with every cheese I eat from now on!). Then to accompany the cheese, thinly sliced sopressata which is the only thing we picked on our own, walnuts, cranberries, apple splices, apricot jelly, mustard (no, not the boring yellow kind), kalamata olives, dried apricots, slices of crusty baguette and crackers (no, not the Ritz kind). There were so many flavor combinations that we neglected our wines for a majority of the meal, though they were just as amazing--it was almost impossible to pick a favorite. They all went so well with the cheeses--as if they were made for each other! I would love to come back when it's a little busier and try out the whole menu (they also have a happy hour which must be lovely!) The server was so knowledgeable and seemed to be doing everything! They also have their own wine store, which is attached to the restaurant (though you have to go outside to go into the other, which they have to to by law) and you can get 10% off on the wine with the receipt from your meal (I wonder if it works the other way around too?) and we found that our server was taking care of the store as well! Needless to say, it has left a wonderful taste in my mouth and I can't wait to go back!

I am SO pumped I found this place! Well...I didn't find it, but I was invited by some friends to try this place out. I will definitely be back! I wouldnt exactly say that I am part of the "wine and cheese" crowd, but I have been know to polish off a bottle or two of a big bold red on occasion. This place offered wine flights to sample various vinos. Super cool. The meat and cheese trays can be ordered in various sizes to accomodate your party's size. We had some AWESOME cheeses! My fav was the Roquefort! Holy smokes. This was an awesome soft bleu cheese. Super tangy and sharp! Also tried all of the cured hams which were tasty as well. The portions were VERY generous. I was pretty surprised that our group couldnt even finish off our platters. They decor inside was really great too! Felt warm and stylish. While this won't likely be my weekly hang out, I will be back and love that places like this exist.

If I had to sum this review up in one word it would be FINALLY!!!!!! But since I can write to my heart's content, I think I will. I wanted to wait a while to come here because I think it is important for a new place like this to work out some bugs after just opening. Sometimes wait staff doesn't work out and it takes awhile to find the right people. Being a business owner myself I get that. I love Italian wines! I really can't stand the California wines that are so oak-y. Wine and Cheese has an awesome selection from all over the world and a lot from Italy! This is a cozy wonderful place that you want to linger in. The guitar player was adding the perfect accompaniment to the atmosphere. If you are looking for a fast food experience this is not for you. You come here to savor. We spent two hours here and it was a very relaxing evening.This is a great place to meet friends too. I completely agree with the other reviewers, this is not a place for kiddos. There were some at the table next to us and in my opinion, it was very inappropriate. It kind of took away from the romance of the experience and they really didn't want to be there anyway. We enjoyed every minute of it! We loved the fact that this is a sophisticated wine bar that mostly caters to the 30+ crowd. (Read; No drunk college kids throwing up in the parking lot.) People actually dressed up a little and I didn't see one baseball hat! Our server Monique was fantastic and really wanted us to be happy with our choices. I had a flight of Italian reds and my date also had a glass of red. We ordered the bruchetta and a goat milk brie plate for 1, a caprese salad which actually had "salad" with it and a dessert that was a pastry with ice cream in the middle. The food was wonderful, very artfully prepared and pared very well with our wine. Who ever said that it is over priced is not seeing the big picture. You are not only paying for a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting and fabulous food but their lease which I KNOW is in the 10's of thousands every month. You are paying for the chefs, waitstaff, cleaners, electricity, insurance and a hundred other business expenses, so get over it! I would say the prices are very fair. Since I moved here, (the North Denver burbs) I have been so homesick for Phoenix and all the fun places to go out that have good food and wine, catering to a slightly older crowd. (Be sure to go to Va Bene if you are ever there!) This place brings some of that here. Thank You Wine and Cheese! You have made my transition a little more bearable ;)

Every time I come into town I make sure to stop by this wonderful restaurant and wine bar! Last time I visited, my mom and I shared a delectable plate of artisan cheeses and each had a wine flight. With simple guidance ("I like dry whites") - the waitress was able to recommend a VERY good sampling of wines that complimented the food we ordered. Extra bonus? We got a coupon to purchase said wine from the wine shop next door. Also random but cool - the bathroom! Worth checking out if you dine in. :)

A modern wine bar/restaurant with a traditional "old world" feel. The wait staff was prompt and attentive. We made our own pairing choices so I can't comment on the staff or sommelier's knowledge. We ordered a three meat and/or cheese nosh platter with choices from their list of cheeses and meats. We decided to substitute a smoked salmon pate instead of one of the three meat/cheese choices. The platter came with bread slices, thin crackers, sliced apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, various olives, spicy mustard, dried figs and apricots. The platter was just the right size for the two of us. We both ordered a two-chardonnay flight (two full glasses of two different chards). We would have stayed and had a red flight (three partial glasses = one full glass) had we have time. The wine list looked quite eclectic. Overall, good experience and the only flaw in the afternoon was the many flies swarming around our table. The bill was a bit pricy for a lunch but with the quality of the wine, it was worth it. We will go there again and we will recommend it to our friends. We didn't check it out but we did notice they had a kids menu. We also noticed a poster announcing live music in the evenings (believe it was on the weekend).

Service - impeccable. Server - knowledgeable. Wine - wonderful. From start to finish a perfect experience. We had the luxury of utilizing the outdoor patio due to great weather, which helps the experience, no doubt. They try to source local food as much as possible, which is a nice added bonus. Price point was solid for the experience. This is NOT a place for the kiddos. Can't imagine why you would want to dine with them here, nor force the noise onto other patrons, but don't waste your time. This is a date night experience and should be kept that way, in my opinion (I have four kids, so speak from experience). If I can draw any cons from the night, it would be only that for the price, it means I can only manage it a few times a year. Just not in the budget to do regularly, but in no way felt I did not get my money's worth.

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!! The cheese and meat platters are simply scrumptious. The duck pate is to die for. The heavenly bruschetta is well, heavenly! The lemony hummus is so refreshing and delicious. An amazing wine selection, knowledgable staff, and all around great place for a date, girls night out, get together, business meeting, Christmas party, birthday party, etc. I find every excuse to come here as often as I can. Great lunches with a panini and salad too. Highly recommend trying the OZV and Hideaway Creek wines.

When I think of the best wine bars I've tried none of them are in a strip mall, however I've learned that quality food can be found in the American scurge (strip malls) so we ventured out for a little adventure. While the wine menu is moderately large everything else is average at best. I will admit that the portions are quite generous but nothing we tried was excellent. We tried the Trio Platter of: Manchego, Havarti and Prociutto. In our opinion the Manchego was below average, the Havarti quite good and the Prociutto wasn't even close to average. The Prociutto was essentially Canadian Bacon and clearly mislabeled because no self respecting pork lover would call it Prociutto. OK, so 1 for 3 on the food. But how were the drinks you ask.....marginally better. My wife seemed to enjoy her wine and she had the largest pour of port ever. The beer selection is limited and not very good, which I would normally let slide at a wine bar. However, as a "Beer Snob" I have an issue when a beer is classified and described as a Pale Ale, but tastes like a bad Lager. Needless to say it went back and I switched to wine, which was fine. I freely admit I'm difficult to please, but how does this place have 4.5 stars? A 3 star rating is generous in my opinion.....and I'm beginning to question why I gave it 3 stars. For an example of a quality wine and cheese bar visit Row 14 in downtown Denver.

The wine selection was nice; I'll give it that. However, the food left much to be desired. Most wine bars I've been to offer a wider selection of appetizer-sized dishes to compliment the wines. This place just offered a few dips and giant slabs of cheese. I'm in a bit of a cheese coma as a result.

My wife and I stop in 3-4 times a month for happy hour. Excellent selection of wines and flights and their cheese/meat plates are just the right portion for a light dinner. Nicely decorated and comfortable place to sip wine and have a conversation, the patio is relaxing in the summer. I'd really like for there to more small plate selections ala tapas. We'll continue to be back regularly. Thank you for coming to the North metro area!!!

Thank goodness! We needed this in the north burbs. A fun spot for girls night out! Service was great, our waitress did superb with suggestions. No real entrees on the menu, good cheese platters, a touch pricey, but what's wine without meat and cheese pairings. Great ambiance with warm finishes, great job in decor. My only suggestion to the proprietors is to go easy on the dried cranberries. It does a good job of filling the platters, but we don't need a pound of it. More bread and crackers would be lovely. Other than that a great job at training the staff. No hiccups in the service. Pretty good during your opening week. Cheers!

I took my husband, as a surprise, for his 47th birthday. We were both very pleased with our server and the environment. We ordered a 3 wine flight and duo cheese platter....which was almost enough for a meal for the 2 of us! Delicious and generous portions! Our server even brought my husband a complimentary glass of a pink, bubbly Moscato we had never heard of or tried before....it was his favorite of the night! We can't wait to go back!

Went for my birthday recently forth second time and yet again they didn't disappoint. The wine was great and getting a flight with friends gives a wonderful chance to find exactly what you like best. The service was perfect and afterwards we wound up chatting it up with Barney in the wine shop they have next door for some time. We all loved the cheese and meat platter and I hade to add the duck pate which was scrumptious! All of the cheeses were high quality and I love the way they round out their platters withnfruit, nuts and other lovely touches. All in all, well worth it and we will be back. it's great to have such a place in the burbs!

Went for the first time as a girls night out. Four of us, and one had to leave earlier than the others. They called a cab for us, but the cab was a fiasco and never did arrive. Barney, the owner-personally got in his car and DROVE our friend home safely. OVER AND ABOVE the call of duty, and we really appreciated it. We'll be back. (Cheese platter was excellent too!)

Our favorite place! The people (Barney, Danny, etc.) always make us feel so welcome. The food is outstanding! The wine selection is amazing. The entertainment is pleasent and perfect for the setting. They have done a great job of creating a familiar and friendly restaurant and I'm so glad it's in my neighborhood even though I would drive a long way for this place. Great, great place!!! Give it a try!

Such a fun place! My husband and I love nothing better than indulging in some wine and cheese and this is the perfect place to do it. You can explore so many different wines and new cheeses. The best is to rely on the expertise of the staff to guide you through the process - you'll always discover something exciting. The selection of both wine and cheese are vast and provide something for everyone. The service is outstanding and they are all very knowledgeable. If you're lucky, you can spend some time chatting with Barney and getting some of his great recommendations. Super atmosphere, great food and wine, terrific people. This place is one of our top 3!

This has to be one of my most favorite restaurants! it is a nice place to celebrate anniversaries, Valentine's Day or just to go hang out. My husband and I went up to Estes Park about 2 years ago and went to this place called "Cheese". We later found out about 8 months later that it was no longer open and we were very disappointed. Where were we going to go for a nice restaurant with a great selection of cheese & pates? Come to find out that this restaurant also owned "Cheese" up in Estes that shut down. My husband and I visited this location this past Valentine's Day weekend & loved it!! Everything was the same. It is a really nice modern day place and they have people come in and play music on certain days of the week. They are a little pricey, but they also have happy hour specials and packages for special occasions. We got a cheese platter with three different cheeses which is more than enough for 2 peple due to coming with fruits, crackers, etc. We also had the fondue dessert which was to die for! My husband and my anniversary is coming up in about a month and instead of going to the Melting Pot or some other restaurant like that, we are going to book a night out at Wine & Cheese!! I can't wait to try some more cheese and gets their dessert fondue. The funny thing is, my husband and I aren't big wine people. We might do like a "flight" of wine to try a few, but we go mainly for the atmosphere and the huge variety of cheeses. And it nice to have a place that you can go in your normal everyday clothes, or you can dress up if you want. Everything blends well at this place.

Great wine bar! Nice selection of wine, and a great selection of cheese. Despite being a nicer place, it is still kid friendly. My 3 year old thinks that the milk flight (plain, chocolate, strawberry) is the coolest thing ever.

Not gonna lie... Amazing experience. Our waitress was professional, knowledgable, and beautiful. The prices for the wine were very reasonable (to me because I only need the 2oz, lol!) and a great way to get experience with wine. I *loved* the meat and cheese platter! It was such a relaxing, clean, and classy experience. I can't wait to go again! St. Hilaire wine is now my favorite and I can't find it anywhere!

Good wines and great cheese. Wife and I each ordered a 3 wine flight and shared a 3 cheese platter. I ordered a 2 wine flight to follow. The cheese platter was adequate to fill us both. Good service and reasonably priced
(4)Lynda M.
The wine selection was fantastic, but the food was not fresh at all. With a menu that huge, I would imagine that it is difficult to keep fresh sources of cheeses and meets. The food was definitely old, still, and some tasted freezer burned. Will not be back. Not to mention, the food wasn't cheap.
(2)Jen E.
Outstanding service, food and wine selection. This is a great date night destination. It feels like you are in a little wine bar in Italy! Loved their food selection and extensive wine list. They offer an assortment of cheese trays with different meats and fruit. Plus they have gourmet sandwiches and many other amazing dishes to choose from. You will have to try a wine flight. The waiter was very helpful in helping us choose wines that we have never tried. You can choose from any of their wines and even mix and match whites and reds. I love port, so needless to say I had to have a 20 year tawny. Amazing!! I am hooked, I loved the over all experience! This quaint wine bar is located in the Orchard Mall. You absolutely need to give this a try.

My second time here, was recommended and have NEVER been let down. Perfect place for a lunch or happy hour. Inside or outside you'll get the same savory yummy plates and wines! The signature platters are a must, and ask for recommendations! There's so much to try and so many great wine, cheese and meat combinations.
(5)Matthew R.
Atmosphere was nice and comfortable. Service was good. We were not impressed with the wines for the most part. They were OK, but nothing we would go and purchase a bottle of for home. The food was good. We got a salad, salmon appetizer and shared one of the platters. There was a lot going on on these plates. We thought they gave too many accouterments, like crasins which were out of balance with the amount of cheese provided. Everything tasted good, but we still felt disappointed with the over all experience, especially considering the prices. We do not plan on returning. YMMV.
(3)Lindsey P.
So many great things to say about this place! We stopped in at Orchard Town Center for lunch and afterward decided to seek out a decent Happy Hour. What a gem we've found! Build your own flights: not cheap but turns out, not a bad deal! We selected 5 BIG red wines to include in our flight, one of which was free because we checked in on YELP. The check-in says that they'll comp the least expensive wine, but our waiter offered to comp our MOST expensive one! Nice! Then, as we were enjoying our tasters, he brought over an additional wine to taste that he thought would go well with our other selections - GRATIS! Cha-ching. Tally - we're up to 2 free tasters. Toward the end of our tasting, and because we had ordered big, tannen-heavy wines, our paletes were falling apart so we asked for some bread and some olive oil. Our waiter then brought out some bread, crackers and 3 "dips": olive oil, apricot spread and balsamic glaze. We figured we'd be paying for this (which was fine) but that turned out to be free as well. I'm not sure if that's standard procedure but it certainly wasn't something that was offered out-right as normal "munchies." We were so pleased and were able to enjoy the rest of our wine flight with some great nosh. At the end of our flight tasting, as we were paying, our waiter brought over another complimentary sample for each of us, this time a dessert wine...tawny port. Tasty! Needless to say, he was great. So gracious and so attentive. And he got a nice big tip :) Other than being a bit pricey, the ONLY other complaint I have about Wine & Cheese is how our experience started out. As I have mentioned our waiter did an amazing job. BUT when we were first sat, it took him about 15 minutes to come greet us. We had 3 other waiters stop by our table to tell us that our waiter was "with the manager" and would be with us shortly. This was not a big deal; we were given water and were even asked if we were ready to order, which we hadn't been. We felt well attended-to. When our waiter did finally come to the table to introduce himself, he reeked of cigarettes. Whether he was "with the manager" or not is of no consequence. They deserve breaks too. But I will say that ANY time you're enjoying a meal, it's always a bummer to be inundated with the smell of cigarettes, especially when drinking and eating wine and cheese which employ a great deal of smell. I will say that we will most certainly return and were it not for the unfortunate way it started, Wine & Cheese would have gotten a solid 5 stars from me!

My family and I have come in a fair amount of times. Always pleasant, however this last time we were surprised by our servers lack of knowledge and the shortness in her costumer service approach. Including no offers of happy hr specials. Secondly- After contemplating the final bill we inquired why our wines that we ordered during happy hour time were not discounted. We were told that only specialty wines were included and we had to ask for the happy hr menu. Note the happy hr sign on the door does not indicate select wines. This is a pretty sneaky way to up price and squeeze out of written specials. I am disappointed by this practice and no offer to comp anything or discount for next time when were asked about this . We were having a bday happy hr for my mom and a number of servers knew this..We will not be coming back nor recommend this place..

Really enjoyed the wine and cheese platter we got here while visiting family! The wine was fantastically priced as well as the cheese platters and appetizers. Our waiter was very nice and suggested we get the fondue and it was fantastic as well! I highly recommend going and saving room for fondue at the end!

This place is such a neighborhood gem! A friend and I walked over for dinner after getting massages at Spavia nearby. We got the trio platter with two cheeses and some prosciutto. The whole platter was to die for. The cheeses and meat were served with perfectly baked slices of baguette, Nita crisp, slices of granny smith apple, candied nuts, perfectly marinated olives and the most delicious marmalade I've ever tasted. We also each enjoyed a glass of wine and the server - who was full of information about the whole menu - even brought us a few small glasses of wine to taste in addition to the ones we ordered. At the end of the meal, we ordered the chocolate fondue which didn't disappoint, although we were completely stuffed by the time we left. It was really delightful.

I have no idea why I haven't reviewed this place yet. It is my favorite joint to go for girls night out. Excellent selection of wines and really good cheese platters. Great service and a very relaxing atmosphere.

I have always enjoyed my time here, but no more than my last visit during a Sunday afternoon on an impromptu date with Hubby. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we had made it in time for Happy Hour and so enjoyed sampling more items than we normally would have! Our server was very knowledgeable ( as they all are ), and was very accommodating when we changed our seating from the patio to an indoor table due to a chill. The ambiance is awesome - I felt transported to a small villa setting with all the warm, vibrant colors inside. I could have spent many more hours sitting by the window to people watch while sipping on my glass of yummy wine, taking my time with my plate of figs, apples, salmon & cheese! Bravo, Bitto Bistro!!!
(5)Joseph G.
My wife and I love this place. The servers are very knowledgeable and helpful without being condescending. The prices are very good especially given the quality of the food and wine. The atmosphere is very relaxing so you never feel crammed or rushed. Last night our server was unable to answer our questions about one of the wines we were looking at but said that the owner, who has tasted them all and is a sommelier, would be happy to assist. It was unnecessary but we very much appreciated the offer and the owner's availability.
(5)Val S.
I like the service, the atmosphere, and the wine. I will just say that the happy hour pricing does not make you happy. 8 dollars per glass. Won't come back for the happy hour but would come back on a date.
(4)W F.
Yum! Had great wine during their Wednesday "happy hour" (which goes till closing time on Wednesdays!) for a date night, live music added nice atmosphere, and our waiter was super sweet:)
(5)Brent W.
If you are in the mood for good wine and great cheese this is the place for you. Not many other options on the menu but what they do have they do really well. Waiters are very friendly and knowledgeable. Wife and I love to stop in early afternoon for wine and a snack.
(5)Cynthia B.
Good idea with poor execution. Went in on a snowy night and got terrible service from a gal who clearly knew nothing about the wine she served. Spotted her and her buddy sampling our wine behind the bar and could not answer the simple questions about the port on the list. I could have gotten beyond the short pours but considering the prices, we won't be coming back.

I went to Bitto Bistro for a girl's night out. The wine selection and cheese pairing is pretty impressive. The service is a bit strange as there aren't necessarily bartenders or servers... it seems to be an odd combination of food prep/serving staff. My group was often trying to find someone to order more drinks from. I'm not sure the service tonight was common but she was short with us and not at all friendly. My friend didn't know tasters weren't allowed and was told "we don't do tasters" with a great deal of rudeness. We're happy to pay for the 2 ounce drinks - just simply tell us that. We weren't trying to be cheap, we just didn't know your process. It was our first time there, so we had questions (more than a few) and she wasn't thrilled about helping us. We relied heavily on yelpers for wine selections (thank you Yelp!) A smile and some patience goes a long way - especially for new customers who are inquiring about new wines to try. A little bit of service would have given this place 4 stars. The only time our server was remotely kind is when she accidentally billed my credit card the full amount instead of splitting evenly amongst the party. She said it would not show up (it did, but hopefully will not post). If it does post... I'll be sure to update this review. I expected more for the price... everything from the wine to the appetizers/salads is a little pricey. It would have been worth it for a better experience. Perhaps we'll luck out with a different server next time.
(3)Melissa E.
This is one of my husband and I's new favorite date night spots. The location is so convenient and as far as I know, this is the only wine bar in the area. We have always had great service, the waiters/waitresses always have wonderful suggestions and a friendly attitude. Although I am by no means knowledgable about wine, much less wine and food pairings, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I've ordered (with the exception of the Duck Pate but That was the first I had ever tried so I can't speak to the quality). My husband has never liked wine until trying a few here at the suggestion of our server.
(5)Spencer C.
This is a great place to get cheese from all over the world. They have great pairings with a huge list of wines. Even if your not sure what wine or cheese to get, every waiter will let you know what is good. I recommend this for couples or groups.
(5)Jackie T.
Went here on a date night with my husband last night. We ordered the trio platter with the walnut Brie, vintage cheddar and prosciutto. We ordered a champagne flight to accompany the platter and finished it off with the chocolate fondue. The fondue was nothing to write home about; however, the trio platter and champagne flight were superb!! It is a cute place to go with friends as well as a little romantic if you go with a significant other. We will definitely be coming back. Great wine bar! *Don't forget to check in on yelp to get a free pour!*
(5)Leslie C.
Unbelievable experience! Our waiter looked like David Cross from Arrested Development. I wish I had caught, his name, but he was awesome. Funny, good pacing, helpful without being overbearing. Love him to death!!! Stopped in after seeing Ender's Game with hubby. We split the trio platter and enjoyed a salty prosciutto, creamy Fromage D'Affinois that was better than Brie and a Gruyere which was out of this world! The trio runs about $30 but is loaded with goodies, and they'll bring you more bread, mustard, jam, etc. if you need. We each did a trio flight of wines: I chose reds, hubs chose whites, and while our waiter left us to our own choices, I think he would have gladly made recommendations if we asked. Our waiter even brought us complimentary tasters of a delicious dessert red for being first time visitors!!! The setting is large, but the tables felt cozy. We ate indoors as I was a little chilled this afternoon, but the patio was amazing. $60 for six tasters of wine plus two free pours and a HUGE cheese and meat platter feels like a bargain, to be honest. This is going into the official date night rotation for sure!!!!
(5)Emily B.
I can not tell a lie; I love my wine, but, I'm terribly inadequate at pairing them with food. The answer to my problems is found at this restaurant. I enjoy that all the waiters are well versed in wine knowledge and can help you make an educated choice on wine choice. They've even turned me on to a few new faves! While I realize that this place is called Wine and Cheese, their sandwiches and salads make me salivate with anticipate. D'apple is a particular fave! I love that I can get a lighter option if I'm feeling a little heavy or indulge in their 2 person fondue (not alone!) And incase you are like me, and after a few glasses of wine get really, let's call it," chatty," the staff will roll with it and not make you feel embarrassed. This is my go to spot for a well crafted meal and glass of wine. Cheers!
(5)Jennifer G.
Unfortunate and disappointing experience. Let me first begin by saying I have been to the orchard location many times and recently there is a decline in service and friendliness. It would seem there are several employees who are more interested in catching up with and serving "regulars" and friends than being considerate and helpful to all guests who enter their establishment. I'm not certain if they are under new management or have just gotten lackadaisical, but I believe maintaining a fair and friendly atmosphere for every guest is paramount in customer service. Be prepared if you visit, while shopping at the mall, if your aren't a personal friend or a "regular" you may have to take a back seat. Forget that you will have to pay between $17 and $50 for a plate of cheese and crackers just to be treated like second class guests. Really unfortunate to see one of the nicer restaurants in the shopping center start to decline in this area of service. It was nice dining with you while it lasted.
(1)Joe D.
I was blown away by the experience I had at Wine & Cheese, especially because when I saw the menu prices, I didn't think it was going to be possible to live up to my expectations. I will say, it is probably ideal to go with at least one other person, if not a group if you're planning on doing a cheese plate. What's great about their wines is that you can build your own flight from a massive selection of wines. Each is priced by the tasting pour, 1/2 glass, glass or bottle. They have a great selection of both old and new world wines and some I haven't seen anywhere else in Denver. So for a $13 cheese plate where you only select one type of cheese is where I thought this experience was going to go downhill. (BTW 2 is $23, 3 is $31, and 5 is $43). First the amount of cheese you get is crazy - so much that I had some to take home with the huge amount of leftover condiments and sides they give you. You get a baguette with green apple slices, dried cranberries, olives, figs, marmalade, mustard, pickled onions, flatbreads and I think a couple other things. There was no way possible for me to eat more than half of the plate. The service and knowledge of the staff is also exceptional. The only thing that I didn't like about this place is it's so far from my apartment. It takes 30-40 minutes to get there from my place without traffic; if it didn't you'd probably see me there 2-3 days per week!
(5)Audra O.
The staff were great, from the greeters to the water guy to the waiter, all pleasant and helpful. The decor is fantastic. Love the bathrooms. The wine selection is, of course, very good. Et les fromages et charcuteries sont magnifique, aussi. I thought the prices were reasonable for what you get, and I look forward to future visits! I have nothing bad to say about this place.
(5)Nicole C.
I came here today for a late lunch with a friend. It was awesome! I had a 4 wine flight (you can have up to 6). One of my samples was free with the Yelp check in. The wines were all pretty yummy. I ordered a solo platter with one cheese and that was quite tasty! Anything with figs makes me happy. It was more than enough food for one person and reasonably priced. My friend had the spinach panini and a salad, she said it was good. Our waiter Andrew was very friendly and we will definitely be back! This is a great addition to the Thornton/Broomfield area.
(5)Veronica C.
They have changed their bruschetta and it's awful! I'm changing my review because the whole reason I went there was for the bruschetta. Everything else is just sub par.
(4)Lea B.
Nice assortment of cheeses and wine. They also have a few more substantial meals if you're looking for something with a little more heft than cheese and wine. They also have a bevy of desserts to try too. Save room for the chocolate fondue. Their staff is very knowledgeable and the menu itself comes with pairing suggestions. However the wine list is enormous and may take a pro to navigate. It's a little spendy but you get what you pay for. Good quality cheese.
(4)Jonathan W.
I've been here on many occasions with my wife, family and friends. For the most part, our experiences have been great. However, there was one instance not too long ago that really surprised me. I arrived for a dinner with my wife, her sister and her mother. We were promptly seated and thats where things went downhill. I could tell from the very first words that came out of my waiter's mouth that he was not in a good mood and that we were lucky he was waiting on us. Needless to say, the rest of the night was marred by what i would call deplorable service from this waiter. After having to wait 15+ minutes for new drinks each time, we finally ate and were ready to go. I happened to have a gift card and gave it to him so that he could take it off the bill. He came back after 10 minutes or so and presented me with my new bill which went from $120 to $70 after the gift card. Having spent an awful night dealing with this guy, I gave him what, at the time, sounded like a good time of $10 given the putrid service he provided. Now what I know about "the right" way to wait tables, this guy promptly came over and took our check BEFORE we even left. Within 2 minutes, faster than any other service he provided us the entire night, he asked me why his tip was so low. I calmly explained to him that his service was sub-par and that I'm not going to pay him for food that the gift card covered. He continued to argue right there in front of the room so I had to put him in his place. After some conversations with his manager, I think he got the point but even the way that the manager handled the situation was not appropriate nor did it seem that it would solve the problem. This place is great. I just hope that this was not a sign of things to come. I'll update my review the next I visit if it was indeed an exception to the rule.
(3)Courtney C.
I went there with my parents and fiancé and absolutely loved this restaurant! The server was knowledgable and had a good personality. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting good quality food!
(5)MN T.
A fantastic place! We're new in town and staying in Westminster....just happened to find this place in Thornton. Worth the drive from Westminster and from even further south. While located in a mall area, they have a great space indoors and on a nice night - great space outdoors too. This is a fantastic concept with lots of options. It could be overwhelming but our waitress was incredibly knowledgable and made some great recommendations on the cheeses, meats and of course - wines! The cheese/meat platter was great, as others mention - the olives, marmalade, crackers, nuts, and cranberries that accompanied the very generous cheese/ meat servings - were perfect! I highly recommend!
(5)Jenn D.
Very nice place to get some wine and enjoy company with friends. They have a wonderful selection of wine, so there is something for everyone. I personally love the flights so you can enjoy sampling a few that might become new favorites. Love, love, love their cheese platters. You can choose from a 1 selection tray, up to a 5 selection. They have cheese choices from soft cheeses to hard and the the meat selections of the day. After choosing you get a huge platter of fruits, nuts, crackers and other stuff that compliments your wine. Oh, and save room for dessert...the fondue is amazing with toasted marshmallows, biscotti and amazing lady fingers. Yum!
(4)Melissa H.
I wish this place was a little closer to my house - or maybe I don't wish that - because I'd be there all the time. Extensive selection of wines with excellent descriptions, great cheese selection, a few standard choices of charcuterie, and a menu full of gourmet salads, small plates, paninis, and soups. If you can't decide - order one of their platters that come with your choice of cheeses, meats, along with a marmalade, a spicy dijon, flat breads, apple slices, spiced nuts, apricots, figs, and cranberries. We chose a platter with the prima donna red cheese drizzled with balsamic glaze and the sopresatta cured meat. It was more than enough for two people since the amount of cheese on the platter is impressive. We couldn't pass up the spicy orange hummus either which was probably the second best hummus I've had. Our server was knowledgeable about all of the wines and helped us make a selection of cheese to go with the our meat choice. To top it off... she took our wine flight selections and food choices at the same time without writing it down and remembered who got what. Not something you see very often these days :o)
(5)Sadie P.
It is nice to have a wine bar up north. I like the selection and the service has always been wonderful. The snack plates would be my recommendation they are tasty. They also have great platters that come with choice of meats and cheeses, along with the yummy sides. My fav are the onions yum!!! The only down side is that it is on the pricy side of things. But for a once a month girls meet-up it is a great spot!
(4)Amanda S.
Tonight we came for a book club meeting and everything was perfect!!! The service was great the food was great wine was great!!! Will definitely be coming back
(5)Pat H.
Fantastic place, perfect for a date. Great wines, food, and service. We wandered in there on Valentine's Day, thinking we probably had no chance of getting seated without a reservation, but they went the extra mile and got us seated within 20 minutes. Highly recommended.
(5)Cher L.
This place is amazing! They have a great wine selection that is reasonably priced and the cheese plates are delicious! The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. On Wednesday nights they have live music a guy playing an acoustic guitar. It's a great place to unwind after a long day at work.
(5)Kate L.
Wine & Cheese offers the perfect setting in which to indulge your inner ancient Roman. Select your wine, choose your cheeses, and prepare for 2+ hours of lazy nibbling and drinking. I highly recommend the Prima Donna Red (a Dutch cow's milk cheese with salt crystals and a balsamic glaze) and/or Belle Chevre (goat's milk cheese served with a hint of honey). Add a prosciutto or salami from their charcuterie options and prepare to be dazzled when your platter arrives with olives, mustard, marmalade, crackers, bread, toasted nuts, and all things glorious. My only regret is that Wine and Cheese is not in Denver proper. I could eat like this every night.
(5)Lani P.
Went here a day ago and it was Fantastic!..My eldest daughter want's to make it our staple place to go when ever she visits me..We went about 1 pm on a week day and it was nice and quiet with a nice window view table and we spent some quality talking time..Just a mommy and me day..So here's the lowdown. $40 - up to five choices of cheese and the meets of the day..6um 6um, we had drunken goat cheese, truffle cheese, n some kind of cheddar, salami, salmon and ofcoures the fruits n goodies that come with it..we had leftovers..mmm..mmm...mmm.. $12? - mushroom truffle bruschetta..Sooo Good!!! $ I 4got - BLT salad, soo tasty, my daughter loved it Capponatta panini - this was very good, it came with soup, I had the clam chowder..It was ok with a lot of clams, but kinda watery not thick like I'm use too. We r actually thinking about going back today since we got some shooping to do in Orchard Town..My pre-teen is at that shopping age...oh boy! I posted a picture of the BLT salad and our cheese/meat platter..Yummy I'd like to try the Pate plate, but I know, no one else would eat it, but me.
(5)Joy V.
I love the atmosphere and food--not to mention the wine is delicious. I wish I could come here more often!
(5)Lainie L.
Looking at the all yummy pictures, how could I not want to try it out? We had great service (sorry can't remember our waitress' name) and the cheese plates were delicious! The wine flights were a fun way to try different wines with the cheese pairings. We tried the pick 5 and really enjoyed the cheese. My only grip would be charging for more bread and crackers... I would definitely come back again and again!
(4)Annette M.
My FAVORITE! I want to live here and eat here everyday. What a treat. Husband and I love to play hookey and come in for a quiet lunch with wine flights and cheese platter. Even better in the summer when you can sit outside on a beautiful day. Attn Manager: You and your staff are doing an excellent job. Love the stories about the wines and the education on all the cheeses too! Cant wait to go back. Give it a try and if your unsure of what to order they will be happy to help or go for the wine flights and a small cheese platter and add as you go based on what you love.
(5)Karen M.
This was a "catch up" date with a very good friend whom I haven't seen for a while. We definitely picked the wrong night for a quiet dinner out b/c there was a huge party that took over the entire dining area, making it impossible for us to hear ourselves talk and really throwing the wait staff off. Good thing we placed our order before the large party was seated b/c after our food arrived, our server was no where to be found again. We both ordered the beet salad and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. The dressing for me was far too sweet and was too heavy for the greens. We were brought a few slices of dry bread which was just not appetizing. I may try this place again for a glass of wine in the bar area, but I don't think I'll spend my dining dollars out here.
(2)Greg D.
Looking for a fun experince? Look no further! I've been here 3 times and I still would go back for more. Prices seem on point. Staff is friendly and restaurant is kept clean what more could you ask for..?
(4)Michael M.
This place has the best lunchables ever! The cheeses here were amazing, and they had to have four pages of wines to choose from. The cheese plates also came with baguette slices, cranberries, apples and condiments. There were really good ingredients all around. We did the restaurant week deal and tacked on prosciutto and a cup of soup. The soup was really tasty, but way too small for $6. I really can't say anything bad about the food, as every single thing was delicious here. The service, however, was pretty crummy. There were only five tables in the place while I was there, two servers and a guy going around with water. It took forever to get anything. I know it's really great food, but there's no reason for the slow service. They weren't packed, and I don't know how it can take so long to slice up some cheese and drizzle honey and balsamic over it. I could even look into the prep area and just see our server having a conversation with his co-workers. I'm usually not a stickler for service, but this place was not even trying.
(3)Kate K.
Yah, we had a good time; wine was great; service was very good. The Hub had a Willem Gerwurtztraminer - A+; I had a Verdicchio - a solid A. Food, needed some work - we had sandwiches - I had the eggplant combo - a Caponata; the hub had salmon and goat cheese. His looked burnt to me but he never whines; mine just didn't hit the mark for me but might for someone else. Ambience - very convivial. Lots of duos and larger groups. Single guitarist was easy to listen too - heard his day job was a librarian - lot of that going around. Place is good for the burbs; beats driving I-25 on a weekend night. Get there early; lots of seating but by the time we left, full.
(4)Jenn H.
My hubby & I really enjoyed a happy hour glass of wine and a WONDERFUL cheese platter here. We had actually checked it the menu a couple of times before but it seemed pricey so we always passed it by. There were wonderful cheeses to choose from, a really decent selection of great wines, and to top it all off our server was knowledgeable & informative on top of being great at her job. I would actually give them 5 stars if the sous chef hadn't made such a show of being extremely unhappy & generally mad at the world (on the upside it was pretty funny to watch his mini temper tantrums). We were sitting at the bar so it was hard to ignore! And the fire alarms were going off - just the flashing lights part - & it was distracting but sometimes things like that happen. We considered it free entertainment.
(4)Cyndi J.
My girl friend took me here while our husbands watched football at the brewery. What a fun afternoon! The wine selection is wonderful, and just about every wine can be made into a flight of 3 for $11. We each had 2 flights of whites. We also ordered the chocolate fondue for 2 (who were they kidding, the entire restaurant could have shared this with us!!). To DIE FOR! Melty sweet chocolate with fresh fruit, toasted marshmallows, biscotti, and cookies ... we had a delightful afternoon together. Our server was fun and eager to please. I will go back to sample the smaller plates and more wine!
(5)Tammy C.
The waiter was very helpful. Help make suggestions but not pushy. The three cheese platter was amazing. Prices were reasonable for what we got. I've been recommending Wine and Cheese for a fun night out.
(5)Mewstertu M.
Awesome selection of wine and cheese for reasonable prices. Go late though because it is in a strip mall and is a large restaurant. Better as a chill setting late night. Get the triple cream soft cheese and Rioja selection. Mmm.
(4)Jess C.
Love, love, love! This place is great! The service is always prompt and friendly and their servers are incredibly knowledgeable. The platters are to die for. They come loaded with bread, crackers, fruit, nuts, olives, and meats and cheeses of your choosing. The wine list is incredibly well rounded, there is so much to choose from.
(5)Ivy E.
Maggie and Barney Treadway's inspiration for Wine & Cheese was their own riff off of the Parisian cafe experience. Lucky for Denver -- they hit their mark and then exceeded Paris in a spectacular way. Hey, I love Paris and rent apartments there for extended stays whenever I can, but I honestly have never come across an establishment like this in the City of Light. Maggie's extraordinary palette makes every single plate that comes out of her kitchen something to savor. She's your personal cheese guru so you don't have to be intimidated by unfamiliar offerings because she's taken all of the guess work out... every single cheese is delicious. Barney's passion for wine is inspiring, and he goes a step further as your personal sommelier, he hunts down wines that you may not have heard of but will have you heading next door to his wine shop to buy a bottle to enjoy at home. What a wonderful place to relax in on a day of shopping for a late lunch, or bring a date and share a cheese and charcute plate, or chill out while traffic is at it's height on I-25 with wine, artisan panini and a salad so fresh you know it's healthy. Next time I'm in Denver, I'm heading right from the airport (conveniently minutes away!) and I'm going to enjoy one of their 'wine flights' and the pate & cheese platter pictured here with my hubby. Lucky Denver... I envy you because I haven't found anything like Wine & Cheese in LA or Manhattan. Oh! And even if you don't have to go... check out the bathroom...I don't know why every restaurant doesn't copy W&C's restroom experience. I'm just saying'. See you there! Ivy
(5)Becky R.
I've been here twice, to meet a friend for a nice glass of vino. I live in Denver, and I'm not a huge fan of suburbs in general, but this place is great! Just a bit of background on me: I love wine... I wouldn't say I'm an aficionado, but I do have a pretty good palate and I can be a little snobby in certain situations. That said, our server recommended the OZV Zinfandel, which I believe was one of the less expensive wines by the glass - and I must say, it was delicious! Good enough for me to want to track down a bottle for myself! We also got a bruschetta appetizer, which was pretty small, but delicious enough to be satisfying. I glanced at the food menu, and it seemed reasonable with delicious-sounding paninis and salads. The cheese plates look pricey, but I'm sure it would be worth it, knowing that they use great-quality cheeses. The second time I came here, my friend ordered water and I just ordered a half-glass of wine, so my check came out to be something like $3.50... even though we didn't spend much money, our server was still very kind in checking up on us and didn't make us feel like terrible people for taking up a table. It wasn't the busiest time of day, so that helped, but definitely appreciated! I've already recommended Wine & Cheese to a few people, and I'll definitely come back here if I'm looking for a place in the area to eat or drink!
(4)Jamie G.
The wine is delicious, the cheese is to die for and everyone who works here knows a LOT about wine...what more could you want, right? I've been here twice. Both times were during happy hour and though everything was SO wonderful, I didn't see the benefit of happy hour due to the fact that everything was still so expensive. I didn't feel like I was getting a deal. Regardless, I wasn't coming for the deal of happy hour, I was here for the cheese. And it has been fabulous! Highly recommend!!
(4)Corrie K.
I loved this place, hands down! The whole cheese / wine bar thing was a completely new experience for me, and one I look very much forward to repeating over and over again. Even my meat and potato husband was satisfied upon leaving. We started out with the Spanish quesadilla and bruschetta - Both unique and delicious. For dinner, we got a couple of different platters to share among 6 people. There was a couple of goat cheeses that I wasn't crazy over, but that is just my particular palate. The horseradish cheddar however, is now placed squarely in the "I'll fight you to the death for it" category. And for dessert, I had the champagne grapefruit sorbet. Wow. That was a perfect ending to a great meal. Now, besides the food, the atmosphere is really nice. It's kinda dark and intimate, but certainly not pretentious, not at all. Perfect for small parties or a fun date. The bathroom is really cool actually. You'll know what I mean when you go. And you will go right? Cause seriously. This place is fun. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable as well. The thing I enjoyed most though, was the way you eat the meal. It's a lingering affair, where before you know if 2 hours has flown by! It's a nice opportunity to sit and visit with your dining partners, and not be rushed.
(4)Brian S.
Love this place. Great foodie place to go. Different, elegant, satisfying. Love the cheeses here!
(5)Tanya E.
delicious!
(4)Colleen M.
Our waiter, Adam, was wonderful! Extremely helpful and has a great sense of humor! Loved the dining experience! The Spanish Bread soup is incredible, as is the Europa Panini. As for the wine....well, everyone is different, so i'll leave that for you to discover. We will be back!
(5)Dave A.
A quick update to say dang this place is good! Some of the best cheeses I've ever had. We couldn't finish it all but we took it home. Beware the cheese portions are huge.
(4)Mark W.
This is one of my wife and I favorite places to chill, have some good food and some great wine.
(5)Arvedus S.
We love dining here regularly, and while we've never left a review before we are forced to now due to the above-and-beyond behavior from the staff. After our normal excellent experience recently (in minus 12 degree temps) we left a favorite hat of mine behind. We had walked about 100-120 feet from the restaurant and our server (dressed only in his cotton dress shirt) was in hot pursuit to return my possession. Anyone who has braved colder temps in just a cotton dress shirt knows how cold that feels and this reflects a great deal on both him and the restaurant. Thank you again!

I really want to like this place more than I do. I love everything about it in theory and concept, but feel that it lacking a bit in both food and wine menus to make it fully balanced. Have been to a couple of wine dinners here too, though the "dinner" part of it was a stretch. If you do them, keep in mind it is a 5 course wine snack, make sure you eat real food first, especially if you like protein. All of this said, we are fans, and go their frequently, I just feel there are a few tweaks that could make this place truly exceptional.

A nice little "Slow Food" place. The cheese selection was extensive and intriguing. We went with the three cheese platter and a Pate (duck) and it came with a delightful selection fruit, bread, olives and other nibbly bits. The by the bottle list is quite extensive and the by the glass selection looks like it would cover most anyone's tastes.

We LOVE this place! The wine selection is fantastic; varied regions and tastes to choose from. I love the OZV Zinfandel and the Willm Gewurtz. Get a flight and try several! The cheese plates are to die for. Hubby and I can make a meal out of a cheese plate and some wine! We love the Walnut Gourmandise and the Prima Donna Red, but there are so many other wonderful options. The rest of the menu is wonderful as well - creative and balanced flavors to delight your palate. The live music is typically pretty good, and the atmosphere is always friendly. We love this place for a special night out, or just for happy hour. It's so nice to have a spot like this in the suburbs, right up the road from our house. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

The Service was flat out terrible. It actually took us over two hours to from start to finish for 2 glasses of wine and an appetizer. That's ridiculous. We would of complained, but there was a line waiting to complain to the manager. I left vowing never to come back, which is a shame because i live down the street. And Honestly, the wine selection is nice, but the place is overpriced.

We love this place. The atmosphere and the service is fantastic. I love the wine flights, and the staff really knows the very extensive wine list, which, in my opinion, is the best outside of Boulder. They also have amazing prices on bottles, including many, many favorites under $50. The meat and cheese platters are also what this place is known for and they never disappoint. I can try any combination and linger over my platter for hours, enjoying every bite while savoring my wine. Combine all of this with an atmosphere that is elegant yet fun and avoids pretentiousness and Wine and Cheese is our choice for a romantic night out or fun with friends.

I love this place! My boyfriend and I pass through this area every now and then and when we came across this place it was something that we were super excited to try out. We're both new to the whole wine 'scene', but we both LOVE cheese. Though we came at a weird time (we were the youngest people there) and there were only a few other tables filled it didn't take much to get into a comfortable place. The menu was overwhelming since we are still working on wines and the cheeses had such extensive descriptions it could make anyone's head spin, but the server was amazing! He could clearly see the lost look on our faces and picked out all of our wines (we both did $11 flights, so we had three reds and three whites) based on what we told him we liked and helped up pick out some cheese for the meat and cheese plate. I have to say that I have never thought of a cheese platter as filling. How many people think of anything but cubes of warm cheese and Ritz crackers when the words 'cheese platter' comes up? I'd assume quite a few and if you say no, you're lying :P. This however, is nothing like that. We left there full and a little happier from the wine. The platter came with two types of cheese, which were heavenly! A wonderful guda with a balsamic reduction drizzled over it, and an amazing bleu cheese with honey on top (which was such a perfect combination I want to do that with every cheese I eat from now on!). Then to accompany the cheese, thinly sliced sopressata which is the only thing we picked on our own, walnuts, cranberries, apple splices, apricot jelly, mustard (no, not the boring yellow kind), kalamata olives, dried apricots, slices of crusty baguette and crackers (no, not the Ritz kind). There were so many flavor combinations that we neglected our wines for a majority of the meal, though they were just as amazing--it was almost impossible to pick a favorite. They all went so well with the cheeses--as if they were made for each other! I would love to come back when it's a little busier and try out the whole menu (they also have a happy hour which must be lovely!) The server was so knowledgeable and seemed to be doing everything! They also have their own wine store, which is attached to the restaurant (though you have to go outside to go into the other, which they have to to by law) and you can get 10% off on the wine with the receipt from your meal (I wonder if it works the other way around too?) and we found that our server was taking care of the store as well! Needless to say, it has left a wonderful taste in my mouth and I can't wait to go back!

I am SO pumped I found this place! Well...I didn't find it, but I was invited by some friends to try this place out. I will definitely be back! I wouldnt exactly say that I am part of the "wine and cheese" crowd, but I have been know to polish off a bottle or two of a big bold red on occasion. This place offered wine flights to sample various vinos. Super cool. The meat and cheese trays can be ordered in various sizes to accomodate your party's size. We had some AWESOME cheeses! My fav was the Roquefort! Holy smokes. This was an awesome soft bleu cheese. Super tangy and sharp! Also tried all of the cured hams which were tasty as well. The portions were VERY generous. I was pretty surprised that our group couldnt even finish off our platters. They decor inside was really great too! Felt warm and stylish. While this won't likely be my weekly hang out, I will be back and love that places like this exist.

If I had to sum this review up in one word it would be FINALLY!!!!!! But since I can write to my heart's content, I think I will. I wanted to wait a while to come here because I think it is important for a new place like this to work out some bugs after just opening. Sometimes wait staff doesn't work out and it takes awhile to find the right people. Being a business owner myself I get that. I love Italian wines! I really can't stand the California wines that are so oak-y. Wine and Cheese has an awesome selection from all over the world and a lot from Italy! This is a cozy wonderful place that you want to linger in. The guitar player was adding the perfect accompaniment to the atmosphere. If you are looking for a fast food experience this is not for you. You come here to savor. We spent two hours here and it was a very relaxing evening.This is a great place to meet friends too. I completely agree with the other reviewers, this is not a place for kiddos. There were some at the table next to us and in my opinion, it was very inappropriate. It kind of took away from the romance of the experience and they really didn't want to be there anyway. We enjoyed every minute of it! We loved the fact that this is a sophisticated wine bar that mostly caters to the 30+ crowd. (Read; No drunk college kids throwing up in the parking lot.) People actually dressed up a little and I didn't see one baseball hat! Our server Monique was fantastic and really wanted us to be happy with our choices. I had a flight of Italian reds and my date also had a glass of red. We ordered the bruchetta and a goat milk brie plate for 1, a caprese salad which actually had "salad" with it and a dessert that was a pastry with ice cream in the middle. The food was wonderful, very artfully prepared and pared very well with our wine. Who ever said that it is over priced is not seeing the big picture. You are not only paying for a wonderful experience in a beautiful setting and fabulous food but their lease which I KNOW is in the 10's of thousands every month. You are paying for the chefs, waitstaff, cleaners, electricity, insurance and a hundred other business expenses, so get over it! I would say the prices are very fair. Since I moved here, (the North Denver burbs) I have been so homesick for Phoenix and all the fun places to go out that have good food and wine, catering to a slightly older crowd. (Be sure to go to Va Bene if you are ever there!) This place brings some of that here. Thank You Wine and Cheese! You have made my transition a little more bearable ;)

I looooove this place! Our staff and me are all fans of Wine and Cheese. My favorite plate is the D'apple panini with the house salad. They are always super fast and nice serving, I can't way to be back again.

Every time I come into town I make sure to stop by this wonderful restaurant and wine bar! Last time I visited, my mom and I shared a delectable plate of artisan cheeses and each had a wine flight. With simple guidance ("I like dry whites") - the waitress was able to recommend a VERY good sampling of wines that complimented the food we ordered. Extra bonus? We got a coupon to purchase said wine from the wine shop next door. Also random but cool - the bathroom! Worth checking out if you dine in. :)

A modern wine bar/restaurant with a traditional "old world" feel. The wait staff was prompt and attentive. We made our own pairing choices so I can't comment on the staff or sommelier's knowledge. We ordered a three meat and/or cheese nosh platter with choices from their list of cheeses and meats. We decided to substitute a smoked salmon pate instead of one of the three meat/cheese choices. The platter came with bread slices, thin crackers, sliced apples, dried cranberries, walnuts, various olives, spicy mustard, dried figs and apricots. The platter was just the right size for the two of us. We both ordered a two-chardonnay flight (two full glasses of two different chards). We would have stayed and had a red flight (three partial glasses = one full glass) had we have time. The wine list looked quite eclectic. Overall, good experience and the only flaw in the afternoon was the many flies swarming around our table. The bill was a bit pricy for a lunch but with the quality of the wine, it was worth it. We will go there again and we will recommend it to our friends. We didn't check it out but we did notice they had a kids menu. We also noticed a poster announcing live music in the evenings (believe it was on the weekend).

Good place that meets a niche others done. the trio platter is big enough for a meal for two and this place is reasonably priced for buying wine at a restaurant. Staff is personable. We will be back. Bonus: they have Lion's Head Stout on draft for $5!

Here for "Happy Hour", an amazing 5 Cheese Melange Platter, Smoked Salmon & a Wine Flight. Bon Appite'
(5)Peter T.
Service - impeccable. Server - knowledgeable. Wine - wonderful. From start to finish a perfect experience. We had the luxury of utilizing the outdoor patio due to great weather, which helps the experience, no doubt. They try to source local food as much as possible, which is a nice added bonus. Price point was solid for the experience. This is NOT a place for the kiddos. Can't imagine why you would want to dine with them here, nor force the noise onto other patrons, but don't waste your time. This is a date night experience and should be kept that way, in my opinion (I have four kids, so speak from experience). If I can draw any cons from the night, it would be only that for the price, it means I can only manage it a few times a year. Just not in the budget to do regularly, but in no way felt I did not get my money's worth.
(5)Sheila W.
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!! The cheese and meat platters are simply scrumptious. The duck pate is to die for. The heavenly bruschetta is well, heavenly! The lemony hummus is so refreshing and delicious. An amazing wine selection, knowledgable staff, and all around great place for a date, girls night out, get together, business meeting, Christmas party, birthday party, etc. I find every excuse to come here as often as I can. Great lunches with a panini and salad too. Highly recommend trying the OZV and Hideaway Creek wines.

When I think of the best wine bars I've tried none of them are in a strip mall, however I've learned that quality food can be found in the American scurge (strip malls) so we ventured out for a little adventure. While the wine menu is moderately large everything else is average at best. I will admit that the portions are quite generous but nothing we tried was excellent. We tried the Trio Platter of: Manchego, Havarti and Prociutto. In our opinion the Manchego was below average, the Havarti quite good and the Prociutto wasn't even close to average. The Prociutto was essentially Canadian Bacon and clearly mislabeled because no self respecting pork lover would call it Prociutto. OK, so 1 for 3 on the food. But how were the drinks you ask.....marginally better. My wife seemed to enjoy her wine and she had the largest pour of port ever. The beer selection is limited and not very good, which I would normally let slide at a wine bar. However, as a "Beer Snob" I have an issue when a beer is classified and described as a Pale Ale, but tastes like a bad Lager. Needless to say it went back and I switched to wine, which was fine. I freely admit I'm difficult to please, but how does this place have 4.5 stars? A 3 star rating is generous in my opinion.....and I'm beginning to question why I gave it 3 stars. For an example of a quality wine and cheese bar visit Row 14 in downtown Denver.

Nice cozy place. Had great live music on the weekend we were there. A bit price for glass of wine or beer.
(3)K P.
The wine selection was nice; I'll give it that. However, the food left much to be desired. Most wine bars I've been to offer a wider selection of appetizer-sized dishes to compliment the wines. This place just offered a few dips and giant slabs of cheese. I'm in a bit of a cheese coma as a result.
(2)Mandy D.
Went there tonight with my girlfriends and we had the best time. The wine and cheese are amazing! We all thought it was reasonably priced for what you get. If you are looking for a fun, different night I would recommend it, especially GNO.
(5)Josh S.
Popped in for a drink and light dinner prior to a flight. What a delightful surprise! This place rocks, service is great too. Food and drink menu has outstanding descriptions and the flavors match quite well.
(5)Vanessa L.
Really nice selection of wine and cheese. Random location for this place. I hope Orchard can support it. Nice ambiance and music but our server was awful. Pretentious and rude. We aren't in Napa, we're in Westminster but thanks for the attitude Adam.
(3)Jay P.
My wife and I stop in 3-4 times a month for happy hour. Excellent selection of wines and flights and their cheese/meat plates are just the right portion for a light dinner. Nicely decorated and comfortable place to sip wine and have a conversation, the patio is relaxing in the summer. I'd really like for there to more small plate selections ala tapas. We'll continue to be back regularly. Thank you for coming to the North metro area!!!
(5)JT S.
Thank goodness! We needed this in the north burbs. A fun spot for girls night out! Service was great, our waitress did superb with suggestions. No real entrees on the menu, good cheese platters, a touch pricey, but what's wine without meat and cheese pairings. Great ambiance with warm finishes, great job in decor. My only suggestion to the proprietors is to go easy on the dried cranberries. It does a good job of filling the platters, but we don't need a pound of it. More bread and crackers would be lovely. Other than that a great job at training the staff. No hiccups in the service. Pretty good during your opening week. Cheers!
(5)Cathy S.
I took my husband, as a surprise, for his 47th birthday. We were both very pleased with our server and the environment. We ordered a 3 wine flight and duo cheese platter....which was almost enough for a meal for the 2 of us! Delicious and generous portions! Our server even brought my husband a complimentary glass of a pink, bubbly Moscato we had never heard of or tried before....it was his favorite of the night! We can't wait to go back!
(5)Chris T.
Nice place and wine and cheese is good. Understand that it doesn't serve dinner just cheese plates. Nice but know that going in.
(4)Craig S.
Went for my birthday recently forth second time and yet again they didn't disappoint. The wine was great and getting a flight with friends gives a wonderful chance to find exactly what you like best. The service was perfect and afterwards we wound up chatting it up with Barney in the wine shop they have next door for some time. We all loved the cheese and meat platter and I hade to add the duck pate which was scrumptious! All of the cheeses were high quality and I love the way they round out their platters withnfruit, nuts and other lovely touches. All in all, well worth it and we will be back. it's great to have such a place in the burbs!
(5)Adrienne A.
Went for the first time as a girls night out. Four of us, and one had to leave earlier than the others. They called a cab for us, but the cab was a fiasco and never did arrive. Barney, the owner-personally got in his car and DROVE our friend home safely. OVER AND ABOVE the call of duty, and we really appreciated it. We'll be back. (Cheese platter was excellent too!)
(4)Doug O.
Our favorite place! The people (Barney, Danny, etc.) always make us feel so welcome. The food is outstanding! The wine selection is amazing. The entertainment is pleasent and perfect for the setting. They have done a great job of creating a familiar and friendly restaurant and I'm so glad it's in my neighborhood even though I would drive a long way for this place. Great, great place!!! Give it a try!
(5)Sally L.
Such a fun place! My husband and I love nothing better than indulging in some wine and cheese and this is the perfect place to do it. You can explore so many different wines and new cheeses. The best is to rely on the expertise of the staff to guide you through the process - you'll always discover something exciting. The selection of both wine and cheese are vast and provide something for everyone. The service is outstanding and they are all very knowledgeable. If you're lucky, you can spend some time chatting with Barney and getting some of his great recommendations. Super atmosphere, great food and wine, terrific people. This place is one of our top 3!
(5)Michael T.
Excellent and knowleadgeable staff. Great selection of unique wine and cheese selections that rotate regularly making this a spot to return to time and again.

This has to be one of my most favorite restaurants! it is a nice place to celebrate anniversaries, Valentine's Day or just to go hang out. My husband and I went up to Estes Park about 2 years ago and went to this place called "Cheese". We later found out about 8 months later that it was no longer open and we were very disappointed. Where were we going to go for a nice restaurant with a great selection of cheese & pates? Come to find out that this restaurant also owned "Cheese" up in Estes that shut down. My husband and I visited this location this past Valentine's Day weekend & loved it!! Everything was the same. It is a really nice modern day place and they have people come in and play music on certain days of the week. They are a little pricey, but they also have happy hour specials and packages for special occasions. We got a cheese platter with three different cheeses which is more than enough for 2 peple due to coming with fruits, crackers, etc. We also had the fondue dessert which was to die for! My husband and my anniversary is coming up in about a month and instead of going to the Melting Pot or some other restaurant like that, we are going to book a night out at Wine & Cheese!! I can't wait to try some more cheese and gets their dessert fondue. The funny thing is, my husband and I aren't big wine people. We might do like a "flight" of wine to try a few, but we go mainly for the atmosphere and the huge variety of cheeses. And it nice to have a place that you can go in your normal everyday clothes, or you can dress up if you want. Everything blends well at this place.
(5)Jeff A.
Great wine bar! Nice selection of wine, and a great selection of cheese. Despite being a nicer place, it is still kid friendly. My 3 year old thinks that the milk flight (plain, chocolate, strawberry) is the coolest thing ever.
