I've been to Unwined twice; once with my husband and once with a girlfriend. My husband and I had a Groupon, so we started with the cheese plate and 2 wine flights. Our server helped us with wine selections for our wine flights and brought us our cheese plate. The plate was your average cheese plate. Nothing to write home about, but it had some tasty snacks on it. We also tried the pepperoni flatbread, which was delicious, and the poutine. The poutine has queso fresco instead of cheese curds (which is an OK sub), and not enough gravy. The gravy could also taste a bit richer. The second time we tried 2 of the bruschetta and the poutine - this time we ordered it with extra gravy. Better!!! For wine, My friend and I both tried "The Pundit" and really enjoyed it. We ordered a dessert that, as it turned out, was no longer available, so one of the owners came out to personally apologize and bring us a substitute dessert, free of charge. Nice! On both visits, we were warmly greeted and received attentive service from our servers. I love the bar area, which is actually more like 2 bars and offers plenty of space. In addition to an impressive wine list, they have 13 or so beers on tap, and 10 of them are microbrews. Fantastic!!! I've already purchased another Groupon, so we'll be back soon! Looking forward to trying the smoked salmon cakes!

Absolutely love this place. The food is phenomenal and the service wonderful. Bartenders great and they have live music too. Great location for Ahwatukee folks. Family friendly too.

Great food, great service and atmosphere. Our server was Alex and she was attentive and very helpful. Ordered Bacon Blue Cheese burger which was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Stopped in to check out the place and fell in love with it.... The service was fantastic, everybody was so nice, I love the decore and the lighting (most places are too bright), the food was great and reasonably priced...and to my surprise when I ordered dessert and coffee they brought out fresh delicious coffee in a coffee press ...last and certainly not least they had a fantastic band called Notes from Neptune with a sax and guitar, they did some John Legend, Sting, Prince, Alicia Keys... Wow.... I will definitely come back and bring friends!!!

The boy and I came here to check the place out, mostly because of a Groupon deal for 2 flights of beer or wine and a cheese plate and I don't think we will be back. First impressions were good, cute place loved the décor, the wall paper, and the decorate tin ceilings. We got there at 5 PM on a Friday and it was pretty empty but the place was packed by 6 PM. I appreciated the extended happy hour time (3-7 PM) but the value wasn't there. A few dollars off Apps and $2 off wine doesn't necessarily make me "happy". I was impressed with the beer selection but not by the patrons, holy Real Housewives of the Ahwatukee Foothills! Overall, there were some hiccups with our visit. I understand that Groupon uses stock photos but what I paid for and what we got was very lackluster. The photo showed 2 sets of 6 tasting glasses, turns out you get 3, 3 oz pours of either beer or wine. You can pick your tastings, which was a nice touch, but 3 vs 6 is a big difference. The Meat and Cheese plate was skimpy as well. The plate consisted of 3 meats and 3 cheeses with the cheese portion being fair, but the meat selection was 3 thin slices per meat. The cheese selection was nice, but all 3 were flavored cheeses and you didn't get to pick. There were 2 strawberries cut in 4ths, a handful of grapes, and 2 pieces of toast to round out the board. Groupon said this deal (2 flights, meat/cheese board) was worth $48 but it was barely worth $20. There were other missteps with the food, not sure if it was the kitchen or our server's fault. There was no printed beer list, just a chalkboard up on the wall. Novel idea but the boy had to get up to see the offerings, then had to get up again to look when the server came to take his order because he had forgotten already. I ordered a few HH items and the wedge salad and the boy went for the surf and turf. All of our food came out at once, the apps with the entrée which was a rookie move. Like I said, not sure if this was the server or the kitchen's choosing. I also had issue with my wine pour. After the flight I got 2 regular glasses of wine. One was brought to me in a carafe, ok I get it a measured pour but a few min later I saw another server taking a wine glass to another table that was poured at the bar and was at least 1-2 oz more than what I got. What gives? The food itself was just ok. Like a previous review, the salmon for the Bruschetta was dry and lacked flavor. The boy liked his surf and turf but I thought it lacked seasoning, the potatoes were bland and the scallops needed something more to make them pop. The filet was a nice cut, it was so tender I was able to cut it with my butter knife. Over all, the concept was nice but the execution was missing in several areas. When I think about our experience all I can say is, "It's Ahwatukee".

Nice cozy location with a good crowd. Have bee told that business has picked up in the past 2 weeks. Decor is inviting and warm. Drinks are poured on the the strong side, which is desirable. The menu looks varied and has some interesting items. Happy Hour is from 3-7 PM Dailey. They are billed as a wine bar but they have a full bar. Didn't have any of the menu items this visit. Service was a little slow on this visit. Not sure if they had an unexpected large crowd. It will take another visit to adequately evaluate this place.
(3)Carla E.
We're loving the entire experience! Music, good food and wine! The oven roasted chicken was moist and delicious and the salmon salad was yum!
(5)Andy M.
I'll preface by saying they are under new management for, currently, less than a month, and the bar area has a very nice atmosphere for hanging out or watching a game. Their beer selection, and whiskeys (to an extent), are also respectable. That said... Seemed like workers didn't really feel like being there, were strangely reluctant to be attentive. Went during happy hour, at the bar, with just one or two other couples there, but despite 2-3 people behind the bar, it was still very difficult for my wife and I to get their attention. On one occasion she had to say "excuse me" three times even though the bartender was right in front facing away from us. Got our orders wrong on two occasions (they were nice enough to change our order after we had placed a different order-but this was also due to them not giving both the full + happy hour menus from the start). Bartender also didn't know what Campari was when trying to describe a drink, "that doesn't sound familiar." I hope they survive, there aren't many other places to escape & relax in the area, this was just kind of a disappointment & depressing experience for a $50 happy hour.
(2)Jody H.
We have only been once but plan to go back for the live music. Our service was spot on. Red wine flight was fabulous. They had a good beer selection. Food was great. I liked the ambiance as well. I would like to go back again when the weather cools down to enjoy their patio.
(5)Shirley B.
This is a neat little spot. Server was super friendly and helpful! Food was upscale type bar food, it's definitely worth the stop.
(4)Tom S.
Made it here last Friday and wanted to make sure people know what a freak place it is! Live music was great but we only caught the last hour. This guy will be back on the 7/23, Planning on going back for the music and the MOm's meatloaf!
(5)Carol H.
My daughter and I just tried this place on a groupon. I do not drink wine but thought it would be a fun thing to do with her. I was so pleasantly surprised how nice and delicious the fruit and meat board was. The waiter was so nice and helpful and picked out the wines he thought I would like because my taste is on the sweeter side. He was right on. The presentation of the wine was a nice surprise. We also ordered two bruschetta's that were delicious. The owner came over a few times to see that we were enjoying everything. I am told Unwined is under new management and I would say they are doing a great job! Their food menu looked delicious and I can't wait to come back to try some of their specials. I would highly recommend this place.
(5)Sarah S.
My husband and I sauntered in on a Thursday night and, while the atmosphere is lovely and the service excellent, we ordered two smoked salmon dinner salads and they arrived with nothing less than canned salmon. This was a dinner salad, not a side salad. And the salmon was not smoked....it was canned. Needless to say, I was less than pleased and couldn't finish mine.
(1)Britni J.
Updating my review. The place is under new ownership and has really lost some credibility in my eyes. I really want to love it. Ahwatukee needs something like this so badly! The wine selection is smaller than I hoped for at a "wine bar" and the food could use some attention. The hummus was so salty is was nearly inedible. The bruschetta was decent but nothing special... Almost tasted like sliced bread from a bag. Not toasted. The flatbread was so soggy I could only eat two small slices and when I was asked why I didn't eat my dinner and explained to them I just didn't like it.. They took 10% off. Oh? So I didn't eat hardly any of the pizza but instead of removing it or offering me something else you only take 10% off? Lame. They have some things to learn in food quality and customer service. Not planning on returning.
(2)Bobbi J.
Great Food & drinks at a reasonable price! Cute, friendly place. Only complaint, a little loud but other than that, all was good!
(4)Amy M.
A great find! Very attentive staff. Delicious bruschetta combinations. The meat, cheese and fruit plate has a nice variety. The lunch and dinner menu has a nice variety. The happy hour menu is a great value. Wish it had a location in Chandler but worth the drive to the Phoenix area.
(5)Sarah H.
I was pleasantly surprised, and I'm very hopeful for this place! After seeing a handful of restaurants come and go in this location, I truly hope this one sticks around! My friends and I stopped by for happy hour, even though this place is still under it's "soft opening". We had beer and wine, and then ordered some bruschetta, a meat and cheese plate, hummus and an ahi tuna panini. All of the food was very tasty, and the drinks were equally delicious.
(5)Boom Y.
I am a fan of this place - quality people, quality food, if you're looking for low-cost try the happy hour otherwise it is not inexpensive but it is good
(4)Mimi M.
I went here on Wednesday completely unaware that it was ladies night which makes drinks and glasses of wine 1/2 off. It would be rather pricy though without the 1/2 off. For example: the cheapest wine flight is $21, but they do special promotions many nights. Tuesday is wine tasting and Thursday is 1/2 off bottles night. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and fun. They changed out my wine glass every time I ordered a different wine. I have no other word for the caprese than PERFECT; the balsamic reduction was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whenever I'm up in Phoenix, I am definitely coming back. I can't wait to try out their wine tasting.
(5)Carrie H.
I had the most wonderful evening at Unwined. Met the owner and her handsome sons...who are gracious and charming. The wine selection was super ... I had a wine flight and a cheese and meat tray. How tasty. I followed this with the Warm Kale salad..... delicious. I plan to be back for more local flavor and gracious hosting. How wonderful to have such a super Wine Bar in our neighborhood!
(5)Sarah K.
Loved this place. Came on a Monday so it was quiet and you can't beat all day happy hour. Salmon cakes were amazing and service was attentive and helpful. If it wasn't so far away I would come here all the time!
(5)Kristy T.
I really, really, really wanted to like this place and hope they can work the kinks out and stay in business. However, it's a long shot if they keep their current manager. I've been here twice, once with my hubby on date night; looking for a romantic place to enjoy a glass of wine and some much needed convo. Manager sauntered over, had a seat in our cosy corner and proceeded to complain to us about his employees and how much more work that put on him! Well, you're the manger yo! Next visit, I brought my family. We did not know ahead of time, but they were having a free wine tasting hosted by this same manager. He wrongly assumed that we were wine newbies and arrogantly shared his vision to bring wine education to our community through his hand selected wine list... Which of course, wasn't the same wine list he would choose for himself. When not serving wine behind his wine barrel tasting station, he sat playing on his phone. Yikes! I wish I could say the food made up for the poor experience, however the bruschetta (low cost, high profit item) we all shared, was flavorless. Hummus was the highlight. Overall look and feel of the place is clubby and warm. Unfortunately, cheap table chairs, while nice looking, are uncomfortable. Even though this place is needed and welcome in my neighborhood... They need to bump it up!
(1)Lisa P.
Was there last night. We got there late and was so thankful they welcomed us with open arms. The place is beautiful inside. The food was absolutely delicious and our waiter Tracy was excellent . Will be back for more good food and to hear some smooth Jazz. Only thing negative was the girl behind the bar heard her complaining. plus one person with us with had to send back a drink she made but Tracy fixed it because he made it himself he is also knowledgeable on the entire menu. First time and will go back . Thanks to Tracy so up beat service with a smile. I did not check if they have ground pepper or sea salt to me that taste so much better I use it at home to cook
(5)Kenda V.
First visit with a gal pal we ordered HH wine, olives (yum) and hummus plate which was very tasty and had sufficient veggie & pita to help us enjoy every last bite. Pleasant, reasonably priced experience. Nice Server! Second visit with Spouse. Tried the "Killer Martini" and discovered I am a gin-lover! Warm Kale salad was really super flavorful and the kale was clean (no grit) and very lightly dressed as it should be. Just right amount of cranberries & pine nuts to offset DrumRoll PLEASE....the Scallops (2) tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly I was very pleasantly surprised and happy! Spouse had the only "man-food" on the menu (he assures me he read it twice). Hamburger was good and he wouldn't mind coming back BUT he would love to see more man-food offerings please. Again with the Nice Servers and the background music was so soothing and pleasant.

I've been to Unwined several times now, so I feel like I have a pretty good sense of what it's about. If I could give it 2.5 stars, I would. It's between "meh" and "ok." On my first visit, shortly after this place opened, I just came in to take a look and check out the bar. And I'll admit it, I have pretty high standards when it comes to drinks, but the woman who was bartending that night was awful. She acted like I was inconveniencing her when I ordered a Manhattan and couldn't tell me a thing about the "tincutures" used in the house cocktails (more on that later). So I ordered something simpler. However, because I haven't seen her working at the bar since that visit, I won't waste any more time on her. The second time I visited, it was about 8:30 pm on a Tuesday night, and my friend and I were hungry. So we decided to give Unwined's food a try. The place was empty except for a couple drinking beer at the end of the bar, but I could see two employees by the register behind the bar, so we approached to ask if the kitchen was still open. No joke, it took almost five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. I know that the manager (I found out later who he was) saw us, but he said nothing until he was done at the register. Then he turned around and said, "Ok, what can we get you? Sorry for the wait, but I had to deal with *that*" (indicating the other employee). I found this man's aggrieved attitude pretty unprofessional, but the kitchen was open, and we were starved. So. Our meal was a surprisingly good experience--my friend's Big Tukee burger was perfectly prepared and delicious. I gambled and ordered the Smoked Salmon cakes (I am really, really particular about my seafood). They were also very good. On this visit, I also decided to take a look at the wine menu; after all, Unwined refers to itself as "Ahwatukee's premier wine bar." I was underwhelmed. But given the lack of good restaurants in the foothills area, it was a relief to know the food was good, even if the menu is very limited. So I knew I'd be back another time to try their other offerings. So flash forward to mid-December (four weeks ago). I accompanied some friends to Unwined for dinner. They'd never been before, so I recommended the burger and the salmon cakes, for sure. I decided to try the warm kale salad. Except for the salmon cakes, the meal was a bust. The burgers were way overcooked and dry (which made me embarrassed and disappointed for recommending them), and the kale salad made us laugh. It wasn't "warm" in the least, but the funny part was how enormous the pieces of kale were. I mean huge. As happens sadly often in restaurants, the salad appeared to be made by someone who doesn't even eat kale. My friends and I agreed that the vinaigrette was tasty, but I had to cut up all of the leaves up so I'd have a chance of getting one in my mouth. Honestly, I felt silly. We had fun catching up with one another, but none of our party is ready to go running back to Unwined to eat. Remember my comment about the bad bartender and the tinctures? Now I get to the part about Unwined that really, really bugs me. First of all, they have no business trying to sell craft cocktails, because as far as I can tell, this place does not employ a qualified bartender. I am crazy about top-notch cocktails (Hello, Citizen Public House!), but I'm equally happy with a simple glass of Woodford. Unwined needs to either stick to the basics or invest in a real bartender--not the manager making weird Old Fashioneds, and whatever you do, don't order the Sazerac. It is downright terrible. Now, I'm not exactly an oenophile, but I do know quite a bit about wine, the characteristics of varietals, etc. Let me just put it this way: the wine list here is unimaginative. For example, the whites by the glass--there are 14 of them BUT it's so pedestrian and formulaic. 3 cheap sparklers, 3 chardonnays, 3 sauvignon blancs, 2 pinot grigios. You get the picture. As another reviewer pointed out, the manager likes to put on a big show about "educating" his patrons about wine. Maybe he thinks we're kindergartners? *sigh* Even the reds were nothing to write home about. I can appreciate owners not wanting to lose money on uncorking an expensive bottle for what may only be one or two pours, but the selections here are either $5, $7 or $8, with one red at $9/glass. I love a great, inexpensive find as much as the next person, but every wine I've tried so far has been just ok, which is what I would expect, given these prices. There's nothing wrong with "ok," but this place is pretending to be something it's not. The owners need to go hang out and take notes at places like Postino, Cheuvront, Kazimierz, 5th and Wine, Vintage 95, Terroir Wine Pub (especially the latter, since it's very close in spirit to Unwined), and so on. Until then, I fear that Unwined's reach will continue to exceed its grasp.

Stopped in for some wine and appetizers based on the recommendation of a friend...Anna our waitress was awesome. Everyone seemed nice and were all knowledgeable. Another waiter stopped by our table to check on us, which was nice. Food was AWESOME...everyone raves about the salmon cakes and scallops and boy are they right. My husband ordered a Tukee burger and it was perfectly cooked and he loved it. Pretty extensive wine list which we enjoyed. After our first trip, my husband and I have made it a weekly thing...atmosphere is cozy and nice...great music with live music on Wed., Fri and Sat. They were talking about starting brunch which I can't wait to try...
(5)Robert C.
A friend and I stopped by for Happy Hour and some dinner last week. Very nice bar area, open, inviting and classy. The Happy Hour specials were very nice. We were able to get a great bottle of wine for $18. We ordered two different types of the bruschetta both were outstanding. We also enjoyed the Mahi panini, delicious. We were invited to attend wine classes later this month. The classes were reasonably prices and we are looking forward to attending. Overall we will surely be returning. Great little spot tucked away in the Foothills.
(4)Jaycee V.
Well, all I can really say is that this place has plenty of room for improvement. Went for happy hour and it was Ridiculously overpriced coupled with subpar food. Ordered the green chili hummus and it was SO salty I could not even eat it. Also, ordered the salmon cakes that were $10 (happy hour mind you) came out the size of a half dollar... What a joke. One perk was that our server was nice and friendly. I doubt I will ever go back.
(2)Better B.
Walked in on a Sat. night about 3 weeks ago and headed right to the bar. Sat there for a good 10-15 min. with both bartenders looking at me but not acknowledging me. Finally, one says "did you want to order something?" .... I said "that was the plan" and then he says "oh, why didn't the hostess give you a menu? I hate it when they do that".... Ok, I've walked into a lot of restaurants and headed right to the bar and Never has a hostess chased me down to give me a menu... It was a lame excuse to make up for the fact that I was being ignored. Ordered a glass of wine and the Meat & Cheese board, nothing special.
(2)Chris W.
I have been there 3 times and it keeps getting better. The 1st time there (Friday night) was week 1 and our waitress was brand new. We waited way too long for our food but I do have to say it was worth it. I had a Flat Bread Pizza and my wife had the Bruschetta. Both were excellently prepared and tasted great. They have my favorite beer, Odell IPA on tap so that's a big plus. The 2nd time (Friday night) we went our waiter was also new but he gave us far superior service. When we arrived around 6:00pm it was about half full but when we left around 8:00pm it was packed. We had the Mussels as an appetizer and they were good but the sauce they came in was GREAT. I could have put that on a shoe and it would have been good. For Dinner we had Mac and Cheese which so far was the best thing I have had there. My son had the Ahi Tuna Panini, again very well prepared and quite flavorful and his Fiance had the Scallops which were very good with excellent flavor. I had the Odell IPA again and my son said his Cocktail was a little light on the JD. The last time we went in was for Mothers Day Brunch. My wife received a free Mamosa which was nice. To start we ordered the Zeppoles, which are fried balls of deliciousness that cam with a berry sauce. There were 4 to an order and they were the size of small baseballs and the sauce was very tasty and just added to the flavor. I asked for a side of honey and while it was good the berries were better. I had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Brioche French Toast. The Salmon was excellent but it was a little cold. My wife's french toast was very good and she highly recommends it. All in all it is a great gathering place that I hope makes it given the location has been so many different restaurants.
(4)Steve N.
Short and not so sweet... Service, all talk no knowledge. Food, far under par. The decor was the only reason I gave 1 star.
(1)Gary C.
Been their twice. Great drinks and ambiance. Had dinner one night and it was really good. My wife gets hummus at restaurants all the time and she is demanding I go try theirs. She loves it.
(4)Beckie W.
I haven't tried the food because I couldn't stay long enough to avoid the child being spanked in public humiliation of the bar tender. He was yelling to what seemed to be the manager, to never come back behind the bar...NEVER! He exclaimed! This was after I immediately sat down to him reaching for the tap to pour a beer and finding only foam sputtering out. "Are you freaking kidding me? This too now?" Was his response in a quiet atmosphere where only the early bird specials working on their laptops sat. I buried my head in the menu and quickly ordered a drink. Go with the 2012 Morgan Chardonnay! It's deelish and takes the edge off of the train wreck you DONT want to rubber neck look that's behind the bar!

Let me start with RAVE reviews for the staff. We stopped by last night (Fri) at 7:30 and the place was packed. We were informed that this was a 'soft opening' but the buzz is clearly out there. They don't even have the sign up over the door yet. From the moment we stepped in, the front desk staff were informative, attentive and offered great suggestions for food. Our server (Nikki) was efficient and suggested 3 really good wines to go with our food. They were out of a few food items and the staff was very apologetic about it. We had no trouble making a couple selections from what they still had. I ordered the green apple and fennel salad and will make the drive back there just for that item alone. Cheers to the creator of that mix of sweet, tart and crunchy goodness! Then we tried the braised beef Panini. Beef was melt in your mouth but I'd suggest taking that out of the panini and giving it a place of honor on top of a pile of mashed potatoes with a veggie side. My companions ordered the Caprese Salad and rated it 'good' because after tasting my Apple Fennel salad, well, nothing was as good as that. This place is way out in the foothills and a bit beyond my normal HH range but I'll be back again in a few weeks to see how they are doing.
(4)Sophie M.
I love That we have a nice place to eat and have wine around the corner from my house. We were skeptical as the places that have been in this spot before Unwined have not been very good. We went for drinks and apps to check it out with our one year old. They even had high chairs. I was surprised. I ordered wine and my husband ordered beer.The server was nice and brought the drinks promptly. It was happy hour so the beers were 4 dollars and the wines were 5 dollars. We then ordered bruschetta and hummus with pita. The food was fairly good. And we ended up having to chug our drinks because my one year old finished eating bruschetta and then had a meltdown. We will definitely go again.
(4)Be H.
I thought the food tasted great. The staff was attentive and I am excited to have a good wine bar and have the large variety of Craft Beer. My Turkey Panini was delicious, Ahi and Chicken entrée was enjoyed by others at my table. Since we were there during the soft opening, I wanted to give feedback: -Maybe more varieties for bruschetta. We didn't get to try any, when we ordered ,we were told they ran out. -The Mac and Cheese had great flavor but hardly any noodles. 2 people at my table ordered it and were disappointed given the price. We only intend to give feedback, not complain, because we know Unwined will be great, and the neighborhood needed a nice wine bar. We plan to visit often.
(4)Elizabeth W.
The new owners, Karen and Jeff, are doing it right! We all want someone to do well at this location and I think we finally have a winner. They just took over so if you haven't been at Unwined in a while, come back and say hi to the new owners. They are awesome and you won't be disappointed.
(5)Sean B.
Friendly staff and good happy hour prices. Love the setting. Family style bar and a bleached brick wall along with the "vintage" Tim roof make this a pretty cool place to hang out for the evening. Live music on the weekends. Very popular at night. I hope this place makes it. With the Perfect Pear across the street, this part of town is getting some class.
(4)Justine C.
I bought the 4-person Groupon because a friend lives in the area and I wanted to meet her on her turf. I was a little skeptical given the lukewarm reviews but this is such a great restaurant tucked away in a typical Phoenix strip mall. We went on Saturday and there was live music and the big tables near the bar area, which were recommended by our server, were perfect for our wine and beer flights. So many reviews said the service was terrible but the owner (or manager) was very kind and attentive, as was our wonderful server, Alexandra. I really enjoyed the varied wine list; if you're going with the Groupon, definitely get the wine flight because you get a good amount of wine for your buck. The food was really good: along with the wine/beer flights and charcuterie that came with the Groupon, our table ordered the Cuban, bruschetta sampler, carrot cake, and a burger, which were all really good. (Personal note: the Cuban was one of the best I've ever had.) I can't say enough good things and only wished I lived closer to the 'Tukee to enjoy this spot more often.
(5)Laura C.
Amazing On Tuesdays, great wine tasting. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. Everything that I had (bruschetta and crab cakes) were above average.
(4)Rose F.
Went here on Labor Day weekend, Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded. We got a nice spot in the back on some nice couches. The waiter was very friendly and informative. We tried some wine and dessert. It's a little pricey, but we will be back. Overall a really good experience.
(4)Greg F.
Ok, I hate to call shenanigans on my fellow Yelpians but shame on you for giving the reviews for Unwined that you did. Or at least most of you. Are you all friends of the owners? We just tried it.... Based upon the reviews. Our server basically knew that there was white or red wine, both kinds. ...that's about it. We ordered hummus and they brought us something more like what I expect out of a baby food jar. Not like any hummus that I have ever had. We called it at that point.... No reason to continue that experience. Headed over to the Pear for a good meal and experience. The Tuke needed a good wine bar.... And it still does. Don't waste your time here. A new place will be here soon. Take care
(2)Laurie N.
We stopped for a quick bite and the food was amazing, much better than we expected. My husband ordered the scallop risotto and he was thrilled, said it was the best risotto he has ever had. Happy hours prices were good and service was great. I hope this place stays around a long time.
(5)Patricia L.
Mark and I have wanted to live close to a wine bar for some time, and now we do. Super close...so we really want this place to be successful! The ambiance was relaxing and cool, our waitress was very friendly and helpful and the bottle of zin we ordered was reasonably priced and jammy. Although we only ordered olives, it appears people feel the chef needs to fine tune the food options a bit. Of course we wouldn't mind one or two vegan options added as well. Unwined is very close to excellence. We will continue to support them as they hone their craft!

Meh. $15 a glass for a $19 (retail) bottle of wine? I'll give it another go when they have a few more months under their belt.

I do not understand all the rave reviews. The bruschetta had a huge glob of fig jam which threw the flavor out of balance. I would have preferred a spread over a huge amount of jam. Craft beers are delicious, however I feel as though I can get them at a better price at somewhere like postinos. I feel as though they are copying postinos, but don't have it figured out like them. The service was really good I'll give them that. The kellerweis on draft was delicious.

I was so excited a wine bar was coming to The Foothills! Unwined needs improvement... The wine was tasty but pricey. It also took 20 min to get our 1st glass which was unacceptable. Kale salad was delicious. The only really bright spot of my experience. Bruschetta was just bad! I ordered brie and pesto. Most of it went in the garbage!

Overpriced for what you get. Decor is awful. Owners kept walking in and out of the side door with a bus boy. Not sure what that means. Hope this place makes it and hope they expand their menu.
