The Wine and Spirits Kitchen — Restaurant in Delray Beach

terrible menu, INSANELY overpriced food that tastes worse than mcdonald's and surprisingly for a "wine room" had a very limited selection of wine. cool concept but very poorly executed in all departments. for a place like this, the saving grace COULD be friendly service but unfortunately we didn't receive that either. whoever works the phones / front desk is the nastiest person i have EVER had the unpleasantness of crossing paths with. honestly this is the type of person i am mind blown that they would choose the hospitality profession. she had the WORST attitude and made us all feel unanimously uncomfortable and borderline attacked from the second we arrived to the second we left. the worst part is that after spending $1500 (on dog food) we were getting screamed at for waiting by the host stand after our meal because it was pouring rain outside. oh but she was "asking us nicely" … screaming / arguing with me rather than APOLOGIZING. a simple "thanks for dining here" or “i apologize for your experience” would have stopped me from writing this, but truthfully the host or manager whoever she was is the sole reason i'm even donating my time to describe my experience tonight. hopefully the owners of this establishment can recognize, improve and ultimately find someone friendly and accommodating to greet and treat customers.

UPDATE: got a phone call from "management" this afternoon. instead of expressing their sincere apologies for the way that we were treated and our overall experience.... INSTEAD, my review was picked apart, judged and criticized and had a defense prepared for every point i reviewed... which ultimately ended with me feeling harassed and attacked. The manager actually personally insulted me before hanging up on me?! I'm sorry i hurt your feelings that your food and employees (except for our server who was the only nice person) was honestly that terrible?! This should be a place for customers to express their honest opinion and a place for management to use that information to make improvements, not to call and bully people for leaving a bad review. Still never got an apology for anything, i just got harassed instead. very sad and unethical. what was the point of even calling me at all? just to harass me? shame on...

Where do I even start with this place?

Located in the heart of Delray with a remarkable selection of wines so thought out and diverse. Do yourself a favor and taste some for yourself! Love their system; it's like getting a card ($3 charge per card) at Disney. Transfer some money, get a glass of wine and go around trying different variety of wines. So easy and simple you don't have to forever wait for a server to notice that you want another glass.

We were a party of 8 but it turned into a party of 11 at the last minute. Surprise birthday dinner for one of our friends who enjoys wine.

Upon reservation on a Tuesday night; we were seated at a private area; we loved it! Since we were a party of 11, per person we had to spend $75; if we would've been less then $100 per person. If everyone does; you get wine bottle samples which is interesting. We got plenty that's for sure!

We ordered a little bit of everything. • Brussel Sprouts (could’ve been better) • Roasted Chicken Skillet (they were a hit) • WRKB Burgers (perfectly grilled) • Baked Great White Oysters (overly salty) • Charred Octopus Fra Diavolo (perfectly cooked) • Steak Tartare (no comments) • Honeycrisp Apple & Brie Flatbread (no Brie whatsoever) • Tomahawk (When someone orders their steak medium and they bring it medium well - disappointed) • Chef's Roasted Chicken (over cooked - unpleasantly dry) • Prime Heritage Flat Iron Steak (roasted garlic horseradish aioli was on point) & over 4 different Chatcuterie

ALL IN ALL with the amazing selection of wine in this place I would've expected the food to be a little more presentable and amazing flavors but you might as well are better eating elsewhere and just coming over for the wine.

The overall atmosphere is so comfortable and upscale at the same time and it's a definitely a plus that our server was so warm and present with my friends and I. The staff is efficient and precise.

The wine cellar is so beautifully designed that creates a space that is perfect for celebrations and parties of any occasion.

Highly recommended only to get a group of your friends and enjoy wine tasting! Make sure to eat elsewhere as food is totally...

So, at this point, I'm so sorry we put off coming here this long. I've been wanting to come, but my experience far exceeded what I was expecting. From my bartender Jake to the food samplings we had from the happy hour menu to the wine and beer and the ambiance and decor, it was awesome! We tried the Charred Shishito Peppers, Prime Rib Sliders, and the Mother Clucker Flatbread. Okay, so the Prime rib sliders were something that you can't even put down. The flavor was amazing coming from the beef au jus and horseradish aioli absorbed in the beef. The shishito peppers were unexpectedly different than the normal kind of sweet tangy spicy we get other places, but these brought their own style & were so delicious. The flatbread... we could taste the flavors of the unordinary chicken leg pieces and the flavor that was brought from the confit cooking style. The happy hour beer selection was nice for my fiance ranging from a heavy Jai Alai IPA to a Outkast light draft for $4; while I opted for the Chardonnay, Postmark, of the night for the happy hour ($7) which was fruit forward, crisp, & delicious and I was in love ❤️. I was even lucky enough to try the Steak Tartare, which had the taste of the horseradish cutting into the steak perfectly to form the most immaculate combination of flavors with their house chips. Jake was awesome....informative, and even though he was busy, he spent time telling us about the nightly specials and the Sunday poker night in the speakeasy! We can't wait to come back.... the happy hour is 3 to 6:00 during the week and all day on Sundays! There is also an ITB special on Monday 6:00 to close, & there's other specials to catch anyone's attention. I haven't even mentioned the wines that are available to get by the glass in a variety of pours that you can never get in other places because of slight selection by glass. There is even a special night where you can buy a wine card and they will double what you put on there. It's just amazing...We are officially on this train 🚆 🙌...fyi I would estimate our price per person during HH being that we each had three...
