Cheese Meet Wine — Restaurant in Everett

Cheese Meet Wine! Extremely impressed! What a wonderful place to enjoy on a Sunday afternoon at Encore. I knew I would love it and was beyond happy with the choices that we were given. The staff that were so personable and clearly educated in all of the items that they have to offer. There is one REALLY reasonable choice: 2 glasses of wine and a nice board with bread and meat and cheese for $29. We were going to do that at first, but we wanted a little more and were led the way by both Kyle, the Chef, and Lindsay, our wonderful wait person. We ended up with a fantastic bottle of wine (Assyrtiko, Santorini, Greece 2007) that went perfectly with our "World Tour" platter. With the "World Tour" platter we did add the Acorn Fed Bone In Shoulder (Jamon Iberico de Bellota) because my husband was craving it, and our tinned fish choice was the Anchovies a la Basque. The blue cheese was unbelievably smooth, the prosciutto was amazing (and we watched them cut it right in front of us), and we had 2 other cheeses (oh my gosh, the Epoisses! its a brie-ish but different), 2 other meats, warm fresh bread with butter, cranberry pecan crisps, and lots of little pickled items. All in all...this is the perfect little spot to enjoy a nibble, or a feast, in an upscale atmosphere, without necessarily going beyond your budget. We will be back! My photo is of a 'World Tour" platter, but they can mix and match however you like. Thank you Lindsay, Kyle, and staff! You completed...

I am a regular at Cheese Meet Wine, and part of that reason, if not the main reason is because of Ayoub and Peter. Well yesterday I went for dinner and much to my disappointment neither of the two were there. I would not be so hard pressed if the two newbies working were not so bad that it made me never want to return again. The server asked me if I wanted the “red or white Pinot Nior” and it was then I knew I was in for a new experience. He knew nothing about the meats or cheeses offered. I asked for hot pepper jam and honey and he seemed perplexed. The woman behind the counter had to clarify with me what I was asking for. Ayoub and Peter are what make the experience an experience which maybe I didn’t appreciate or realize until getting this new waitstaff. I will not be returning until either one or both (Peter and Ayoub) return. Three different potential parties came to the restaurant while we were seated and asked if Ayoub was there, when the answer was no.. all three left. That should tell you something right there. Without those two this place is not somewhere I will be returning. Please please get...

We had such an incredible time here. It was pretty empty, later at night, midweek, pandemic…and so we were treated to individualized attention by our supreme waiter Barret and the gentleman who crafted our orders, Pedro, a real artist. They could tell we were foodies and the more little samples we got, the more we ordered. And it was all completely sensational. The midnight moon cheese was out of this world. Everything was extraordinary and it wasn’t all that expensive for the amount of food we got. The prosciutto Parma was enough to bring tears to our eyes. It was so much fun, an experience, an activity. It was really very reasonably priced. We got a lot of food and didn’t break the bank. We went with San Pellegrino water instead of wine. This was all about the charcuterie and it didn’t disappoint. Our board had so many little delights: nuts, olives, apricots, honey comb, quince, fig paste, pepper relish, French butter and yummy crusty bread.

Love it! We...
