Vino Wine & Tapas Room — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Wow! What an incredible gem on Ventura Blvd!

Yay! Happy hour! And another after 10pm!

Firstly, our server Star, who also may have actually been the manager, was absolutely wonderful. What a doll. She was attentive, delightful to talk to, and very informative with the extensive wine menu. While my guest is a wine snob, I know basically nothing about anything to do with wine. She was very patient with me and actually taught me quite a lot over the short amount of time we spent there for dinner. She made us feel very welcomed in a new space and if the food had sucked, she would have made up for it, thankfully though it didn't!

Speaking of the food. Kiss the chef. I could eat the Patatas Bravas Every. Single. Day. The lentils ("Lentejas"), were warm and felt somehow nostalgic to a home cooked meal.

We shared a plate of the "Montaditos", which was great for getting a couple different flavors that we could both enjoy. The goat cheese is incredible. The perfect size to accompany a glass of wine if you're not overly hungry or a big eater, or in a hurry! This goes for the olives and almonds ("Aceitunas Y Alendras") too!

The prawns while on the pricey side, worth it. That could be an entree with how fat and tasty they are, though I could never come back and only eat those alone. Too many other good options.

Very much looking forward to coming back and trying something else! Glad a good restaurant still stands...

Greeted as soon as we arrived, by the valet service, great guy, great personality, best part of the visit along with the wine! Table touching is lacking aka following up on the patrons meal and needs i.e. wine re fills. Sat in a back room all alone, as though we were not WANTED in the establishment, maybe our money wasn't green enough. If it wasn't for a patron that's basically a regular and she was there to plan for a huge party the following week, we would have been left in the dark room alone unattended. This woman got with management on her own doing, and had us re-seated out in the open patio with other couples for a more suitable, enjoyable dining experience. Yet in still service still lacked. Lastly once again I will say that the Valet gentlemen and the wine was the BEST part of the night. I/we were not looking to be blown away with over the top service, yet not being properly attended too was lacking. Example, upon ordering our appetizers the server darted off without our main course order and never returned. I had to ask the expediter/busgirl to get our server after our 2 appetizer were finished. Once they get these items addressed within the serve staff it will get a better...

This was my first time here and I have been wanting some tapas. We made reservations for this place through Open Table. We went during happy hour which had a few items that were available for $9 including some wine. We tried a few things from the tapas mine as well as from the main menu. We tried the shrimp ceviche, the chicken strips with fries, ham croquettes, calamari, bataas bravas salmon slider with fries and their empanadas. The food was pretty good. We really enjoyed the empanadas. We tried some of the wine on the tapas menu. I want to shout out the server who was subbing for his wife because he doesn't actually work there but he did a great job. Thank you, Enrique! Such a sweet staff. At night time they do have some entertainment but we missed it. We left around 6pm. This place looks deceivingly small from the outside but on the inside they have several areas for large groups. Honestly, I would definitely come...
