Wine Down on Market — Restaurant in Parkersburg

All in all a good place with good food. For the time and money spent on the visit we probably won't be back for a while. With that being said our server was good, a little lacking on timing tables as we were there for 15 minutes before we were brought water, but we were in no hurry. To the food, we enjoyed the calamari as an appetizer. While is was delicious I feel for the area, the amount of food and what exactly it is that $22 was too high, the aoili dip was fantastic. I would like to see a third more for that price or drop it to say $18. Onto the entrees, the wife had a Caesar salad and an appetizer the meatball on bruschetta. She enjoyed the salad and the price point was ok at $10, with a more fair price being $8. The meatball on bruschetta was delicious, however it was $20 and a realistic price point is $16 as it was a small meatball cut into 4 slices placed on 4 toasted pieces of bruschetta the flavor was definitely there. For my main course I had the Koji Aged Filet. The steak was cooked perfect and the green beans were delicious. The fingerling potatoes even though they were cooked in duck fat lacked flavor, a sprinkle of finishing salt would have went a long way with those. The taste of the meat was unique, but I anticipated that having never tried Koji aged. It was good just not my particular cup of tea. Lastly the triple chocolate mousse cake. Very much a disappointment. At $12 a slice I would have thought it would have been made in house, but the fudge exterior boasted a restaurant depot special (as you could taste the cardboard it came in.) All in all the food was good, but not worth the price point. This is my opinion and I know there are people that will enjoy the atmosphere and food there and I do encourage everyone to at least...

Let me just say what an incredible experience we had at Wine Down on Market... an absolute gem, and a must-visit in Parkersburg.

Was there last weekend with a group of five, and Kip and his team were absolutely fantastic. Funny, hospitable, knowledgeable, and fast service (but not so fast you felt rushed, we always felt welcomed), it was really a place where you felt like you had time and space to have a relaxed time while enjoying top-tier product.

Had a New York Sour, a PROPER Whiskey Sour (egg whites and all) topped with a beautiful red wine, which was unbelievable. Also had flights of rosé, Italian, sparkling, and California wines which were all extremely interesting and wines that we'd never had the chance to try before.

The food! Everything was delicious that we had, but huge credit to the Burrata, the chips and fondue, and flatbreads which were huge hits at the table. Everything well cooked, nothing overloaded or greasy, it was fantastic.

Kip, the owner, was also unbelievable. Super down to earth, came out and had a chat with us, and his wait staff made us really feel at home. We were just visiting family in Parkersburg for the weekend, but anytime we return, this will be a place we definitely stop off to enjoy, either for a nice relaxing lunch, or a treat for a night out. Thanks Kip - it was a truly...

2 visits to this location. First visit the chefs experience was not available dut to it being sold out. Not a problem had a great meal anyway. 6 days later return for the chef experience again not available at all this time. Ordered filet medium cook. Came out at best medium well dead center the rest was very much grey and overcooked. Tried to return the meal for a retire and the waitress returned carrying my over cooked steak with info from the chef that it was not over cooked and I should have ordered medium rare. Mind you I ate the exact same meal 6 days prior. She informed me that the chef wasn't trying to argue but only clarify. Clearly should have been refired instead wanted to argue about it. They were gracious enough to remove the meal I sent back from my bill. Currently heading to pick up take out for dinner. I would have taken a picture prior but I had faith it would have been taken care of..

Per the reply. The server was amazing and I had no complaints she took the steak back and was sent back to our table carrying the steak with a response from the kitchen. It sounds like it's everyone's fault...
