The Wine Cafe — Restaurant in Saint Charles

I want to start off with we love to support black own anything We have tried this place before when it first open it was very nice atmosphere and concept. But slow service, cold food the already processed and pre cook frozen food the brown and serve sausage link..the chicken strips in the freezer bag, whole foods waffles..If you giving me the pre cooked food I just would like it hot when it's served. So we tried it again because maybe the first time they may need to work out some kinks because it happens..again samething happens again with the food now the place has great mimosas..Maybe this is just a great place for drinks, maybe some dips, salads, pretzels, cheese and crackers. I think because real ingredients I don't see it in anything.. the owners are hands on which is great love to see it my food was cold my potatoes was cold like theey was cook at 8 am and it was 1 pm also the eggs was cold the cheese was not even melted..The was willing to take it off the bill but we don't want free food. I just want you all to get better feel you have to here the negative in order to get better when you maybe falling shorr at. I Feel like the food menu needs an upgrade with real food, ingredients and need to be assure when you place an order it will be fresh off the grill nice and hot..Live entertainment was great the weather was great the drinks was great..the food...

We were here for the grand opening of their expanded space. Kudos to these entrepreneurs for bringing a vibrant and upscale place to Main St. It was VERY busy, so we just got a couple things to share. The individual charcuterie board was perfect for us and so cute! I could picture their logo burned intoit and then sealed with varnish. The board had several crackers and pretzels, a few different cheeses, a couple strawberries, and a couple carrots. A piece of chocolate or a couple nuts would have finished it off, yet it was all still tasty. We also shared shrimp and grits. Beautiful presentation! The were six small shrimp, perfect for sharing and nicely grilled. The grits were sweet. I wasn't prepared for that! Nice texture though and simply lacking seasoning to be a great dish. Atmosphere was hopping and a nice duo was playing mellow music. There is an nice selection of wine and specialty beverages. A plus was having Tiara, one of the owners, right there serving and bussing tables. Great place. We will be back. There is a step up to enter. It would be nice to have a grab bar...

I’m torn completing this review as I have frequented “The Wine Cafe” on 3 different occasions. However I was there Saturday October 4th and ordered the spinach dip. The dip tasted off. I took 3 spoonfuls on chips and felt it tasted spoiled. I asked my sister to taste it and she spit it out immediately. I told the waitress and she had the manager come over. I told the manager and she was kind rude.. telling me nothing is wrong with the dip and her and her daughter had some earlier. She did take it off my check. Now I’m not the type to complain so how she spoke to me bothered me and I told the waitress to keep it on my check but I don’t want it.. she didn’t and said it was fine but also threw a back hand comment saying “maybe your tastebuds are off” again I just kept my mouth shut. Later that night I had the worst stomach ache accompanied by diarrhea. I feel it was definitely a result of the bad dip. What really gets me is the way the manager came off.. like something is wrong with me saying the dip wasn’t right. I really liked this place but I won’t...
