Great ambience with a bit of a local neighborhood feel. But not at all stuffy. We sat at the bar on a Thursday evening- the restaurant was packed every table and bar seat ended up full by 7:30. Wonderful wine list. My husband and I both tried the sommelier pick (white and red). Both on point and paired perfectly with our entrees. The shrimp and grits was pretty good, although the shrimp was a little bit fishy. My husband’s steak frites was also pretty good. Nothing mind blowing but nonetheless enjoyable. For dessert we split the bread pudding which was to die for!! HUGE but we ate every last crumb. Nice port selection as well. Would also be a great happy hour spot for wine and some apps or cheeses.

Feels like you’re at a cozy cabin that serves generous portions and has a wife assortment of wines you can choose from. I tried the lamb shank and burrata & pear salad.

I had an amazing experience at The wine house on valentines day weekend!
The food was absolutely delicious—I had the Smoked Salmon, and my husband had 8oz New Zealand grass fed filet mignon,and they were packed with flavor. The service was outstanding, with the staff being attentive and friendly. A special shoutout to the Manager,Ashleigh who personally came to our table to check in and make sure we were enjoying our meal. Her hospitality made the experience even better. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

We requested a Prix Fixe menu for my wife’s birthday. We invited 4 couples to join us for dinner and had an absolutely wonderful and delicious dinner. The staff were funny, attentive and accommodating. Best of all, my wife gave me an A+ for putting it together and I have The Wine House and Dinah, the owner to thank! Appreciated and will be back!

We went to this restaurant for dinner and were completely satisfied with our experience. All the dishes were freshly made and cooked with locally sourced ingredients. The food was delicious, and there was a great selection of wine. The recommended wine paired perfectly with the food. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was great, too. Overall, this restaurant is the perfect choice for dining in the area.

Visiting Old Town Fairfax, I was attracted because it was the only restaurant on a Wednesday night that had a real vibe. The Ahi tuna was pretty good, not the best I’ve had, and the service was good. I’d go back because of the vibe.

Living in Springfield we decided to try the Wine House on a whim for date night. Really glad we did. It’s upscale but does not feel stuffy. Wine was excellent and food good. They were able to customize their menu to meet our dietary preferences and needs.
We ordered the pear and burrata salad and French onion soup to start. Both were excellent. For our mains we ordered steak, asparagus, and their Champagne and Fries.
We will be coming back!

A wonderful first visit. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. We had the warm shrimp salad and the best burger I’ve had in a long time, the Kiwi cheeseburger with a fried egg.
Second visit, for dinner this time, was equally wonderful.
Bottles of wine very reasonable priced, save $10 when bought to go.

I enjoyed the Wine House on a Friday evening with my partner during Restaurant Week. Despite a challenge locating parking as there is a sign at North and University pointing in three directions, we found free parking about a block away.
There were limitations with our ordering unfortunately. The Restaurant Week Menu was the only menu available allowing us only to order from these sole offerings. At 35 dollars a person, the menu presents three courses, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. However, the patron can only choose 2 of the three courses for the 35 dollar price. Of course, the option to order one of the dessert items a la carte is available. My recommendation would be to offer an option to increase the price to include the three courses and a glass of wine (it is the Wine House after all). What is the difference of 10 or 20 dollars to provide the patron with an optimal dining experience? If not, offer the full menu and the restaurant flight as an option. However, my guess is that the Restaurant Week menu would be inferior compared to the full range of options if offered along side each other.
Hence the reason for me subtracting a star….
In closing, the appetizer wild boar sausage was tender, succulent, and paired well with the light mash potatoes. The beef burgundy was extremely flavorful, obviously slow-roasted, and paired well with the gnocchi, and the wine-based vegetable gravy with bacon. The crab cake with a side of fries and garden salad was light but filling. The wine we tried were both excellent and memorable.
I would visit again. There is covered, outdoor-patio seating and indoor seating available with comfortable seating.

This small restaurant is filled with wine bottles and has great delicious food. We got the short rib with asparagus. The asparagus was perfectly done with a crunch, but soft and there is a light garlic taste to it to give it a delicious flavor. The best asparagus I have had compared to many restaurants. The short rib was soft and juicy and had a great flavor. We also got the crab cakes which is a decent size and it came with string beans which were also cooked perfectly and with a tasty light flavor.
We have just had the prefix menu for restaurant week and ordered the pork belly with mashed potatoes and that was delicious. The pork tenderloin was wrapped in bacon and also very delicious. The crab cake with potatoes were delicious with some garlic seasoning. The crab cakes had very little filler and was deliciously browned.
Also try the mussels, it is delicious. From the lunch menu, the salmon salad with capers, grilled onion and asparagus was delicious. The salmon is from the Faroe island so it is absolutely delicious with the right amount of fat on it to make it flavorful.
Everything is fresh and flavors are perfectly savory with a balanced gourmet taste. Everything in this restaurant is made with detailed attention to the ingredients used and the chef here knows how to balance all of the flavors to yield incredibly tasty plates.
This is such a small, quaint and nice cute tucked away gem of a restaurant with truly gourmet food. The chefs here are really good what what they do.
They have wine tastings on Saturdays from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. and 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. The wine is excellent here paired with the food which is very gourmet. They have a lot of wine classes events and wine tasting events here. This place is a gem!
They have daily specials which range from halibut to braised lamb shank. The braised lamb shank is absolutely delicious served with potatoes and beans. The flavor is perfectly seasoned with the correct seasoned savory flavor. The meat is absolutely gorgeous and appearance and flavor and falls off the bone, tender and delicious.
The Icelandic cod is incredible! The flavor has a hint of citrus and olive and tomatoes with garlic. The filet of cod is generous and the flavor of the entire plate was so delicious! Definitely an entree to try if you like fish.
We will be back again for more wonderful delicious gourmet food with their fresh weekly specials!
