1st time....ordered a Sauvignon Blanc + olives. The olives were overly seasoned. The wine good. Sat at the outdoor patio. Table was wobbly.

Zero stars !!! We walked in at 6:44pm, not knowing "Happy Hour" ends at 7pm. We sat down at bar table closest to the bar & the front door as the bartender nodded to us. Another group of 3 took the table next to us after we sat down. We watched how 2 bartenders & 3 waitresses served customers away from the bar & in the outside patio area while walking past us every time. The 3 top next to us got served their happy hour order before us by the bartender. Meanwhile every staff member just walked past our table which was right next to the front door. Finally after 21 minutes, watching the wait staff chat to each other & hang out serving no one else new ( like us ) we left at 7:05. The staff was obviously waiting for the 7pm Happy Hour bell to ring & orders to end !! While they still sat in the wait staff area just hanging out. Maybe they should have came over to take our order after the 7pm bell ended. But they never did, so we just walked out - The entire staff was very unprofessional, very unfriendly, very uncaring if we wanted to stay, order, eat, drink, spend money & have a nice time !!! They just did not give a crap about customer service at all !!!

Seems like a nice place, sat for 15 minutes while everyone around us got served except us, finally thirsty and wanting to spend some money, I got up and went to Tommy's down the street that was busy but wanted my business. I'll give them another chance, I'll just plan on having more time

We had a great time at this wine bar on El Paseo on my last visit to the desert. The staff was friendly, the patrons were cool, hip and trendy, and the atmosphere overall was very nice.

It's the best restaurant in El Paseo. The food is fresh and tasty. Our waitress, the one with a pretty makeup, did a great job on the suggestions. We got Chicken Screws, Empanadas, Ahi, and beet salad.The blond girl did check on our table often. On Saturday night at 6 pm, there wasn't a single empty chair available. This place is doing really well.

We had been several times at Le Fe Wine Bar and enjoyed every single visit. There is a nice selection of wines, but especially the food menu is very good. We will continue to come here when in the area.

Why did we give it a 2 star overall rating given the higher individual ratings?The atmosphere is great. Dim yet comfortable. Open yet lively. At least for the first part of the night.We'd have to say, since our visit last year, the crowd was much thinner. For better or worse, that's up to you decide.We spent an enjoyable evening tonight and the prices weren't exorbitant but also not for someone on a budget.When we received the bill we noticed we were hit with a random corkage fee. In most of the country, a bottle of wine is cheaper than the glass with no fees added. Less labor less cost, right? Apparently not here. The upcharge on wine in a restaurant is already nothing to scoff at.When questioned what the fee was for since we didn't ask them to cork it for us, the original bartender who came to help as the other was too busy chatting away in the corner, tried to explain that it was an upcharge for a bottle.I asked him had I ordered glasses if it would be cheaper , he said yes it would be the cost of the bottle. Hmm, no corkage fee then?So we got charged for us to do your job. I bartended for years and popping a cork is 50 cents or less of work. It cost more for us to pour our own bottle apparently.Restaurant owners are seriously just getting too big for themselves.If you haven't realized, restaurants are a dime a dozen and many of us aren't playing along anymore. Atmospheres, specialty drinks, amazingly presented appetizers can all be replicated.Sadly, aside from from not going, the only way to send a message is to hold the front line responsible. Perhaps the front line might push back when they lose money over stupid greedy policies. We rarely tip less than 25-40%. Tip = .20xbill (20% of bill) - corkage fee

A Wineaux paradise! 1st visit, and it was during Happy Hour. The food was very good and more than just a bite size. We chose a bottle of the house offered wine, Pinot Noir, and it was above just average. I intend to go back and certainly recommend it to others.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible, didn't see a problem at all for anyone.

Service and place: ambiance was really nice. Me and my friend felt a bit ignored though maybe because it was only party of two? Or maybe something else? With large party tables, we observed different treatment. Not sure but not the best feeling especially if it’s your first time.Food: i ordered the chicken skewers, asked one of the servers if it was fresh or frozen and she just smiled like she doesn’t know or didn’t really care. It just looked and taste very similar to what i buy in a grocery store i go to and im pretty positive about it. I also don’t take spice too well and wish i knew that the sauce they use (chimichurri) was a bit spicy. It ruined my palate for the wine. My friend had the 3 empanadas and she had a mild upset stomach after.Wine: decent selection. I just went for the Italian red that my server recommended, $16 for 6 ounces. It was ok. Im sure they have better onesDietary restrictions: Wish they state if food was spicy or not and level of spice
