This place has been shut down for almost a year with no sign that they will ever reopen. Not sure why it’s still on Google Maps.

Sad to see it's closed down. I loved the food here and I always experienced friendly service

This used to be a great little place to go. Good wine, nice folks, decent food. However, they seem to have gone out of business. No big deal, it happens, except, they have a $35 a month "membership". I have been calling, emailing, texting, IG, FB to try to get them to stop charging my credit card as a) I moved out of town, and b) they now appear to be completely out of business. I even stopped in when I was in town in January and spoke to them about stopping the payments, which they assured me they would. I've called my bank and started a dispute, but that is complicated and takes time. Laura, Mario, this has become unacceptable. I was a loyal member and fan. But this behaviour is bordering on unethical. Mario, I understand you are running for city counsel. You need to clean up your act. Gord Harrison

Loved the chill and very cozy atmosphere at the London Wine Bar. The Food, Jazz Duo and ofcourse the Wine was wonderful. Totally enjoyed and might just be back again this Friday. My server was really attentive and polite aswell.#LoveLondonWineBar.❤

Honestly, I love the food here but the customer service is not there at all. The past two times I’ve tried to go, I spent days and days trying to call to make a reservation with no one picking up the phone during your hours. Then, we tried to send a dm and Instagram and no one answered. Meanwhile, my friend I was meeting who just tried to ask for a table if there was space and and you were all booked up. I understand you being booked, but you seemed appalled she tried to come in the restaurant with no reservation. The restaurant was pretty much empty too with only two tables being used. How do we make a reservation if you don’t answer the phone? The time before this, the exact same thing happened. No one picked up the phone, no email reply, no reply on Instagram after numerous attempts.You need an online reservation system seeing as you can’t pick up your phone ever. I really do love the food and was looking forward to the mulled wine; however, I can’t seem to ever make a reservation here.

Everything was excellent. Great atmosphere and a great variety of delicious tapas to choose from. Music was wonderful as well.

I was really looking forward to coming here. It's my first time going out to eat since the latest round of restrictions were lifted.That said, I regretted it almost immediately. Our reservation was at 6, we got appetizers at 6:20 and then waited an hour for main course to come. They apologized for the wait when they brought the food and 5 minutes before as well, but thats and extremely long time to wait without any acknowledgement.The food itself was okay. The Caesar salad was the strangest thing I've eaten. There was no bacon, mushrooms smoked instead. The green was kale which is a strong earthly flavour so the choice of using a vinegarette instead of a traditional creamy dressing was misguided.I got the pierogie flatbread for my main. It was average. The crust was excellent but the yogurt sauce was flavorless unfortunately so all you could taste was caramelized onions as the only other topping was potato. The people I was with got the pork belly which WAS good but the portion was miniscule.Also, the dessert was a disaster. It was Londonlicious so they had the option of creme brulee, mulled wine or cheesecake. I opted for cheesecake but it was ultimately a frozen Costco variety cheesecake with random raspberry coulis on top. My friend got APPLE cheesecake and it was covered in raspberry coulis. Misguided. Not only that the raspberries on the side were clearly not properly washed as they had a bug on their plate. Really not okay.Just terrible. I arrived hungry. And now I'm leaving hungry and with a headache from the bad, extremely loud atmosphere. I won't be back.

We came to partake in the Londonlicious event. The "kale ceaser" was kale with some sort of vinagarette and mushrooms that were slightly smokey that were crisped to be bacon. Apparently ceaser is a concept because there was nothing creamy about the salad. We've been here an hour and a half waiting for our mains. The second wine pairing became warm during the wait but I was told they were good pairings. Will mention the truffle stuffed mushrooms was fantastic as were the mains, when they finally did come. The pork belly was hands down the best for flavour of all the dish options but smallest portion if you're very hungry. Nothing on any of these plates would take an hour to make and they do keep apologizing for our having to wait so long. I understand none of this is on the servers. The desserts we got were the cheese cake and mulled wine. The mulled wine was fine but the cheesecake tasted exactly like those frozen cheesecakes from Walmart with an added rhaspberry compote, the tiny bug on the plate came free.. Why you would put a rhaspberry compote on Apple pie or pecan cheesecake is beyond me. All in all the apps, main, and dessert took 2 hours. Nothing we recieved was worth the wait or the price.

Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. A variety of food choices which are different from the standard restaurant / bar options. Several food options for sharing.Staff are welcoming and pleasant. They have an extensive collection of bottled wines and a more limited selection of wine by the glass. I would have liked to see some reds with a little more age by the glass and maybe something a little more full bodied to try.Over all a great experience. Live music the night we were there.

Sensational..simply very good.The service was exceptional.The food was excellent and the music was very good.It's my favorite place now to have a good time
One of my new local favourites. Great vibe, with tasteful live music and decor. We tried a variety of cocktails / tapas and everything was superb. Highlights included the Whipped Ricotta Salad (one of the best salads I’ve ever had in London) and the Steak Crostini. We also enjoyed the Patatas Bravas, Pear & Brie Crostini and Truffle Tapenade. They just released a fall themed cocktail menu which included Pumpkin Spice Smash and Pumpkin Pie Martini. Excellent service despite a full restaurant. Will definitely be back.

We were enjoying a few glasses of wine last night when they announced last call. At 11:00 sharp, the server said it's 11 now, it's time to go. What is up with that? Nothing like being able to wrap your evening up by chugging your wine.

I’ve lived in this city for many years and have found no better overall dining experience than the London Wine Bar. I often have friends and family visit from overseas and bring them here when I want to impress them. A perfect experience every time!

Stumbled on this place knowing nothing about it and was very impressed. A delicious Dark 'n Stormy, excellent tapas, and a delightful server. A very nice find!
