A fun time with a really friendly and knowledgeable owner! Pro: -If you have your heart set on the nook or any other seat, you can make a reservation in advance online. -We enjoyed their wines and found a big variation in each pour, so there should be at least one pour that will suit your group's tastes! -The owner is a delight & the cave like interior makes the experience more intimate and cozy -Get the original grilled cheese. The bread and cheese are all good quality! Con: -Reservations cost $10 per person, and that is not refunded or deducted from your balance Get there earlier in the night to ensure a seat!

Fun little escape on Alberta. Great wines. Chill vibe. Grilled cheese menu is great if you need some provisions.

A groovy spot to enjoy some wine and cheese ... GRILLED cheese, that is! The sandwiches were tasty, and there are unique ingredient offerings. I recommend trying the wine of the pourer's choosing. We had great conversation with the person who poured us our glasses. The space is very intimate in Les Caves, so be prepared to sit close and cozy with your party or consider sitting upstairs in Les Clos. The overall ambiance was warm and inviting. My partner and I were fortunate enough to have access to the Nook and it was delightful. I recommend Les Caves and look forward to coming back. I do recommend to reserve your table, bar seating, or nook ahead of time because of the smaller indoor capacity.

Perfect perfect location! Stopped in on a Friday night for a date night with no reservation, and luckily we showed up at the perfect time. The wine was obviously fantastic, the service was incredible, very friendly and knowledgable with no condescension which was excellent because my date and I knew nothing about wine. We will absolutely be back, such a sweet and intimate little place.

For the record...we want to go back and try the grilled cheese sandwiches! We had a 7:45 pm dinner reservation so we didn't try them, but what a yummy looking sandwich. We did try the wine: a red wine from a small Eastern European country. Brent, our wine assistant, deftly helped us pick it. Super good btw. Come for the atmosphere. Come to people watch. And order your group a bottle of wine. We can't wait to return.

$14-22 per glass.Overpriced, low quality, uninteresting wine. For tourists that lack knowledge about wine.

Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Great for a date or outing with a friend or two. Extensive wine list, both for glasses and bottles. Our server Pierre was incredibly knowledgeable and made our visit a fun experience.

Unpleasant experience with Nathan. Upon entering to check out the space and glance at the menu for a future date night, I was abruptly asked to leave because of my child. Despite the female bartender explaining I was just browsing, Nathan insisted I depart and even hung up on me when I called to express my dissatisfaction. Such treatment is unacceptable, and I would not consider visiting this place again based on this incident.

A lovely space to sit and sip and learn about wine. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I've been interested in trying more vermouth and had a great one here. As we were leaving, a table was getting some of the fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, which looked delicious. Want to go back and try those. It's a small spot, so make a reservation if you want to make sure you get a seat.
Friendly knowledgeable staff in an incredible, unique and intimate space. Terrific wine selection and the grilled cheese sandwiches .... You just have to try them to understand how I credible they are.

So far we have visited twice and have had a lovely experience each time. We have sat at the upstairs Le Clos each time, we like the indoor/outdoor feel. The vibe is pretty chill with soft lighting and heaters, perfect for a first or second or 100th date. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, we've had wonderful conversations each time, and the wine options are great. The Wineman's Choice is a great option for those who are looking to explore and you can choose between red or white, you won't be disappointed. When it comes to the grilled cheese, the Oregonian is a great choice. Cheers!

This place was such a cool hidden gem! It's mostly reservation only since it's such an intimate setting but it's the perfect place to grab some high end wine with a friend or partner. The bartenders were attentive and fun and the grilled cheese sandwiches were the best grilled cheese I've had in years. While it isn't a full course meal by any means, the sandwiches are perfect to have on hand when you're letting the wine flow. Highly recommend this place.
