Cave a' Vin

I feel like this place is close to having the vibe that they want to have (a cute/classy French wine bar), but for me it's ruined by a few fixable things. Some things I noticed were a TV that's always on, music that doesn't fit the ambiance, closing at 10 when Google says they close at 11, or other small things that August nailed like having paper menus instead of plastic. Years ago they had some live music that was great (piano/a woman singing French songs), would love to see that again!

Unfortunately this place is just not very good. Pretty poor selection of wine in a somewhat bizarre atmosphere. With a little bit more effort, it could be a much welcomed addition to the going-out options in East Rock, but for now you’re better off drinking at home.

Cozy and cute. Food was excellent. Cheese board was delicious. A little dark and cold. My teenager picked this place for dessert fondue. White sangria was delicious.

Bad execution. Hope the owners read this and make some changes; just constructive criticism. A small bar with big leather couches and a piano that takes up seating space. A bar manager is desperately needed. We literally had a lady argue about having the couch for herself...and her (young) son. Who brings a kid to a bar!? And so: the host gave her the seating area. We waited for our charcuterie plate and flatbread for 45 minutes...and had to cancel. It wasn't even made. Such a shame. Had high hopes at the beginning and it all fell apart. Oh, we never even got water.

Wonderful little wine bar with a small outdoor seating section. Had a great selection of wine and their happy hour prices are worth it. Loved their "wine flight" where you can try different kinds of wine without paying pull price for a whole glass. Would recommend and go back. Save room for dessert.

We enjoyed great food, live music and outstanding service! Mature, friendly atmosphere, beautiful decor and HUGE selection of wines. You can tell the food and desserts are meant to pair with a wide variety of wines. A nice selection of beer for the beer lovers as well. This place has something for everyone! Cheeses, crackers, meats warm olives, dips... The list goes on.... If you are looking to tantalize your taste buds THIS is the place to go. Well done Cave a' Vin.. Cheers 🥂

Everything about this place is great! I do a lot of traveling and this is now one of my top places! The wine selection, atmosphere, seating, charcuterie selection, all are A+ for me which says a lot.
