Editorial Review for Trios Enoteca – by David Soto
In Short
"Enoteca" means "wine library," and wine scholars will not be disappointed in the extensive catalog and knowledgeable staff here. In the front, jazz plays for candlelit couples slowly sipping wine, while the back houses a cigar-friendly lounge, complete with leather chairs and couches. There are no entrees, but a decent selection of appetizers are available, including the homemade basil torte. Can't decide? A sampler provides three for the price of two.

Don't go to this place if you value service. We went for happy hour on a Friday. One waitress appeared to be covering the entire bar area, so service was extremely slow. When we questioned our server about this, she told us the kitchen was just very busy, which would have been reasonable except that the entire space was only about half full. For a place that advertises itself as a high-end wine bar, they should be knowledgeable about wine and make an effort to ensure customers enjoy the wine they drink. A friend ordered a glass of wine she didn't like (neither did anyone else at the table); when she asked the waitress if she could have a different type of wine because the first one tasted bad to her, the waitress curtly told her that she would have the bartender taste the wine but that if it wasn't corked, she'd still have to pay for it. Unsurprisingly, the bartender said the wine was not corked. For a wine bar that encourages customers to try different wines, I found this attitude very poor - what are the chances a customer has tried every wine on their list and knows exactly what they like and don't like? The final insult was the 20% tip automatically added to every tab, even those people who had only one or two people on their ticket. I won't be going back to this slow, arrogant, and yes, overpriced place.
Pros: Extensive wine list
Cons: Overpriced and surly service

REALLY DISAPPOINTING!!! The atmosphere here is great, food and wine good, but overpriced. I reserved the cigar room for a birthday party. I had met in advance with the manager to decide on and order food. Party was booked 7-10 food coming out at 7:30. I arrived 20 minutes early and asked the manager if it was possible to have the food come out asap. They were able to bring one appetizer out by 7:15, another arrived at 8 at which point I went to see a manager.I had ordered (3 days in advance) an antipasta platter, artichoke dip,and 4 pizzas. They were to come out all together. When the dip came at 8 in a 8oz ramakin I had to find out what was up. The dip I ordered (by suggestion of the manager) was to be for TEN. She informed me that yes that was indeed what I had ordered for a price of $22.50 No joke. $22.50 for 8oz of dip.When I inquired about the rest of the food she informed me that the kitchen was slammed. Why did I waste my time coming in to order food 3 days in advance in a private room?? The pizzas finally came out at 8:45 . I did not bother to complain to the manager since she seemed put out the first time I spoke with her.Oh yeah, the private room has no music which is lame for a jazz club/wine bar. The only good part of the place was our server. She was great.I have worked in the restuarant industry for years and understand it's challenges.I have never bothered to write a review before, but this was such a let down.The worst part was I really felt like the management could care less about our experience even though we spent around $500 in the 3 hours we were there. Would not reccomend. Go to Dazzle instead.
