the tasting room

laid back. took my mother here for mother's day. sat on the covered patio. mega laid back atmosphere andgreatwine/ food combos

let’s get right into it - the tasting room in uptown park gets a huge round of applause for their new oyster bar! first, it’s located in agreatspot in the restaurant, smack dab in the middle of all the action (for those that are familiar with the location it used to be the pizza bar). on to the whoo hoo moment - the oyster bar has it’s own bar area where you can order cocktails, wine or champagne! many will not understand why this is not only a whoo-hoo moment but a “wait what” moment. the tasting room at this location only served wine and having a cocktail program is brand new, so this along with the oyster bar is a huge deal. now that you have the deets about the spot let’s talk about the oysters...

i celebrated my 37th birthday here and had agreatexperience!! there were about 20 people in my party and we had a private room. our waiter was very patient and very organized, he got everyone's order correct. the only thing that i did not like was that we brought in an outside birthday cake and they charged us a cake cutting fee of $2 per person.

the wine wasgreatand the staff was very helpful. it is agreatplace for happy hour; however i wouldnot recommend the food. it was very expensive and came in very very small portions...

great wine. they hadgreatwine selections and the staff was very helpful! food wasgreattoo however, you do have to go up to the counter and order. pizza was really tasty!

well done!. urban spoon newbie here - but surprised to be the first to review ttr based on the huge popularity of the place. the uptown park (galleria) location is huge, feels very airy and open,greatwindows all the way around, and a terrific patio. the wine selection is really interesting (not typical store stuff) and the hand-written tasting notes on every wine i've always found to be spot on, in addition to charming. plus the "wine wall" wines are all under $30. the food is awesome! love the duck/cherry pizza. good place for groups, easy place to hang out (warning: it gets crowded!!!), they have live music sometimes, and there is a new vip room in the back which i've never gone into, but it looks real purdy from afar. ;) you can buy wine by the glass or bottle, and they offer retail too.greatspot!! three locations, but i've only been to uptown park. others are midtown (supposed to be the young, hip crowd with a gorgeous skyline view from the patio), and river oaks.
