wine dive

do me in once.... the wine guy was good as was the appetizer but the dinner (ahi tuna) was horrible! i tried two bites only because i wanted to give it a fair chance. when i told the server about the tuna, the service went to zilch and i was "onlly" charged half price for the tuna i couldn't eat. no one came to follow up regarding my complaint. i closed out my tab, left, and enjoyed a delicious dinner at il vicino's.

had mike's wine dive done the right thing i might have given them a second chance. instead, in exchange for the eight bucks they charged me for bad fish, they lost a customer for life. hope that eight dollars gets them through these tough times. with food and customer service like i received they'll be gone in a year.

fav. wish we could go here every night. we're regulars on thursday nights for wine and fun. the service here is near the best in all of wichita. drinks are a tad pricey.

mike's wine dive is always on our list when it comes to great places to frequent even though it's a bit of a drive for us. the food is always outstanding. we've tried several things on the menu and have never been disappointed. the service has always been top notch and the restaurant itself is cozy, comfortable and romantic. but it's the wine list that will blow you away. it's so extensive and has such wonderful choices that you will be blown away. this is a must if you are in the area. (or even if you aren't. it's worth the drive!)

i have never been to wichita and this place looked right up my alley. not so much. the spinach salad came with this mayo tectured green dressing that overpowered all its awesome ingredients. the salad became doable after finally ordering red wine vinegar straight. i ordered the wild boar pasta. now the boar was tender, pasta cooked to perfection but nothing else stood out. no great marinara. no great fresh veggies. i was just disappointed. i also sat at the bar so i could see the kitchen. 2 "chefs" in the kitchen sat there and giggled at nothing for all of 10 minutes. i couldnt understand them at all. there was however a gentleman in the corner with headphones working his tail off. he was quick, quiet, and efficient. one of the servers did seem annoyed by the two laughing guys in the kitchen. overall it could have been better. would not go back.

i was unimpressed, i meani guess if you can't cook yourself this place might be okay. everything is beige and disappointing. entrees are boring, and it's rare they add a fresh herb even as garnish.

we were seated right away. the wrw menu looked promising, but the only great thing was the sea bass. our tiramisu came out frozen, but they did give us a new "half frozen" one to replace it and a ticket for a complimentary appetizer on our next visit. service was average. the absolute best part about the dining experience was the ambiance. we will definitely give it another go in the future. i always like to try places twice before making a decision on whether i really like them or not.

my friend and i each ordered a dinner were disappointed. mine was near inedible, tasting very bitter from lemon rind. our waitress wasn't 21 and knew nothing about wine. i wouldn't go back.

best for dinner. i've been here for brunch, lunch and dinner. of the three, the dinner menu is the best and has the greatest options to choose from. it's worth your while to check it out on a nice evening and eat dinner on the patio.

since when is guiness scottish? fail.

not all that but worth a try. drinks are good..... over cook coconut shrimp??? and hummas was cold and veggies old....
the drinks are awesome sauce! !!!!!
and management handle the situation well.....makalla was the manager and she is a asset for this place. ..

i think this place is great. the scallops are always fresh, the oysters are delish. even got my mother to try 1, then she continued to finish them. should have ordered the full plate. lol. the risotto is always cooked to perfection. the only complaint is that it is very hot in there during the summer makes it a little uncomfortable to stay and enjoy more wine!!!

great atmosphere. we arrived at 12pm on a sunday for brunch. we ordered the lobster hash, seafood omelette and cuban sandwich. everything we ordered was great and priced well. the bloody mary, irish coffee, blackberry mojito and pain killer were great as well. service was good and there was no wait to be seated. i am surprised this place is not raited higher than 75%. three entrees and 4 alcoholic beverages plus a coffee and a soda and our bill was only 68.00.

overall this place is ok. i've enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and i live just down the street so these things keep mecoming back. i've never been very impressed with the service though. the staff just doesn't seem to care all that much, isn't very engaging, and i feel like i'm just another table they need to deal with. i hope the food and atmosphere stay worthwhile, otherwise i will probably stop coming here.

one of our favorites. we were there for our 40th anniversary. good wine list, steak quality is outstanding, seafood mac & cheese...take it home for breakfast!!!

great wine...hit or miss food. first...i love the wine list and the general vibe / atmosphere of mikes wine dive.

i've had some great food here--sandwiches, cheese plates, anchiote pork chops.

i've also recently had some poor food here--both in quality and preparation. they have a $22 filet and a $30 ribeye on the menu. the server made an effort to describe that the steaks were from creekstone farms--the "same place chester's chophouse gets their steaks from." asking about which steak came with mushrooms, i chose the ribeye over the filet for that specific reason.

my steak came out, without mushrooms, and cooked medium well. i'd asked for medium. the sides of mashed potatoes were cold, and the sauce on the steak--while i think they were aiming for an au poivre--was more reminicent of teriaki. i asked the server about mushrooms, and she brought out a bowl of mushrooms swimming in the sauce. the steak was very fatty--not marbled like a normal ribeye, but huge chucks of fat both around the edges and within the steak itself. the vegetables were pretty good--squash, zuc, and green beans.

overall, it just wasn't that tasty, and it wasn't worth $30.

and ps--don't hype your steak by dropping the name of the most respected steakhouse in town unless you're going to prepare it half-way decently.
