Wineworks For Everyone

Located in a tiny business area next to the 5 Oso Exit, this place is nicer and larger from the inside than you expect. We have been before to the sister restaurant next door with whom they share the same kitchen (not the menu). Excellent for a date, but there were also some families with children. We sat down at the bar without reservation. The service was very pleasant, with excellent and personal main service, and a little bit rushed waiters who brought out the dishes. The dishes were all very solid and delicious, we were very happy. The Guinness bread with salted honey butter (from the restaurant next door, but you can order menu items here as well) was already an excellent start. Calamari, Burrata salad, Mussels and Brussel sprouts were all wonderful. None of our food items were really surprising, just very well done and pleasant. What added a surprise element to us was the small but unexpectedly exciting wine list, certainly one of the main hooks of the restaurant. All wines we had were excellent, and I had the pleasure for the first time tasting a Mexican Marselan wine. A memorable experience, highly recommend.

A true gem in south OC with consistent delicious menu and top notch service for about 10 years now. Darren the owner is usually there and can recommend great wine pairings at very reasonable prices. I almost always go home with an extra bottle of a newly discovered wine based on his recommendation :)

A friend suggested this place. So happy they did. We had a great meal and a fantastic bottle of wine. The service was top notch as well. I really can appreciate what restaurants have gone through since COVID and it was nice to have a restaurant experience like I remember before COVID.

My fiancee and I came here for the first time and were highly impressed. We ate the Wineworks burger with brie fondue bacon and we also had a side of Brussel sprouts in this was combined with a red wine. It was absolutely fantastic! The burger, cheese and brussel sprouts were especially amazing.
