• Wine Bar • Englewood
Booked 1 time today
Rumours Wine Bar was brought to life from a vision that began back in 2019 in our living room. Dana had recently resigned from her Wine Sales position and wasn’t sure what she wanted to do next. She had always dreamed of opening her own Wine bar so we created our logo, our name, and our brand and simply followed our heart. We opened as a retail store in January 2020 and pivoted when the Pandemic started by creating an online store and offering curbside pick-up and delivery. In September 2020, we passed our final inspections and received our beer and wine license for “on-premise” consumption as well as a restaurant license. We have not slowed down since. We have won numerous awards from our local community including 2022 and 2023 "Best Local Cheers Bar." Our mission at Rumours Wine Bar is to simply embrace intellectual stimulation linked to wine in a relaxed and friendly environment.

    Acqua Pazza is the Gem of the Wellen Park restaurant scene. All the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Place is beautiful inside. Even on Valentine’s night, the service and food was amazing. Manager Angela is the best. She makes you feel like family. She recently purchased a warm chocolate machine and has mastered the chocolate mix and can serve it in an espresso cup. It is amazing. We are hoping it is added to the menu soon as a dessert. It is rich and creamy and the perfect blend of dark and milk chocolate. I used to go to Brussels a lot and her presentation is better than the best in Brussels. The swordfish piccata, grilled octopus are amazing. The menu is very thought out and each dish is very special. Haley and all the bar crew are the best. Attentive, friendly, and just a pleasure to be with Restaurant is super clean and very modern. Bathrooms are beautiful with colorful tile walls. Yes, I highly recommend Acqua Pazza.

    We had an incredible dining experience at The Banyan House! Our evening started at the bar with the signature Banyan Cosmo, which was not only delicious but also came with a fun twist—a bubble on top which was an amazing presentation. It was a perfect way to kick off our celebration for a friend’s birthday. For dinner, we enjoyed the ribeye, short rib, and grouper, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the presentation top-notch. The menu offers excellent choices, ensuring something for everyone. A special shout-out goes to Cem, our server, whose exceptional attention to detail and warm personality made our celebration even more memorable. Cem was attentive without being intrusive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. The patio was airy and provided the perfect ambiance for a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. The atmosphere, combined with attentive service, made the night even more special. Overall, The Banyan House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Fantastic food, great drinks, and a beautiful setting—highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back.
