• Wine Bar • Englewood
Booked 2 times 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.

    Cassariano's is my favorite restaurant for many reasons. First the food is always amazing...it looks spectacular, and tastes as even better than it looks! The staff is always attentive and does their best to make sure your dining experience is perfect. As an added bonus, on Sunday evenings there is a jazz band that truly is the finishing touch for a delightful experience!

    Ophelia’s was fabulous as usual! We have never had anything but fabulous food, wonderful service & a beautiful outdoor dining experience! This is our favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area and possibly just our favorite restaurant period. Chris provided wonderful service tonight and our meal was timed perfectly by him so that we could enjoy every aspect of it! An overall beautiful dining experience!

    Our waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. We always enjoy the mix of crackers/bread with butter/hummus and olive oil to start. We added the shrimp cocktail which were a good size of 5 shrimp for 2 of us to share. We enjoyed the fried shrimp perfectly coated and the Prime Rib was tenderly cooked to perfection. The side of Cole slaw, baked potato and asparagus was paired wonderfully. The 4 roses small batch select bourbon was really good and the white chocolate martini was a good mix of vodka and liqueur, with chocolate rim and the added touch of a Hershey kiss on the bottom.
