   They were really nice about giving us a better table. The one they originally had assigned us was by the entrance and the host and we didn’t like the positioning of the table.

   Being our favourite restaurant, we celebrated my Wife's Bday. I experimented with their mussels programme. Its inventive and similar to a wine tasting. I personally like the cream sauce which is similar to that offered back in Québec; but WH's is better! Famille FERRIER

   I was a little disappointed that the pre fixed meal is gone. They change their menu. On the other hand they still made it possible for me to have my favorite salmon with salad.the service is always outstanding and the food is delicious. The free wine tasting was so delightful!

   We were given a gift certificate and recently enjoyed our dinner at The Wine House. We love New Zealand and Australian wines and were lucky to find out they were being featured . We loved our sample flights. We enjoyed our salads ( Endive Bleu Cheese and Burrata over grilled asparagus ) and loved our entrees of Fish Stew and Rack of Lamb. Service was fantastic. It was a drizzly evening so all tables and bar seats were occupied yet the noise level was fine . We are looking forward to sitting outside on our next visit. It is a wonderful restaurant for sure! Cheers!!🍷

   The AU/NZ wine flight and the food were awesome. A special shout-out to Daniela, who was great, very attentive, made good recommendations, and has a positive, nice, infectious personality.

   First time back at this CLASSIC place after a while away. So comforting to find all the exceptional ownership and team still providing one of the VERY best dining experiences in this area. Food and prep were excellent, as we have come to expect. And some newer staff carried forward the WH welcoming traditions with style. We'll be back again soon!

   Had the absolute best dinner at The Wine House Restaurant last night. From the moment we sat down, everything felt just right. We kicked things off with champagne and French fries—such a fun and unexpected pairing, and honestly, it totally worked. The bubbles were crisp and refreshing, and the fries were perfectly golden and salty. Super cute idea and a lovely way to start the evening. For mains, we had the ribeye with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes, and the short ribs with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Both dishes were phenomenal. The ribeye was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, with just the right char—and the Brussels sprouts were fresh and well-prepared, simply done but a great match for the steak. The short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth good, rich and comforting, and paired beautifully with the creamy mash. The whole vibe of the place is warm, relaxed, and just a little fancy in the best way. Great service, cozy atmosphere, and food that seriously delivers. Can’t wait to go back.

    The Wine House is our “go to” restaurant in Fairfax for delicious food, great service, and comfortable ambiance.
