The Wine Library holds a special place in my heart. This place is an absolute gem! The impeccable selection of wine and exquisite food never cease to amaze me. Despite living on the lower north shore, I find myself willingly traveling here for the sheer pleasure of indulging in their offerings. The atmosphere is truly delightful, and the value for money is exceptional. With an extensive wine list that caters to every palate, The Wine Library is an unparalleled destination for wine enthusiasts like myself.

There are few places I repeatedly go back to, but the Wine Library is top of this list for me. Tim and Antonio have an incredible knowledge of wine and a huge selection on offer. For those not sure what to order, you're in the best and friendliest wine hands in Sydney to get what you want or try something new. Just like the front of house, the chef's also know how to delight. I could close my eyes, order whatever my finger landed on and be confident I'll be talking about it with my friends the next day. Love your work!

Great wine, bad food. It’s a cute wine bar with a nice atmosphere. The wine was tasty and there is a great selection of it. The food was a huge let down and overpriced for what it was. One of the oysters that was served (pictured) was the smallest thing ever and didn’t taste great. The carrots was soaked in oil and the cracker that came with cheese was stale. I’d come back for a wine but not for the food.

We had a hens party in the private room upstairs and the venue was perfect! The staff were incredible and super helpful in putting the day together and were so easy to work with in the lead up and on the day. Would 100% recommend!

Came on a Saturday night just for some wine and got some oysters. Didn’t book and luckily they have space, welcoming staff and nice date night vibes with the dim/mood lighting. Sat outside which is great on a nice night. Vast wine list and the oysters were good, I do wish it came with a lemon to squeeze on top but they were good nonetheless. It was more on the pricey side of thing but wine was delicious with Orange wine options and decent food menu.

Had a boys catch up luncheon on Friday and we had the greatest time. Food was great and we enjoyed the best wines. Some of us boasting that we enjoyed perhaps the best Riesling we have ever tasted. Most of all Tim and his team were the best. Great knowledge and recommendations with nothing too difficult for our rowdy bunch of 50 somethings. Service was exemplary.

I celebrated my 70th birthday with a cocktail party upstairs. I had a great time and my guests were all delighted with the venue itself, the food and the wine and the really excellent service from Antonio and (i think) Elena. I would certainly recommend the Wine Library for any smallish function!

Amazing food and wine. Very helpful team that answered all questions extensively. Clearly people with passion for wine and they know how to pass that onto customers. Did i mention amazing food? Great place for a date or business dinner.

Having enjoyed a fun Bastille Day evening last year, I emailed to ask if the Wine Library was going to do something similar this year and was told that it would. In fact (new management?) there absolutely wasn’t: (ignore that no table was available when we arrived (on time - gaging been told that it was “no problem”) or that a the broccolini arrived half an hour after the main course). there was nothing at all to mark the occasion, when there were any amount of of other places we might have gone for a genuine celebration. So: duped and disappointed - one to avoid.

The three of us were looking forward to an evening of good food paired with even better wines (quality and variety). The expectation of the latter is high as you did call yourself a library. Your $90 bottle of Riesling that’s pleasant accompanying the starters and a $190 bottle of red with the mains, pricey but hey at least it’s 5/6 years old and the staff bothers to decant it. Went down so well with our mains. Elsewhere, diners are so sick of paying $150 for a 2022 vintage where labels smell printer or $750 bottle selling for $85 at Kemeny’s. My point is, guys, customers are reasonable and as long as you aren’t taking the p*** we are ok you make some money and we will pay happily. Keep on doing the right things, do your homework, source good wines, treat customers like friends and we will return. Food, service and ambience: booking made at 7 but no proper table till 8. Sorry one of us spoke a little strongly to your staff but after that, we were looked after. We thought telling the outgoing people they overstay is common sense. I reckon the narrow entrance already packed with patrons against the wall disoriented us. We kept walking to the middle section (the bottleneck) and Anthony (we met later that night) wanted to put us on a table but was stopped by his colleague. I think $170/head we paid for an evening we expect a bit more there with reception and table arrangement. Food: very good the boys wanted a straw with the mash and the beef bourguignon authentic and rich. I love the mushroom risotto and the prawns tempura. We will come back and check out your lunch heard it’s good value and maybe even your wine dinners, $190/head seems steep but let’s see about that. Thank you Anthony for anticipating our needs and the owner stopping to spend time felt special.

I’ve eaten here many times & do recommend it as a decent option for food & service usually. Tonight’s visit was just a coffee & desert add on after having dinner elsewhere - it was meant to be a quick stop in. But unfortunately it spoiled the night for us. My husband ordered a flat white, I ordered the Mandarin desert, in the photo, & my brother ordered an Affogato, but wanted it with the Pistachio gelato. My husband’s coffee arrived in a flash, but half an hour later & we were still waiting for the rest of our order. Not a word from the waiting staff, & when food started being served to our friend who had ordered separately much later than us, I asked twice about our orders. The waitress who had told us earlier it was her 1st day offered an empty “it’s coming”. Finally our orders arrived. Mine was yum, thank goodness! But my brother, just got gelato, with no coffee. So after waiting 45 minutes, with no proactive customer management to explain the delay, he had to ask the waitress who he’d ordered from, for the coffee part of the Affogato. I don’t quite know what got lost in translation, but when she asked what he wanted & he said, “well, what I should have got with my Affogato”, she got upset with my him & told him off for being rude! He was not being rude. He was frustrated & stating a fact. She was out of line & certainly not professional in handling the situation. It seemed she was upset to the point of being teary which made my brother upset because of course he did not intend that. So, a word to the owner if you read this - your staff need better training! We were left waiting for way too long with no clue what was going on with our order. I had to seek it out, & still got no information. And when customers are frustrated after having to wait so long, don’t accuse them of being rude! I don’t think she even registered how long we had been waiting - there didn’t seem to be much sense of urgency generally. There was no attempt to find out what was causing the delay or to engage with us to say it was unusually busy or whatever… the lack of experience at the front of house was obvious.

Food and wine were absolutely superb. We also had a wonderful chat with Antonio who was so knowledgeable about wine and so nice to talk to. Beautiful place for a drink or dinner. We’ll be back!

Great little wine bar. Good food and service.

I love this place. Wine selection fantastic, staff always super helpful, food is really delicious, atmosphere is familial & noise level manageable, so it is easy to chat & hear. Even though I love the wine, the Apple Martini on the menu was so good last night I had to have 2.
