The unbaked basil cheesecake has been a long time favourite since Winebar opened. Every now and again we take it off the menu to make room for something new but equally delicious! Try our unbaked passionfruit cheesecake with pine nut crumble and blueberry coulee! #winebarkensington #yycliving

My girlfriend and I had our first date here. And, well, we're still together one year later. So I decided to have our 1 year anniversary date at you guessed it: Wine Bar.



The staff was very accommodating from the time I called to ask that they reserve the specific table we had our first date (they don't take reservations and made an exception), to the point where they kept a bouquet of flowers in the back. They were all awesome.



Dinner was fantastic. We had a cheese board, homemade chips with dill dip, short rib, and pork belly. Everything was delicious. I'm a single malt fan so I had a scotch (solid selection) and the lady had wine.



Allison (hope I spelled her name properly) was our server, and the same server we had for our first date (she remembered us). Outstanding service, very friendly, we were happy to see her again. She let the kitchen staff know it was our anniversary and the chefs put together a nice dessert for us which Brendan hand delivered.



Very memorable experience. This is a great spot for a first date or dinner and drinks; a real Calgary gem. The quality is great and it won't break the bank. Thanks to the Wine Bar staff for making our first date, and first anniversary memorable. We'll be back soon.
