I went here for the first time yesterday and I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing with a mellow vibe. I was greeted by the owner Chris when I entered and he made me feel like I wasn't just a customer but part of his family. The server Josh was just as accommodating and had my food and drinks ready within a short time. The bartender Ashley lit up the room with her personality and made my drinks as delicious as I have had in years. Looking forward to many more returns.

Small space, very cute vibes but food was also good. A little bit loud, but that is to be expected with love music. Wait staff was very attentive.

I personally didn't get food but everyone else in my family was raving about it. I really enjoyed the drinks and there was a fantastic magic show when my family and I went.

Awesome place, great food. Just their choice of draft beer wasn't anything I would get but i settled with one there, no regrets. The bar tender serves some great cocktails. Definitely will recommend for one looking for a great time with friends, also when they have a live band the music is great

Simply Fantastic My wife received a Free Lunch Certificate for 2 for 16 Prospect Wine Bar & Bistro from her job and we decided to use it today. Very nice, rustic type atmosphere, great service, reasonable prices and the food was absolutely delicious. The mussels...wow...melt in your mouth tender...cooked perfectly as was every thing we ordered.

The food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is a bit loud, if you're looking for a more quiet dining experience, this may not be the place, but i really didn't mind because the food was so good, our server was good, we had to ask for refills on our drinks a couple times, not a huge deal. Also it's a small joint, so I'd recommend a reservation. When I'm back in town, I'll definitely be back! Get the lobster risotto! Incredible

Great place for lunch or dinner. Family or business, perfect place to go. Great wine list. Timmy G is part sommelier part bartender. My favorite is the Chicken Focaccia sandwich. The personal pizza is great too. Catch some live music most nights.

One of our favorite places in town! Super cozy little spot with great food and awesome music at night. Our family frequents this place often. You should definitely give them a try if you’re in the area!
