In Short – This is a peaceful alternative to playing the Warehouse District game. The drink prices aren't any more expensive than at the nearby clubs, and in the summertime, there are few better places to chill than on the patio. The European vibe runs thick inside this turn-of-the-century building, but you can just as easily visit the rolling hills of Napa Valley or the Australian Outback, thanks to a wine list that covers the globe. Wines are served by the bottle, along with 80 imported. There also are domestic beers and seasonal tapas.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Wine flight samplers are three-ounce tastes of different vintages, designed to educate and enhance. Traditionally, when tasting, one is to sip and spit ... but who would want to do that?

Excellent

by CathySW

We had our holiday party for work at D'Vine this year and it was spectacular! The staff was very helpful in planning the event (relatively small, approx. 23 people) and gave great service that evening (a Tuesday in late December). The food was really delicious and the wine selection is hard to beat. We used the little room off to the side which was very cozy and perfect for a group our size, still had enough room to move around. I highly recommend D'Vine for any small social gathering or just to stop in and have a great glass of wine. Nice selection of appetisers too. Enjoy~

WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

by dipc1974

My wife and I visited Cleveland for the first time last weekend and walked in to D'Vine for dinner. It was 8:00 on a Saturday night and we sat out on the patio. Dawn came over to us and was very personable and friendly. We were very impressed with the wine and beer selection and LOVED the flights menu! My wife got the "Award-Winning Whites" flight and I started with a Paulaner Hefeweizen. We then ordered the Calamari, the Trio of Dips and the Bruschetta. All three plates were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! No salt or pepper needed on the table at all! We then talked briefly with another server, Scott, and realized that everyone at D'Vine worked together to make sure that the guests came FIRST. My wife has, and I do, work in the restaurant business and we were both VERY pleased with this dining experience. We asked to speak to the manager, Tracy, so we could thank her and her staff for everything. I'm not sure when I'll be returning to Cleveland, but I DO know where I will eat as soon as I get there!

  • Pros: Perfect place for a relaxed, romantic dinner!
  • Cons: Absolutely none!

Terrific Ladies Night!

by Natstarr

Great specials for ladies every Thursday from 4:00 till 8:00. A great selection of half price wines, beers and cocktails as well as half price menu items. The baked brie is sinful! I always appreciate the service staff and their accomodating nature. If you have not been to D'Vine it is a must visit for any of their happy hour specials or for a great night out with the girls!

  • Pros: Patio
  • Cons: None

A best for Cleveland but clearly not the best.

by riskdoctor

We have been living in Cleveland for a few months after spending a lot of time in Europe and tried D'Vine for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised by the extensive wine menu. The flights we ordered were very well thought out. I had a flight of Cabs and my guest had a flight of sparkling whites. Each of the flights gave a wide range of what each wine type had to offer. The flight of cabs had a mixture of berry, prune, tannic, etc. My guest is not a fan of reds and even she marveled at the fact that her unititiated nose could discern the difference. On the down side, two of the "sparkling wines" were brought to the table flat. The waiter quickly corrected it explaining that the sparklings sometimes are flat. (I did wonder, since he returned so quickly, if the fizz was regenerated by a bit of sugar or if they actually opened two new bottles).

We also had a pizza (hand formed and backed to perfection) and "tapas." (I am including quotes because these dishes bear little resemblance to the tapas of Spain). The "tapas" were large and filling. Not to be missed is the baked macaroni with lobster.

For desert we ordered the choclate pizza which was fun and a moscato with a bit of the smell of a musty cork. I was very disappointed in the moscato.

Given the effort the owners have made this establishment have a European flair I was a bit disappointed with the service. The waiter was chatty and spent way too much time at our table. He brought the "sparkling wines" without sparkle. And in addition, and I may be spoiled by European service, the check was brought to our table before we asked for it and even worse, before we were finished with our food and drinks.

  • Pros: extensive wine list, a sommelier who seems to know wine
  • Cons: rushed service, flat sparkling wine
