Shambles Wine Bar Review

Outstanding service, cocktails and food. The mushrooms small plate were so good and the wagyu cooked to perfection. Looking forward to going back.

The only poor review you will see about this place is someone complaining about a service fee. Honestly after visiting this place I wanted to give them more than 15 percent the servers was comforting to make you feel at home and the food was an experience. I wish I would have asked more questions over the phone but that just leaves room for a second trip :)

Addition to previous review I think this place should consider mailing their aged beef and cheese plates, this place has killer meat and cheese pairings and if they could share it with the area through ups and ice blocks I think this place would really expand quickly.

Fantastic bar and food! The bartenders are true artists, and great to chat with, and will make drinks for you on the spot. Theyre very technically skilled, and I have no doubt they can make whatever drink you're looking for. The first time I came here I was enamored with the draft list, which is also expansive and exciting.

The food really speaks for itself, I haven't had a single item that wasn't great, with above average ingredients, execution, and presentation. Overall I love this spot and my only regret is that I live far away from it.

One of the best new places in Seattle we've been to and I think they're only going to get better now that things are settling down and they can bring back their people.

Meat experts, but also good with all the other little things that have nothing to do with meat.

Thank you for a memorable birthday!

A good food and good hospitality.

We went there for a lunch. A beautiful presentation, great taste and friendly service.
Other day I ordered special cut for pork belly, their butcher is very helpful. I searched this special cut for a few other local butcher shops in Seattle. Other shops responded "no, we don't do that one."
The Shambles responded my request quickly, they asked what is for and they helped preparing the pork belly so that I just seasoned it and I was able to cook without hassles.
I wold love to go back for dinning in again for other menu I haven't tried yet.

We had a delicious lunch with a friend. The smashed potatoes are a must have! It was inviting, comfortable, and a very enjoyable experience. They name the tables and we sat at 'Norma'. Brian was an excellent server (attentive without being intrusive)! Thank you!

This review is for the business practices.

The menu makes an attempt at disclosing a 15% service charge, and that most of it is shared with staff. Alright, that s cool, weeds out bad tippers.

I couldn t get a reservation today, as they were booked all evening. No problem. I got takeout. And yet, I was charged the 15% service charge. Not to be overly semantic, but then THAT amount is taxed (astute readers will know that ACTUAL services are not subject to sales tax).

If I m not eating in, there s no service being provided. Period. If you think you need to raise prices, that s fine. But don t tell me that it s a service charge (for what, again?) and then when I don t get the service (in that I m not eating there), perhaps maybe not charging for a thing I didn t get would be the way to go.

This place has been on my list for a while, and I was not disappointed. Everything was good quality and had extremely unique flavor combinations. I could really taste the effort and care that went into making each dish. I even watched them clip fresh herbs to go on my salad from the garden out back. Good food paired with the great service, I will be back again. The heirloom tomato salad and smoked Italian beef sandwich were amazing.

Superior in all facets! The meat and cheese tray was superb along with the Dragon's Wrath beer. The wife and I were super excited to find the "holy grail" that is ... STEAK TARTARE. Truly a wonderful experience and a highlight to an awesome Friday afternoon. Shout out to Dillon and the whole staff!!
I highly recommend and cannot wait to go again.

Their meat case is great, all of the steaks I ve had and cooked at home have been delicious and tender. Their menu is super diverse and changes constantly so I m always looking forward to what they ll have next. The sausage sandwich is perfect. Their bartenders are very knowledgeable though the drinks are a little too complex for my taste.
