Twisted Vine

Twisted Vine is one of my friends' go-to wine bars in the area, and I could see why. Great ambiance, selection of wine and light bites, and customer service. Tim and Scott, the sommeliers, were so friendly and hospitable. We went to Twisted Vine around 8pm on a Monday night. The place felt like walking into a wine cellar. From what I could tell, customers were there for date night, a quiet space to work, and a night cap (hence, why we were there). I had a nice riesling, which was juicy and sweet. This was an awesome pairing to the dessert we shared at the table, which was the waffle sundae. The waffle sundae was fantastic by the way. I loved that they use a liege waffle instead of a Brussels style waffle.

Every once in a while I patronize a place where I feel at home, a restaurant or bar where I think "this is my kind of place". Such is how I felt when I visited Twisted Vine.I walked in and immediately loved the brick walls, the dark wood tables and bar, and shelves of wine along the walls. I was immediately greeted and told to sit wherever I wanted by Scott, who really made me feel welcome. Aside from his friendliness, customers sitting near me were also super friendly, asking if it was my first time there and offering recommendations on wines and food. From the red wine portion of the menu I chose a glass of "M", a cabernet sauvignon from Paso Robles which was absolutely delicious. After looking over the list of tempting bites, I ordered a plate of chorizo & potato empanadas. They came as a set of three and were filled with chorizo, potato, Provolone cheese, and cilantro. They were fantastic and had plenty of chorizo, not overstuffed with potato. It was a Monday night so I watched some football on a silent big screen on the wall and decided on another glass of wine, this time "Head High" which is a pinot noir from Sonoma. I'm normally not crazy for pinot noirs, which confounds me as to why I ordered it, but this is one of the best ones I've tried; I really liked it.This is a place I will definitely come visit again. If I lived in the area this might be a weekly hangout for me but, since I live quite a distance away, I'll still stop by whenever I can.

Great food, great wine, great service! We walked in on a Saturday night & were seated right away. The ambiance is dark & cozy. We ordered my new favorite wine - 2022 Stolpman - "La Cuadrilla" - Ballard Canyon, Ca Concentrated yet light on its feet with bright acidity, dusty tannins and a long, spicy finish. Blend of 75% Syrah,15%Granache and 10% Sangiovese.With a side of olives and their famous baked Brie bowl. Must get the bread bowl. Perfect combo with the wine.

Been here so many times and love the good, the vibes and the service. We gotten the smash burger, the cheese board, the Brie, the empanada, the pizza. It's all amazing!!! The wines are all amazing and well balanced.

I love Twisted Vine! I come here pretty regularly but last visited on a Saturday night around 8 PM. The wine bar wasn't too busy and we got seated quickly. Just note that there are only high top tables inside! We ordered 2 glasses of wine each and got the half charcuterie board and the green chile empanadas. Both were really tasty and felt very high quality. All the servers are very attentive and friendly which adds to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot and I'll continue to come back!

Twisted Vibe is a true gem located in downtown Fullerton. This wine lounge is my favorite, and I've been coming here for years, so this review is long overdue. If you're looking for a place to sit back, relax, and enjoy good company, this is the spot for you. You'll always discover new wines to try, along with tasty appetizers that perfectly complement the wine. The atmosphere is outstanding, and the staff is incredibly welcoming..

Cute spot right in the heart of downtown Fullerton! There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The ambiance is great- I enjoyed the patio seating outside. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered the white wine flights and a charcuterie board as well. There is an option to get the smaller board for less meats/cheeses, but we opted for the full size. The wine was excellent. Loved the options and the healthy pours in each glass. I'd definitely come back for another girl's day!

The entrance is in the back and the front. This confused me lol From the parking lot you can walk right up without having to walk around to the front of the building. I went in through the back and wound up sitting at the bar. This restaurant isn't very big and does get noisy. Service was good. The servers do a good job of tending to customers, even when it gets busy. I came here for the food to be honest lol I didn't drink any alcohol. I ordered the pesto pasta and the apple salad. The pesto pasta was underwhelming. The sauce was too watery. But the dish did have good flavor. I loved the apple salad! It was fresh and tasty.

Love love love this place!It's a hidden gem in Downtown Fullerton. Lots of regulars hanging out with friends or families. Really chill vibe with friendly staff, plenty of seating areas, great food and superb wine. All of these at prices that won't break your wallet. Come on down and check this place out. Come curious and you'll be hooked. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but you'll be pleasantly surprised once you step in. It's kinda stumbling upon a secret bar and wonder why you didn't discover this place sooner.In addition to the high top tables in the main dining area and across the bar, there are also plenty of tables out back in the semi outdoor patio leading to the parking lot.Food wise everything we've tried is delicately delicious. It's comforting and also inventive at the same time.The baked brie is a good portion that can easily be shared with a group of 4 people. Melted Brie cheese baked into a sourdough bowl and served with toasted sourdough bites and fresh apple slices for dipping.PRO TIP: Have it with diced Spanish chorizo (for a couple of bucks more)The Caprese, which is Mozzarella and grape tomato skewers with basil and drizzled with balsamic reduction, pairs really well with the wine.PRO TIP: Have it with Soppressata Salami (for a couple of bucks more)The tomato bisque soup is oh so good and one of the best out there. PRO TIP: You can order this by itself (not on the menu) as it normally comes as a side for the grilled cheese panini.Location is also a plus as there are many other places nearby to hangout all around quaint downtown Fullerton.Easy parking either on the street or at one of the many lots around DTF.Note: this is a 21 and over establishment so leave the kids with the sitter and enjoy a nice date night out in the town!

This was the worst and most insane dining experience l I've ever had lol. After 2 drinks the server brings someone over saying they no longer will be serving my mom, bf and I. We had a drink lol. We can't stop laughing at the experience now but the staff here are horrible human beings and food was mediocre. Sadly was recommended by friends and would never recommend a soul to come back here. We thought she was joking but no this place is delusional. Also your food isn't good but we love the bar next door thanks!
