The Downing Bottles & Bites

Great atmosphere, great vibe, even greater people!Came here during the farmers market and Halloweekened events! The place is a lot bigger than expected and the hostess was fun to talk to, witty and expressive (I love love loveee people w character)! The bartender, didn't catch her name but she had dark hair and blue eyes. She was a sweetheart and gave phenomenal drink and food recommendations. I ended up listening to everything she said to get and got it. I'm not easily influenced however everything she liked, I loved and was already planning on getting. Guess great minds do think alike!We had the seared tuna, it was sweet yet savory. Every bite down to the ponzu was incredibly satisfying and mouth watering. My man had the muffeleta. He devoured it and the Sicilian salad I chowed down on. I love anything salad with peppercini's. The kitchen is quaint and the cooks, from what I can tell, put great love into their foods. Or what I call, art on a plate! Overall service was a 5/5, food 5/5, ambiance 5/5. Can't wait to come back!Also they have great HH and a wide variety of wines to choose from and FABULOUS cocktails. I had the pear gimlet and also a fig ginger spice. Both fantastically curated. My man had beers.

Great attentive accurate serving staff. Sorry bro I didn't get your name but admired your tats Excellent, fresh, hot food. Great cocktails too. Nice patio

Had the el jefe Cuban sandwich. If you're looking for a perfectly American sized portion of a meal this is the one. Crispified to perfection with every bite. Salad on side, olives in it were delicious and firm and so were the pepperoncinis. So pleasantly surprised by this meal

This was such a cute and cozy yet classy place all while being a total vibe. The ambiance was like a refreshing mix of a wine bar and a cafe with delicious food, great service, and good toons! Honestly, perfect date night or get together place. If you're local don't let this gem go unvisted !

We often stop in at the Downing for a bottle of wine and a quick bite. Their wine menu is extensive and their food options are quite unique. Their hummus dip is our favorite appetizer and we follow it up with the risotto for an entree. They even serve brunch! The staff are very friendly and quick to find you a spot even on busy nights. We love bringing friends to this industrial space that is as unique as its food.

Great prices, & friendly service! When we went, they had turn out of the HH wine, but our server offered us a replacement bottle at the same price! How accommodating!

The Downing Bottles & Bites never disappoints.My friends & I love to go for long lunches and wonderful wines. Their wines are personally tasted & curated by wife, Jenni & delicious bites & entrée's are superbly cooked by husband, David. My favorites are Baked Brie, El Jefe Cubano sandwich & Shrimp & Grits. Pictured here is the brie app. Great warm atmosphere & thoughtful service.

You know it's delicious when you crave the chili even when it's hot outside! The bread in the grilled cheese was perfect and the chili has the perfect balance of heat! Always a good time here !

Incredible food and wine collection! The staff and the owners are so kind and attentive. The restaurant is so cute and has family photos throughout! I love everything about this little family owned spot. Support local!!!

David's steak hash is amazing on a rainy day like this and Robert and Caelum took service to another level today!
