This place is an ideal restaurant for a nice evening. The entire food and drink menu is well designed and easy to follow. The dinner and appetizers menus have a wide range of options, from vegetarian, to seafood, to a variety of meat dishes. It can be tough to come by such a wide range of great dietary options on a single menu. Their spring 2022 menu is fantastic, we loved the chicken and radicchio. The wine selection is fantastic and I love that they offer a variety of pour-sizes so you can easily try several types of wine. Our server, Lauren, was really fun and helpful. We will definitely be bringing friends here!

Excellent date night experience at Uvae and fully mean experience! Server was well informed of wine offerings, pairing with dishes and ensured our dishes were timed properly as to not feel rushed with our evening. We ordered wine to start the evening and even though we only ordered a glasses they brought the bottles to us at the table to taste before getting to choose between a 3/6/9oz pour which with their extensive wine menu offerings was a nice touch and really made me feel less pressured about ordering. Great ambiance and atmosphere for a date, business function or fun night out. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent food, ambiance and service

I had a great experience there on my birthday. Our waiter was entirely kind and attentive, and they gave us glasses of champagne to celebrate! We especially loved the brussels sprouts and the mushroom pasta. We learned that you really only need 4 of the tasting plates - we split a burger in addition to that and it turned out to be a little too much food (but we stuffed ourselves anyway because everything was delicious.) Lovely atmosphere too!

Best place in andersonville to grab a glass of wine after a day of running errands! With happy hours specials it's a perfect treat at the end of the day! The fromagerie and wine shop next door is also adorable!!!

Sunday afternoon, happy hour, yay!! NOT. Serious disappointment. Well drink liquor, top shelf price $$, crazy. Wish I had a pic of the "shrimp cocktail" I ordered, hilarious, one tiny shrimp on a bowl of ice. I know it was only $2 but seriously? Make it $5 and throw three on there, but they should at least be medium sized. If I were paying for laughs that alone would've been worth it. Ordered half dozen oysters, one drier and less appealing than the next. I asked the server what liquor was in the drink, she told me, some Acme brand, she did offer another liquor but, my policy, never return food or drink at restaurants I'm unfamiliar with. It was a simple drink with cheap booze and I was charged specialty price, I didn't feel special. I often give benefit of the doubt to establishments with our new normal. But, I am unable to forgive the quality of food and liquor for the prices charged. They should have been embarrassed. The atmosphere was nice. Maybe it was an off day? I will never know.

The mezcal cocktail was really good but the flat bread starter smelled amazing. Service and ambiance was nice as well.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty dishes. We tried the Beef Wellington and it was delicious. We came for the happy hour treats and stayed for dinner.

Absolutely everything - especially the wine dinners.

?Food was outstanding, and so was the service! First time there and I highly recommend it! I'm a bit of a food snob too.
