Editorial Review for Smash Wine Bar & Bistro – by Anna Roth
In Short
Cheery spring green walls and a simple, airy decor create a neighborhood feeling in this unpretentious wine bar, where owner Dana Hannon has created an unintimidating meeting place for locals to learn about wine. Chairs at the bar are great for a lecture, while booths lining a back wall invite lingering. Snacks include in a range of gourmet goodies, including Yukon Gold tater tots and a series of cheese flights.

My wife and I are happy hour dwellers. We love them. We stumbled across Smash this last week. I had 2 martini's, I am a gin man. My wife tried the house red, very good. We stuffed ourselves on potato cakes, duck rolls, a mini-lobster tail,olives, and some savory flatbread, all of which was pretty amazing for happy hour flare. This is the best part though .......the bill $40 for all of that. The service was pretty upscale for happy hour. We appreciated though. My only complaint.....I didn't here about this sooner, and parking can be tricky in that are as well.
Pros: Food, Wine, Service
Cons: Parking, small sign

A group of 6 of us went here for Valentines Day and it was not great. After writing a not so great review on here, the owner tracked me down so say she was sorry , that they had a bad night that night and asked us to come back for a better experience. How impressive. This was a huge lesson, to at least give the restaurant a chance to make it right. Soooooooo right on, Dana at Smash Bar!! I will go back. After your efforts......you deserve a 2nd chance! I'm sure it will be great! AND IT WAS GREAT! I HAVE BEEN BACK TWICE NOW AND IT HAS BEEN FABUOLUS. EVERY RESTAURANT HAS A BAD NIGHT, I GUESS. I HAVE TAKEN 5 PEOPLE HERE NOW AND THEY ALL LOVED THE FOOD! WE WILL BE BACK!
Pros: Wine, prices, FOOD, SERVICE..even parking was easy all 3 times I have been there.
