I went for a wine tasting with a very close friend, and we were both really impressed by the hospitality and the wines. Vanessa was incredibly kind and warm, guiding us through the tasting and tailoring it to our taste preferences. The whole experience was fantastic. My friend is a real wine enthusiast, and having the chance to chat with someone as knowledgeable as Vanessa made it even more special. We didn’t get the chance to try the food this time, but we definitely will next time. Highly recommend! ✨🙌🏼

Booked a lunch, and from the moment we entered the building, everything was on point. Service was excellent: welcoming and informative. The food was delicious, and we had a relaxing long lunch. Great view into Treasury gardens.

A dining experience that felt like being personally welcomed into a story of food and wine. From the moment we walked in, the team at Winesmith made us feel genuinely cared for. Although not everything on the tasting menu fit our dietary needs, our waitress Morgane went above and beyond to make sure we felt both safe and welcome. She offered thoughtful adjustments—swapping mushrooms for artichokes—and checked in just the right amount, always kind but never intrusive. The food itself was outstanding: every plate looked like something from a Michelin-star restaurant—vibrant colors, delicate plating, and flavors that felt fresh and completely new to us. And then there was Baltazar, the sommelier, who truly stole the show. Each wine came with its own story—told with such passion that you could almost taste his personal connection to it. He even poured us a few extra samples simply because he was so excited to share them. The staff’s kindness carried through the whole evening—they even offered to move us to a quieter corner when we arrived, and at the end, surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake “on the house.” Every small gesture made the night memorable. Winesmith isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a story told through people who love what they do.

I hosted a private lunch at Vine Smith on Saturday. Everything was exceptional. The atmosphere, service, and food were all first class. The staff went out of their way to ensure every detail was perfect. People were also raving about the locally curated wine list. This is absolutely my favourite restaurant and wine bar in the city right now and I think a big part of that is due to the team. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you again Yuhan, Vanessa, Richard and the Vine Smith team.

What a lovely restaurant in every respect. Everything works here in lovely harmony - the food, the space and the service. Our friends and us thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. The two amuse bouche to start were absolutely delicious and a lot of fun. Every dish in my meal was excellent too. A beautiful duck terrine as entree, succulent rack of lamb for main and a delicious poached pear for dessert. Every dish was beautifully presented - they looked wonderful - and were feasts for their eyes. They have a nice wine list here and we chose a couple of lovely local bottles from Blue Pyrenees. We were most struck by how beautifully presented the restaurant is. This is how to do a restaurant renovation! The place is very stylish outside and inside. It’s superbly designed and really lovely to dine in. We were lucky enough to get a table by the window and had a delightful view of the life in Spring Street and the gorgeous park across the road. Finally, I must highlight how good the service is here. We were mainly served by Leo who is outstanding at his job. Always pleasant, always helpful and informative and Ala ways interesting, Leo really helped to make our experience so extremely pleasant here. This is an excellent restaurant in every respect. Thank you for the experience and we look forward to our next visit
