Melanie Wine Bar - Wine bar in Los Angeles - 8310 W 3rd St, USA

Went to Melanie for a drink and app. The decor is adorable. The staff is very knowledgeable about their wines. We had a charcuterie board- was delicious. Looking forward to having actual dinner. Looks like they have Happy Hour from 4-5.

We came to this place because we found out that they had the best burger in LA. Not only do they have the best burger, but they also have a wonderful wine list and a great menu. We ordered the grilled octopus which was amazing. We had the burger and it was phenomenal. I had the risotto. It was refreshing and not too heavy. We had an Amarone wine at 50% off since we came on a Monday night. The only reason why I’m giving it four stars is because the price on the menu for the Amerone looks like $100 but it’s actually $190. It’s the most expensive wine they have on the menu. For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake. This place has wonderful wine, food and service. I highly recommend it.

What a cool spot. This place seems to run like a well oiled machine. We were sat almost immediately and service was fast and attentive. The food was better than expected (we came for the wine) - everything we ordered was delicious and tasted fresh. The wine was great too and there were many options to choose from. Thanks, will definitely be back!

Don't let the menu listing a Tater Tot deceive you into thinking about anything else other than you're on 3rd Street in Beverly Grove. This discerning restaurant has a focal point for wines and serves an excellent atmosphere to grab a glass and some small bites to accompany. The menu does include some entree items, but the list is modest. Otherwise, this casualness to dining is an excellent alternative and choice. Right from the start the service is excellent. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic with little pretentiousness. Like any good wine-focused restaurant/bar, the wine list will change. The staff is knowledgeable, and the list gears toward drinkable wines from various regions to offer folks a good variety. Just don't expect to be all-encompassing. The pours seem to be on the mark, and not so deep. On the other hand, the pricing is steeper and a bit higher on the mark for the bottles they are pouring.

Ok… can I just say thank you??!!! What a great restaurant and wine bar! Unpretentious yet beautifully curated food and wine! Sophie handles the restaurant perfectly and has a great taste for the wine on the menu. Ask her for guidance… and you will be pleasantly impressed!!! Great job!!!

I really love this place. Great wine, great good, great location. But the service has really suffered recently. Not sure if it’s because it’s getting busier or they’re trying to save and not hire enough staff but it’s so hard to get attention to order and you wait forever for just a glass of wine to come. Disappointing. They also told us, a party of 3, that we could only have 3 tastes of wine per table, which feels pretty unreasonable for a wine bar, when you’re trying to decide what you want and try different things. We also spent almost $400 so we’re not just trying to take advantage.

Exceptional food. Service could be improved a tad more to make it 5 star.

Excellent wine bar. I already knew the beverage director from another now-defunct restaurant, and the menu was written by a chef friend and the kitchen executed it perfectly. The wine that was proposed was delicious, and my entree, crab fettuccine in lobster broth, was extraordinarily good.
