Ended up here by accident after organizing a double date to an event that took place the day before. Anyways, this was actually a much welcomed discovery.
The wait was like 15 minutes, but they have this cush couch lounge area to chill. On the particular weekend we went, there was a guitarist and vocalist (who wasn't actually that good) to keep you busy. Either way, it was a nic area to chat with friends and be comfortable while we waited.
The bruschetta here is tops, even better than Postino's. In order of my favorites Marinated Artichoke, Smoked Salmon, Traditional, and Caprese. In retrospect, I should have just ordered more of the marinated artichoke, it was just so juicy and put a bang in my mouth.
For pizza, I got something called the KRISTI...I had ordered it without bacon....but when it was brought out - I think there was extra bacon on it. So i had to send it back and waited another 15 minutes than I wanted to for my food, but hey people make mistakes no biggie. The fact that she refilled my water the second that bad boy was empty really made me forget about it. The pizza has red onions, grilled chicken, sliced jalapeños, cilantro and tomatoes.
I hear they have good happy hour so give it a shot and if you just want a nice place to hang out with friends on the weekend, this is a pretty good plcae to do just that. -

Ahi tuna tataki on the happy hour menu is delicious!
I would expect a better wine list from a wine bar, but I've realized I have to lower my standards for AZ compared to Chicago, IL.
Bottom line: I had a great time and ate delicious food with my tasty wine. -

Just there for dinner. Only waited 15 minutes or so for a table on a Saturday night. Sat outside under the heaters. Our waitress Lola was very attentive - great service. Had the bruschetta appetizers - Delicious. Main course had the special which was scallops. My husband had the ahi tuna and our friend had the spaghetti and meatballs. Scallops were cooked perfectly as was the ahi tuna. Lots of food but not too much. We all really enjoyed the food. Will be back for sure.

NIce atmosphere with lots of reasonably priced wine. I asked if there was a corkage and my hostess said no but there is a $10 discount if you take it home. So yes - there is a corkage. Had the boar chops which the server insisted should be medium or they would be bloody. Ordered medium rate - at least the cooks know what they are doing. The chops were cooked nicely. Unfortunately they were covered with a crappy bbq sauce that almost single handily destroyed the meal. Fortunately for the crappy bbq sauce there were super salty veggies. So much salt that they took the honor of destroying the dish. Too bad - chops were good.

What a little gold mine of a place. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so relaxing. The patio seating was comfortable and our server actually knew the meaning of silent service which is a rare find. Next time we will go a little later in the evening so that we can enjoy the live music as well.

This place has done it right. It has a comfortable atmosphere and yet it is entertaining and classy all at the same time. There is live music on the weekends. The happy hour special s are excellent. I am working on trying every single dish on the happy hour menu. The bruschetta is a must! They have a lot of choices on their wines too. The slice of cucumber in my water becomes the cherry on top to this wonderful place hidden in Mesa.

My wife and I went here last night with another couple at 7pm. Thankfully we had a reservation which gave us a perfect outside table. The weather was perfect and there was live music so it was great. The place looks like it gets pretty busy around dinner time so it is probably best to make a reservation if you have a larger party.
I honestly wasn't expecting this place to be as good as it was. I just didn't think a wine bar in Mesa would serve up the caliber of food this place does. Almost all the food was excellent and better than just about any wine bar/bistro place I've been to in the valley. The lamb pops appetizer were rubbed in awesomeness and were perfectly tasty. And the flat iron steak & polenta were fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly, was tender and juicy, and had a great sauce on top. The polenta was a great compliment. The homemade peach cobbler for dessert was also excellent and perfect to share.
The only thing I didn't care for was the bruschetta. It was pretty weak. Very thin slices of bread with 'eh toppings with ok flavor. I was expecting much better.
The service was very friendly but they really need more people during peak times because they clearly have too many tables to tend to.
I can't wait to return as they have many other items on the menu I would like to try. -

My friend took me to D'Vine and it was AMAZING! Best fish n chips I have had in years. The service was a fine tuned machine. Everyone in the whole place made sure that you had want you needed at the exact moment it was needed. I will definitely be adding this to my list of favorites.

Review from Noell H.
Mesa, AZ
D'Vine has become a home-away-from-home for my husband and I. We go at least once a week. We love the wine, the people, the music, the atmosphere.
At first, we went just for the wine and the atmosphere, both of which are top notch. The exposure to good wine here has ruined our wine experience at regular restaurants. The atmosphere is sophisticated and modern, while casual and comfortable.
My initial impression of the servers was that they were a bit snobby, but we continued to come for the reasons above. That has totally changed -- we LOVE the servers now. I don't know if it's because they've gotten to know us as regulars, or if they weeded out the snobby servers. Whatever happened, they're super friendly to us now.
Lesley is our favorite server and we always request her when we go. She always has a lot of information about the wines and she knows how to recommend new wines for us based on what we already like. She always picks good ones in a decent price-range (Artessa Elements is our favorite).
There is live music every single night and they have a yearly music festival and wine-tastings. They also have a wine club, which we joined. You get two free bottles of wine every month to take home. You also get 10% off the first bottle of the night when you drink there at the venue.
As for the food: we are vegan and they are quite limited when it comes to trying to eat an actual meal if you are vegetarian, let alone vegan. Here is what we eat:
1) Olives
We tell them not to add the cheese. They marinate the olives every day with rosemary. There are about 5 varieties of olives and they are always fat and firm. These are the best olives we've had anywhere, and now other olives just aren't as enjoyable. We're olive freaks, so that says something.
2) Traditional Bruscetta
This is just damn good bruscetta. That's all I have to say about it.
3) Hummus
Some of the best hummus around, in our opinion. Perfect texture and flavor. We're hummus freaks, too.
4) Squash Salad
That's probably not the full name of this salad. I don't love eating salad at restaurants, but this one is delish. Sometimes I crave it and it's always satisfying.
I think we've also special ordered pizza with no cheese (we like to have basil added), as well as pasta. -

Loved the food!!!! Seared Tuna was superb and the handmade pasta was excellent. My faience could hardly keep from licking the plate. Great wine choices, great beer choices, great staff, great atmosphere (for a romantic first date or casual drinks). Was a little pricey (but we went all out with drinks, dinner, and desert). There were quite a few reasonably priced entrees as well. We will visit this place regularly from now on.

I was a bit concerned as we walked up to this place. I mean, it was a little foofy looking for an #evfn. But I was pleasantly surprised.
While the beer selection wasn't stellar, it IS a wine bar. And from what I understand, the wine was quite good. Same goes for the food: top notch. Good enough for my wife to take our 17 year-old son and his girlfriend back the next week. That counts for something.
Sit outside if you can. The pit is great and the live entertainment is very nice. The servers really know what they are doing and will go out of their way to take care of you.Listed in: #evfn locations

I was hoping I'd be the first to review D'Vine. Why? Well, for selfish reasons, of course. I wanted to be the one to say, "Look at this spectacular place! It's a gem!" Certainly, I can say that regardless of if I'm the first review or the 150th.
What makes this place so great? Maybe it's the intimate setting they've created with dim lighting, impeccable service, the wide wine selection, the savory menu or the fact they host live music, including local bands like Ten Dollar Outfit.
Don't want to sit inside? No problem. They have a comfortable patio with misters. Simple candles adorn the tabletops.
Don't want to sit in the heat? Select a comfortable vantage point on one of their comfy couches, sit at the bar and chat with the staff (or your date, for that matter) or sit at a table for two (bar table heights available).
Another great quality of this place is the art that adds a certain flavor to the place.
I also enjoy perusing their wine selection, for they sale by the bottle, too. May I recommend the Victor Hugo or Matchbox blends.
When you need the perfect wine, red or blend for a dinner, simply stop in and ask for their preferences. Tell them what's on the menu. Whether it's lobster, chicken or pork, they'll have the perfect recommendation for you. They certainly did for me, and the wine I brought for a certain occasion last summer definitely made an impression!
The location isn't the best (yet it's not the worst, by any means) .Then again, if it were anywhere else, it would be swarming with unappreciative patrons. Instead, this is more of a treasure to people in Mesa who enjoy a relaxing, joyful night out of the house.

Tried D'Vine for lunch just days after it first opened; loved it then, love it now. It's simply, consistently a great place to eat with a vibe that's refreshingly unexpected in Mesa.
The last time I ate here, it was early evening and my friend and I decided to share salad and tapas instead of a full meal. We started with the black & bleu salad, a savory combination of Cajun-spiced beef tenderloin, bleu cheese crumbles, romaine lettuce, sliced tomato, and bacon served with their house vinaigrette.
We then sampled the to-die-for stuffed mushroom (marinated and grilled portobello stuffed with cheese, roasted garlic, red onions and bacon), the slightly pedestrian but still good sweet potato fries, and the signature salmon cakes, delicious with the lemon aioli.
If you're looking for a full dinner, I highly recommend the grilled salmon, the grilled pork tenderloin and the ahi. Craving comfort food? Pick the mac & cheese -- a little decadent but totally worth the calories!
As other reviewers have suggested, sit outside if it's not too hot. -

If you like wine paired with great food (with a focus on the wine) this is a really great spot. It's located in Mesa so it's a bit of a drive - take a designated driver. ;)
Their wine pairing dinners do not disappoint. They have brought the actual winery owner in for these events so they are very personal.
They even have a decent wine club. For $30 every month you get two bottles of wine plus some other perks/discounts.
Enjoy! Oh, and their Black and Blue Salad is to die for and perfect for low-carb people.
Cheers! -

What the hell is this place doing in Mesa?
Ok ok, I kid. I'm a believer in giving props when they are due, and Mesa scores big with this place, no question. The food was very good, and appropriately priced (a bit pricey but proportionate to the quality). Our waitress was a charming young lady who knew the wine list inside and out and took good care of us. For starters we tried the calamari (excellent, by seafood-in-the-desert standards) and the Andouille sausage corn dogs (yummy), accompanied with a uniquely prepared dipping sauce and/or mustard for each. My entree was a calorie-laden Cajun-style mac and cheese if you can picture that. And unfortunately for my gut, I ate every last scrap of it.
The music was a bit strange, but it somehow fit the occasion. I love the Beatles and heard "Michelle" at one point, but it sounded like some weird remake. Except, it still sounded like Paul McCartney's voice. My friends and I were confounded. Which is all very symbolic. Listening to Paul McCartney's voice to an unfamiliar music set is as surreal as enjoying a great dinner and a wine flight in a hip venue in... Mesa. -

One of my favorite secrets of the Valley. I had my 26th birthday here with about 10 friends and my boyfriend, and the staff was so incredibly accomodating. The staff told the musician that night that it was my birthday and yes, I was serenaded by him to "Happy Birthday." I would have normally refused, but everyone was in such good spirits that night. I've been back a few times after and each experience has been great.
The food is amazing and the wine selection is among the very best, considering we are in Arizona. The reds are probably my favorite there. Whether you are there for a celebration or just a quick drink, you'll definitely leave satisfied. -

The happy hour is great, haven't had a thing that wasn't super yummy on the menu. They also do wine tastings and their staff is really knowledgeable on wine and the menu. The spicy edamame is awesome and they make a pretty good creme brule. If you are in the area you should stop by for a nice class of wine in a laid back atmosphere.

Northeast Mesa isn't known as the hippest spot in the Valley, but the addition of D'Vine certainly takes it up the "cool" scale a notch. Critics are calling it the "most inspired" dining option in Mesa. This humble critic would have to agree.
D'Vine features minimalist decor and an all-black clad wait staff. The atmosphere is chic yet at the same time casual and warm. The mission of the owners is to make fine wines "accessible" and consequently D'Vine is no "wine snobs" zone.
Where else in Mesa can you enjoy $5 wine tasting and live acoustic music? The tasting is on Tuesdays and features different "hosts" or wine representatives each week. Sometimes they are the actual winemaker, which is really cool.
But it's the food that getting all the raves.
Lunch choices are decidedly above typical deli fare: grilled swordfish with reduction and lean hamburger stuffed with Gouda cheese. For appetizers try the tempura prawns, stuffed escargot or one of eight kids of bruschetta. Yes-- in MESA!
For dinner, D'Vines serves such unique dishes such as grilled Buffalo, Ostrich, and Wild Boar. They do of course serve tamer fare such as Seared Wild Salmon or Kobe Meatloaf.
So cool, you just might forget you're in Mesa.Listed in: Mesa revealed

Went here last night for our third visit to this place. It was really fantastic. The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing. We tried two tapas -- the scallops with corn relish, and the lamb pops with romesco. Both were perfectly cooked. I love it when I can find a place in land-locked Arizona that can cook a scallop properly!
We had entrees as well -- the salmon with risotto was incredibly comforting and delicious. I would have preferred a little more seasoning but my husband thought it was perfect. And we had the filet, which was also perfectly cooked. I like a little more sear/char on mine, but the flavor was terrific.
I am growing to really love this place. Have also tried (and loved) the edamame, the braised tacos (can't remember if they were pork or beef), the mac & cheese, and the spinach dip with lavosh crackers.
Our server, Lori, was really friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back. And I'm already thinking about the leftovers I'll be having for lunch today, yum.
Best place I've eaten in a long time. Oh! And Monday nights you get $10 off a bottle of wine.
My only negative is nit-picky and boils down to personal taste -- I'm just not fond of the live music. It's not too loud or overpowering, just a guy with a guitar the times we've been there. But the great thing is that you can find a quiet place in the restaurant or outside away from that as well. -

So I'm out visiting the cute little nephew in Mesa and his adorable parents (one of which is my really fun brother) and like any good Yelper, I check out the possible places to eat, drink and be merry while I'm there.
I say to my brother, "Hey, I really want to try this place called D'Vine". He gives me this blank stare, and then says, "How do you know that place? It's GREAT!" I tell him, his wife, and the people at D'Vine all about Yelp, since no one I met in Arizona had ever heard of it. Anyway, there are some new converts now. Turns out my brother and his wife have eaten there many times each week since it's close to their house.
As for D'Vine - it really was FABULOUS. No, seriously. The appetizers were excellent, well-priced, and executed beautifully. My brother chose the wine, but the list was pretty far-ranging.
Eating here was like eating at some of my favorite places when I go to Italy - just excellent food. They had pheasant (my brother), hanger steak (my hubby) and a hamburger that was out of this world (me and my dad). While the live music was nice, the live singing was not enjoyable and way too loud to have a conversation. I will definitely be back again and again to this place, when it's much warmer and I can be outside on the patio (away from the singing).
They have a great patio and a fire pit, which was really welcome on the cold night after Christmas.
While initially we seemed to get passed over for service, the gal who came to serve us more than made up for any gaffes by her friendliness, excellent service and overall knowledge of the food.
I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Mesa. -

This place was definitely a nice surprise. It's location is near the grocery store my friends and I always stopped at before heading to the salt river...so I was surprised that such a classy joint was located across the street.
The vibe was very nice and the atmosphere was that of pure sophistication, though I can't praise the establishment fully. Though the selection of wine was impressive, and the live music was delightful, there were almost no options for a vegetarian. There wasn't a single entree that could be made meat free and still be substantial. I ended up getting bruschetta. It was decent, though nothing memorable...and not very filling.
So vegetarians, beware! This place was not meant for us, sadly :( -

My boyfriend and I tried this little place several months ago, and it quickly became our go-to "date night" spot. The atmosphere is the perfect intimate setting for a quiet night out. We usually go on Friday nights, when they have a live musician. (You would think Friday nights would be packed, but we've never had to wait for a table.) I'm not always a fan of acoustic guitar music, but the guy they have playing is actually quite good! The chill music, combined with low lighting, create a calming, romantic mood.
Neither of us knows much about wine, so we love the fact that the waiters are so knowledgeable and able to suggest the perfect bottle for us to split. Their "wine flights" are great, too... they allow us to sample a few smaller pours of different wines without committing to a whole bottle.
We've never actually eaten any of the entrees at D'Vine. They have such a wide variety of appetizers, which are always amazing! We generally choose two or three to split. Our favorites are the spinach artichoke dip and the bruchetta. Last time, I tried a new shrimp dish, which was incredible.
If you're looking for a quiet, romantic spot for a night out with someone special, I definitely recommend D'Vine. -

Pass me some hummus! D-vine is a small wine bar in mesa, which has excellent food. I hadn't been there for a few years, so was expecting the food quality to have gone down, since they've opened up another location and that typically means the food begins to taste "Chainy". This was not the case at all, (good thing because we had terrible service). I'm going to give them somewhat of a pass on the service, because it was Saturday night and the place was packed. I'm just glad we caught the extra $44 we were charged for our wine, before we left the building. Okay, now back to the food.
We started off with a hummus tray, the pita bread was amazing! It was perfectly grilled and seasoned, I could have eaten the whole plate. For dinner, I ordered the mac- n-cheese without the pork, sub veggies. The rest of the table ordered a flat iron steak, filet, and chicken, these came out perfectly cooked and with decent portion sizes. I know this because I waited almost 10 minutes for my pasta to come out, after they had been served. When my food came out it was a bowl of pasta with more of an alfredo sauce, a little cheese crisped on top then covered in veggies (Including potatoes which was weird). It was very good, but didn't resemble a mac-n- cheese at all. I was also a little annoyed, because they charged me and extra $3 for the veggies even though I didn't get the pork. For dessert we had their prickly pear crème brulee special... omg it was amazing! I'm glad we finished the meal off strong, because the service was train wreck from beginning to end, which is the only reason D-vine is not receiving a 4, or maybe even a 5 star rating (which is very rare for me). Despite the service, we still had a nice dinner and will definitely be back. I am looking forward to getting an opportunity to update my rating and enjoying some delicious food and wine. -

I've never been disappointed at D'Vine--the waitstaff is friendly, the wine delectable and the food excellent!
My favorite go-to dish is the Scallop Salad--it's fabulous with the gruyere cheese and apples--nom, nom! I'm also a fan of the Bruschetta and the Calamari!
Go on a night when a live band is performing, the atmosphere is comfy and fun and great for a casual night out! -

For starters, this restaurant was right next door to one of my favorites: Caffe Boa. This was my birthday dinner from Chad so I decided to NOT ask to go to the neighbors establishment instead of his choice. I AM SO GLAD I DIDN'T! D'Vine was exactly that devine!
We started off with a small rundown of the specials and favorites of our waitress. She was extremely helpful in explaining her favorites. I find it helpful to ask the people who work there what is good, as they usually are spot on.
I stared off with a wine trio flight. The Rose' I found them refreshing and satisfying. I also sipped on water with cucumber, who knew it would be so refreshing (and also great to cleanse the palette). We then decided to try several appetizers or tapas. 3 different types of bruschetta: traditional (tomato, garlic, and basil), caprese (tomato, mozzarella, and basil) and brie (brie cheese, apple slices and sliced almonds) each wonderful in their own rite. Our second appetizer was the cesar salad in which we substituted the chicken with salmon.. EXCELLENT! I was pleasantly surprised at how much the taste delighted me. Our third was the stuffed mushroom. I thought it was going to be something like fried mushrooms, but it was a portabello mushroom that had Gruyère cheese, Parmesan sprinkles, red onions and was sauteed in butter and shallots. Wonderful! Fourth and last was the fruit and cheese plate. your choice of any two or four: bleu, brie, white cheddar, gruyere, gouda
havarti, robusto, or featured cheese of the day served with spiced nuts, fruit, mixed olives and crostini. Sigh..
Main course consisted of the handmade pasta (cajun alfredo) with spicy Italian sausage (Chads) and the mac and cheese. This was no ordinary mac and cheese. It was made with smoked gouda, heavy cream, smoked pork, and penne pasta. Covered in a blanket of toasted breadcrumbs, shredded cheese red onions and bacon. OMG.
Last but not least dessert. I had the granny apple pie with caramel sauce and paired with a tawny port (cannot remember the name sorry!) Chad had the chocolate mousse cake with raspberry sauce. A M A Z I N G! I mean it... this place was awesome. Live music (think John Mayer) awesome atmosphere. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. This place was excellent.
Prices were not too bad if you didnt have all the appetizers and wine I had haha.... I will return, you can count on that and I will be hungry when I go! -

I have been enjoying D'Vines since it opened. It had a rocky start, but over time their wait staff and wonderful environment has kept me coming back for more. Their menu changes often so I never get tired, but they know enough to keep the good items on the menu. I also enjoy the variety of wines they serve and that they understand everyone has a different price point .
I highly recommend the Mesa location - I love it so much I had my birthday party there last year! -

Need a quick place to relax during a super stressful work day and D'Vine delivered. We weren't super hungry... just needed to get out of the office and relax. So my friend and I shared the coconut calamari and brushetta (caprese, proscuitto, and artichoke). The food was satisfying and the toppings on the bruschetta were plentiful. It was the perfect quick bite to re-energize a person. Although good, the prices are steep and the two dishes were $20+.

LOVE THIS PLACE. My only disappointment was when they changed their menu for summer. The regular menu is delicious. I can't wait til they change it back. But this place is really great for some live music, good wine, and good food.

The main reason I am giving 3 stars tonight was the service! Not all together but our waitress as a whole was awful! She never came to our table during our dinner. We had to flag her down for a box and asked for the check right away. Then we waited forever for her to come back and run our card!! Ridiculous!! I ordered the pizza, it was my first experience. I had the margharita pizza. They girl both sides of the crust were grilled, very thin, not crunchy, very floppy. I believe they used a vodka cream sauce, not too tasty, very runny. The cheese was just so-so. The tomatoes weren't holding together well and there wasn't enough basil for my taste. It wasn't sliced well either but it didn't taste bad not together. Just not known for their pizza.

They did it again another great meal. Went last night with the girlfriend, her dad in from out of town and her grandparents. We all shared the bruschetta for an app then my gf and I split the scallop salad which was perfect and a lot of food for a split plate with us each getting two scallops loads of bacon plenty of greens. The salad had just the right amount of sauce to not over power the scallop, which was perfectly cooked.
for dinner all of us had the special which was a rib-eye filet. My girl friend and I split one, so did her grand parents and her dad had his own. All came out perfectly cooked as ordered, tender as can be. this was a different cut than the piece the other day but still wonderful and tender s well as well flavored. We subbed the green beans for the spinach which wasn't as good as normal as it was a little salty but still good. The guiness mashed potatoes were great as always. Her dad got the asparagus instead of green beans which he raved about. The split portions were plentiful and almost as big as the full portion and the lack of an up charge for splitting is great. All of us left full and when you consider it comes out to $13 per-person for a split entree of a great steak it is a smoking deal. I have to say the meat is better than some of the other places i have been recently (Don and Charlies, home cooked, Yard House)
We also had 2 bottles of wine which were good and the waiter really worked with us to understand what we were looking for and tried to recommend based on our comments on the first bottle and our previous selections (having been in several times he is beginning to recognize the gf and I) as well as keeping it at a very modest price. They even gave us a sample of the 2nd bottle for free before we ordered just to test it. The service here is top notch and they are all very personable and fun to talk to as well as attentive.
I should probably start switching up my eating a bit more but its so hard with a gem like this. Now that we found the wine club I may be here quite a bit more often.
The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is salty spinach which may be petty but I have to keep the 5 stars for perfection2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

I've been here 4 times and it is consistently good. The staff is very accomodating and the happy hour is excellent. The bruschetta is superb!
