Food: Food: an insipid disappointment
At Wine Lab, the dishes can either blow your mind or leave you high and dry. Their cheese platter and brie flatbread are phenomenal, capturing a range of complex flavors and textures that are a true delight. Yet, the savory and sweet charcuterie plate is a stark contrast, with its mediocre and nondescript taste. Reviews have consistently pointed out the extreme variance in memorable dishes, finding the food to sometimes lack flavor and creativity, even at a high price point.
