Takeout
Destination wine bar for curated charcuterie, oysters, and expert guidance; superb hospitality historically led by named servers, but recent concept shift to deli-style service has created inconsistency.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Cheese Meet Wine delivers exceptional food quality and outstanding wine expertise that justify a solid grade B performance. However, inconsistent execution following recent concept changes and staff turnover prevents a higher grade, while multiple recent reports of deli-style shifts and service decline suggest the restaurant is in transition. Strong when service clicks, but reliability concerns limit its standing among the area's premier wine bars.
Restaurant Summary
Inside Encore, the room feels warm and bustling with curated boards and clinking stems. Guests rave about knowledgeable servers who tailor tastings to your palate. Expect thoughtful pairings when service clicks. The cooking leans elevated traditional more than experimental: beautifully sourced cheeses and meats, oysters, and a comforting fondue, plus crowd-pleasing grilled cheeses and an Italian sandwich. The culinary approach leans contemporary and produce-driven: premium ingredients, careful curation, minimal theatrics. Families can make it work thanks to familiar sandwiches like classic or truffle grilled cheese and soups such as chowder or bisque. While it is a wine-forward venue, kids who prefer simple flavors will find accessible choices. Portions are shareable; just know the vibe trends adult and resort-focused.
