Vin Sur Vingt Wine Bar - Upper West Side

It is a small and very elegant place with a parisian chic in the heart on the UWS.Its a real French wine bar with a big variety of French wines 🍷 it is clear they know their business. You could find mostly bottles but also some glasses.A good selection of food to accompany the wine like cheese, charcuterie, salads and sea food. Good music and very good vibes.

Nice small appetisers. Good happy hour until 6 pm , 10$ for a glass of rose, white, and red

Service was extremely prompt but not very helpful - definitely not the place to learn about what youre drinking! The wine list is extensive but so many of the wines on it werent available. Additionally, theyve stopped doing flights, something they should change on the menu.

My favorite wine place in NYC. Nice spot with French vibes, very competent and kind staff. Also the food is good. A bit expensive,but definitely worth it

Mass has great hospitalityJune 2024 update great place to celebrate Bastille Day on July 14th🇫🇷🗽

This place is a gem. It has a total European vibe in that you can enjoy a bottle of wine and shared plates without feeling rushed. It’s small but charming and the food is amazing. It can get a bit loud, but that in no way, takes away from the experience. The service is fantastic. This is wonderful for an intimate date night since the small tables allow you to be close. The small tables are also why I recommend ordering food one by one. The wine selection is vast and the staff are well versed in the world of wine. The escargot is a must try. Even if snails are not your thing. Sit, have a glass or bottle of wine and enjoy this upper west side jewel. They do not take reservations but this spot is well worth any wait time.

I don’t make my way to the Upper West Side often, but when I do, it’s because of places like Vin Sur Vingt. Quaint and sophisticated environment, attentive and lovely staff, elegant and delicious food. This French wine bar nails it. The escargot is super flavorful and comes out piping hot. Perfect spot to celebrate intimate special occasions.

I m a waiter ..thats is not the right attitude ...for that price point!maybe for a market service..but not for a 300 dollars winbe tasting.never again

I was fairly disappointed, sadly.The menu had a lot of choices but they didn’t actually have a fair number of them — making it a guessing game where you’d ask for something on the menu and they wouldn’t have it, so you’d ask for something else and they wouldn’t have it, and so you’d try one more time and… yep, wouldn’t have it. Finally we asked them to tell us what they did have and he came back with a more expensive bottle for which he wasn’t quite sure the price. Frustrating way to order.So in frustration I just almost-randomly ordered a $15 glass — which was on the cheaper side but still a fair amount of money. It was awful. I literally had a tastier glass of wine in a plastic cup at my kid’s preschool art show an hour later. This wine was so thin, so flavorless, and had so much of a benzene flavor (for lack of a better word) that I almost asked if they’d let it sit out overnight.People rave about this place, and I hope this was just an aberration — but, wow, was I disappointed. I had one glass and called it a night, because it just wasn’t worth having a second. Really unfortunate, because it seems like it should be an awesome place.In response to the reply… To the extent that they’re implying that wine should taste like it was left out overnight because it’s organic, I’ve had plenty of organic wines and they are not supposed to taste like that. It was bad. Nor was it that the wine lacked sugar — which is an odd sort of thing to say, to be frank. It was that the wine tasted stale and “hot” like benzene. My wife — a professional chef who’s cooked in some of the best kitchens in the world and knows wine very well — likewise thought it was undrinkable. This wasn’t an “I didn’t like it” situation. They either screwed something up (storage, etc.) or just served a really terrible wine. It was objectively bad.The reply frankly makes me think less of this place — because serving a bad glass of wine from time to time happens, but if your response is to basically claim that it wasn’t bad it was just “organic…” well, that tells me they’ll serve more bad glasses, and won’t ever fix what went wrong.

Great neighborhood wine bar, I’ve been to the one in the UWS, WV, and Nomad and the staff is always friendly and helpful in choosing a wine. Very approachable place to go whether you know your wines or can’t tell a white from a red.

Best wine bar I’ve been to thus far. Everything is absolutely exceptional. Shoutout Thomas and the crew for warmly welcoming us to the neighborhood.

Lovely wine list and cheese and charcuterie plate! Lots of great wine options and very cute outdoor cafe seating, definitely a Parisian vibe. Cheeses were great! Shrimp was also tasty.

I enjoyed this place, I went extremely late around 10:47pm. The kitchen was closing so ordering food had to be done immediately.I ordered the SOUPEÀ LOIGNON (I’ve never had French onion soup before and ALWAYS have wanted to try it) it was ABSOLUTELY amazing!In addition, I also tried Tarte Flambee De Potrion, it was tasty but wasn’t what I expected at all. I wouldn’t order it again. My friend ordered the Escargot, I wouldn’t have a clue if those were delicious or not. Not really into eating snails BUT to each his own. LolThe glass of wine I decided on was the Alsace Kuentz-Bas Riesling Cuvee Tradition. I’m a Riesling type of girl, I’ve also noticed these days that finding Riesling is a rarity but maybe not at a wine bar so that brought me joy.I would definitely return mostly because of the classy atmosphere it was really cute. 7.5/10

I absolutely love this wine bar. The service is great and the people working there were so kind and always made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The wine bar to go to on the upper west side!

The service was not stellar. Ordered cheese and wine, they forgot about the cheese (quite literally forgot -- they brought the plates and utensils but somehow not the cheese itself).They were nice about it and tried to fix it though, by offering another round of tastings. Which I guess was nice?The wine was good, but did not quite feel like 16$ a glass. :|Cheese plate with three cheeses (20$) was rather modest in size and fairly simple in the way it was served.The Four Horsemen in WB was a more pleasant place to visit.I might give Vin Sur Vingt another try but only because every single article online says it is an amazing place.

Charming French wine bar tucked away. Fun buzzing atmosphere and great service. We were there during happy hour and they have a selection of four wines available by the glass for $10. We tried three of the four and and they were all winners. The waiter was liberal with pouring us healthy portions and gave us all a minor refill on the house (after our second round).Escargot! Delicious. Ratatouille! Yum! Cheese order seemed a little overpriced but it’s New York.

Nice place to grab a glass of wine. They are able to open the restaurant up so there is a nice breeze and fresh air. Friendly staff. Prices a little high in my opinion. Overall nice place for an afternoon wine break!

Great wine, great appetizers. The girl running was amazing, the flight choices were delicious. One thing that impressed me the most was she cleaned the windows in between customers. Awesome! Yes, clean glass doors says alot...

Go-to neighbor wine bar/bistro tucked away right off the main street, perfect for dates, friends get-together, or solo night caps. The ambiance is always mellow and cozy and it’s never too loud or rowdy. The wine selection is well curated, with great house wines and happy hour. Warm and cold bites are available for sharing.

Good wine, good atmosphere, servers are super friendly but a bit slow. Didnt eat there but the food smelled amazing.

Cute little cafe with a wide variety of wines and other drinks plus some great food- mostly small plate types but agood variety. A nice place for lunch or dinner or just an evening drink and/or dessert.

Delightful taste of Paris in the Upper West Side. Friendly and competent service. Nice wine list. The by-the-glass reds were nothing to write home about, but the white seemed pretty good.

Sweet little neighborhood spot -- really represents the charm of the Upper West Side. Great French wine, good French food (small plates like cheeses and pâté) with a lovely view of quaint brownstones. Unassuming and comfortable. Do try it.

A perfect place for a date or a relaxing break. The staff is friendly, the wines are well curated and the menu has multiple complementary offerings that make time pass quickly in Vin Sur Vingts cozy. dimply lit space.

Glorious spot on UWS. The meats, especially the rillette, are to die for. Fantastic genuinely French operation with efficient and professional service. Oh, and the wines are of course fine as well. Quite a selection across all price classes.

Lovely spot. Solid wine list. List. Didnt try any food. Still lovely atmosphere to have an after-show drink.

Great staff and wine selection. Terrace is a gem

At a socially-distanced table outside on a gorgeous Wednesday night in July, we had delightful bottle of house rose at 1/2 price, the tuna tartare and salade forestiere.All were just right. It almost felt normal. Thanks for that.

Amazing service and ambience! The food was incredible!!! ❤️ totally recommend

Staff is the best part of this establishment. Wines are always being subbed in and out so you’ll never run out of unique options. Go for happy hour!

Small and cute wine bar. Worth the trip for the limited but delicious menu and the great people inside.

Great service and selection. Wish I remember the waiters name he was very nice and made it an amazing evening

Excellent neighborhood wine bar with an interesting, extensive wine list and great tapas style food offerings. The steak tartare and the chicken mousse are incredibly seasoned and executed to perfection. Tried the chicken salad and was impressed by the flavor in the chicken and the simple dressing it came with. The service is intermittent but not neglectful.

Located on a quiet street on the UWS, this little restaurant offers a variety of wonderful dishes, a great selection of wine and a delightful, friendly staff.

My preferred UWS wine bar location

Great little wine bar. Small plates pair well. Large list of wines by the glass. Somewhat small, but worth a wait.

100/10 stars for wine, food, ambiance, and service.

A delightful place. You’ll forget your in Manhattan and think you’re in Paris while you enjoy a glass or 7 ;)

Amazing wine bar! My friend left her ID here. I need help getting it back as soon as possible!

The menu was a little underwhelming. This spot is best for getting a glass of wine with some hors-doeuvres. The mousse de foie was excellent. The croque-monsieur was good, but had too many slices of ham. Excellent service.

Great wine list and tasty snacks.

Great ambiance, knowledgeable staff. Tasty cassoulet and tardtines, solid wine list, not huge but well curated

This might be my favorite “secret” spot in ny at the moment. I walked by one day and saw the vibes were immaculate so went back a few weeks later and it did not disappoint. Excellent wine and delicious salmon ratatouille. The team is great and very French, as in the staff speaks French so it’s quite authentic and you feel like perhaps you could be in Paris. The outside seating is perfect and very calming.One tiny suggestion/ the melon au jambon was awkwardly in a little bowl. I’m used to Italian style where it’s spread out on a large plate and easier to grab so we felt that was a bit awkward.

Great vibe. Friendly staff. There for happy hour. Really lovely wine.

Great wine, fair prices. Tasty and unpretentious

Best NYC wine bar, they have a great wines selection and the prices are completely fair.

Decent wine. I think their biologic/natural wines are great. Really enjoyed the Riesling.

Great selection of wine. Cozy spot on W 84th Street.

Friendly staff, good food, great wine .. what more can one ask for? :)

Great little bar. Good wine. Good food. Cant complain

Gotta say, I love this bar.The vibes are great, friendly staff, and a great variety of wines!If you go there during happy hours, they give good prices for the drinks.I enjoyed my time here with my pals that we stayed until they closed.Time went so fast, and it is just a perfect place to go if you want to have a good time!

Went here on Wednesday night. Great warm ambience that works well as a quaint neighbour date spot. Wine was good. Food was okay. Salman tartare resembled a coleslaw which was an odd interpretation of a tartare. Duck confit was lovely. What diminished the experience was our server who was cold and made us feel unwelcome. Especially seeing how differently other tables were treated. We have some guesses on why, but hope it was a one off incident not in line with their institutional values

Intimate wine bar. Liked their 25% off bottles after 10pm.

Delightful place. Wonderful ambiance. Excellent wine and generous pours.

Great atmosphere, great wine selection and solid food.

Excellent service and place! Good if you want to try wines from all around France 🇫🇷

Perfect, curated wine by the glass selection. Great service.

Adorable french bistro, fabulous food and delicious wine selection.

Great place to go for a glass/bottle of wine, a small plate and chat with friends or couple.

The quintessential neighborhood wine bar with right balance of ambience, wine selection, hot food options and service quality.

Good wine with very nice selection

Great wine choices, great menu items.

Great service, atmosphere and wine. Salad nicoise was solid as well

Such an amazing experience coming here! I had a group of 7 people, which is quite a large group for a spot like this one. They don’t take reservations so I was worried we would have to wait a long time but the server was so incredibly nice! We didn’t wait long at all, they accommodated us almost right away, and we sat as more chairs and tables became available. The selection of wines is extensive and the charcuterie and cheese boards were delicious! The vibes are cozy and delightful!

Such a fun place! Amazing wine and food and the service is amazing! Highly recommend! We had the pate de companie with cheese which was delicious! Great wine recommendations and a lot of options.

Always a solid seasonal menu with excellent wine options.

Awesome little spot with fantastic service!

Such a great vibe! Waiter was great!

Great ambiance, huge wine selection, not too big

Fantastic spot for after work drink - but tiny space so arrive early

Favorite neighborhood spot. We visit most Sundays and love the laid back atmosphere. You can sit and have a glass of wine, or order food, but never any pressure to rush. Its located on a side street, a bit distanced from the traffic on Columbus. Perfect place to relax, especially on a nice day!

Love this place! Great wine list and good service. Feels like a slice of Paris dropped in Manhattan.

First class French bistro on the UWS! Staff is super kind and sweet, definitely going the extra mile! I love this place, I’m semi-regular here and highly recommend to anyone to try!

FYI Happy hour prices / glass applies to only 2 options! Service was friendly, place was packed on a Thursday afternoon. Overall too pricey for the value cuz it’s UWS, what else is new?

My favorite place on the UWS. Can’t beat their wines and fun vibe 🍷

Cozy and neighborhoody place. Food menu is limited to tapas and cold cuts as this place focus on wine. The selection of wine is pretty large and the staff is super friendly. This is a must go if you wanna drink some wine and chill. It’s small, so It can be a little loud in the evening, but that’s exactly the vibe of small traditional French wine bars :)

UPDATE (in response to the owner):We gave you the benefit of the doubt and went this past Saturday. NONE of the items you mentioned were on the menu. Please advise. Thank you.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Weve been living on Riverside Blvd for almost 5 years and Vin Sur Vingt has always been our go to. We LOVE it! Tonight we found out that the menu has been changed: all the vegetarian/easy to make vegan options have been removed. No more tartine with avocado or the tartine with tomatoes. Not even a salad! The salad was to die for! The 4 of us had to go to Cipriani. We are seriously hoping and pleading that whomever manages Vin Sur Vingt on Riverside Blvd comes to their senses and goes back to the original menu, which was perfect for every type of diet and palate. Please and thank you :)

Great atmosphere. Good food, professional staff

Your go-to for wine bar in this neighborhood.

Always a great wine/chese/charcuterie list

Awesome small French wine bar. Great happy hour prices, and a vast selection of wines. Cozy interior seating and a large outdoor seating area.

Quite easily the best wine bar in UWS

Every detail is done perfectly here. The cheese and charcuterie is some of the best I have had anywhere. The vibe is dark and sublime.

Super friendly and good wine selection.

Lovely wines and food. Extreme courteous and professional staff. Wonderful spot!

A cozy and quaint local French restaurant with 10/10 dishes, romantic ambience, very reasonable prices, and friendly and professional service. Go for the chocolate cake to cap off a memorable evening out in the Upper West Side. Thank you and will be back soon!!

Absolutely outstanding! Great wines and French food. Sublime service! Another romantic hide-a-way in the Big City!

Lets be honest. The place has a ring of genuine wine bar about it and the food is quite good although not incredible or amazing. However, It is small and noisy and the prices are just not worth the experience. There are better places around and you don;t get the feeling that the customer is the important thing.

Took us 45 minutes to get the check. Missed my event.

Super cute little wine bar off the main drag. Great wine selection and yummy small bites. Great atmosphere - wine is a little pricey but NYC! Great evening.

Excellent is the word here. Service was prefect. The food delicious. The French wine selection amazing. Ive never been to France but Id imagine its as delightful as lounging at the Vin Sur Vingt. I hope this wine bar is here to stay! Cheers.

Always a great glass of wine (I’m a novice at ordering but they always steer me in the right direction). Had food for the first time today and the mushroom tartine was delish. Support small businesses and check it out!

A hidden gem. Like sitting in Paris but next to a Citi bike stand

Our new favorite place!! Amazing food, unbelievable wines, and great personable staff!! We love you guys!!

Nice, intimate place. No TV, which is nice. Good selection of wines.

The ambience and service could be better but the wine and cheese 🧀🍯is delicious. Try the smoked salmon tartine and the Rose 🇳🇱🥂is a must have! It’s a charming wine bar right in one of the best NYC hoods 🌇

The wines we had were nice. They do not check vaccine cards for indoor dining which is required by law.

Small, intimate, cozy. Knowledgable, friendly staff.

Pretty space with delicious appetizers, charcuterie, and cheeses. Great wine selection, but prices are elevated for drinks overall. You can construct a solid meal here though.

Poor quality wine list. For a french place this is not a good sign. Its all standard french options but a lot of the wines are just uninteresting or downright bad. The prices for everything are extremely high which would be one thing is this place was on the same level as the good wine bars of new york but its not.

I didnt love it! Ive been to the one downtown and liked it better. The waiters on 84th seemed casual to the point of rudeness, and the steak tartare was brownish and drenched in liquid -- awful to say, but it reminded me a lot of canned cat food to look at. (It tasted somewhat better, but not great.)

Incredible French wine selection and amazing food to go with it. Best part of all is the staff, they know their wine and are always fun and pleasant.

Great atmosphere! Wonderful selection of French wines. Pricey for the area, but great!

Great food and the waiter Dider is a gem.

Pleasant and delish beautiful vibe beautiful service.it was our 2nd time and will be back

Lucas is Great. Excellent wine and food. Be sure to get the duck pate.

Very cool small wine bar chain all over the city...great Happy Hour specials.

Immense wine selection. Delicious cheeses. Salmon tartine hits the spot; steak tartare could be better. Service is friendly and solicitous.

Great service, excellent champagne by the glass and good small plate foods. Very convivial atmosphere on a late summer evening.

Nice spot, tucked away. Excellent service and selection of french wines.

Cozy place for great wine and good food. The service is a little off but not horrible.

Terrific neighborhood bar for drinks or light bite.

Love this place! Great atmosphere and service !!

Cozy, pleasant, nice small plates, with nice staff.

A little loud and cramped inside, but we loved our food, wine and service

Great wine selection and French apps. Good service.

Great location on side street and fantastic wine selection.

Two flights á three whites- muscadet, sancerre(sauvignon blanc) , macon(chardonnay), chenin blanc, Rhône white(viognier+rousanne) & Alsace riesling🙌🏼Paired with three cheeses.Great

Nice atmosphere, wine selection and quality needs some work

Great wine selection by the glass & food was amazing!! Try the goat cheese tartine :))

Great wine selection but poor service.

Good choice of wine, good food, but service is poor

Love big and I mean a lot of choices to pick (drinks!!!!)

They refused to serve me because I was only ordering food. I am taken aback because normally their service is wonderful. I think this was a new guy?

Amazing wine selection. Food selection could use some non-pork options though.

Best winebar in upper west !!!

Fine service good wine selection

Was good

Just cozy

Ehh... Nothing to write home about. Substandard welcoming experience.

Friendly staff and offered great suggestions of wine

Very expensive. Ended up leaving before making an order

Great place to stop for wine and conversation...

Great local wine bar.

Best wine bar in the neighborhood.

Wait staff is great

Great beef tartare!

Good spot to to hang....

Our favorite neighborhood spot!

Half price rose bottles 👌

Fun spot!

No toilet, great service

Quaint & cozy great for date

Good wine selection

Love the atmosphere and the wine

Awesome

Great afternoon!(

Great vibe and wine

Cute place for a drink

A very nice place with a great selection of wines and cheeses. The atmosphere is very romantic ☺️.

It was my first time at a local wine bar, so I was confused while looking at the menu, but was able to order a glass of wine and brie cheese tartine thanks to the friendly recommendation of the staff. The taste and price were both pretty good considering the prices in New York, and I was very satisfied with the clean restroom inside!!!!!!!!
