Jardin

It was a chilly evening and we decided to stop by this newish French wine bar/café at the corner of Main and Lombardy. Of course the space isn’t newish to us as we have been going there for many years and watched its many iterations from Stonewall Cafe to now, Jardin. The food was incredible, even better than expected. Everyone there was having fun, drinking wine, eating great food with friends .. and the wait staff was great and the servers at the bar equally great. The outdoor seating was packed and everyone there was having fun also! We bought a bottle of Balthazar Cotes du Rhone & and hope to be returning to Jardin again soon…

Jardin is an absolute treasure in the heart of Richmond. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, intimate, and thoughtfully curated. The service is welcoming and attentive without being overbearing, and the staff genuinely seems to care about your experience. The food? Outstanding. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh and seasonal, and the menu offered a creative twist on familiar favorites. Whether you’re there for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a night out, the ambiance and quality make it feel special. One of the standout features of Jardin is its garden-inspired setting, lush, calming, and full of charm. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down and savor every bite. Highly recommend Jardin to anyone looking for elevated dining with a personal touch in Richmond. It’s clear a lot of love goes into everything they do.

My boyfriend and I’s first time coming + let me tell you, we’ve definitely found our spot for wine nights.This wine bar has such cute vibes! The outdoor seating area was extremely enjoyable. We split a bottle of rose, but they also have a pretty large selection of white and red options! Will be coming back to try their food/snacks!!

Welcoming 💛💛💛💛💛 Instagrammable 💛💛💛💛💛 Plated 💛💛💛💛💛 I had a fantastic time at *Jardin*! The outdoor space is lovely, and the location is perfect, offering a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. The *boquerones* were absolutely delicious—fresh and full of flavor. The cheese selection was amazing, and paired perfectly with the wine. It’s a great spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a special night out. Highly recommend it!

Several friends joined me for a birthday happy hour on the patio, and it was fantastic! We got the smoked trout, the charcuterie & cheese plate, and the ricotta with focaccia. All were delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient, and they were great at recommending wine based on preferences/flavor profiles. We will definitely be back!

Incredible experience! I love the variety of wines they have-- interesting enough to titillate the senses of a wine connoisseur but welcoming enough to folks taking their first dive into the wine world. I think it's the least pretentious wine shop around town while still holding down a wide selection of wines. The charcuterie is to die for!! They slice their meats in house and have really good quick pickles. If you get a smattering of meats and cheeses, I love that a staff member will share the names and explain each component of the plate/board, if you like. Even the greens for the salad special were amazingly fresh. The high quality, well thought-through food menu that compliments their wines reminds me that they're a sister restaurant to Grisette (same owners). The atmosphere is top notch. There's plenty of seating on the covered patio. When I first visited in cooler weather, they had space heaters outside. Note that they don't really have any tables inside to sit down-- just the standing bar in the middle of the shop, where you place your order. If you're visiting for the first time, know that you essentially enter the doors into a basement/lower level, underneath the stairs to another building. Then, you order and pop back out and up to the patio. Parking nearby can be a bit tricky; be prepared to walk a ways from your vehicle if you're driving into town. As for what wine to get, their selection is always rotating, but the dry sparkling wines are always a delight. Big fan of the Pra Soave that was recommended; it had a dry floral flavor with a little zippy fizz-- perfect patio white wine for a hot day. It was so good that I bought another bottle to go! Any white or rosé they have on the shelf in the shop, they also have cold, so you're not limited to what's on the board. Definitely recommend chatting with their knowledgeable staff members to narrow down what will best fit your palate, but also because you'll probably learn something new about wine, too! 🙂🥂 🤙

Crazy good wine by the glass list but even better bottle selection, if you like domestic stuff, probably less your scene. These folks love them some wine, ask your inner wine nerd questions. Maderia is delicious and super funky, nice to try wine from my birth year! Also RIP The bean/$1 tecate!

Excellent selection of wines and delicious fresh charcuterie boards with a beautiful outdoor patio

Jardin is a pretty great spot for a casual wine outing. Not really a place you'd go for a full meal if you're starving , though they do have some sandwiches and light bites but again if you're really hungry, you might want to eat beforehand. The atmosphere is where this place really shines to me: cozy, chill, and super inviting. It's a great spot to unwind with friends in the evening to chat and catch up. They have a solid charcuterie selection and a nice variety of wines that I can truly appreciate. If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate spot to catch up with friends over a glass Jardin is absolutely worth checking out.

We tried to go here Saturday afternoon but the porch was packed to the absolute brim, so we left and came back Sunday and had a great experience. The staff is really helpful and though they don't offer flights, they are kind enough to let you taste wines if you're not exactly sure what you want. The patio is so nice to sit on and chit chat and people watch. We had a dinner reservation after, so we only got a little snack plate. I can't remember the proper name of either item, but they were delicious -- some type of whipped cheese and strawberries, and olives in oil. Never knew olive oil could taste so good!

Jardin has such a stunning outdoor space, and the interior is so cozy. With the laws in Richmond, all the bars have food menu, and theirs looked so legit. We did only stop here for two glasses of wine before we went to dinner next door at Celladoras. At first entry - you walk through the basement, the signage isn't super clear on where to go. This is a great natural wine bar, and there's a few of them in the fan district in Richmond. I loved the cellar vibes of Jardin, and was impressed with their selection. The staff was pretty friendly, they let me try a wine before I committed, but overall got a little sense it was a tiny bit pretentious, and some hipster places sadly can be. I'm not hipster so I can feel really intimated sometimes. It was super busy on their patio but we still got seats and we enjoyed the wine (I love a patio where you can have a real glass) most had bottles, and honestly, I'm sure the weather impacts the patio experience. Ours was perfect.

Jardin is a nice place for a casual wine outing. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a ideal place to unwind with friends or enjoy a quiet evening. They offer an impressive selection of wines, and I loved the variety available. I do wish there were a few more sweet wine options on the menu, but I really appreciated that they were able to make a custom spritzer for me--it was a nice touch! The small bites were a great complement to the wine and added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a place to relax or catch up with friends, Jardin is definitely worth checking

Such a cute wine bar!! Personally, I thought the price a tad steep for a single glass of wine. However, I did thoroughly enjoy myself. The orange wine I got was delicious and their patio is adorable. It's a lovely spot for a little date or a group of friends to gather. They do offer food as well and there is indoor seating!

Jardin is the ultimate Sunday afternoon hot spot. The vibes are great outside, the wine is good, and the meat and cheese board is perfect to share while sipping on your drinks. The staff is very knowledgeable about all the food and drink options, and they will help you through ordering if you're unfamiliar with any of it. I love to come to this place solo or with a group - my book club meets here often and the space always works super well for us. Truly a great experience every time.

I came here with two friends during a weekend trip to Richmond and loved this place! We came here for a drink before dinner and sat outside at the bar under the tree and it was such a vibe. Jardin has a great outdoor space and I would definitely come here again to take advantage of that. Inside is a small wine bar with bottles you can buy to go or for here, as well as wines by the glass and some small plates. I didn't get a chance to eat here and would love to return to do so. The server at the bar was helpful with giving suggestions and I had a really nice white wine and sparking rose.

I have wanted to try this place for a long time, but held off because I thought it would be expensive. It was actually really affordable, especially if you split a bottle. The staff was so friendly and instantly had recommendations when they noticed we were a bit lost on what to try. The outdoor area is so cute and also covered, so we sat and shared a bottle in the rain. I would highly recommend the crispy potato's as a snack-- the garlic sauce that came with them was absolutely out of this world.

Good selection of wine with great ambiance and small plates. Staff has great recommendations, especially if you are interested in trying something different!

I love this cute spot on Main!! Such a great location. Large wine selection and a changing menu for apps. You order at a counter inside and get a number. They bring out the food and you get the wine at the counter if I remember correctly. The ricotta was super creamy and the strawberries with honey balanced out the salty. They served fresh bread that came out warm. They brought out mustard and more bread to go with the meats. This was a perfect amount to snack on with my two friends. We got a bottle of white and shared it on the patio. You may have a wait on the weekends in the afternoon/early evening if it's nice out!

The feeling of drinking wine at friend's home, I loved it! Overall the ambiance is inviting and warm with the patio area being prime location! The bar area and small seating area is also comfortable. I wish that they offered some tasting of the wines by the glass. Maybe it was an option but it was not offered to us. The food was excellent we got the chefs charcuterie board and it was a good amount of high end meats and cheeses as well as the whipped ricotta dish that was also very good! I will for sure be back to try more food as well!

Jardin is absolutely the spot for good wine and good vibes if the weather is nice! Their patio is intimate and adorable yet roomy enough to avoid feeling crowded. Everyone that works there is super friendly & gives approachable wine recommendations. & 2/2 times I've been recently, the charcuterie plate was wonderful.

Jardin is Richmond's dreamy European backyard. If you're looking to escape to something picturesque, this is the place for you. Their underground wine cellar is absolutely stunning. You first need to enter through their gorgeous patio. You'll go down a few stairs and come upon this charming bar with wine bottles all along the walls. Jardin has one of the best wine bar organization systems in Richmond. You'll get to explore a variety types of wine. The people who work here are extremely kind and knowledgeable. They can help you find whatever fits your palate. This is my ultimate spot for a girls night. There is nothing better than grabbing a bottle of wine ($10 corkage fee here) and sharing it with the girls. Cute outfits are optional (but highly encouraged by me). It's an amazing spot for a cool summer evening or spring/fall day. It can get busier on weekends/really nice weather days, but you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a seat. You order everything you want inside (including food). You'll get your drink at the register, but take a plant (their versions of numbers) for them to bring out when your food is ready. They offer small plates here. I've tried the new potato bravas (potatoes cooked to perfection, just a bit too oniony for me personally) and the Marcona almonds (a bit too oily for me). They have gender neutral restrooms here. I cannot recommend Jardin enough. It's a fantastic spot to bring friends to or go on a date. They have quality wine, a wonderful atmosphere, and fantastic people.

A great spot to catch up with some friends, especially if the patio is open. I'm not a wine drinker so wine places are always a bit overwhelming for me. The employee was super helpful and provided suggestions based on my preferences (light, fruity). We got a cheese plate. We weren't familiar with the cheeses listed so we asked the employee to select mild cheeses and they did a great job. We ran out of crackers and were able to get more with no questions asked. I really appreciated the welcoming and accommodating service!

Great experience, sat at the bar the staff was friendly and attentive. The wine and meat cheese board was exceptional. My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. Will return soon.

Jardin is a great spot to hang out with friends and share a glass of wine! The selection of wines is vast. Our favorite time to go is Thursday evening when Junction City Farm has a produce stand among the tables on the patio! We bought some AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS cherry tomatoes and ate them while sipping our wine. Such a refreshing combo!

Food is amazing! Megan was very welcoming and recommended a perfect wine to go with my sandwich. I love the outdoor seating and I'll be back soon!

I wouldn't classify this is a wine bar so much as it is a wine store that you can stand inside and drink or grab a seat outside to enjoy a glass or bottle. I loved the outdoor area as I felt like I was at a cafe in Paris. The service was great as was the wine.

Absolutely special! The indoor and outdoor spaces is charming. Good wine and a stellar charcuterie board. Highly recommend.

Don't go here if you're looking for service. This is a self-service establishment. Everything must be ordered at the counter. If it is busy, as it was on my visit, that means a five to 10-minute wait in a long line while my companion sits outside, alone. Order wine? Wait. Order something to eat? Another wait. Order another glass of wine? Yet another wait. Go back to ask for more bread? Still another wait. Ready to go and want to pay? Final wait. This is ridiculous. I came to enjoy wine, food, and conversation. Not to wait again, and again, and again. And again and again. Somewhere between 25 and 50 minutes of total standing in line time. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that all of the information about the offerings is at the one, lone register, so customers necessarily hold up the line while they peruse the menu and ask questions. All while my companion is waiting by herself. We didn't come here to wait. If we ever get the idea that we want to go somewhere to wait, we'll certainly come back because this place is great for that. FINAL THOUGHT: I tipped $10.00 on an $88.00 tab. I'd typically tip double that amount because I know real people depend on tips. And I know that these real people are not the owners and this self-service-wait-in-line-business is an ownership issue. But I was so incensed by the disregard for customers that I couldn't bring myself to leave that much. Sorry guys, but have a chat with the owner.

Jardin is a wine lovers dream. If you are looking for a place to just chill with a bottle of wine and escape from the hustle and bustle of the world then Jardin is the place for you. Jardin is a wine bar that has an array of wines from around the world. All of the employees are very knowledgeable and friendly and do a great job with pairing you with the right bottle of wine. I'm a rose' and Chardonnay drinker, but lately since visiting Jardin I've been dipping my toes in the reds pond. They offer small plates and tapas. Of course they have charcuterie and an array of exotic meats and cheeses! They also have a pretty decent grilled cheese made with Brie and onion jam! They have limited seating at the bar indoors, but they have an amazing patio outdoors that is perfect for fall, spring, or summer.

A true delight! Came here to say on a date while visiting from out of town. Would definitely go back! The ambiance was perfect both inside and out, memorably awesome food, and of course a great selection of wines and sparkling at various price points. We loved it!

This place is wonderful! I'm old enough to remember when it was a loud VCU beer-soaked hangout--but it's been transformed into a beautiful, quiet place with indoor & outdoor seating, and excellent selections of wine & food. Highly recommended. One of my fav places now.

My friend and I were walking downtown and decided to stop in Jardin for a glass of wine. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by staff who explained the process and provided recommendations. We got a bottle of rose and a charcuterie board and headed to the patio. It was a beautiful day and their outdoor patio is perfect, it's filled with flowers and many tables to choose from. We took a seat a few moment later staff brought out our board and we enjoyed our wine and cheese. It was a good experience and I will definitely be returning.

We met a friend at this fantastic little wine bar in Richmond and had a blast! We went down stairs to select our wines and to compose our charcuterie board which was delivered to us on the outdoor patio. We told the bartender what we prefer in wines: red, full bodied and dry and were offered a sample which was spot on. The charcuterie plate was quite generous with Jamon iberico, prosciutto and three cheeses, each more delicious than the next. Everything was complemented by various pickles and a white wine forward Dijon mustard. At mid afternoon the place was packed and for good reason. What a lovely, civilized way to spend an afternoon.

Jardin is the newest wine bar to join The Fan complete with a garden space. You can sip Chardonnay with a cheese plate and your closest friends then buy a second bottle to go! I came in their first week and they were already up and running and pretty popular. Their wine by the glass was very reasonably priced and so were their cheese and charcuterie. They also sell pressed sandwiches that I would really love to try. Their market for to go bottles is set up well to help even the Novice wine drinker find the perfect bottle.

Ok are you ready to be WOWed??????? The space any rva millennial knows fondly or not so fondly as Baja ... is now been completely transformed into a WINE BAR!!!! A fresh smelling, gorgeous renovated space that offers a coffee house feels but with an amazing wine selection and gorgeous cheeses, charcuterie and snacks options! The service is lovely and you can tell they have a lot of pride in their product! From the minute you walk in you are completely taken to a friendly and inviting wine cellar bar. I know what you're thinking .... " what about the bathrooms" this bathroom they have provided as a gender neutral bathroom is amazing!!!!!!!! Doors that latch, soap dispensers that work and CLEAN!!!! Like I would let my mom pee here! Lol it is a FAR cry from the bathrooms we all experienced at some point. In all seriousness the garden area to the inside bar area provide a lovely background and setting for a lovely wine date or casual wine gathering. I cannot say enough about this place! I've already been back twice! The wine selection is organized into relatable categories that the staff is more then happy to help you navigate! The price point are very appropriate and I can't wait to work my way through more of them! Thank you Jardin for taking such an amazing space and putting your energy into its transformation! Can't wait to spend alot more time here!

Best place in Richmond to sit out on a patio and drink wine. Great wine list, snack menu, and interesting bottles to bring home.

Three glasses of wine, one can of European Starkist, 2 pieces of cheese, one cup of cucumber salad= $75. Not including tip. Sorry, the decor is quite nice, and if it's not freezing or stifling, the outdoor seating is good, but this place is a ripoff, food-wise. I would like to give it mor the the sticker shock is too much, after seeing our food portions and presentation. I mean, if a place is going to charge $13 for a CAN of tuna, they can at least take it out of the can and place it around some substantial Crudités. But, no, they serve the "tin" swimming in its oil. And the cheese plate wasn't much better, very small with the quince mixed in the mustard. And the service was very slow, to boot. One and done.

My boyfriend and I found Jardin our last night on vacation in Richmond and had the most enjoyable time! We had a little trouble finding the entrance in the dark (not through the patio; underneath the stairs off W Main St) but felt the good vibes immediately after sitting down. The staff was so personable, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to get to know us that we felt right at home. Their wine selection, in my opinion as a wine enthusiast, was a perfect balance of uniqueness, curation, and variety. I really appreciate they don't have pages and pages of options like some other wine bars that can be overwhelming but still covered many flavor profiles. My bf and I drank a few reds, and I had one varietal I had never tried before and loved. You can get wine by the glass, or buy & drink any of the bottles in their shop section which shares the same bar space. One of their goals is to make wine more accessible and casual and that really shows! For snackies, we devoured a delicious three-cheese plate which came with so many hand-picked accoutrements they source locally and/or make in-house. Also got the Marcona almonds - so simple yet so yummy. Very reasonably priced for the quality. We chose not to sit on the patio since it was a little chilly for us, but it looked like such a cute spot that we'll for sure take advantage of in warmer weather. I could not recommend this place more and honestly can't wait to go back!

We've been twice and both times were great relaxing experiences. We love the wine selection and menu, which was different both times we went. It's also great that you are able to take home a couple bottles when you go. We love visiting.

Great place for some bites and a drink when the weather is nice! They have some indoor seating but it's mostly patio seating, even in cooler weather still worth a visit.

I stumbled upon Jardin on their opening night, but I didn't feel it was fair to review them then. On my second visit, I was happy to find that many of the issues I noticed on my first visit were entirely resolved. Jardin is a cute little wine shop with an attached patio for enjoying a glass of wine (they have about eight or nine by the glass options) or sharing a bottle from their ample selection inside (beware, there is a $10 corkage fee). They have an assortment of cheese and meats, as well as a few sandwiches and soups. A group of three of us split a charcuterie board with two kinds of cheese and two types of meat, and it was just the right amount! I will definitely be back! Though, I anticipate that it will be a very popular spot in the coming months as it starts to warm up.

Outdoor seating mostly, glasses of wine start at $11. The snacks are good and come with good toasted bread and crackers/ cute intelligent staff. Happy I stumbled upon this place in the fan.

Great price point for buying bottles. I still think a 10 dollar corkage fee for a bottle you've just bought at the spot is too high, but still lower than Celladora where it's $15 -- which is too much. Food is mostly small bites which is fine. Everything we've tried was good. I love how large the outdoor area is, but I think they could use a redesign out there. The bar from the previous restaurant is still in the middle of the space and takes up too much room. Service is pretty kind and helpful if you need a recommendation. Definitely happy to have another option for outdoor seating in Richmond because we are severely lacking!

Excellent dining experience. Enjoyed the charcuterie and the ambiance of the patio. Extensive wine selection. We will definitely go again.

Came here to catch up with a friend and we were some of the first few guests as Jardin just opened at the beginning of the year (2022). It apparently used to be a club catered to the undergrad population but now has transformed into this indoor/outdoor wine bar space. The wines can be ordered by the glass or bottle and they offer a diverse food menu as well. The only issue we had was it was FREEZING in January when we went and there were only 4 heat lamps outside on the patio, though it probably needed 6-8 given the square footage. We managed, but almost did not! Will definitely return.

3.5 stars. It's like a coffee shop, but with wine. Nothing spectacular. They have very limited indoor seating with only a couple barstools and standing room only. They do have a nice outdoor patio that will sure be popular once the weather gets warmer. Most of the wines they offer are of a very good variety including wines from Italy, Spain, etc. They don't tell you until you get to the front, but there is a $10 "cork fee" added on along with a "bottle/glass tax" when you check out.

I have attended two wine tastings here this year and my experience was lackluster with both. Primarily, it was because I felt a bit ripped off. I have been to many wine tastings at various wineries and vineyards all over Virginia as well as all over the country. I would say I know what to expect from a wine tasting. I'd like to have enough wine to really get a good gauge of the flavor and taste to see if it's something I'd like a full glass of or even a bottle. At Jardin, the wine tastings costs $20 pp plus tax. The Camporeale Sicilian Wine Tasting consisted of tasting 4 different wines. We were seated inside, which was tight, but it was sort of misty/rainy out so they decided to squeeze us all in there. The pours were literally a splash more than what I'd get for free at a Total Wine tasting. I'm saying, I didn't get enough taste of the wines to make me want to stay and have more and also, it irked me that I could have bought two bottles of the wines were tasting for what I paid for a taste of four wines that accumulated to maybe one glass of wine. Not the best value and none of these wines were expensive varietals to rationalize the stingy pours. I gave them two tries and we decided we won't return.

We had a great experience at Jardin. The wine was a little pricey but with a healthy pour. We had delicious charcuterie and the bread was just baked. The service was on point! The teamwork of the staff was impressive. We will definitely go back for the meatball sandwich.

First time coming to Jardin and you wait in a line to order but there was no menu to browse until you get to order- the menu online was not the same as at the bar. The wines were great and the person ringing me up knew about them which was nice. I ordered a $6 manchego and $6.5 meat which comes with bread and crackers, as well as some slivers of fish with oil ($14). Was unsure why it took about an hour to get the one slice of manchego, four slices of meat, smear of spicy mustard, smear or jam, and some pickled onions. Thankfully I am not a fast drinker. I work at a winery where we reheat frozen baguettes for 9 minutes and it takes one minute to cut and we will sell a block of manchego for $10, a pack of 20 slices salami for $10, and a baguette for $8. They come to you within at least 10 minutes. This was not a good use of time or money. I ended up going home and opening a bottle of wine and making my own cheese plate with the same amenities within 5 minutes.

I went here a couple of weeks ago, and they were so new that they didn't have Yelp yet! But I had heard about them via several Insta sites I follow, so I was excited to check them out. This is a super cute space, and I loved walking down a few steps to get to the wine bar. It feels extra-cozy. They also have a great outdoor space that will be super nice when it warms up a bit, although they do have heaters out there for those who want to brave the cold. The wait staff was super helpful with making recommendations about types of wine to try, and they had a lot of great choices. I had a red akin to a Pinot noir, and it was delicious. I didn't have any food, but their charcuterie boards looked AMAZING. I'm definitely trying that the next time I go.

I have been to Jardin twice and have enjoyed both visits. Opened by the owners of Grisette, an incredible French restaurant in Church Hill, Jardin has the same welcoming vibes and impressive wine list. There is bar seating inside and ample patio seating with heaters outside. When you purchase a bottle, you can pay a corkage fee to enjoy it there, or buy a couple bottles to take home! If you don't want to purchase a bottle, you can also order wine by the glass. There are snacks to enjoy as well, including sandwiches, charcuterie, and soups. All of the food I have tasted has been delicious. The staff is helpful and will offer suggestions if you are unsure on what bottle to buy. I have not had a bad glass of wine yet!

Excellent local wine bar with outdoor seating. The wine shop organizes its wines in an unpretentious fashion, encouraging you to buy, open, and enjoy on its outside patio. Nicely priced so the $10 corkage fee seems absolutely reasonable. Like its mothership, Grisette, Jardin boasts a beautiful cheese/charcuterie plate. Order one with your bottle (which can come pre-chilled to make a July afternoon more enjoyable) and select a table in the shade under a ceiling fan. What a great way to spend an afternoon!

My girlfriend and I stumbled across Jardín last weekend while visiting Boho-To-Go and had a terrific time. Jardín has one of the best patios in The Fan and an amazing wine selection to enjoy either in their space or to take home. Their friendly, knowledgeable staff gave us great suggestions on what to drink and they were certainly all on point. This is our new go-to spot for the warm months ahead!

Beware the price tag! The vibes are great, but they will catch you with a slick trick. They charge you $10 extra dollars to uncork the wine bottle you already bought from them. They have a little discreet sign that says this but if you are not paying attention it will catch you off guard. Also, don't stay on the carpet when you are drinking wine. The manager will come by and tell you to "GET OFF" as if you didn't belong there.

Nice boutique space price is ok, the seating out side was ok other than the field mice running around probably won't be going back after that site. Wife was not happy.

Great vibes, knowledgeable staff, kickass options. Love the way the wines are sorted by "vibe" (for the Office lovers, "Andrew Bernard's Garden Party") rather than stuffy designations. Makes it accessible for newbies. Yeah, there's a $10 corkage fee for popping bottles in house instead of taking out....but it's literally a wine bar, what do you expect? Get a glass instead or take your bottle to go if you don't like it. Everything's reasonably priced and there are options matter your budget. Anyways, love Jardin 10/10, favorite place to get day drunk on a patio on a gorgeous day.

I was excited to try Jardin for lunch last Friday, but it was a huge disappointment. There was nobody in the place when we arrived. We ordered our sandwiches from the not very appealing menu and headed outside. It was a lovely day to enjoy the patio which, unfortunately, has not much ambiance. We waited 40 minutes for our orders - 2 small pressed focaccia sandwiches with nothing else on the plate. Not particularly appealing, they didn't taste much better. Mine was sopressata and ham drowned in some kind of mayonaise sauce. My partner's tasted better - serrano ham and cheese. I thought it poor for a wine bar to serve only one rose by the glass at this time of year. And a mediocre one at that. In short, this place has medicore to poor food and is very expensive ($12 and $14 forour sandwiches). I'm afraid I won't be back.
