In Short
This wine bar's name is more of a play on its upstairs location than an indication of its mood. The tension typical of tight Manhattan is nonexistent in the lofty room, where gauzy ivory drapes frame a floor-to-ceiling window, and the sleek, modern aesthetic is far from severe. The mellowness extends to the all-budget boutique winery list--and the patrons, mostly in their 30s, are even free to take down bottles from the bar's striking 100-foot wall of wine and bring them to their tables.

My family and I dined at Wined Up and had a terrific meal that appealed to all members of the family. My daughter was quick to point out that the desserts were amazing, with her particular favorite being the chocolate fondue. My son enjoyed sampling from a variety of the appetizers, particularly favoring a delicious pizza with caramelized onions and goat cheese. My wife and I loved the vast wine selection displayed very creatively with grapevine lattice work supporting glass shelves spanning an entire wall. The staff was courteous and accommodating and we throughly enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend it. We'll be back.

I've lived and worked in Italy over several years so I get food for wine and wine for food. On a recent Thursday night at Wined Up I started at the bar where the bartender expertly guided me through the wines by the glass selection. (It's extensive and has a broad offering of tastes and prices) We then moved to a table in the packed dining area. I wasn't even aware that you can order from a 'dinner menu' but the server told us about the specials and the off the list wine pairings. It seems like their chef makes his food to go with the wine. Being that we were a bunch of people we were able to order a lot of dishes and try different wines with those dishes. Some standouts were a mackarel dish, a lobster salad with lychees, a scallop dish, and a flatiron sirloin. Some wines we drank, a Spanish Sauvignon, a Teroldego (never heard of it), an Argentine Malbec blend, and a Chilean cab. All around $50 or so. The specials are average prices nothing ridiculous considering the quality. Service was pretty good and there was particular care given to pairing the wines with our food. Really cool vibe, and cool decor. Apparently there's a champagne tasting brunch on the weekends. The place must look great when it's full of sun as there are two huge sky lights. I'll be back!

I have been coming here since this place opened, the prices were great and servers very helpful. We went here the other night and had such a disappointing experience. The bottles had all gone up in price at least $10 per bottle, so that there were only a couple of bottles under $40. When we asked our (extremely pretentious) waiter to recommend a bottle in the $30 range, he told us that wines in that price range were all "sugar bombs" - I'm sorry, when did a $38 bottle of wine become cheap? The menu prices have all gone up too, we were charged higher prices than they had on their menus as well. This place used to stand out for its great prices and nice waiters......too bad. I won't be going back again.
