What People Are Saying About Nectar Wine Bar @ Harlem Vintage

In Short – This swank Harlem wine bar features about a dozen tables and a large rectangular bar where patrons can sit back and enjoy an array of hand-picked wines and small plates. Each item on the menu comes with a full description--like one wine, which is said to have a "deceptively delicate texture, with layers of strawberries and roses"--and foods are listed with wine-pairing suggestions. If that's not enough, the knowledgeable and friendly staff is always willing to point you to the right taste, glass or bottle of vino. – – Hits: Music is loud but not too loud, the…

If you are looking for a wine tasting experience or want a glass after a long day, Nectar provides the perfect atmosphere. I now want something like this in the Bronx!

The Experience
by twzhr
Once entered and sat at the bar, no welcoming. Male bar staff was rude, poor attitude, who harassed us for a tip.
The panini's were burnt and brought out with expectancy for us to eat. Now this male bar staff stood and watched us as we complained about the food being burned. The panini's were returned to the kitchen and then another male comes from the kitchen with hat tilted to the side with a negative disposition. Now this male is confronting other staff about who and why the food was sent back. We sit there expecting the panini's to be prepared the right way. However, menus were tossed on bar and we were told to order some cheese or something because there were no more panini's. OK, so now we just go with the chicken meatballs that were served COLD!!
We received the bill and only paid the bill. NO TIP WAS GIVEN!
This was supposed to be a NICE girls' night out in the city...never again to the wine bar!
- Pros: The red wine was FANTABULOUS!
- Cons: service, food, and attitude

Great spot!
by BlueSkySmiles
I am loving Nectar! It's a great spot for a drink with the girls or a drink with my man. I enjoy the atmosphere, which is chic but not overdone. There is enough space to kick back a little yet the overall vibe is really fun. I'm learning to love wine and I enjoy the selections at Nectar. When I am feeling adventurous, the wait staff gives me suggestions which has really helped to expand my wine pallet. Also, the servings are robust and are poured table side, so you really feel like you are getting a good portion and a nice experience for your money. I've sampled the food as well, which is tasty and nicely presented. Last time I was there I had the chicken meatballs, which had a nice spicy flavor and paired well with the various red wines on the menu. Overall, I recommend Nectar. It's a great spot and it keeps getting better.
- Pros: Great wine selection, cool atmosphere, friendly and welcoming!
