I love love love the wine box! my family goes there almost every time we go out !!

Lovely food, comforting fire place in winter, and a quiet room down the steps

The great menu, food and service.

Great service, nice environment, great food, Enjoyed it both times.

The Wine Box is nestled in the quaint Albany Village which in turn sets the tone for the actual restaurant. This restaurant is very unique in the way that it serves Australian dishes and this is why I chose to put it on this list. Expand your mind by sampling the Australian dishes, and by this I mean kangaroo, ostrich and other various exotic dishes. I have never been game enough to try these dishes but I do think it is a great idea to think outside the box and make your restaurant memorable and unique. This restaurant is a lovely place to go with a loved one you are trying to impress. It is very romantic and cute and the food is just delicious. Just hope your date is not put off by smoked ostrich.

We have been regulars at The Wine Box for some years now.  Since having a baby we don't get out as much....but when we have a special occasion to celebrate its still out number one go-to restaurant as we know the food is delicious, the wine list fantastic, the service friendly and its always consistent.  And in winter the gorgeous fireplace adds to the warmth and romance of this rustic charmer of a location.

The wine box has such character and ambeince and the food is devine. The staff help u pair the perfect wine to your meal and they are great at keeping you feel attended too without being hovered over. I love the risotto and will def get it again. The parkinv can be tricky… But that is only a small.downside

I love the Wine Box, it's my default restaurant :) Such amazing food, and great service! It's a really cute home-y feel, very cozy, and ambient.
