Eating Chocolate Cake Here Should Be On Your List of 100 Things To Do Before You Die!!!!

by massagehelps

The Wine Shoppe at Foxcroft has a new location in Rivergate [The Wine Shoppe at Rivergate!] and you can see from the parking lot that it's a place you want to hang out! Warm lighting, lava orange walls, a cozy loft space upstairs and a super modern wine bar can all be checked out as you cruise by in your car! Go inside! Order the flourless chocolate cake! Of course the wine and coffee are delicious too! But this was the best chocolate cake I've eaten in my 27 years on this planet!

I am a healthy eater so when I indulge, I expect it to be worth it! And, it was! The chocolate cake has a rich cheesecake-like consistency and arrives on a saucer with rich whipped cream, a cappucino drizzle sauce [ask for extra sauce to dip forkfulls of cake in!] and a saucy strawberry!

The Wine Shoppe at Rivergate should be your next stop this weekend!!!!!

• Pros: At the new Rivergate location: friendly engaging staff, awesome interior [orange walls, coffeeshop vibe] great wines and amazing desserts!

Great new Chef

by ShaunskyM

I met their new Chef, Andrew, at the Charlotte Farmers' Market on Yorkmont last Saturday, and decided to bring my husband by since we live in the South Park area. We had tried the place before when Noble's was doing the food and weren't overly impressed, but after talking with Andrew about the changes, we decided to give it another shot. Boy, were we glad we did. The new sandwich menu looks great; we tried the California Club, and it was incredible. The frisee salad was very good as well. Our server was very knowledgable about the wines too. We will definitely recommend this place to all our friends.

• Pros: Great food and wine, nice neighborhood atmosphere
• Cons: Limited menu, small tables

My little secret

by Rachel4art

The Wine Shop @ Foxcroft has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. My husband and I started going there occasionally on Friday and Saturday nights and liked it but recently we ate there and the menu had changed and they had a new (cute) chef in the kitchen. We were amazed with the food. My husband's Cuban sandwich was the best sandwich he said he had ever eaten and everything I had was great, especially dessert. Our bartender's knowledge of the wine was also very helpful, but not pretentious (sp?). We will definitely be back next date night...

• Pros: great wines by the glass selection, top-notch food for deli prices
• Cons: small tables
