Had a lovely late evening catch up with family and friends. Stefano made us feel right at home. Great atmosphere. We look forward to coming back and having dinner.
Before the second lockdown, a few colleague and I went to have a drink and dine in at INES Wine Bar. They staff were very courteous and friendly form the moment we stepped into the establishment. They had a really great selection of gin and the food was delicious. Our only qualm was that due to the lockdown rules, we had a limited seating time which was fine, but one member of the table didn't get his food until 15 minutes before we had to leave.
Otherwise, great place to unwind and catch up with friends over a drink or two.
Love this place!! It's just down the road from my house and we have been at least 5 times. AMAZING food, great wine and the service is incredible! I just scrolled past and saw it only has 4 stars but it deserves so much more!
Incredible & authentic food, very reasonable prices. Highly recommend
Lovely, cosy wine bar on chapel street. We tend to pop in for a nightcap and dessert on our way home from dinner. Red wine and tirumisu = winner combination. Definitely worth a visit.
I just went there for a drink.
I appreciated the fact that they served the wine at our table rather than bringing the drinks. I like looking at bottle labels when I drink wine, so this was just perfect.

You will find Ines Wine Bar located on the Windsor end of Chapel Street. This dimly lit and cosy European style wine bar oozes old school charm with a touch of timeless elegance – it is the perfect place for date nights, special occasions and catch ups with close friends.
On busy Chapel Street you are seriously spoilt for choice, but when it comes to intimidate date nights I love Ines wine bar. It is a moody bar with comfy seating at the front, and tables at the rear. Tastefully decorated, and low lit; Ines has a romantic ambience. With an Italian slant, the food and wine here is delicious, and the service is attentive and friendly.
Concentrating on share plates, with a few mains on the menu, the dishes are so delicious. We had amazing eggplant chips which were crispy, salty and tender. The Vitello Tonato was divine. Whisper thin slices of veal topped with a traditional tuna mayonnaise... so tasty. We also had beef and the crispiest baked potatoes, which were both extremely good.
Several glasses of wine later, we were more than satisfied with our night at Ines. With a beautiful atmosphere, fab food and fantastic wine; it's hard not to enjoy yourself here.
This is the second time I've been here and I've gotta say its now one of my favourite venues. Located on my favourite location Chapel Street this classy well styled wine bar has a good list of wines along with the food to match. With attentive service and good vibes I'll definelty be going here next week. ***Disclaimer: although the restaurant has generously invited me to their restaurant this review is still based on my genuine opinion.
Adore this place! We live locally and love to pop in here for a late afternoon drink and snack. Everything is always exceptional quality and the staff are lovely. They also have great happy hour offers and other specials. Today they had a special for an aperol spritz and complimentary antipasto plate for $12, and both were delicious. Can’t recommend enough!
😱Lizzie’s first impression: as soon as I walked in, i felt the ambience. It was dim but not too dark. The place felt like a perfect place for a date night.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: they have a large selection of wine which I enjoyed. Would love to come back to try out their food to pair it with the wine.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the seats especially where the couches are at the front are really spaced out so it is a little hard to hear one another.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great place for drinks especially when it’s less busy.
Service and food was wonderful. We did the set menu which also accommodated for dietary requirements and had lots of food! Loved the vibe of the restaurant, would definitely come back. We had a group of four in the booths which were very comfortable.

Neptune is a moody and modern Mediterranean wine bar located just off Chapel St in Windsor. The team here also brought you @tokyotina_ and @santelmomelbourne, so you know already it’s good. Picture saloon style booths, cafe style street seating, a fireplace and moody lighting.
The cocktail menu is brilliant highly recommend the Pampered but there’s an option for everyone and great selection of refreshing Spritz’s. The food menu is innovative mostly consisting of small plates perfect for sharing.
The Saganaki was so good, paired with honey it’s a match made in heaven. The Scarmoza and Nduja Jaffle is a must and packed some good heat. It’s tough to ever go past a Burrata, mopped up with their fluffy Potato Focaccia bread you just can’t get better than that. 🍞
Being Italian, Beef Ragu is usually the last thing I will order when I’m out. However, I was craving it and boy did it hit the spot. What is usually a basic dish was so full flavoured, I was truely impressed. Like always, get the Crispy Potatoes.
The menu changes often so some of these options may no longer be available, however I have full faith that there will be something else just as good. Perfect spot for a date! 😘
⭐️ 5/5 (Excellent)
Really like the service and the food here. The fairy toast was the best, crunchy toast topped with popping fish roes was great. The steak tartare was also fabulous. Scallop and kingfish crudo was nice. Hubby had duck frites which him and the kids really liked, although I found the frites a bit soggy. I had the spanner crab pasta which I found flavourless and a bit too oily. The kids shared a rigatoni and the kitchen thoughtfully separated the dish into two dishes so we don’t have to do it ourselves, definitely bonus points there.
Their gin cocktail w grapes and citrus was delish but I was very obsessed with the German resling I had there. Yum. Overall a very good meal.
Great experience overall. We went for the birthday special, can't say no to $5 negronis! They were just as good as if we had paid full price. Loved the ambience, intimate whilst still feeling a part of something. The food was delicious, the ragu was mouth watering, pasta cooked juuust right. Staff were attentive without being over bearing...a fine balance.
Sensational food, the pasta was some of the best I have had and the lamb shoulder just melts in your mouth. You would not be disappointed at all. The service was welcoming and warm. The attention to detail from the waiters when it came to the food and wine couldn't fault.
We will definitely be back again with family and friends. You have gained your self some regulars from now on .
The next day we had a follow up email thanking us fot coming in. The smallest of details makes you feel like you are appreciated as a customer .
Great value here in the warm large space that can feel quite intimate and cosseting. Excellent range of wine by the glass served by young professional staff who really know the wines thoroughly. Highly recommended for drinks, dinner, a date or a romantic meal.
Love Neptune, the food is always amazing and the staff always friendly and helpful. Definitely a favourite!
Really enjoyed my evening at Neptune. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the spaghetti. The absolute highlight was the tiramisu, I think it's hard to find it better elsewhere.
