Really enjoyed our Date Night at Silver Lining Wine Bar. Was a bit hard to find and we had to walk up and down Waimanu Street a bit before we saw the address. Then we had to find the restaurant which has no sign at all. We made it to a door and saw in very small print Silver Lining. Entered to come face to face with a staircase. Go to left, turn right and there are two doors and no sign. Go through the steel door on the right and you enter into a quaint little bar that immediately feels comfortable. The bartender was super nice and asked if we had ever been here before. We said "no" and she described the concept of organic wines without all the chemicals and additives plus some nice food options. This was a Friday during Lent so we could not eat any of the meat entrees. No problem we were told and she gave us non meat options. We pretty much ordered all of them plus on extra dish from the Brix and Stones bar upstairs. I had about five glasses of wine. They are small and start at about 3 ounces and I think go up to six. Started with white wines and then graduated to red with an Italian one being my fave. Food was really good. I am not a big lover of Arugula but the Arugula Salad was great. Loved the dressing and shaved parmesan. The Potato Pave was tasty with layers of potato that I thought was really nice. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were indeed crispy, nicely burnt (which I love) and delicious. I liked the Baked Brie but was not a fan of the red glaze on top. The Baked Feta with Mushrooms was good too. The owner of the place and bartender were so nice that I just gotta go back here again.
