    First time visiting Happy Wine, but will definitely not be the last! Love the affordability of wine. They charge a retail price for the bottle of wine you choose, and an unheard-of upcharge of only $25.00 charge to drink it with your tapas etc. Great selection and range of wines. This feature alone will have us coming back as some establishments charge up to 300% of the cost of a bottle to enjoy from their cellars. Last night our waiter Andre treated us to some delectable tapas. We started with an Iberica Ham on top of a diced fresh tomato base served with some wonderfully lightly spiced olives and a great cheese pairing. We also had the grilled artichokes, Shrimp al Ajillo with some lightly toasted bread to soak up the sumptuous sauce, crispy fried calamari with aioli and brava sauce, and the truffle mushroom risotto. Can't wait to come back and try more tapas and main dishes as they have a very good selection.

    We decided to try a new Miami Spice experience this year and were excited to discover that Happy Wine on 79 was close to home and, even better, offered vegetarian options on its Miami Spice menu—something that can be surprisingly hard to find. We loved it from the minute we walked in. The restaurant has a casual, no-fuss atmosphere, with both high-top and standard tables surrounded by what feels like thousands of bottles of wine. The selection was fantastic, and we loved that you can choose a bottle to enjoy while dining or take it home with you. The Miami Spice menu included a beer or wine, which was a nice added touch. Jasmine and Eduardo took care of us, and they were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They were happy to answer our questions and made the experience even more enjoyable. And the food? Delicious! Everything we had was wonderful, and it was especially nice to have such tasty vegetarian choices. We’re so glad we discovered Happy Wine on 79 and are already looking forward to returning. A great neighborhood find for good food, wine, and a relaxed, welcoming experience!

    We came with a group of nine moms to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we had a wonderful time! The food was delicious, the wine selection was excellent, and we loved the cozy, intimate atmosphere. The only downside was the acoustics. There isn't much soundproofing, so when the table next to us got a little louder, it became difficult for us to hear each other. It definitely wasn't their fault—they were simply enjoying themselves, just like we were—but adding some soundproofing would make a big difference and really enhance the dining experience. Overall, we had a great evening and would absolutely return. Highly recommend!
