Comfortable atmosphere. Nice open dining area. We had a great waitress. Food was delicious. I will visit again.
Amazing! The ambiance was amazing the chef is making fresh real food dishes. Prices are good wine is better and the conversation you will find even better. The staff is top notch and around perfect evening.
An entirely family owned business with extremely high quality food for amazing prices. Service was great and worth the wait.
Staff were very nice and the food was awesome. The recommended wine was very good. We were there almost 2 hours so plan your visit accordingly. They definitely need at least 1 additional server.
I was very impressed with their wine by the glass selections, the 3 reds I tried were all very good at their price point and went together well. And they are priced appropriately and generously poured. The food was also excellent. My wifes steak salad and my pizza were both very good and our blue cheese chip appetizer was excellent. Everybody on the staff was friendly, helpful.and engaging.
Visited for a date night with my wife. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and felt very comfortable. The wine selection was varied and our food was delicious.I will be visiting again and would recommend this place for a comfortable dine in experience.
We dined last Friday Aug 27th. We arrived around 5:20. We ordered wine and it took 30 minutes. WE ordered are salad and main course. Another hour went by finally received are salad. Aprox after that we received are main course. I ordered their fish chips. Fish had to much breading and the fries were very soggy. I ate about 6 bites. My wife ordered salmon & risotto. They forgot the salmon. Risotto was fair not prepared well. I am not a new customer. Based on this experience it will be awhile before I go back. You need more staff.
Amazing food and even more amazing staff!!
It was awful. We ordered a to go order. The food was just thrown in and looked like it was meant for a toddler. We ordered the Brie with fruit..the Brie was burnt..gave us 4 grapes, 2 strawberries and 2 sliced apples. Two pieces of old tasting bread and two weird tortilla chips. Ordered the “chefs choice” grilled vegetables..also just seemed tossed in the box and were barely cooked but old. Didn’t even really eat those. The bread pudding..didn’t have the ice cream. Had a few bites and also tossed it. The prosciutto with bruschetta..not sure how to even comment on those. We did eat most of that order I think. But we drove an hour away didn’t end up at the place we originally went for so this was the next place I thought looked good. 🙄. $33 with a tip added. I’m commenting because it was just a poor experience all together.
Absolutely perfect service! Food was amazing and paired well with the recommended wines I had. Owner came to our table and made conversation with us on our first visit. Wife and I loved it! Definitely will be returning!
Great wine selection but limited food options. Live music is good for a place this size.
The food is amazing. They will customize any meal, so dont hesitate to ask. The Chef and the staff are incredibly friendly. The wines are unique and come from smaller vineyards.And once a month they do an event on Mondays, which alternate between a family style all you can eat; and a six dish dinner with wine pairing.
I didnt have time to eat, but the Chef explained that the menu can be adjusted for pretty much any dietary restriction. The wine selection is excellent, and a sample is only $3.50 ! Ill be back and I recommend you try this location out. I returned to Zemores and the chef prepared this custom buffalo chicken slider pizza on gluten free crust for me. It was delicious.
Fantastic food!
Great selection of specials. We tried the ribs, loaded chips, and stuffed mushrooms. All were fantastic. We also thoroughly enjoyed the cabbage rolls (better than grandmas) and linguine carbonara. Wine was delicious. They also have some craft beers.Great cozy place to get away from the crowd. Very affordable and the staff was very friendly. The chef came out to speak to us as well, which was a real treat.Well be back.
This was a really nice place to eat! Relatively quiet, enough to enjoy a conversation across the table without having to raise your voice a little bit, food is excellent and the wine selection is very broad. 10/10 will be returning, it looks like they do small parties and events as well!
I just left a bridal shower hosted by this special Bistro. The food and wine were so good and they made us feel right at home. Thank you for the wonderful time.
Great venue, great space, great food! We had a bridal shower of about 30 people last week. The space was perfect with a fabulous atmosphere! Zemores Wine Bar and Cellar (formerly Cuvee) has it all - wine/liquor/beer, a variety of delicious food, music and great people. Greg and staff (wife and daughter) were very flexible, accommodating and attentive and couldnt have done more to make the party go smoothly and ensure that everyone had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend this great spot for any kind of celebration with friends and family.
Good did with regularly changing specials. Very large choice of wines, plus a decent selection of beers. The service was a little slow. Interesting atmosphere. Kind of like a coffee shop, but for wine and dinner.
Pizza, salad, and pasta were delicious! All fresh ingredients, you could tell it wasnt out of a can or box. The wine of course was very good too ;)
Went there to visit with friends and have a wonderful dinner. They have a wonderful bar and wine. The chef is excellent. The bill was way too low for the excellent service and food.
Stopped in New Years day looking for an open restaurant. So glad we did. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Unique dining experiences each month for families and couples. Will be going back!
Great place for a happy hour. The food is always changing. Gluten free options available my friend had the pizza and has not stopped talking about how great it was. They have a variety of seafood specials on fridays for lent. Worth a trip
Love the variety of great food done expertly at very reasonable prices! Perhaps too many options taking longer to deliver to customer especially when shop is busy.
Met the owners. Very nice folks who make great food. They have many choices of wine and beer to pair with their nice place to go have a good time with family and friends.
Even for carry out, great, fresh food and recipes you dont find anywhere else. Cant wait until we can done in with them again.
Love the family-run spirit and the outstanding cuisine. Love being in their wine club, too.
Excellent customer service and personable experience. Wine is great, but the food is even better. Greg, those ribs and sauce are to die for, and the risotto with beef, omg! I will definitely be back.
Superb food and wine, and great setting with a wonderful atmosphere. Had dinner here with friends having just flown in from the UK - what a start to the trip.
The waitress could not answer any questions about the wines being served and several wines listed on the menu were not available. Food was good though. Service was very slow, we would have ordered another glass but the waitress disappeared and we had to hunt her down for our check.
Great food and wine selection.
Great service, cute wine place with small menu but good food!
Excellent service, great food. Truly the perfect neighborhood bar!
The food is great and inexpensive. The wine choice is excellent. The service is great, the owner is very friendly.
Another fantastic evening! Great wine and fabulous food! They do not disappoint. Thanks Zemores!
Great spot for an array of wine choices and food! Our favorite things on the menu are the pub chip appetizer, flatbread pizzas and we love the French onion soup! They always have new and exciting specials and a friendly staff to serve it.
Best wine selection in town. Food is great.
No one knows how to make drinks. Even though they offer it. We went bc its local and we heard food was good. Ours was just ok. Maybe it was a bad night.
Loved it. First time visit Chicken was excellent. Choice of wines fantastic.
This place is awesome . 1 in a kind chef! Love all aspects of this place except closed on Sunday aha.
First, the wine was really good. Food was not great, that brings me to service, when the staff heard that I had a strange taste in my meal (dill) the chef insisted on taking it off my bill. Ill be back.
Great owner with amazing small plates. menu is always changing for the best.
Had a bridal shower dinner here tonight. The owner was fantastic to work with and even did a dinner special for the bride. He let us come early and decorate and was super accomodating. Every single thing we ordered tasted amazing. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!!
Great food.... The cabbage rolls were really well done. And what a great treat with the blue cheese chips...
Its almost strange how kind these people are. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices. The owner served us our wine and promised to buy it back if we didnt like it.
Great food, good value, great service!
Great wine selection and amazing food!
Great food and great staff. Have been a few times and have not been disappointed. Highly recommend!
Great food and a nice wine selection. The wine tasting menu changes weekly or you can buy bottles to drink on premises or take home. Greg the chef/owner has a standard menu as well as a Specials menu that changes regularly. Everything is made from scratch. The kitchen is small so you may have to wait a bit on very busy nights, just order a small plate appetizer to tide you over. The monthly wine dinners are spectacular with a local wine rep discussing each wine that is excellently paired with each course. There is also a decent beer selection on hand. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend stopping in.
Greg is just great. We love great daily specials. Wonderful quality, perfect size and a good value. It is our local favorite place to relax and enjoy.
Great food, beer and wait staff
Excellent food, friendly service.
Excellent food and good variety of wine.
Awesome place you would never be able to randomly find. The food is extremely fairly priced. The Quality of food is on par or better than any food I experienced elsewhere in Dayton and that includes all the highest rated placed. The wine on offer is perfectly paired to the available dishes.If you expect this place to be like every other restaurant where they care more about appearance rather than the experience, you will not enjoy it. If you are down to earth and want to talk to both owners/chef and other people you just meet there, have great wine, and create an experience, this place is for you.Also, the prices are so incredibly fair we thought we owed at least 30 dollars more and would have if we went to a big bland corporate restaurant.
Enjoyed the calamari and salad. Atmosphere is friendly and service is good. Good selection of wines and a few local beers on tap.
Giving them a 5+ really good food, wine and service.
Cute joint to hang out, enjoy live music, to have a drink and enjoy small plates!
This place is a hidden treasure within the Dayton area. It is a truly delicious Bistro with food that is up to par from bistros Ive been to in San Francisco to Boston. A must in food!
Great food and the perfect portions.
The chef at Zemores is amazing! Try the ribs cause youre gonna love em! Cant stop eating the pub chips. Great place to relax with friends with a glass of wine. The staff will help u make a good choice if u are unsure about wines.
Amazing in every way! Food, wine selection, and atmosphere are awesome! Highly recommend!
Best place to get wine or diner or just a drink in general in Bellbrook.
Holy moly!!! I just left from here. Amazing food! Greg (owner) is an amazing chef!We had their specials which included halibut and braised beef with risotto!And their wines were perfectly paired. Jenna did an amazing job serving us. So friendly and always smiling which was contagious. Thank you so much Greg and Melanie. Yall have something special and cant wait to visit again. Cheers!

2021-08-08Amazing food! I noticed most people who had bad reviews made their order to go. Getting it fresh from the kitchen, it was amazing! Sad to hear some people had a bad experience. I will definitely be a new regular!

2021-08-05I really wanted to like this place, as it’s so close to our house, but the food was just not worth it. The steak lettuce wraps were meager and not very good, and the calamari was rubbery. The risotto was ok, but I definitely can’t see going back here. And we got home and started eating minutes from when this was plated.The only redeeming factor is the lady at the counter was very nice (as opposed to the guy who answered the phone when I placed my order)

2021-10-18This weekend we threw a birthday party for my stepdaughter at Zemore’s. I was highly impressed with how accommodating and hospitable the owner and staff were to our family. They made sure we were taken care of for the two hours that we were there. From beginning to end the owner was very friendly and flexible with the ideas we had on using the space. This wine bar was the perfect location for our small celebration. The appetizer food that we had was delicious and complimented our wine pairings. The owner has a good selection of wine. I would highly recommend his place to anyone! I will definitely be back for the food, wine and phenomenal customer services.

2021-07-24Great service and an excellent place to throw a bridal shower. I told them fruit trays, lunch meat sliders, and veggie trays, and they had excellent presentation. Very accommodating and easy to work with.

2022-04-03Zemore’s is a fantastic neighborhood bistro. Greg, the chef, will go out of his way to make sure you have a meal you’ll enjoy. I went in in the midst of an elimination diet, and he fixed me a great dish with doctor-approved ingredients. My husband can’t have dairy, and they always come up with great options.

2022-04-02Great small and local restaurant who I highly recommend! All their food is amazing and the staff is wonderful! Support small business!!

2021-02-24Fabulous neighborhood wine bar. The food is amazing and they have lots of specials. While the wine by the glass selection is somewhat limited, they have myriad bottles to uncork and pour right there inside the store. Or, better yet, you can take one home.The server/Bartender was friendly and handled the entire place all on her own. We will definitely return.

2021-06-17The risotto was a little undercooked but still really good.. the burger was fabulous and the grilled brie was amazing! I highly recommend this place!
Review №9
2022-03-24Worst case of diarrhea ever. Kitchen is about the size of a bathroom and (apparently) just as dirty. Pretty overpriced for the portions you get. The glass of wine I had was ok; but you should eat somewhere else. This place has no business serving food.
