My sisters and I went to Wine Down for a celebration and we did not want to leave!!! We started with the Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Oil Flatbread — thin, crackly crust, loads of mushrooms, fontina fonduta, and a yummy drizzle of truffle oil. Drinks of choice were the lemon drop martini and the the Kris Kringle ~ with vodka, white cranberry and cinnamon simple syrup topped with a festive foam ~ amazing! We had a flight of wines which was the perfect intro and they took the time to expand our taste preferences & knowledge. The Tuscan Dip and meatballs were so delicious! Every bite, fantastic owners, exec chef Autumn & server Adele exceeded our expectations ~ Wine Down on Market isn’t just the best restaurant in Parkersburg ~ it’s a destination worth driving hours for. Downtown has needed a place like this for decades ~ Kip and Pam have delivered quality far beyond what is even available in the region! (Photos courtesy of their fb page, I was way too busy enjoying myself to take pictures!)

This organization and the experience that it offers the residents of the Mid-Ohio valley is something truly amazing and dearly appreciated. The Food and Wine (and other spirits if you're so inclined) are surreal. It's a luxury that most of us locals are not quite used to, but dearly grateful for. Every bit is exceptionally well priced, to the point that you're surprised after the meal. The space is simply beautiful. Graceful and accepting. My wife and I love eating outside in the Summer months. They have an amazing space downstairs, called the Cellar that can be rented out for private parties and events. I struggle with the words to describe the Callar; maybe inspiring is the word I'm looking for. All of this aesthetic and savor.... as significant as it is on it's own, pales in comparison to the people that own, operate, manage and staff "Wine Down". Veteran owned/operated, Pam and Kip have amassed a team that simply brings everything together in the best of ways. Autumn is an exceptionally talented and charasmatuc chef, whose philosophy can be tasted, seen, heard and felt in every bite; and the rest of the team are simply perfect. And I'll leave it with that. Wine Down on Market is very close to being a perfect experience every time, and we are so dearly grateful for that.

I would give more stars if I could! This place was awesome! It's a little small, but really worth the trip. We sat outside and had a great time. The food was magnificant - the mushroom flatbread and the mushroom pasta, holy cow they were SO GOOD. I told our waitor, who was also awesome, that they needed to be served together. If you're a mushroom lover like us, I highly recommend getting them both! Then dipping the flatbread in the pasta. YUM! The espresso martini was also delicious! So good my boyfriend got a second! The wine was very good as well! So happy we checked this place out, we are already excited to return and get these dishes and the martini again!
