Knowles Station Wine & Co

We went there for lunch today. We were happy to see how diverse the menu is. We each got a glass of wine and I ordered the Soft Shell Crab in a corn 3 ways sauce. The wine was a big red and the crab was enormous. The sauce was very well thought out and delicious, a perfect pairing with the crab. My wife got the mushroom risotto. I was impressed that the chef used Maitake and trumpet mushrooms in the preparation. The portion was quite large. The wines they sell are fairly priced and they have ratings on some of the wines.

Onion rings, buffalo shrimp and the cheeseburger egg rolls were all delicious. Good beer.

We got to go there for the first time in December when relatives took us there. We did not have to wait long and got a seat right off although the place was busy.

They had a great beer selection and the plates we split were excellent as was our server.

They had a great 'take-out' selection of craft beers. I checked many of the expiration dates, and unlike many of these specialty beer stores, their selection was current as well as varied, I want to go back again during our next visit.

On a Sunday evening, my boyfriend and I had dinner at Knowles Station Wine & Co, a beer and wine bar with a kitchen and a retail shop. By the time we arrived (around 7pm), it was not as crowded as the lady on the phone described. There was no wait for a table. Our server Tony gave us waters while we waited for our food and drinks.

For drinks, they had a notable beer and wine list. We were in the mood for beer. My boyfriend had the Nanticoke Nectar IPA while I had the Downeast Cider: Winter Blend. If he had scrolled through the entire beer list, he would have ordered something else.

My boyfriend had the Baja Fish Tacos, which consisted of three corn tortillas, topped with grilled fish, spicy slaw, pico de gallo, and salsa roja on the side. The tacos were tasty but a bit moist and messy to eat. Despite not being a huge fan of parmesan, I enjoyed the Smoked Chicken Pasta, which consisted of penne cooked with spinach, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers in a savory parmesan cream sauce! We would definitely return for future date nights!

This is a nice, quaint, small restaurant and package store. Lots of cold draft beers to choose from. Pretty extensive selection of other local microbreweries are available also. The food was delicious, prepared well and plated nicely. The serving sizes were good. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable of what's on the menu as well as what's on draft. I highly recommend this place. Nice quiet meal where you can have great conversation with the other members of your party. They also have wonderful outdoor seating.
