This establishment is a gem. I only give it 4 stars on atmosphere because it sits on a very busy street and I can't give a half star. Food was outstanding. I got the Angus burger and the wife got the cucumber salad with chicken. Wine was on point and the desert was to die for. I had the lemon blueberry cheesecake and wife had a mango sorbet with proseco which was delicious as well as refreshing. We will be back. Thaviny our server was just as friendly and tentative as she could be even though she was working the whole establishment. Thanks so much.

This is one of those spots that drive by and always say, "That place looks cute; I want to stop by there one day." Well, I finally did last Friday night, and I'm so glad that I did. I was flying solo, so I sat at the bar and chatted with Jerel (sp?), who was the bartending and manager, I think. This is a beautiful, intimate wine bar. My delay in coming is that I don't drink wine, nor am I much of a drinker. However, I love cute, cozy spots owned by local entrepreneurs. This is perfect for a date night or intimate friends' gathering. It was warm and inviting. I sat at the bar and had the dates stuffed with goat cheese and pistachio crumbs. This was so delicious. However, there are only 3 dates in 1 serving. I think four would be better for sharing with your date (22), and the plate wouldn't look as underwhelming. They were really good though and I would order them again. I also had the Spanish chickpea soup/stew. I can't recall the name, but it was very good and filling. As a dairy-free (I will occasionally do goat cheese) pescetarian, there wasn't much available that was more substantive, nor were there many dairy-free options, so I removed a star for that. However, the taste and quality of the food was top-notch along with the service. My partner actually is lactose intolerant, so although I would love to bring him here, we could only come for some small bites, like my soup/stew. Hoping more pescetarian options pop up soon. I will be the first to bring him back. In the meantime, I will return for some small bites just because I love the vibe and those small bites so much.

We are visiting from Denver and we went here twice. The first time to just have a drink before going to dinner and we tried the stuffed dates...so good. Went back a few days later for dinner and had the fusilli pasta, the salmon, the crostini flyte and dessert. It was SO good. And Jaime was so wonderful. She was there both nights we went and she was so helpful recommending wines and just the best! Overall we haven’t had a bad meal during our visit but do yourself a favor and check out Era! It’s amazing.

10/10, definitely recommend!!! We'd been meaning to check this place out for a while now, and we're so glad we did. It's really cute inside (clean, modern, not too crowded) and we got a great seat by the window. Our waiter was fantastic--some of the best service we've had in a while! My husband got a glass of red (sangiovese) and I got white (pinot gris), both of which were excellent--nice taste and finish. What was an even nicer surprise was the food. We got the parmesan truffle fries (delightful/exactly what you'd expect), veggie flatbread (the melted cheese on top doesn't make it look appealing, but it's still good, just not the star of the evening), rigatoni (SO, so good, coming from this pasta lover), and Spanish chickpeas (also delicious--very smoky & tomato-y--and leftovers go great over rice). Our pic of the chickpeas isn't great...that's on us lol. We finished the evening with a slice of the dulce de leche cheesecake, which was simply decadent. It's clear their menu changes, since it wasn't exactly the same as the pics you see online, but it gives you a good idea of what they serve. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back!

OKAY — straight up — I had had enough of the Maitre D’s attitude at the restaurant next door to Era Wine Bar, and made my way to Era’s instead. AND ... what a nice place with really good food and a terrific wait staff across the board!!!

Very flavorful, fresh, and tasty brunch! We ordered the waffles, French toast, and steak & eggs. Nice portions, fluffy waffles and French toast. The steak was prepared perfectly! The drink selection is impeccable and top notch service. A nice gem in Mt. Rainier with great ambience. We will definitely be back!

Great experience with friendly staff providing excellent customer service. Charles and Symage were helpful to select wines that meet the different tastes of each member in our party. Salute board and lamb sliders were wonderful. Cute spot for a date night or girls night out.
