Lina's Bistro a Vin

Lina's is a Paris-inspired, family-run wine bar that delivers service avec un sourire. It operates like an enoteca: you can eat and drink at the bar while deciding which bottle(s) to take away. Lina's pulls a mixed crowd: young south-side professionals and an older set, many of whom enjoy petanque in the rear car park. An intimate dining room is great for soaking up a jazz soundtrack and a bistro-inspired mix of land and sea. Other than some high-end bordeaux and burgundies, bottled wines mostly fall into the $30-$60 bracket. Blackboards display by-the-glass options. A garden courtyard is blue-chip real estate during warmer months.
