Long list of great wines to choose from, the food is great for a happy hour (charcuterie, dips, etc), and the patio is one of my favorite places to be on a beautiful day in the city!
Sashas on Shaw is a wine bar and restaurant. They serve an assortment of wines and spritzers and have a full menu of food. I ordered their Turkey and Appenzeller Sandwich with tots. The croissant was yummy and their twist on tater tots was unique. I had a time constraint and let the server know and they happily accommodated me by getting my food and bill to me quickly. The staff was very nice and I appreciated their flexibility!
My favorite neighborhood wine bar! Love visiting the patio with my doggies and friends. The goat cheese dip and warm brie crepe are chefs kiss!
Don't wish to read this review, well here is a summary for you. If we lived here this would be our hangout. Why, great drinks, service, food, and atmosphere. Sasha's is more than a wine bar so if you are not into wine there are plenty of other options for you. They have a bountiful wine and cocktail list with many top shelf options. Six of us arrived on Valentines Day evening and to our surprise there was a table available. They had V-day food and drink specials. The one that caught our eye was a shot and a beer for 9 bucks. They were offering decent whiskey and local beer and not well options. Our whiskey was at least two and a half ounce pour, and the beer was a tall boy! The rest of our gang ordered martinis and other local beers. Our food options began with a charcuterie board that satisfied the six of us. We then ordered their flatbread pizzas and crab cakes. We split a pizza, and it was more than enough for us. Even though they were busy, service was very attentive. as we never lacked drinks. There is a cozy bar area, with a fireplace, and a larger dining room. They also have a patio with heaters, but it was a tad cold that evening for us Texans.
Just realized my previous review was for Sasha's on DeMun... oh well. We finally made it back to Sasha's on Shaw after a brief visit last February that was cut short due to an emergency. We came after going to Garden Glow. No reservation but we got there just in time to get the best table by the window. The ambiance and atmosphere are great. Casual but still sophisticated and romantic. The food was really good. My boyfriend enjoyed his tenderloin steak and brussels. I had the vegetable crepe. We also got the Tres Quesos cheese plate to start. Of course we ordered a bottle of wine. I think it was a dry riesling. We will most definitely be back in the summer to enjoy the patio!
We stopped in for a quick drink and snack before heading to the Garden Glow and I am so glad we did! The ambiance is amazing, the service was amazing and you can't go wrong with the food and drinks. Our server, Scott, was top notch! We got a world cheese platter and a flatbread and they were to die for. Of course the wine was great but you cannot leave here without getting the Sasha's Martini! It is absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back!
I had never been to Sasha's so my friend, who is a regular, suggested we meet up at this spot. Let! Me! Tell! You! I adored this spot! The ambiance from the time you set foot inside the vibes you get add sexy, chill, and sophisticated! We sat by the warm fireplace on a couch a sat and talked for hours! The espresso martini was the best I have ever had! The apps we ordered (charcuterie board and pita/hummus plate) were just delish! And the cherry on top of this beautiful outing was the FREE wine tasting! We tasted about four different wines and! We gained for each selection and it was very informational! The wine bottles on the wall are a unique and elegant touch. I am not a fancy girl, but it was nice to feel fancy but! Not too fancy, if ya know what I mean! It was still a chill atmosphere!! Highly recommend this spot for sure!
A cool patio that also serves cocktails ?!?! Count me in! Sasha's is located in the Shaw neighborhood just a few minutes away from the Botanical Gardens. After a day in the garden, Sasha's is the perfect place to relax. There garden patio is cozy and relaxing. They offer an extensive cocktail menu. I love anything with bubbles so the lavender French 75 was an obvious choice for me. The menu boasts cheese plates, small bites, sandwiches, and salads. There is something for every palate. Our server was helpful with the menu and offered excellent recommendations.
I visited Sasha's On Shaw for my friend's graduation celebration on a Friday night. We had a group of ten, and my friend mentioned that it was very difficult to get in contact with anyone to make a reservation. She explained that she had to call multiple times in advance, and every employee that she talked to was unfriendly and unhelpful. However, when we all arrived for the reservation, our in-person experience was totally fine! The inside is super cute and trendy, but the outdoor patio is absolutely perfect for sipping wine on a summer night. Our group of ten sat inside, and it was extremely loud and hard to hear anyone. I could barely hear my friends who were sitting directly across the table from me. I think the patio is the place to be! Our server was nice and knowledgable about the menu. She did a great job taking care of all ten of us. Our food took quite awhile to come out, but I totally understand that they were busy on a Friday night and that we had a large table. The appetizers came out with the rest of the food though, which was a little disappointing. My friend and I split a bottle of white wine. It was delicious and the perfect amount to share. Don't get too overwhelmed by the expansive wine list! Everything is very organized and easy to follow. I ate a Grilled Veggie flatbread, and it was wonderful. It comes with grilled zucchini, squash, red and yellow peppers, asparagus, and mushrooms, with house-made red sauce and mozzarella. I definitely recommend it!
What a great spot to grab some drinks on the patio! I attended an event at wild carrot down the street, and we decided to continue enjoying Shaw at Sasha's. This was on a Sunday, the sun was out, and the weather was wonderful. We had a large party and were split up into a couple different groups (totally fine). The patio itself is large but the tables give a quaint vibe and are very garden-esque. Our server was super attentive and we told her we all wanted Pinot Grigio. She have her suggestions and we decided to go for the bottle since there were 3 of us. Presentation was wonderful and the wine was crisp and refreshing. No food this time but definitely will be back for more patio sits!
