I really don't know what I can say about this place that does it justice. Bottlerock is hands-down THE BEST wine restaurant in the westside...forget being the best in culver. Service = Awesome, personal, friendly. Food = OMG. OMG. Fantastically delicious. They know us by name now before we even have a chance to identify ourselves over the phone when making reservations. Who does that!? 5-Stars just isn't enough.

great wine and cheese place – how can you go wrong with agood glass of wine and plate of fine cheese. I highly recommend this place. My favorite place to chill with friends and a good cab.

Big wine, small plates at this Culver City hot spot. – This popular Culver City wine bar, opened in 2006, is still packing 'em in day and night. The local workforce storms its floor-to-ceiling glass walls during lunch hour and a more eclectic crowd of artsy types and wine aficionados lingers inside or on the outdoor patio once night falls. The interior--a neatly arranged room of exposed-duct ceiling, maple floors and a long wine wall--keeps things simple, and the shiny tasting bar, replete with aluminum barstools, is where t... read more

Thanks But No Thanks – The servings for three people were collectively less than a tiny snack. there were 2 or 3 slivers of cheese, each about the size of a postage stamp, a few of the thinnest slices of prosciutto I've ever seen, and a like amount of a pepperoni like substance. there were 5 very tiny dots of a pickle and a pork order which was about 3 bites. The Salad was OK While none of the food was bad, we felt ripped off price wise Between us we spent over $250.00 then left to eat dinner

Unless you know nothing about wine you are better off going to Trader Joes and picking up a few good bottles and snacks. This place is well overpriced for what you get. I prefer going to what used to be called Vinum but is now part of Ugo. Much better place and much more fun (they even play old Italian movies on the wall) . Bottlerock is a good idea gone bad. The wine selection is mediocre and all the food is made in toaster oven (you can watch the cook if you don't believe me). Ontop of that they charge way more than its wo... read more

I love this place. – This place has a lot of good attributes and, overall, an awesome staff (there are some exceptions, of course, but that's par for the course). I am a regular, and will continue to go back. Bottlerock is good for small and large parties a like, and the staff is more knowledgeable about wines than any other place in downtown Culver City (there is still room for improvement on the wine knowledge/sophistication side, which almost earned them 4 stars instead of 5, but they are working on it, so I expect improv... read more

Best grilled cheese ever! – Last Friday two coworkers and I went to BottleRock for lunch around noon and it was dead quiet, which was perfect for us since we only had one hour. We all ordered the Black Truffled Grilled Cheese and decided it was the best we've ever had. I also had a glass of the Dom. Georges Brunet Vouvray, France, recommended by the server because I said I liked sweet wine (but not dessert sweet), and was very happy with it. All-in-all, grilled cheese for $8 is a little steep, but when the craving hits, I'll... read more

SNOOZE FEST – My husband and I came back from Napa and decided to continue our magical wine country experience by trying a wine bar near our home. There was a lot of buzz about Bottle Rock, so we went there after a movie. The entire experience was just below average......sorry. The server was not extremely knowledgeable, the service was slow and a bit too distant for our taste. The food was expectedly boring and typical wine bar cuisine. Maybe we had high expectations. Maybe it was a bad night, but we haven't had the desire ... read more

BottleJoxers – I've been going to Bottlerock off-and-on since it's opening about 2 years ago, and after having lived in Culver City for 7 years, I was thrilled at the concept and realization of Bottlerock. However, the last time was pretty much the last straw. It's not that it's a bad place, it's just that it is WAY OVERRATED, OVERPRICED, with really POOR POURS. My girlfriend and I ordered 2 $11 glasses, which amounted to just a little more than a tasting - we ended up buying the bottle so as not to feel cheated (not a great... read more
