Just in time for those summer winds , The Wine Bar - a smart, contemporary and spacious loft in Atlantic Highlands - will throw open its doors on Friday, June 12, 2009. Diners seeking a new wine and dine adventure will find exactly what they are looking for just a short stroll from the Atlantic Highlands Marina. The completely renovated and decorated 4,000-square-foot restaurant and lounge surrounded by airy French doors, which open to catch the refreshing sea breezes. It offers a variety of special dining areas creating a different way to experience the Wine Bar whether dining with a loved one, with a group or solo. The full-service bar includes a sensuous Indian marble bar top and comfortable leather upholstered barstools. The lounge is filled with overstuffed sofas and animal print armchairs arranged in conversation style. The dining area sets a romantic mood with deep wood tones and soft verdant carpeting. The Wine Bar is the latest creation of local restaurateurs Courtney and Michael Rosa. The couple called upon their tastes, talents and passion for wine to create the kind of place where they wanted to enjoy a night out. The result is an exciting dining adventure for a romantic rendezvous or a meet-up place for friends and family. Separating the lounge from the dining room is a baby grand piano, where in the future singers and pianists may perform. There are semi-private dining areas including an enclosed banquette. And proving that no detail has been overlooked, the restaurant is bathed with a warming glow from unique honeycomb wall sconces.
