Feast of the fishes — 7 tiny masterpieces with delicate flavor executed with exquisite care using ingredients of the highest quality and delivered by attentive servers. We left with personal boxes of delicious cookies and a steaming cup of spiced cider. It was a lovely evening.

About the restaurant

Riccardo was born in Florence, Italy and grew up in Boston, MA. Marybeth, a Sioux Falls native, ventured to the east coast as a nanny and then nursing school in Somerville, MA. The two met, fell in love, and became engaged on Martha’s Vineyard island. Moving back to Sioux Falls in 1999 and working at several area restaurants, they opened R Wine Bar in 2018. As owners of R Wine Bar, Riccardo and Marybeth are passionate about one thing: people. They believe that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. With a curated wine list, local craft beer on tap, and beautifully executed menu, Riccardo and Marybeth are thrilled to bring R Wine Bar & Kitchen to the East Bank of Downtown Sioux Falls along with their General Manager, Jane Allen, Assistant Manager Bailey Bernal, Sous Chef Caleb Carr, Sous Chef Esteban Gonzalez, and Culinary Director Adam Schumacher.

R Wine Bar never disappoints. We had a full day of shopping in Sioux Falls. Made 4:00 reservations a week before and requested a window seat, which are limited. We were received by very a very merry staff and were seated at my requested window seat. We ordered a bottle of wine we have never tried (spectacular) and of course off their December menu for supper. Oh my goodness it was amazing as everything on their menu is. We left happy and making plans to come back again. It is definitely our favorite restaurant and wine bar in a historic beautiful building. We were one of the first, waiting patiently for them to open several years ago, and we keep going back. Well done R Wine Bar..well done indeed!!
