Crimson House

Had the greatest time on a rainy night in March. We came to see Jeff Howell perform (along with Casey Howell) and were treated to caring, attentive seevice, and a great wine selection. CH has a small selection of small plates (charcuterie, fruits, veggies, and cheeses. Along with their normal large selections of wines they serve a rotation of "special event" wines. All in all a comfortable place we need to return to. Parking: Lots of parking within a block or two.

There is little that can beat ending an evening at a wine bar. It was a nightcap of the highest order, the finishing touches on what was a progressive dinner of sorts, starting at the local brewery, migrating a few steps west to eat, meandering back to the brewery, and then aiming toward Crimson House a few blocks away. New Smyrna Beach is lucky to have all of this going on, and being such a walkable town makes it even better. I went with a couple of reds, first a standard issue Cabernet Sauvignon, and then one that more closely resembled a Tempranillo. Think dry and dryer. Crimson House sources their wins from across the US, as well as South America, so you’re never forced to drink locally if you don’t want to. Besides, it is hard for southern wineries to produce a dry wine unless they buy their grapes from the west, because the local grape—the Muscadine—is so sweet. It was refreshing to have such a nice selection from which to choose. Our family gathering of five sat on the front porch around a small table. The evening was perfect, the ambience on-point inside and out. Soft lighting on the inside, lines of Edison bulbs illuminating both the porch and sprawling garden seating area, and live music made for a delightful finale. We’ll definitely return.

The atmosphere is very cute. The wine house is charming and the outdoor area at night with garden lights is welcoming. I have been here 3 times and each time I have experienced a very short tempered, rude, condescending worker named Denise. Each time I have brought out of town guests visiting me in NSB. Last time I was there, each will BE my LAST, I had my iphone light on to see the wine list on their menu and Denise loudly reprimanded me, in front of all the customers and my friends, “ turn your phone light off it’s shining in my face.” To the owner, this employee of yours needs some employee training on customer care.

This is such an amazing place! Dr Leanne and I (Cara) stopped by for a glass of wine and a little live music and we had the best time. It happened to be ladies night so that was a plus too! Linda even had Dr. Leanne hop on stage to sing a quick song. 10/10 would recommend!

Attended the fashion show fundraiser last night. Have never been to the Crimson House previously. We had a great time. Everyone working the event was super friendly. Great outdoor atmosphere. There was music after the show. And, oh yeah, the wine. We had 2 bottles of the Chianti which we really enjoyed. Will definitely be returning!

Friendly staff and a great selection of wine served in a vintage home that has that early Florida charm. A nice addition to any trip to New Smyrna.

Denise is the greatest
