The story
Winona's sits at 676 Flushing Ave. in Brooklyn, a farm-to-table restaurant that has earned serious recognition from one of the wine world's most authoritative voices. In 2024, Wine Spectator granted the restaurant its Best of Award of Excellence — a distinction that reflects not just an impressive cellar, but a program thoughtfully matched to the food on the plate.
Open for both lunch and dinner, Winona's builds its identity around farm-to-table sourcing — ingredients chosen with care, menus that follow what's fresh and available. That philosophy, when paired with a wine list strong enough to earn national recognition, makes for a dining experience where every element of the table is considered.
The Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly. It signals a list of significant depth and breadth, curated to complement the kitchen's seasonal, produce-driven approach. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, Winona's delivers on both counts — a rare quality in any neighborhood, and a genuine asset to the Brooklyn dining scene.
