Cozy Wine Bar with Great Ambiance
My experience at this high-end wine bar was truly enjoyable. The ambiance was really nice, creating a cozy and intimate setting. I found the wine selection to be very good, and the quality of the wines was excellent.
While the space is small, it contributes to its charm. The food was also good, and the service was top-notch.

Charming French Wine Bar Experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! A friend recommended it, and she was spot on. The place has a great vibe, an amazing selection of French wines, and personable service.
My friend and I sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. Our server, David, was charming and funny, and it was evident he loves what he does. I can't wait to return when I'm back in town.
Highly recommend!

Arrogant Staff Ruined Neighborhood Spot
As a local, I was hoping this place serving wine and bites would become a go-to neighborhood spot. However, the pretentiousness from the staff, and what I believe was the owner, was a total buzzkill. The vibes were off, which is disappointing for a weeknight visit to a walkable joint.
I was particularly annoyed by the incredulous look I received when asking for my check after waiting nearly 40 minutes for service at 10 pm on a Wednesday. This isn't Paris; just serve good food, good vibes, and good service – it's simple.

Amazing Wine and Delicious Bites
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The wine selection is amazing, and the bites offered are incredibly delicious. I still dream about the olives and charcuterie.
The servers are exceptionally knowledgeable and always assist me in finding the perfect wine. Despite the wait for a table, it's well worth it, as they make you feel welcome with a glass of wine to enjoy while you wait. The overall atmosphere and the wine/food selection make every visit a treat.

Great Wine and Cheese Selection!
I had a great time doing a little wine tasting here when I was in town for travel. The wine was great, and the cheese selection was very good!

Great Wine, Awkward Seating
My experience at this wine bar was primarily positive, with a focus on the wine selections, bread, butter, and cheese, all of which were great. While I didn't try the other food offerings, I suspect they are also great. The atmosphere inside was loud, and the seating outside was made awkward due to chairs being zip-tied together, forcing couples to sit shoulder-to-shoulder facing outwards.

Amazing Food, Terrible Service
My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The food was absolutely amazing, earning a perfect score. However, the service is where it truly fell apart.
Upon arrival, we were seated promptly with no wait. The issues began once we ordered. The staff was incredibly rushed, making it difficult to ask any questions about the food.
It felt like an imposition to even ask for the check, as the waitress and what I assume was the manager were laughing, seemingly unconcerned with our table. When it came time to pay, there was another significant delay. The manager's handling of the payment was particularly unpleasant.
When I presented my Amex, he dismissively stated, "this, we don't take, " and when I inquired about Mastercard, his booming response of "what do you think? !" was both rude and unprofessional. His subsequent pat on my shoulder without permission was unwelcome, especially given my growing annoyance.
Ultimately, the consensus was that the food, despite its quality, was not worth returning for due to the poor service.

Delicious Steak Tartare, Accessibility Needs
My experience at this cute little wine bar was largely positive, especially regarding the food. I had the Steak Tartare, which was absolutely delicious! However, I do wish they had a written menu available for guests who are visually impaired or have other accessibility needs.
This would greatly improve the dining experience for a wider range of customers.

Great Wine and Food, Wish We Stayed
We stopped in for a glass of wine and a snack before a dinner elsewhere. Almost wish we had stayed and had dinner there. The staff are very welcoming and they have a large wine selection that they will help you with.
The food and wine we had was great.
