Met my two girlfriends for our annual Christmas dinner. Ordered the charcuterie tray which was actually ritz crackers and lunch meat! What a joke how disappointing! My shrimp came on a plate they were cold and they were gray I sent those back and did not eat them. The macaroni and cheese had shrimp tails in it thank goodness I didn’t have a seafood allergy! My girlfriend had the burger which was a hockey puck - she immediately put it in a box and never ate anything for dinner. The service was slow it was overall the worst dinner experience I’ve had in a very very very long time.

This was a fairly disappointing dining experience for us. Iur waitress was friendly and attentive, but food quality was lacking. We came from out of town and thought a wine bar would be fun. The restaurant was completely empty on a Saturday night and the inside looked like it was set up for a wedding with chiavari chairs. I could not tell if this was the normal set up but it looked strange. Menu did not match online menu and wine list was very short for a wine bar. Charcuterie plate was basically cheap cold cuts, no explanation of what was on it, olives tasted old and mushy. Fries were okay. Baked Brie was good but did not come with anything to eat it with. Wine we had was okay. We sat outside and it was right next to a cigar shop where people smoked constantly. Overall, not great, space has a lot of potential and could be great.

This is one of my favorite places to meet friends. The wine selection is great and the service is always top notch. Their food is very tasty and always served at the correct temperature. We love to listen to poetry readings on the first Thursday each month, too.

I always enjoy coming here. The wine selection is great and the food is really good. They offer plenty of options both as to type and size. So you can have a light meal or a full course spread. The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I hope more people will give them a try.
