It was a lovely place for an intimate date. The food was outstanding and so were the drinks. The staff were lovely. The only thing is the wait time between the set menu courses were too long. Overall it was a great experience.

What a lovely couple dozen seat wine bar with tasting menu. Small menu but spectacular food. Mun was a superb hostess. We both ordered the amazing duck, which is cooked by her sister with her grandmother’s recipe. Fell off the bone! And she had us try four different Pinot Noir with the main course. Everything was perfect and we feel like we made a new friend too! #munoir #womenowned #pairings
