The Scene – A long, zinc-topped bar slinks along the narrow space while test tube-shaped lights hang above. Vibrant red walls and petite votive candles warm up this otherwise ultra-minimalist boite. A well-dressed crowd fills bar stools and high and low tables. Friendly, wine-savvy staff are happy to chat up customers and give spot-on recommendations from the list of more than 300 bottles, 40 which come by the glass. – – The Food – The sophisticated, reasonably priced small-plates menu is highlighted by charcuterie and crudo, and spans New American to Middle Eastern…

Great Neighborhood Spot!

disappointing

by cpro817

i was excited to check this place out since it is basically in my neighborhood but was disappointed by the experience. while i liked the space (despite being small) and the decor, the food was really nothing to write home about. wines were phenomenal, staff wasn't exactly as attentive as i am used to but was very quick when waiting for us to pay...dessert was probably the only item i consumed aside from wine that i felt was worth what i paid...overall not impressed on food but worth a trip for the wine

  • Pros: wine, dessert
  • Cons: food, service

ex-pen-sive

by deEepsheep

not impressed.

came here with a couple coworkers after a long long day.

expensive prices for small pieces of food that just wasn't worth it i thought.

wine, sure. i'm whining, maybe. i just don't understand ... maybe rent isn't cheap
