Called last minute for a reservation and they were very accommodating, especially since the place was busy with live music. Thank you! Food and service were really good, nice evening. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I come here pretty regularly. Swanky little wine and appetizer place. Delicious food and friendly staff.Vegetarian options: The Farmers Market dish is great--seasonal grilled vegetables with a little glaze drizzle on top. We also love the Truffle Fries! A while back they had buffalo style cauliflower which was sooo good! A couple of the bruschetta options are also vegetarian and quite creative.

So if you are a wine club person, this place is pretty popular. We had the Chicken and Bruschetta. Food is just ok, the wine very food and a cool place to eat. $72 bucks for 4 drinks and 2 appetizers at happy hour.....seemed over priced for a 3 30 afternoon.

The ambience was outstanding. The customer service was spectacular. The wine was absolutely delicious and the chicken was amazing. All I can say is it if I could give them 10 stars I would and I can't wait to go back.!

My husband, friend, and I came here last night to enjoy some quiet time and good food. The food was actually really good and we were happy with that part, however that's unfortunately where the good times started and ended for us. Johnny was our server last night and we had several hiccups going on. We all ordered a glass of wine, my friend ordered a cabernet, I ordered a red blend, and my husband ordered a malbec. We were brought our drinks and everything seemed well and good, my friend finished her glass and asked for another, at which point she ordered another cabernet. Johnny let her know that this next wine would probably taste super different, because he actually poured her a tempranillo instead and just didn't correct the issue. Although she didn't dislike the Tempranillo, it really made us all feel strange that he wouldn't have just said he made a mistake when he poured it and just brought her what she asked for, he just disregarded her order and ignored it until she finished her glass.We ordered the green chili pork, clams, fried chicken and beet salad to start and it took a really good chunk of time to come out, so by the time we finally got our food we wanted a little more so we ordered some truffle fries and baked goat cheese. It took over an hour for them to bring the fries and goat cheese to us and for these small plates this seemed pretty crazy. A few times, another server came to check on us because Johnny was nowhere to be found. When we asked for the check, he never came back to get the bill so my husband wandered the restaurant until he found the manager so we could pay. Overall, we were here for over two hours for a service that shouldn't have been more than an hour, we are not lingerers. We just want to have some good food, drinks, and go home!Also, when we got the bill, Johnny still charged us for his mistake wine! Super disappointing because the food was actually good but the service really really dampered our experience and didn't make any of us have any desire to return.

Great experience with live music and delicious food. Excellent service. Strongly recommended.

The buttermilk chicken, truffle fries, and green chili pork were amazing!! The farmer's skillet (which is usually equally amazing) was just not great (unseasoned). We had a great evening, beautiful bottle of wine, and lovely atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Farmers skillet is usually amazing but was was not very seasoned today. It has been inconsistent the last couple visits.

Fun place for appetizers and wine! The live music was good and helped the ambience. The wine selection was excellent. We will be back

We reserved the couches out back for a party of 10. We ended up with 12 and staff was happy to accommodate. Food was delicious, wine was great, the music was fantastic, and the vibe on the patio was spot on. The shining star of the night was our server. She was AMAZING! We kept switching spots, had food allergy requests, even switched orders, and she took it in stride. With a smile on her face she delivered excellent service to a 12 top! Thank you for a great night.

The wine was great. The food was ok. The atmosphere was ok. They band was right next to us so that wasn't pleasant we could hear each other and there was no place to move to. The service we had was strange we started with one waitress who never came back so we had to flag someone else down which caused waitress #1 to get mad at us and she wouldn't even look at us. Waitress#2 saw that she was contributing to ignoring us and started helping us. It was very strange. We won't be going back. Mostly for the over full experience not just the testy waiters issue. It seemed to be a popular place for the nearby retirement community.

Great place for happy hour to unwind after work with friends, wines and cheese. Service is great, the tapas are delicious, and I can vouch for both the Malbec and Muscato

One of our favorite places to go for a relaxing evening. For a wine bar, the food is really top notch and has never disappointed so the kitchen staff is really delivering an elevated experience. The wine list is intended so offer many pairing combinations. For how outstanding this place is I’m surprised it’s not more loud and busy but I am SO ok with it. We truly think it’s a hidden gem and if you’re considering trying the cellar, I hope this review is the tipping point. Cheers!

We loved the wine recommendations here, and the waitresses and waiters were so nice and friendly, very chatty and energetic. It has a positive feel vibe from everyone working there - and it is our first time trying this local place - only around 1.5 miles from our house. We tried several dishes - Charcuterie, Truffle Fries, Pork Green Chile, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, everything was excellent. For some reason, I didn't take as many photos of the food, maybe I was too busy eating it this time, lol. They had live music inside, and we wanted to talk, so we sat outside in their patio, which is next to a golf course. A lot of people were inside enjoying the live music, but we had a nice blend of everything being outside. I would definitely recommend this place and I know we'll go back here for wine and small tapas, it is a great local spot!!
