Absolutely love this place. Everything we had was delicious and proportioned well enough for sharing. Service and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We were greeted by 5 different staff members in passing and they all wished we us a good night, which was appreciated. I highly recommend every dish my boyfriend and I ordered, but if I had to choose, the mussels are my favorite. The sauce is just so flavorful! We were too full to eat dessert there but got the Basque Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake to go. Just the perfect ending to a perfect meal!

Great food great atmosphere. Service could be more catered to diner needs instead of server needs. Didn’t appreciate waiting almost 5 minutes to be seated on a Sunday with about 4 diners and two staff members by the bar just chatting. Also no need to pressure us and let us know kitchen is closing every time you come by I mean it’s only 9 pm… and I’m on a date! also embarrassing to present another card when there’s nothing wrong with it on a first date. Luckily I had Apple Pay (with the same card) to avoid the embarrassment!

I sincerely regret spending any dollar at this place, never had such unacceptable behavior from staff and attempted gaslighting from the owner. This after being a loyal customer for years. Tip to management - if you get serious and polite feedback via email, just (1) thank the person and ask them to win back confidence (2) leave with that, and (3) take action privately with the team. Don't get into a back-and-forth nitpicking and trying to put the blame on the guests, especially when it's based on false accusations by the team... you go check the video tapes. I'm done with this place.

I came in a couple of weeks ago and was on the most akward date. Will was our server and he saved my night!!! He picked up on the vibe and helped bring the energy up and gave me friendly attention, which was more than my date did. I'm beyond grateful we landed in Will's section and will return to thank him. I didn't eat much bc I was stressed out but service was excellent!

Came here for a work holiday gathering and found this to be in a cool spot having lived not too far from here long ago. Parking was available on street but overall location is in a residential / industrial area. In any case walked in and awaited to be seated. We had a table reserved in the back, but really nice and cozy vibes in this spot. Looking around lots of wine bottles and just a low key vibe.We were seated and had a prix fixe meal off the menu which one of the peeps in our team had arranged. For food, they offered wine pairings with and many of us opted for this. As for food a variety of plates to share - grilled octopus to start (which was tender and so well made), vodka pasta with padano which I really enjoyed ( meatballs on side),...and then more courses - swordfish ( cooked to perfection - not tough or chewy) and steak and brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts were amazing, some carrots which were also delicious. Overall, a well enjoyed meal among friends and unbelievably good food and bice vibe. Highly enjoyed myself and would recommend to anyone who likes wine, good food and vibes. Give it a go!!

Expansive wine by the glass list, one of the best I’ve seen. Cute space with good design. Probably my new favorite wine bar in LA.

Wife and the Somm hosted our wedding reception and I couldn’t have asked for a better evening. From our trial, to menu specifications Christy had everything covered. The night flowed perfectly, with amazing wines, incredible food, superb hospitality (they played perfect wedding music all night). My husband and I love to eat and having a great meal was really important to us. Wife & Somm knocked it out of the park! The food was spectacular and we left with plenty of delicious leftovers for our honeymoon. Christy’s service and baking are both to die for and we can’t wait to come celebrate with them for our anniversaries and beyond!

We had our wedding dinner in the back patio with a party of 16 and it was everything we could have hoped for. Christy was wonderful to work with and incredibly accommodating.The day of our event both the food and service were perfect. All of our guests were impressed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience on our special day.

All of this might just be chalked up to being an "off night" but, went in a few weeks ago and it was WEIRD.From beginning to end, something seemed off. Something seemed awkward and something seemed like there was a lack of attention to detail.In a competitive market where "the cream rises to the top", attention to detail and attention to how and why things are executed set one of these places above the rest.Female bartender (curly dark hair) was lost, confused, not knowledgeable and should probably find another place to work.The set up and logistics of the inside of the place is awkward.Clientele is a little strange--very different and very unrecognizable to the OTHER establishments similar to this in the immediate area--if you catch my drift.Menu is weird.Tried the charcuterie board--it was unremarkable. Not special. Bartender had no idea what she was talking about and they brought us the wrong cheeses.Maybe they are working out the kinks. Maybe it was an "off night" but, the owners and management of this place are going to have to work really hard to elevate the entire experience to compete with similar offerings in the immediate vicinity and NELA.

I took my partner for her 60th with two friends. She ordered the chicken, which was a half chicken on a plate, unadorned, with some small cubes of some white vegetable. Unattractive, hard to cut with the blunt cutlery, and it turned out - undercooked. The glass of south african wine was undrinkable - not good for a place that boasts about its wine. I had the pork belly, a small serving, quite tasty, served only with a few ropy braised green onions. We decided to skip dessert. They took the chicken off the bill, but 3 mains, two sides, two glasses of wine and a beer still came to north of $200...won't be going back.

Lovely restaurant and wine bar. Excellent selections for the wine aficionado. The space is open and minimal with outdoor seating. Good spot for large or small bites, good date spot.

Great ambience and lovely experience. The food, although very good, didn’t quite meet all of my expectations. Overall still a very good restaurant.
