Unique \\u0026 relatively new, (one year old at time of this review,) natural wine bar, which contracts out food services separately. It’s a unique concept to run a wine bar this way with the kitchen being separate but part of the bar. Current kitchen had a small unique menu. We loved the different interpretation of a papas dish and the tuna taco had a real bite to it. Wines by the glass were pricey and I didn’t find one that I loved. But I would totally go back to give it another try because the employees were helpful and lovely and the location is fun in the middle of North Park with outdoor dining. Inside was designed pleasantly and a fun vibe.

Very comfortable atmosphere. Great space to bring a date or your best friend to! The service was amazing and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We came here during happy hour and tried an orange, white, and red wine. The wine selection is great - not too overwhelming. Food was delicious and satisfying. I highly recommend trying the clams in salsa verde and the calamari. The basque cheesecake was hands down the best cheesecake I have ever tried!! Will be coming back!

Great wine selection, great tasting food (this month a popup is in place, farm to table Mesa Agricola is taking over the kitchen).Loved the vermouths and natural wines, fair prices and small dishes so they can be shared and you get to taste a lot of them. The bad news is some dishes run out early enough since it's really organic prorated in the moment, depends on today's ingredients. Also the waitress did not know a lot about the wine list so that was not a problem but unexpected for a wine bar with such a selection of bottles and by the glass. Also assorted craft beers on tap and some desert wines.Interesting place and very tasty food. A must if you love wine and fresh produce. They also have a log out gluten free vegetarian and even vegan choices.

Great wine bar with several very knowledgeable sommeliers. The food recently changed and if anything, it's even better! One of my new favorite places!

love the atmosphere, vibe is incredible and the staff was super chill however the food is extremely small for what they describe as dishes meant to be shared. the chef wouldn’t accommodate vegan friends and most notably the tlayuda was for sure a tostada and nothing more

Now called Truffles! Amazing food and service!

Walked past this place a few times so decided to try it.It's a wine bar that has happy hour until 6. Please note the food doesn't begin until 5.Patatas bravas: so tasty. Like the hashbrowns you didn't know you wanted. Stracciatella: the bread was so soft and buttery it was insane. The cheese was a nice additive that cut through the olive oil.Cheese board: from Vennisimo so you know it's tasty. Wish there was some bread or crackers with it but still divine.Seared dates: If you take anything away from this order these. The texture was so delicious. Soft and marshmallow-y one second and seared crispy-ness another.Everything here was delicious but rather expensive. I'd come here just for the food next time. Not sure if come back for both given the price.Parking: it's north park so you already know. Parking structure a block down on 30th and university. Otherwise Street.Ps: cute date spot for drinks after dinner!

Was really excited to try this place out and ended up disappointed with the food. The waitress was friendly, overall service was good. They were out of quite a few wines when we went but we picked something and it was just okay - not the restaurant's fault.Unfortunately, the food was not great. Our meal was cold and portions were small. They charge extra to get sauce which I've never experienced with barbecue. We love barbecue and we were excited, but this didn't do it for us.
Excellent all around, very worth a visit.The staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable, the wine selection is vast, the food is outstanding, the vibes are great.Updating this to add try the pork shoulder, it's unreal

Some interesting menu options and a nice range of organic wines. Definitely make reservations if you want to sit somewhere other than the bar.

4 stars for the wine, 5 stars for the service, zero stars (negative stars if possible) for the BBQ, and also acoustically challenging. Honestly one of the worst BBQ meals I have had- I thought maybe Sonora bbq style was meant to be dry and tough? Also I would fundamentally question the appropriateness of natural wine paired with BBQ. But the staff were lovely and wine was good, maybe just go for a drink there?

The Smoked Cherry Glazed Pork Ribs were so savory deliciously mouth-watering good we had to order a second one. The sauce was a nice sweet and spicy glaze across the meat with pecans on top. Service was perfect & ambiance was nice! My friends and I are definitely coming back here!We also tried the Fried Chicken Sandwich, Mac n Cheese, & Creamy Citrus Pickle Slaw which were all very good and tasty! The Chicken Sandwich was fried nice and lite and the sauce was unique in a good way and the fresh dill made it different and tasteful.

Leaving this review on our second visit! The first one was good. It felt like more sandwiches (maybe a month or so ago) this time we did the BBQuterie board and some a La carte meats and it was all EXCELLENT. The ribs are a real standout, the meat is fall off the bone and the the sauce was awesome. The carnitas on the bbquterie board was bangin as were the sides.I feel like it’s not often busy, and I hope they make it! It’s really good! Highly recommend!!
