Came for a tasting as part of Tasting Collective and was glad I did. This was truly a great experience. The 5 course tasting had 2 courses (1st & 4th) that needed to be altered as I'm a pescetarian therefore, don't eat duck. So in place of the duck paté, I was served figs and brie and in place of the duck breast I was served branzino. Each course was nicely paired with wine, again adding to this wonderful experience.
The fig and brie with the croutons was delicious, followed by the roasted pear with gouda, pecans and pomegranate sprinkles which was a delightful tasty plate. Who would think white chocolate and cauliflower purée would be delicious and pair beautifully with seared scallops? Clearly Chef Moore did and how right was he. That purée had folks at our table scraping to get all of it. The next course was a substitute dish and was beyond disappointing, especially compared to the other 3 courses. The branzino was BLAND, but the olives that were on the side were extra salty. I thought I was supposed to eat them together, but that didn't help. I couldn't even eat this course. The final course was a butterscotch pudding, a great way to end the meal/night.
Chef Moore was very welcoming. He answered questions and took pictures with the guests.
I'll definitely add this to my list of restaurants.

Had a really terrific dinner last night. Ryan Moore's menu is so creative & tasty. Scallops were so great. Great wine pairing suggestions with each food item makes the experience very fluid. Loved.

I received a certificate as a gift since a I'm a wine enthusiast and went to redeem it at the bar on my own. I had an excellent experience with Víctor and the other bartender(with nice glasses, I don't know his name but he was great), who were both very friendly and welcoming. The Ratatouille was a vegetable pizza, but it was a little overcooked. Despite that, I would definitely come back to try other items, especially because the service was outstanding.
Really fun vibe with excellent and creative wine pairings. Food was very tasty especially the appetizers

I just had the most beautiful dinner here…I’m a pastry chef and a huge food nerd, and this was one of the most interesting, delicious, brilliantly made meals I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Go here now! No, you know what? Don’t go here, it’s mine and you can’t have it.

We had the beef tenderloin and bronzino, which were both plenty of food and delicious. The tarts are also well done. The wine list is long and the suggested pairings are spot on. It’s an upscale-feeling neighborhood wine bar that is priced a tad higher than competitors, but with it you get solid service and pleasant atmosphere.
