We made a reservation for 6 people on Open Table for a Saturday night at 7pm, and apparently they had a private party. Very unprofessional not to announce us ahead of time that the restaurant is closed for a private event.

We entered by chance and were pleasantly surprised. The interior was superb, they were showing black and white movies, handing out popcorn, and pouring excellent wine – it made for a delightful evening

THIS PLACE IS WEIRDDDD. Should’ve known something was wrong when we walked in and the place was completely empty at dinner time.The decor is nice but it’s strange that they play loud movies on a giant projector screen in the middle of the dining room.Also, the waiter was immediately tryna make the hard sell on the most expensive items on the menu (the tomahawk steak.. bottles of wine). He said he’d give us a good price (..who says that in a restaurant??).While we’re deliberating over the menu, a random guy who had come in at some point, sat at the bar and was previously chatting with the waiter, calls over to us to say he’s a chef and that he and his chef friends like to order a tomahawk for the table and share it.We got bad vibes and decided to just get apps and drinks. Even opted to get a bottle of wine. After 15min, we had no wine and no apps. Waiter then walks over to a wall of wines and pulls off an empty bottle and tells us he’s out of the wine we ordered and instead has something better… We decide in that moment to forget the wine and just have the app we ordered (which still hadn’t come). He then pushes back and tries to sell us more stuff. After that we all got up and left.We got some delicious Italian food and wine a few minutes up the road at Positano’s. Highly recommend that place.

We went there for Valentines Day as we wanted to try something new that looked a bit on the finer side. Walked in, the place looks more like an empty space that they quickly threw something that looks sort of like a restaurant together. Not even any noticeable aromas for a restaurant... it was pretty stale. We sat for 20-30 min before even getting a drink and food order in... not even water. Water and wine came 15 min later. Food never came. Server never checked in to give an update or check on us. We left after 1.5 hours of basically nothing. The place was nowhere near full, and all the tables were rotated and got some drinks and appetizers before we even had a server come take our order, not even a "Hello" or "Welcome"... we finally had to flag someone down. So we were definitely there longer than anyone else. I really don't know why the service was soo lax and disorganized. We noticed a number of other tables were leaving as well... they didn't have as much patience as us, haha! We finally called it quits after 1.5 hours. To add insult to injury, as we were waiting for our check, the server finally came with our food; however, he presented it to the table right next to us who just ate and were waiting for their check as well... rather than turn to us and apologize for the simple mix up, he just brought it back to the kitchen where we could see them all scratching their heads not knowing what to do... you can't make this s&%$ up!!! We just paid, left, and enjoyed some bar food down the street. This place is a complete trainwreck!!!

A delightful evening at this wine bar—exquisite wines from diverse regions paired with a charming atmosphere. The perfect setting for a romantic date or a relaxed night out with friends.

A solid wine bar that hits the mark with its good selection. While not reaching excellence, it offers a satisfying experience for those seeking a reliable place to enjoy quality wines.

Awesome restaurant! The food is delicious, and the staff is super friendly. They make you feel welcome and take care of everything with a smile. A perfect place for a tasty meal and great service. Thumbs up!

Embracing an innovative concept, this wine bar captivates with its ever-changing menu. The absence of a fixed menu adds an element of surprise and excitement to each visit. The octopus and wild salmon dishes were a delectable delight, paired perfectly with the refreshing green Vinho Verde wine. Already looking forward to the next visit to discover what new culinary delights and wine pairings await. A must-try for those seeking a dynamic and evolving dining experience.

One of the best restuarants I've visited in Boca. The food was amazing and the wine pairings were so great. The prices were unbelieveable honestly for the level of quality. I would highly recommend and plan to be back soon.
