Extremely rushed and borderline rude service, and has a poor selection of wines for a “wine bar.” Food was okay, nothing special, and they were oddly insistant about ordering all at once (assuming that this is so they can keep flipping the tables quickly?) The whole experience was a let-down, especially because it looked so promising. Will not be returning; recommend that you go elsewhere if you’re looking for a relaxing wine bar experience.

The servers try to push people out as fast as possible and force you to place your food order all at once, which is very strange for a tapas based menu. The wine menu is short and not very impressive for an establishment calling itself a wine bar. I had a glass of Super Tuscan that was awful, with the cloying taste that I associate with using underripe grapes. That is not what I would expect from a place positioning itself as a wine bar. Do not recommend.

They can get a little crowded but the happy hour is great. Wine selection and tapas are fantastic

Got seated, waited 10-15 minutes, no service. Went elsewhere. We were among the only POC in the restaurant, for what it’s worth.

A great environment and very tasty food! Would recommend the gnocchi and arancini! Will definitely go back!
Booked a normal rez then called to change time and was told no problem. Arrived and sat in basement alone and didn't see a server for 30min...service was so slow down there and it just felt off being in a basement room. They told us we booked that room but clearly the person who changed our rez over phone had done and not mentioned that.
Staff very friendly and knowledgeable but slightly disorganized which wouldn't be a deal breaker for me to go back the ambiance was fantastic enough alone for me to return. The value of the food and wine was slightly overpriced but never the less very delicious. I think the bill with tip was $200 when I feel like the bill with tip should've been $150-$160 based off the quality and quantity of our food items. This is just my personal opinion others may differ but 4.2/5 stars is definitely a fair review from me. Hard to be perfect all the time but this experience was definitely near.
i'm only writing this review to save another unsuspecting soul of wasting $400. 1 server for the room and bar, which could have been feasible if she had any kind of support or managerial staff to help her. and if she had more years of experience. i'm assuming a manager was on his laptop most of the time we were there, completely tone deaf to the drowning waitress. not enough bread served with the cheese platter, the aioli for truffle fries just tasted like blended oil, risotto had an unknown flavor profile that certainly wasn't mushroom, the most disgusting tiramisu i've ever had. and for a place that calls itself a wine bar there's a laughable selection of barely any wines. i almost never write a bad review but in the end spending over $400 for the comedy of errors that was this dinner, i need to let other diners know. to top it off the check was dropped after numerous requests to pay without mention of a 20% gratuity included. we had no problem paying the gratuity but this policy needs to be mentioned to the guest when the check is dropped.
Place was shoulder to shoulder and we were told after an hour we needed to be done because our reserved table time had ended. Later we were told this was an error we actually had another 15 min because they're tables are reserved for 90 min. I recall this being a thing during the pandemic but this place was packed so there were no pandemic precautions going on otherwise. If I had known ahead that there was a strict 90 min table time I would not have made the reservation as I don't like to be rushed. Or a may have pre-ordered so I actually had 90 min to eat and drink. They also gave me Humbolt Fog which is a goat cheese in place of gorgonzola.

Always a great experience here! The blonde bartender/server is amazing, knows just the right questions to ask when guiding wine choices, and is so friendly! The food is super delicious, played very well and has generous portion sizes. The menu may seem limited if it's your first time but everything is tasty. The pesto gnocchi (cut into squares) is a big reason I come here so often and speak highly of the restaurant!

Freaking delicious! Ari was so welcoming, warm, and friendly. Attentive and took our dinner from great to amazing! Get the brussel sprouts, meatballs, tortellini, and the steak. He recommended it all (and topped us with a rec of prosecco) and didn't disappoint. So so so good.

Staff are really friendly and very helpful! Food was top notch. Pork belly was my favorite. Happy hour 5-6 (mon-thur) $8 wine, $9 cocktails. Paid parking right outside. Aryeh the manager is a legend!
