“The ambiance of the establishment is undoubtedly cozy, and the service is warm and attentive, creating a welcoming experience. This type of venue is a much-needed addition to the area, and it holds great potential.

However, there are a couple of areas where improvements could elevate the experience further. As a wine enthusiast, I found the selection to be somewhat underwhelming. While the current options are acceptable, they lean toward the average rather than showcasing truly standout wines. Expanding and refining the wine list would greatly enhance the overall appeal for those who appreciate quality offerings.

Additionally, the pricing feels slightly above what one might consider standard. For instance, two glasses of wine accompanied by a small charcuterie board—featuring prosciutto, blue cheese, jam, and olives—came to $90 excluding tip. While the service remains commendable, a better balance between price and value could improve the overall experience.

In summary, this is a charming place with excellent service, but there is room for refinement, particularly in wine selection and pricing. With a few adjustments, it has the potential to become a standout destination in the area.“

“We've been a few times, and everyone we've met has this fun bubbly personality. They're very informed about their product and make recommendations based on personal preference, local options, popular options...anything (within reason) you can think of they know their product. And if you don't feel like walking around, there are games and TVs in the back.“

“As a Chef critic i felt this place had a nice atmosphere and friendly service. I had the impression they were slightly understaffed and looks to be family run. The food was decent, however, the plating and some of the dishes were sloppy. A little pricey for the food that was served. I still gave a 4 star as the waitstaff was friendly and excellent.
