Love it! Parisian natural wine bar vibes with fun cocktails and mezcal. Lots of mezcal. The dishes we had (stuffed olives and mortadella) were so incredibly well thought out and really had the “surprise and delight” factor. Go and enjoy for yourself!

Back bar charge? Really. We didn't have any food. Uncalled for. Otherwise was very nice.

4.5, Excited to find another natural wine bar in the city. A fun moody basement bar to pop in for drinks and snacks with great vibes and staff. They ended up having a hard to find wine from our favorite wineries which was a great surprise! I can see myself coming back here if I’m in the back bay area looking for wine. They also had a good selection of cocktails and liquors.

Such a stunning speakeasy bar with secret door entrances. Definitely a vibe to be in. The drinks are delicious..especially their espresso martini. 😭 Definitely returning!

Loved this intimate basement spot. Great drinks and small plates. The service was excellent, and the staff dealt with the large influx of saturday night guests very well. We especially loved the meatballs and caviar topped mozzarella sticks.

The cocktails were hit and miss. The margaritas were not great!

We wanted to eat upstairs but didn't have reservations so we ate downstairs at this bar. It has fewer options than upstairs. The servers were nice but seemed distracted, there one moment and then you never see them again. I would have had another drink but never saw our server after he dropped off our food. Food was decent, we shared the farmers market salad and some fritters (which were good but rich and a bit greasy).
Love this place. Wine and food were fantastic. I wish they played the music of the vinyls on their wall. I wish more people were there for the wine.

Worth the wait to find this place - it does great cocktails and has a nice vibe.Service was a little patchy when we went, including having to go find my own table after waiting a while to be seated with no one coming over, and having to get up to get the check rather than someone asking.That being said, the staff were great when they did come over and had helpful recommendations.Cocktails themselves were very good, pretty strong and quite different to the ones I’ve had elsewhere in Boston.Music is LOUD so don’t come here if you want a quiet date.Would come back for sure.

Rude service. They wouldn't let us sit freely in the bar was forced to be next to people when we didn't need to. Switched out the gin in our cocktail without telling us. Spoke down to us and didn't engage at all. I would not recommend coming here. It was also very expensive.

Such a bummer experience, waiter was beyond rude for no reason from the moment we entered. After trying to get his attention for about 15 minutes and finally flagging him, he an had an attitude and as if he was doing us a huge favor for even acknowledging us. Instead of ordering more we ended up asking for the check. Bummer that one waiter could really ruin the vibe of a place. The place also smelled a bit funky, not sure what that was. Never returning bye!

Our first stop in Boston while we waited to see if Hurricane Lee would hit. A little loud and a little hip/young for this old lady but we still enjoyed it immensely. Great inventive drinks and super service. We ordered the charcuterie as a late night supper and could have had sandwiches for a week - very generous!
