First time here as we were trying to support local business. Started off frustrating because the website doesn’t allow you to make reservation for parties of less than 5 but no where on the website is that explained. We took our chances and got there amidst chaos on a Friday night. You have to order at the counter, and the line was long. The self seating might be fine when they aren’t busy but it was a hot mess of confusion since it was packed and there weren’t any tables. The staff was not particularly helpful or friendly (except for one young man) but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were probably overwhelmed. When we finally got a table, we ordered a flat bread, a portobello mushroom burger, the sirloin special, the chocolate mousse, and each of us had a drink. The flat bread was basically a small pizza and was nothing to write home about. The crust was more like that of a frozen pizza crust and the sauce was blah. Not worth $5 let alone $10. The portobello burger wasn’t anything special. The fries did not appear to be house made but at least they were hot. The sirloin had no sauce on it and didn’t appear to be seasoned at all, not even salt or pepper. We ended up taking the chocolate mousse to go as we were already disappointed and just wanted to leave. I have a hard time believing the chocolate mousse is homemade. There was almost no chocolate flavor, it was pale brown in color, and it had the after taste of a box mix. We can’t afford to go out very often and this was a bitter disappointment. Not sure I would even give it another try when less busy.

I stopped in for lunch last week and someone had recommended the Gouda burger, it was magnificent! I would definitely have it again.Today I just had the bruschetta- ok, tomato’s seemed like they were frozen and thawed vs fresh. Choices of tea bags. Nice place to enjoy a meal, tea and they have lots of wines.

A go-to spot for me and my family in Silver Spring. Good food, good vibe, good wine and beer selection. Particularly like the pastas and burgers.

Cute spot with nice staff and good food. I enjoyed everything I had. I thought about the tomato soup/garlic bread and banana bread pudding the next day…and I’m not a soup person. Every single thing was good. I didn’t get to photograph the banana bread pudding because I got it to go. Maaaaan, it was dreamy. I can’t wait to go back. My mimosa was tasty and strong. I spent about $40 for 4 food items and a drink.

This was not the first time I was here, quality is consistent. Good place. These items are not on the list below but I recommend the Shrimp Scampi and the Tilapia with orzo.

Great spot for a low key night out. Food is solid, wine and beer are excellent, vibe is laid back, and the staff are lovely.

i was pleasantly surprised by this place! i noticed this while walking from cava a week ago & decided to stop by without doing any research. i've been to some wine bars around moco but i haven't been to one with this expansive of a food menu! we had the chicken club was delish & so were the truffle fries. it's dark in the restaurant ; kind of lowkey & romantic. we had a bottle of riesling that was great & the service was super friendly. we went on a freezing cold sunday night & it was still pretty busy. i'll definitely be back!

I ordered the Jerkalaya pasta the sauce was literally like liquid not creamy at all no seasoning taste completely watered down. The truffle fries I ordered literally taste like plain fries. I'm very disappointed because I spent $35 on this meal just for it to be delivered and completely disgusting. The only good part about it was the garlic bread. A waste of MONEY. I pray this review saves others.

Unfortunately, this was a favorite staple of mine turned someplace that I will never eat at again. I ordered UberEats earlier this week and found a dead roach in the bottom of my hamburger box. I was so disgusted. When I called the restaurant, they redirected me to Uber for a refund (which didn't happen) and the person who answered the phone didn't even apologize. My fiance was too grossed out to finish his food - $45 down the drain. I will never be going back! The only reason I give this place two stars is because their food is genuinely tasty and I used to love going.
They serve some if the best spaghetti and meatballs I've ever tasted. I had a nice and enjoyable experience here. I'll be back for sure.

I’ve walked by this place a bunch of times and went for the first time today. I thought it would be full service, but you order at a counter and food is brought to your table. Food and wine both delicious!

I recently came in and got to partake in their free Tuesday weekly wine tastings. From that, I ended up purchasing their 3 pillars pinot noir and even got 10% off which they offer for wine bottles purchased with the free tasting. The tasting has a casual and welcoming ambiance and I would encourage attending as a good way to try a new bottles of wine instead of purchasing blindly. The customer service is often pretty quick and the employees are kind here.

Great spot to take for a date. Chill wine, great food and art all around the walls. They have plenty of drink specials and happy hour is M- F 3-7 pm. You get 25% off certain wines and appetizers. Staff was really friendly and the location was clean. Parking is very easy to

Cute wine bar in the heart of downtown silver spring. We grabbed a bite to eat and a glass of wine preparatory to a concert @ The Filmore- quick 5 min walk from the restaurant. Parking is nearby and plentiful. Every time I attend a show @ The Filmore I will come back here. I ordered a Cab (5-6 oz so enough to mellow you) which we enjoyed while our food was being prepared. I ordered the prosciutto flatbread and babyyyyyy it slapped! Pesto - goat cheese - fig - salty prosciutto - balsamic drizzle - buttery flatbread. It was incredible. They accidentally overcooked my pizza (they caught it before even bringing it to me) and offered an appetizer on the house for my extended wait while they baked a new one. Excellent customer service!I accepted their offer and chose their hummus and pita bread. Another hit. I had to slow down on the hummus because I was almost full before the flatbread arrived. My only regret? I wasn't able to finish my flatbread because I had to head to the show. We'll be back!
