“Nudibranch was incredible. Food, cocktails, vibes and service were all genuinely 10/10. The crab tteokbokki was one of the best dishes we had all trip.

The whole team was so warm and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about the overall experience. A very special spot. Can’t wait to come back.“

“My wife and I had the most lovely date night here. Customer service - for me - is what makes a place stand out in NY. Every single employee was the absolute best. So passionate, insightful and kind.
But yes. The food is also superb. Each dish is a little art piece. You can tell you are eating something that has been lovingly tested and improved upon. Such a treat.
And then the drinks. I had never heard of a single spirit on the menu. Had a blast jumping around and being taken on a ride.
And good hand soap. Gotta love good hand soap.
So yeah. It’s great. Check it out.“

The decor was perfect setting for our celebration!! We will definitely be back to this spot again!!“

“Wonderful experience! The shrimp was delicious, the bread was fresh and perfectly balanced with the oils the shrimps are cooked in. The fish was perfectly cooked and you can’t skip the devils food cake! Sat at the bar and bartender was welcoming and very helpful as we assessed our choices.“

“amazing for apéro - Highlighting that the cheese plate was $22 with only one piece of cow’s milk cheese that was delicious, but not a sufficient cheese plate for that price!

Overall, very good wine and good appetizers but with small portions. Bread was good“

“Amazing and interesting menu. Each dish was exciting and fun. We realized after our meal that we accidentally ordered and ate all vegetarian. Get the cheezits and the squash rings! The schnitzel was delicious as was the carrot hummus. Whatever that chocolate caramel dessert with marshmallow on top is… GET IT! Maybe get two.“

“Excelente, very nice, lo recomiendo!“

“Vanguard on the Upper West Side has become a staple for us since we moved to this area 4 years ago. The interior is so charming, the wine selection is always great (and rotates every season), and the folks who work there are absolute gems! Getting to know Isabel and Jacob behind the bar has been such a joy, and they always give the best recommendations. Don’t sleep on the charcuterie board and other light snacks - they’re all delish!“

“This place has the dining texture of a Paris Bistro. The execution of dishes is classic French with asian & latin flavor profiles mingled in. Duck Rillets GET IT! Beet Salad. Order 2. This place doesnt miss many if any steps. Tight & Thoughtful wine-list excellent service. Also ask the knowledgeable staff about the speakeasy scene nearby….“

“Perfect experience! Exquisite wines, delicious food, attentive service. Some places should be much more hyped than they are, such as this one!

We ordered the duck pastrami and the mushroom dumplings, both were delicious! Bread was so fresh.“

“Great service and a wonderful frose“

“One of the of absolute best places we visit in Manhattan, super cute and charming. Incredibly friendly staff and very delicious drinks. The decor is super cute and my whole experience there was great 💜💜💜💜“

“Cozy wine bar, so glad we stepped by before the rush. The service is attentive and the ambiance was warming. Felt like having dinner with friends at home. Wine pours are generous. Only had the snacks, def come back to try more options. Very clean establishment. Ask for Luca, very informative on wine selection, so very friendly.“

“This wine bar/lounge was a very nice surprise. We stumbled into it and were very pleasantly surprised about the quality of service, drinks, and food. The cocktails were artfully prepared in a beautiful thin glasses (I had La Rosa, with floral gin and clarified grapefruit and rose water with a hint of pink peppercorn, and my company had a classic martini), served ice cold. We tried two tapas-sized dishes: Quesadilla De Huitlacoche came with warm, hand-made corn tortilla with scrumptious corn mushrooms (huitlacoche) with delicately tangy Oaxacan queso. Flautas de Res -- rolled up crispy thin corn tortilla with fork-tender, juicy stewed beef rib eye -- were exceptional. It was bursting with flavor, absolutely one of the best Mexican food I have eaten. The staff were super attentive, professional and cordial and made us feel welcome an well cared for. This is a beautiful place and I would definitely come back!!!“

“There were no alligators in sight, unfortunately, but the service was excellent. Emma and Lena (I think) were very welcoming. I was the first drip coffee order of the day (this was around 4pm), but they were still accommodating. Convenient location, a crisp air temperature, a carefully curated bookshop. Bread upon request. Also milk and/or cream upon request. And bathroom upon request. Good service, whether requested or not. Would recommend“

“Lovely little place to have some wine and little bites or plates.
In Spain we are used to small places where you stay at the bar without sitting having dinner, a glass of wine or whatever; it was really nice having this experience in New York.

Food is good, wine as well, a bit expensive (portions are small… cheese board is a bit poor), but wait… it’s NYC it’s kind of normal.

The guys at the bar kind and smiley.

We enjoyed a lot our night and we were lucky to find a spot!“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Food service and wine was amazing. Thanks guys!!“

Come for a glass, stay for a bottle, and enjoy delicious food too. So grateful to have a place this special in the neighborhood. Highly recommend.“

“Wow! While waiting for my dinner reservation, I googled Wine Bars near me and Brick came up as an option. With such great reviews, I had to try and it didn't disappoint.

Fernando was beyond friendly and helpful. A great selection of wine and the goat cheese was on point.

This is an unpretentious wine bar where you feel comfortable. Service was great without being overbearing. I loved it!“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“This place is so phenomenal. The bites are exquisite - each one bright and balanced. The vibe is immaculate - charming and cozy and intimate. But what really sets Elvis apart is the service. Sam, the bartender, is one of the best in the business: kind, attentive, and easygoing. Every human I’ve dealt with there has been so caring and lovely. You can tell they enjoy coming to this place to work and I can understand why. I love hanging out here. Great to hang with friends. Phenomenal for a date night. You could really bring anyone here and have an exquisite time. Really fair prices too. 10/10“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“A most wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service by Mickael, and incredible wine 🍷 list. It’s on our must visit list when in the East Village! Highly recommended indeed!!!“

“Coming to sauced brings a wholeness to that you’ve been searching for your whole life. It will shape you as a person, as a wine drinker, as a new yorker. The unpretentious front gives away when you enter and the sweet staff invites you to find your place. If you have later plans, cancel them because you won’t want to leave and all other experiences will diminish in mere thought. For any scenario, sauced is where you should be. For any night, you will be well taken care of. For a spectacular night, Pasha and Eric will redefine excellence.“

“I'm reluctant to spread the word about this amazing spot. The team maintains pleasant demeanors without exception. The bill aligns with what you receive. The food is worth coming back for! The place occupies a prime area and the staff was attentive throughout our visit.“

“Best place in New York, great people and great wine!“

“A truly memorable brunch experience. The rooftop setting is stunning, with elegant décor, beautiful natural light, and a relaxed atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy a leisurely brunch and take in the unique ambiance. Highly recommended.“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“Your Review:
