“The experience was spectacular start to finish. Greeted nicely and service throughout was really excellent; paced well, not rushed or intrusive at all. really lovely. Hannah was great! We ordered from the restaurant week menu and a couple of other wise dishes (kimchi, bread and nori butter, patatas bravas). Of these the bread and butter was the least interesting, kimchi and patatas bravas were excellent. Starters -- frogs legs and hamachi, both amazing, cooked perfectly. Small plates -- soba a(with uni supplement) and celery salad, both excellent, soba was our favorite of the two. Salad was very fresh and nice. Entress, hangar steak and chicken sandwich. Steak in particualr outstanding -- cooked perfectly great sauce. Chicken sandwich is big and delicious Dessert -funfetti cake and panna cotta, both excellent. Drinks -- love the selections here boith zero proof and the wine/beer/cocktail options. Passion fruit marg and balsamic negroni excellent; sparkling hibiscus was really good and not to sweet. And the Cava by the glas very nice. The collab with brooklyn cider was a nice Basque style cider that paired nicely with the food. Overall, excellent and will be back!“

They were very accommodating for our group of six, but I strongly recommend making a reservation!The evening felt easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The wine flights were excellent and a fun way to try a variety of options. Both the Musette flatbread and the salmon flatbread were absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. On top of that, the service was fast, friendly, and attentive, which really made the night special. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you Musette Team!“

“I made the trek from Manhattan to try out Liar Liar. It definitely didn't disappoint. The food was beyond spectacular and the service was great. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles, they were the best I've ever had. The space itself is beautiful as well. A lot of original exposed brick and creative decorating that make you feel right at home. This place was built and designed with love, you feel it the second you walk in.“

“Omg, where do I begin….

The ambience and vibe amazing!!! Food was delicious, drinks were fabulous. Had a cheeseburger, included was melted cheddar cheese and mushrooms. Also came with a salad which was sooo good. This place made thee best chocolate martini.

Olivia, the server was also amazing, so sweet and attentive. She made the experience even better, couldn’t have been happier. And the bathroom was very clean and smelled so good with a scented candle.

You will not be disappointed…. So happy my manager recommended this place.“

“I absolutely love this place! Its my go to spot to go to after a long work day or grabbing a drink w friends. Even super cute for a date night. All of the staff are super nice and make you feel right at home. Mehdi is an absolute ray of sunshine guaranteed to put a smile on your face if youre having a rough day. The wine selection is amazing and the bites are super tasty. The grilled cheese w the ragu is a must try! 10/10 would recommend! :)“

“Vanguard is an absolute gem just steps away from the chaos of Times Square. Tucked on a quiet corner, it feels like slipping into a little dream world — warm, cozy, and instantly welcoming. The atmosphere is intimate without being stuffy, the kind of place where you can actually hear the person you’re with, relax, and just enjoy your glass of wine.

The service was truly outstanding: kind, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful without ever feeling pushy. You can tell they care about what they’re pouring and about making you feel at home. It’s the perfect spot to escape the noise, sip something delicious, and slow down for a moment in the middle of NYC. I’d come back in a heartbeat — Vanguard is the kind of place you almost don’t want to share so it stays your little secret.“

“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.“

“With Others has been my favorite wine bar in NYC for quite some time. I love stopping in with a few friends for a glass or bottle of wine and some snacks, or booking their Sunday wine school for a fun weekend adventure. I hosted a birthday party in the backyard a few weeks ago. Everything was perfectly handled! Lauren and the staff helped me pre-order wine and food and kept everything running smoothly. Would highly recommend for parties!“

“The place is a vibe. The atmosphere and esthetics is everything. It has a great vintage, cozy, bookstore mature feels with these bold eclectic open frames. Food is good. Well presented but lacks flavor. Where the food lacks in the drinks make up in style. Service is attentive but not amazing. Overall. Great time. Great vibes. Would recommend and go again for the feel, not the food.“

“Cutest little neighborhood wine bar! The staff is very knowledgeable about all the wines they have available. (Shoutout to Austin and Tiffany.)
My friend and I stopped in on a Monday night after dinner. They let us try several different wines in order to make our selection.
Very intimate/cozy vibes and reasonable prices. Would be a great place for a date night!“

“We had a nice time, and the food was good. We were however told to leave as there was another reservation waiting (we were hence offered a drink at the bar which never came), and the doorman got angry at us for opening the door in the wrong way.
So would have been perfect if not for those two departure hick ups sadly.“

“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.“

“We've walked by Cello many times so happy to finally had a chance to go for dinner. The host and hostess took great care of us, letting us sample wines until we picked just the right bottle. The cheese plate was generous and delicious and we highly recommend the flatbreads which were amazing. The atmosphere and vibe was warm and inviting. A great spot to catch up with friends over drinks or date night for dinner. We highly recommend it and we will be going back very soon!“

“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!“

“Great small and quaint bar next to the 7 line this was like my fourth time frequenting this wine bar. The bar itself is very cozy and with unique decor. Besides serving many wines they have cocktails with unique names and beers. We were there for happy hour and had wine with a spread. We also ordered a charcuterie plate. We enjoyed playing a card game and stayed until the jazz performers played their numbers. We really enjoyed our night.“

“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.“

“First time visiting Zagaya's and it was lovely! The food, service and ambiance were excellent.Very welcoming staff! I'm not a big cheese eater but I really enjoyed the cheeses we ordered. Loved the Apple Cider Tej (warm)! Perfect for a chilly night! Will definitely go again the next time I'm in Brooklyn.“

“The food at Bar Bira was absolutely delicious! everything we ordered was packed with flavor. Service was great, friendly, attentive, and helpful without being pushy. I’m not a wine expert, but the staff did a great job guiding us to something we liked, which I appreciate it.“

“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!!!“

“This is a pretty interesting spot! It’s one part wine bar, one part restaurant, one part art studio and showroom - the wine is the star here imo, and it’s worth checking out for a drink and a little bite. The food is yummy for sure, but definitely felt too expensive for what it was and how much of it you get. I’m planning to go back for the wine!“

“Really cute wine bar with comfortable bar and table seating. Cocktails and wine on happy hour with dollar happy hour oysters. Lots of great charcuterie options! We had oysters, an espresso martini, and happy hour white wine. It was cozy and comfortable. Really liked visiting here“
