The most thoughtful wine bar I’ve been to in the city. Elegant with intelligence, and great because it is, not because it’s performing at greatness.

Wine and food were curated with full intention and proper discernment, and I so appreciated that. In execution the lamb skewers were great but maybe a little overdone but sooo yummy with the pickled onions. I’m coming back. Thank you, Luke, who advised me on my pairing tonight.

Tried a rose and the black women flight. The wines were just okay. Waitress didn’t explain which wine was which, didn’t explain the cheese options, didn’t appear to want to be there. To be fair she was the only waitress in a small space but her disposition wasn’t great. The cheeses were good but the bread was excellent, warm and well seasoned. Despite the service I’d visit again. It’s a cute date spot.

Walked in on a Thursday around 7 and it was quite busy. Our waiter did well to get us a table after initially putting us on the high seats along the window- however their service left a lot to be desired.

The atmosphere was a bit crowded for our taste as you’re seemingly on top of others, but that’s NYC for you. We ordered the salmon flatbread, Caesar salad and hummus board. I had two glasses of Pinot Noir. The food was absolutely fantastic, albeit quite pricy. The food honestly saved the experience.

Where I was disappointed was the service. Only one person managing the room which was fine given the size, but he paid no mind of us throughout our meal and I had to practically beg for a second glass of wine. Possible he was having an off night but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

My advice is to avoid this place during peak hours and try for an early happy hour.

In the area and decided to grab coffee. Cute and quaint little spot. Nice relaxing r&b music in the air. I'd recommend as a quick stop or grab and go. Pastry options and coffee.

Musette is the perfect day-to-night spot—by day, it’s a cozy coffee shop where I can actually get work done, and by night, it transforms into a gorgeous wine bar with the best vibe. The wine flights are a must, they are a great way to try multiple wines. The staff really know their stuff and are always ready with great recommendations. The pinchos, burrata, pastries, coffee and wine selection are a hit. Musette always delivers.

Made a reservation and showed up on time. The hostess greeted us and sat us down. Moments later, she told us that they seated us at a different party's table that had arrived after us, had us leave the table we were already seated at, and then seated the other party. We were then told, "there was a problem with our system". And we were told the wait would be 10 minutes. There were 4 other open tables. Rude, incompetent, lazy. We exited and waited for a car to pick us up. Minutes later she came outside asking if we still wanted a table. We said no.

It's been a long week. I wanted to go on a nice date. I paid car fare to get here and car fare to get back, empty handed. Unfortunate.

Been before and loved it. However today I made a reservation around 5:30pm for 7:45pm and got an email confirming we were all set. My date and I get there at 7:45pm and are seated. Only after we’re seated are we told to get up because someone else reserved the table. The hostess/waitress then told us that the owner doesn’t do reservations online well and that there was no table for us at all, specifically because we booked after 5pm. There’s nothing on their website about this rule and my date and I were extremely embarrassed by this whole situation. Suggestion to owner is to fix the reservation system.

I’ve never been here in the evening hours, but stop in occasionally during the morning for coffee and a pastry. Always very welcoming and cozy, and often the owner can be seen chatting with other customers or making drinks.

Wine by the glass selection is awesome, loved every one. Great variety and so much fun. There simply aren’t enough wine bars like this - I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

This place has a decently large wine list. My friends and I all got the same wine flight to try and it wasn't my favorite, but that's the risk when you try something new! The second glass of wine I chose off the menu they were out of, but the server found a similar bottle of the same grape variety. He even bantered with us about wine and gave some wine knowledge, which was very kind and personable

We only ordered the cheese board, so I'd be interested in trying more of the food and updating my food evaluation. My gripe with the board was the three giant hunks of blue cheese (I think it was Roquefort). It was so strong it put tears in my eyes. Luckily, I was drinking a zingy wine, so it went well enough together, but I was a bit surprised by the cheese spread and the cohesiveness of the board overall.

I couldn’t speak more highly of this place. Food is fantastic, service is the best, and the atmosphere is perfect.
