We arrived around 3:45 on a Monday. We planned a tasting before going to dinner. The bartender had called out with an emergency, and the substitute was due to arrive in ten minutes. The man who working in the kitchen brought us water and we told him we would just wait. We are so glad we did! We were the only people there so we had a great conversation with the bartender. He even gave us complimentary hummus and pita since we had to wait for him. He said it’s the best hummus in the city and it was certainly delicious!

We each got a wine flight. You are limited to certain wines because it’s a small place. He can’t just open a bottle of super expensive wine for a flight, which makes total sense to me.

I would absolutely return here!

Great wine selections. Space is small but right sized. Server did a great job keeping up with the 9 or so customers. Started with a grenache from Spain. It was okay. Switched to a cabernet sauvignon from Wente Vineyard Central Coast California. Wow. It was excellent.

Though I drink a lot of wine I am as far from knowing anything about it. I feel like an idiot for talking about something I am not qualified to speak about. It was
delightful. I like it. I would order it again so that is all that matters.

The space is dimly lit and quiet. I would consider this a romantic location. Also something I know nothing about.

I felt really uncomfortable—they gave me the wrong change, maybe because they thought I was a tourist or something. I just wanted to visit a small local place to feel relaxed, but the experience was the opposite.

A nice quiet spot to relax and have a glass of wine where you can actually hear your friends speaking to you! A hidden gem just off 9th Ave and 44th St in the Hell’s Kitchen theater area. They also offer tapas but we did not have food the night we visited. Definitely worth a stop in!

Like the name suggests, this is a cozy reprieve from the surrounding midtown chaos. Love to hit it up during HH, or after/before a show. Perfect spot to bring your Playbill and dish with other theatre-goers

I sat at the bar and the two bar /staff guys sat there and where chatting together the whole time. Kind of distracting. Wine and food was good. Next time I’d suggest sitting at a table

Uger was excellent and provided Ana amazing experience! You need to check this place out and visit during the Happy Hour. I tried this Pino Tage from South Africa that was delicious. If you are near 9th and 44th you should definitely check this place out for a tasty glass of wine!

Friendly bartender, quieter than a lot of places in the area, great pre-theatre stop

Violet Fisher

The wine bar had an impressive selection, and the staff was knowledgeable about pairings. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a quiet night out. It does get crowded on weekends, so I’d recommend going early to secure a table. A perfect place for wine lovers.

This place is FANTASTIC. Wine is lovely, ambiance is cozy and quaint, and the staff is delightful. Highly recommend a stop - must get the avoganush and pierogies!! Although near Time Square, a place locals will adore!
