The beau and I hit this cozy little spot before a show. While new to us, apparently this hidden gem has been here for quite a while. I'm glad we finally discovered it. We enjoyed happy hour wine and some absolutely delicious food. The cheese cigars were intriguing to us so we ordered. The beau enjoyed them more than I but they were a nice starter. We had the pear and Roquefort salad which was perfectly dressed and the cheese was so tangy and creamy. A perfect "pearing" lol. We followed this with the chicken shish. The chicken was very tender and seasoned so well. I loved the hummus and tzatziki accompaniments. The food is beautifully presented and comes out fairly quick. It seemed as if this was a one man show for the front and back of the house as we never saw another employee. Kudos to the gentleman who pulled this off so well! We will definitely be back.

We popped into this wine bar just to grab an after lunch pour & Irem was the absolute best! She helped us find great wines & we talked for almost 2 hours with her! It's such a cute spot. & the music is wonderful!

Adorable simple wine bar! Stopped by this little spot last night on our way to dinner. It's a charming place with a good selection of wines! Can't speak to the food because we ordered olives and nuts to munch on with our glasses of reds. Service was good even as we sat in the window spot which wasn't the easiest for the bartender to get to. Great vibes and would have stayed for another glass if we weren't heading to dinner!

One of my absolute favorite hidden treasure restaurants in Manhattan. The menu and wine options are all sensational. The best staff and a real small town feel in the heart of mid-town.

Want to sit with an empty glass while the bartender goes on a meal break? This is the spot.

A cozy wine bar run by a couple of charming Turkish chaps. Has a short but well-chosen wine list and it is far more reasonably priced than most in Manhattan. Çok güzel!

Pleasant surprise for the area. After hunting for a place that has enough varied reds by the glass, we came across this gem. Super small and did not have any food here but definitely worth a try. They have a small bar area as well as few small group tables and an outdoor shed out front. The highlight is the wine menu. Many places have started to reduce variety of wines by the glass. This place has enough variety from different regions that you'll likely find what you're in the mood for. The crowd will throw you off as the area tends to have more theater district and/or out of towners. It has more of a bar that serves wine as opposed to a "wine bar" if that makes sense. Enjoyable but definitely a different vibe. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Only had reds but can say they were priced fairly and very enjoyable.

What a perfect hidden gem!!! Part of me almost wants to be selfish and not write about it because it's so perfect I want to keep it to myself but it would be mean of me to keep this from others. The wine selection is lovely, the food selection is a perfect array of snacks and full meal options all delectable. The service was like being in a friend's home and the cozy, warm environment just wraps this up in a perfect bow. Put this on your list of must visits!

Was in the area with a friend and stopped by for a glass of wine. The experience was fairly average but what hurt was paying nearly $20 for one glass of wine. The wine was good, but not $20-a-glass good. You’re better off finding another location with more reasonable prices

Tldr: decent food, wine, bad servicePierogies are great, cheese portions are small for the cost and pork sliders are a little dry but taste good. Service though was short, unfriendly and left an unpleasant last impression. It was rushed(even though the restaurant was empty and 3 hours before closing on a sunday), she did not check how we were or made any recommendations, and took the checks before we left - then forced a bigger tip than originally left (which was originally less than 20%). Would've returned if not for the service.
