Four stars for the food because I have only had three dishes, but plan for more to really appreciate the rating. But the service is friendly and attentive, and the music is good. Seating and environment is relaxing. Definitely a local favorite.The bar has great options and the bartender, Julia is very good - very experienced and knowledgeable about wine, and pours great mixed drinks and keeps things from getting boring with a great attitude and takes care of her customers.A recommended Auburn local venue for sure

Absolutely fantastic! I can't remember a better dining experience (Wild Ginger in its old location). I took out of town guests, and even they, works travelers were very pleased and impressed.

Walked in shortly before 8 tonight and was told the kitchen was closed. Strangely, I could book an online reservation for 8:30? This is terrible business practice.Same blonde waitress from the bar as mentioned in the one star review below.Guess we will never dine here.

This was our go to date not spot-food and drinks are always amazing, unfortunately (maybe because we come on week nights?) our server is always the blonde bartender who is not only very unfriendly, but our last visit (and I mean last visit) she completely forgot about us entirely which lead to a very weird encounter with the server we got who must have been called in from a break? Anyway, food is great but the service will keep us away moving forward, unfortunately. Unless they can hire people who want to provide a great dining experience. Or even just hire staff who treat other humans as human beings.

Food was great, I'm going back pretty soon! I ate the rib eye steak with vegtables and mash potatoes ? it was delicious. I'm definitely recommending this place. The only thing is that the place is cold, so bring a sweater, especially if you have low tolerance to cold weather, lol! Other than that, it's a pretty decent place a little expensive but worth the food.

Fine dining prices, fine dining servings, fine dining presentation, home cooked quality. If I go back it'll be for the bar, not the food. I ordered the vegan gluten free lasagna, except it was not vegan cheese and the dish was swimming in juice. My spouse ordered cauliflower risotto and it was bland. The cocktails were delicious. The saving grace here was the bartender/waitress/host.

The food was expensive and not good. It wasn't bad but I expect the food to taste good at $30 a plate. The salmon cheese bowl was fishy, my Bolognese was watery and bland. My wife's calowflower risotto was disappointing.

Was here for the Valentine Prix Fixe menu. It was ok, I think that from a value perspective ($75, 4 course and wine pairing) it was very good. However, the overall quality of the dishes was very average, my steak was a bit over cooked, the salad was fine, the mushrooms were over cooked and dry and I don’t believe the shortcake was made in house. The backed Brie seemed to be undercooked because it was hardly melted in the middle. I’ll have to come back and order a la carte, I think the quality will be better.

Outstanding food. Great cocktails. Nice wine choices. Really busy. Some struggles on the service side. Well worth the wait. Salmon Gouda dip, swedish meatballs, Cajun salmon pasta. All outstanding.
My first time there...I truly enjoyed the wine, the food and the atmosphere. I will definitely visit again.

A little pricey, but worth it. I had the chicken marsala with garlic mash potatoes and roasted veggies,and the wine flight. ,Every bit of it was wonderful tasting. And, oddly enough I liked all four of the wine selections in my flight.I'd be more than happy to eat here again, though I wish they had a chicken or veal piccata option.

The service and ambiance were great. The menu options were a bit on the heavy side, but they were all quite interesting. Definitely worth coming back!

Terrible service - the waitress was downright rude. The food was not very tasty, but I would not have left a review had the waitress not been so horrible. I cannot imagine what we did to her to be treated so rudely. We were polite and kind, but she never even smiled at us once, was very rude when speaking to us, never checked on us once and it took us ten minutes to flag her down when we were ready to pay and leave - there were only two other tables occupied during our visit.

Based on the menu, we were excited to try this place but found the food lacking and the ambience weird with a lot of bright overhead lighting for a Friday night. The wines by the glass selection pretty limited for a WINE BAR. Most of our food was just average but definitely avoid the blackened shrimp and grits appetizer. Lastly know that there is no parking on-site so plan to park on the street and walk.On the plus side, our server was very nice and the roasted beet salad was good. Not worth a second try for me at the price point.
