"The selection of wines is of course extensive, but the food left a lot to be desired. The pizza was particularly bad, it had obviously been frozen and was served to us lukewarm, the cheese not melted. I had already taken a bite of one piece before realizing how underheated it was and the waitress took it all, including the piece I started back to heat up. It returned hot and the crust was like leather."

"This was a bit different than I expected. This is really a place to go for wine tastings asThey have a special and an easy way to get your own wine tasting going. Food Says small plates- but even the entrees (at full plate prices) were the size of tapas. The vegetable with my meal where bell peppers-- which by them selves rarely constituteWhat should be a vegetable in a restaurant. The Ambience of the place is nice, a great place to have a couple glasses of wine and appetizer with a date. I wouldn't recommend it for a evening meal."

"At odds with recent reviews citing a decline in quality (evidently following change in management), a variety of dishes shared among three people were never worse than good and were sometimes inspired. Among the latter, I'd eat the shrimp and the lentil salad again in a heartbeat. The service was attentive but not fawning.
The only quibble was the high-pricing for the wine selection, but likely that's a necessary evil in this particular neighborhood."

"staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines, also informed us that food was bought from local farmers markets. We got there kind of early at 7 but place really picked up around 8. The waiter forgot one of our entrees and was so apologetic as was the whole staff for the rest of the evening. We simply just asked if was coming and they immediately took it off the bill which was not necessary at all.
Great place"
