The chefs/owners really care about the food here, clearly made with attention and thoughtfulness. Wonderful fish of the day, beautiful chilled soup, calamari (although it didn't need all that rice). Amazing house-made chocolates at the end. Good wine selection, but not unusual. Service is confused and unhelpful though. Bar was incredibly noisy, with a "happy hour" (til 9 pm) going on where people were chanting and shouting as if at a soccer match
This was my first visit to this hip wine bar and I was impressed. I am so glad we followed the servers suggestions and branched out. I am not a gnocchi fan, but it was simply superb! Not at all doughy, but soft and filled with a riccota apricot mixture that melted in your mouth. Risotto balls, garlic shrimp and scallops rounded out our nosh. Both the cocktail and wine selection made our night.
Best for happy hour or brunch. They have a great hidden back patio with a bocce ball court and wine is always lovely.
Seems to be getting progressively worse. Last time we were there it was very loud and the food downright bad.
Great restaurant with a neighborhood feel, offering a nice selection of wine and specializing in small plates. Food was served promptly by a young server who seemed nervous, but was very tasty. Service at the bar was even better.
