    Had a very nice business lunch at La Marcha and I would recommend it to anyone. We tried all of the tapas available at lunchtime and enjoyed them. Had seconds of the very tender octopus, mushroom croquettes, and brussel sprouts. The dining room is small but nice. We were right next to another group, though I imagine we were the louder of the parties. One waiter for the small room, so there was some initial waiting before we got our orders moving, but he was very pleasant and took good care of us.

    Rosenblum is a great place to come for wine and snacks. No real food served but the cheeses, breads and other go great with the wine. Also has salads and pizzas which are okay. Great service and reasonably priced.

    My best friend and I made a reservation at Wine So Cru, and from the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The staff opened the door for us and warmly welcomed us before seating us near the fireplace, which added to the cozy ambiance. The atmosphere here is incredible—chic yet inviting. Throughout our visit, the staff checked in on us just the right amount, attentive without being intrusive. We each enjoyed wine flights; I went with the champagne flight, while my best friend opted for the Chardonnay. Both were fantastic choices! We also tried the olives, which paired nicely with our drinks. There was a pop-up on-site that looked interesting, but as I'm vegan, we didn’t try it this time. Overall, Wine So Cru left a great impression, and I’ll definitely be back soon!
