    We stumbled upon this charming spot, a few years back and have made it a point to return at least once a year, if not more. We really enjoy this delightful place!

    Nice outdoor patio seating. We enjoyed the menu served for restaurant week and it was nice to try their wine flights.

    Great place with extensive wine options at reasonable price point, and amazing staff. Cute place with great food! Love the staff, everyone is attentive, friendly, and even when busy they are so accomodating. Food is great and they have specials from 4-5pm every day! Wine list is so long, and they offer a great deal if you want to try a flight. Sommelier is excellent at recommending things. Only one restroom, unisex/shared so don’t wait till the last second! Parking in back, two spots in front and on street.

    If seating inside, be careful of the clanging from the hand dish washing noise. It overpowers the music and conversation we were trying to have.

    Love this place- staff are very friendly. I love the wines they choose for their red flight. Generous pours and the food from next door is great. Highly recommend for date night or a night out with friends.

    Outstanding food and wine, wonderful ambiance, and - my favorite - wonderful descriptions of what all the wines are, their origins and what makes each special. As much or as little information as you rerquest. For me, that makes the experience all the better!
