This place is awesome. Great wine list (I asked for the driest on the menu and the Pais I got was…read moreperfection), and they had a food pop-up when we went and do them pretty regularly. If they do, go early! They'll sell out. Still delish though. They're playing The Smiths and Air, they have a pool table and cool people crowded around it, it's like the definition of a cool bar. But it's not pretentious, and they have sweet little frog details everywhere you look, frosted on the wine glasses, on shelves, in the window. They have an identity, but also the classic features of a bustling bar where you don't exactly have enough room to hang your coat and bag without invading your neighbor's space, but it's fine. It's cozy and you're having a good time. I glimpsed a lovely back patio and apparently they have live music sometimes next door at the Tadpole, so I'll be back soon.

It can get quite busy here, so it may be difficult to find seating. They ask you what type of wine you like, and let you try a few different ones before settling on a glass. I was only given two wines to try though, and would have liked to have sampled a couple more.

Sauced is such a gem. The food, wine, and ambiance were all amazing, but what truly stood out to me…read morewas the service. We were served by Mehdi, and he went absolutely above and beyond. He was so kind and warm and genuinely treated us like he knew us personally, which added so much to the cozy, homey vibe of the place. The space itself is really cute -- perfect lighting with red tones, exposed brick walls, and such an intimate, inviting atmosphere. We ordered the charcuterie board and it was one of the best I've ever had. It was packed with an incredible variety of meats and cheeses and was more than enough to generously feed our table of four. At a lot of wine bars, I leave still feeling unsatisfied, but this one was filling and so well done. I had the Riesling and it was amazing -- the perfect balance of sweet and dry. And the real star of the show was the grilled cheese with ragù. So delicious. I'm from LA, but we will absolutely be back every time we're in Brooklyn. Highly recommend & cannot say enough about this place! It was one of the highlights of our trip :)

He didn't utter a single word to us in the entirety of our exchange, which gave the performative-giving space (with call-to-action posters of already-done actions) an even more negative tilt. The crowd feels seismically out of place for a bar in this neighborhood. Feels very Greenpoint esque. Drinks were on low end of mid; not sure if I should blame the bartender or the bar. The margarita deluxe tasted like a margarita lite, and End of an Era was mid. The dance floor in the back has a lot of potential, but I won't be able to witness it if its front-end continues sucking as much as this presentation.

We were seated…read morepromptly at 11am and were invited into a cozy corner of the restaurant where I was able to soak in all the artwork and decor. Our server Sam was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of recommendations. We ended up going with all of his favorites which were the sugar snap peas, the bigeye tuna and gnocco fritto, white asparagus and soked sablefish, the soft-boiled egg and blue crab and finally the steelhead trout. Sam was wonderful to also suggest us really delicious, salty, fresh and wild white wines to pair with our dishes. Everything we had were perfectly cooked with bold flavors. I could definitely taste the care and detail put into every dish. For the smoked sablefish dish, the sauce was so delicious, we asked for some toasted in-house sourdough to soak it up. The pavolva dessert at the end with the surprise paired wine was the perfect ending. I can see why this restaurant is well loved and feel very lucky and grateful that we could have an opportunity to dine here. Thank you so much Sam and team for a wonderful time! This is my most favorite restaurant in NYC!

The atmosphere was super intimate and cozy, and the service was paced really well throughout the night. Some of the dishes definitely could've had a little more flavor or seasoning, especially compared to how hyped up the restaurant is, but there were still a few standout plates that made the meal memorable. My favorites were the clams, the tuna, and the rice dish,all three were so simple but done really well. The tuna especially tasted incredibly fresh and balanced, and the clams had such a light, clean flavor that worked perfectly with the wine. You can tell this is one of those places focused on quality ingredients and a more understated approach to food rather than overly heavy flavors. Overall, really glad we went and it's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you love sharing plates and trying a bunch of different dishes throughout the night.

The bar (in the former Spuyten Dyvil space) is almost comically different in look and feel from SD. It is elegant and has an almost suburban feel. I walked in 29 seconds before they opened and they told me so, and I went across the street to walk around bc I was meeting a friend and by the time I went back they were packed (this annoyed me...slightly....). :-/ However, we were given a table, even though there was some confusion at first as to whether we could have one if we weren't eating. But we did have food! And they were friendly, and the service was unexpectedly focused and tight. I'm not a huge wine guy, but I enjoyed the glasses of wine I had here. The menu was lovely. The small plates were very good, but Rude Mouth has taken *more than a small cue* from Bar Jambon, in Gramercy, the wine bar connected to the Michelin-starrred restaurant Casa Mono - in their wines and their small plates (ham, bread, butter, etc.) Who can fault them, really? Are you gonna hate on every rock band that wants to sound a little like My Bloody Valentine? Enjoyable, serious place, good wine, solid food, nice vibe, no real complaints, worth your time.
