Our wine flight contained 3 wines. The portions were generous and the total price + tip came to $34 Service: 5/5 Our bartender was so sweet! We didn't feel intimated at all when looking at the menu. She gave us great recommendations and we ended up going with two wine flights that didn't disappoint! She was super attentive, knowledgable, and made sure to check in on us frequently. Vibe: 5/5 The bar is super cute inside with wine glasses in the background of the bar. We came on a weekday evening and didn't have to wait for a seat at the bar. It's a relaxing envionrment to grab after work drinks or drinks with a friend!

Yelp is saying Corkbuzz has permanently closed, but I visited on Saturday (two days ago!!!) and…read morecan't verify the closure, so I'm writing a review assuming it's open! Corkbuzz is a wine bar inside Chelsea Market. While I typically find Chelsea Market a little too crowded and chaotic to be comfortable, my husband and I dropped in specifically for some wine and a snack in the later afternoon on Saturday. The wine bar is comfortable and cool. We grabbed a couple of barstools, ordered 1 wine (a Slovenian wine for me), 2 cocktails (for my husband; he liked the cocktail so much, he ordered a second), and a white bean dip with focaccia bread, that was garlicky and delicious. It was a comfortable place to enjoy a drink and a snack. I'd be happy to stop by again - if it's still open?!

They have daily happy hour and a nicely curated cocktail menu, making this place a great choice to grab a drink. The food doesn't disappoint either. The chicken wings in buffalo sauce were delicious, but the tater tots were my favorite. They were served as a mini casserole with jalapeno, cheese, sour cream, enchilada sauce. Really tasty and interesting. The service was great and friendly. Overall, the whole vibe is quietly charming. A real neighborhood gem.

It got busy around half past noon, and a bit loud, but it was a overall very nice comfortable spot. Would definitely get my seafood fix here again!

My experience: Im a…read morebig believer of transparency. When I looked online, certain dish items were offered as part of restaurant week for $45. Those dishes were the reason I went to the restaurant. When I got the restaurant, some of those dishes I wanted were taken off the restaurant week menu. Talk about bait and switch for a seafood restaurant! I asked the server if they ran out of those dishes, he said no. So not coming back! Edited review: So why didnt the server know? if the restaurant makes changes, the restaurant should update both the server and their website as well as accomodate the customer for dropping the ball. So confused on how the server doesnt know what he's serving?

We hit up City Winery recently for a Dolly Parton Drag Tribute night. It was our first time…read morevisiting City Winery since its move from Varick Street. The new space is great. It's located at Pier 57 in Hudson River Park (on the Hudson River) in the same building as the Market 57 foodcourt and several stand-alone restaurants also run by City Winery (like El Bar, which is a Mexican agave and taco lounge). It's like an entire compound of food and drink! City Winery itself has several food and entertainment areas, and on this visit, we were in the the Main Venue / Concert Hall (the largest entertainment space in their facility). The entertainment was amazing on the night we went. The standout was the drag performer Kanga Roo who is NYC's preeminent Dolly Parton impersonator! If you're a fan of Dolly, be sure to look out for her on the performance schedule at City Winery or elsewhere in the city. As for the food and drink, we had mixed feelings... at least at first. In fact, we sent back the first thing we ordered as an app--Crab and Shrimp Dip ($25). It was cold upon arrival and not very tasty. We faired better with the mains. I had the Buffalo Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Tony had the Smash Burger. Both were above average. As for drinks, we started with espresso martinis and later had one of their on-tap red wines, which they supposedly produce on site. These we all tasty as well. Final Thoughts: Despite the initial food hiccup, we had a good time overall. We'll definitely be back for future shows!

But what really shocked me was the amateurish production. The MC literally didn't know the opening act's name when making the introduction, and then walked a whole group of guests across the stage in the middle of their set. I guess to get backstage? The sound mix was truly atrocious, and I'm not really that picky but this sounded like garbage even for the headliner. And then about half the backline equipment broke, so for large parts of the performance everyone was distracted by stagehands replacing amps and cords and mic stands. Just no respect at all for either the artist or audience. Great sightlines though!

The entire store and bar is very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. There's 3 floors, the bottom floor which located another bar, the main floor which is street level and has the coffee bar and merch, and the top floor which included the Arriviamo Bar. Our server was very nice but didn't catch his name. We couldn't choose which drinks to get so we settled on the espresso martini flight which includes their espresso martini, double matcha espresso margarita, and ube espresso martini. * Espresso martini: tasted good, foam was perfect sweetness, can barely taste the alcohol * Double matcha margarita: good, matcha foam was good, you can definitely taste the tequila in this but they seem to use good tequila * Ube martini: nice sweet drink, but doesn't taste like ube at all (to be expected, but the ube cold foam on their regular coffee drinks has more of a hint of ube than this drink does) * Matcha butterfly pea swirl cake: has a nice dense texture, light taste of matcha, butterfly pea cream also has a thick creamy texture and a very light taste, perfect snack for a drink with a strong taste Overall good experience, would definitely be back to try the other drinks here and downstairs.

We were seated in about 5 minutes which was great and had the choice to sit wherever we wanted. We ended up getting the seasonal flight, a spring pea flower tart and a pistachio cookie. The food was good but it didn't stand out. A lil bit pricey as well for what you get. The flights are smaller sized than the normal drinks but that's what you'd expect. However the drinks were made well and tasted great. Loved the ube cloud drink the most. Overall a pleasant experience but nothing that wow'd me. I'd stop by to experience it at least once.

It was a fabulous setup with beautiful strung up lights lining the ceiling. While we waited to be seated we were given glasses of sparkling white wine. Our waiter told us that the space for the JBF LTD was donated by one of the JBF board members. Very cool. Eventually, we were seated at our communal table and were given a green garden gazpacho to start. It had pickled green strawberries which were surprisingly very good. Usually you throw the green strawberries out of the bunch and only eat the red ripe ones. David Kinch opened our eyes to eating this unripened fruit and I will never look at green strawberries the same! The soup was paired with vegetable beignets and a crispy vegetable chip - both were just perfect. Our next course was my girlfriend's favorite - an abalone salad nestled on a bed of romaine lettuce coupled with grilled cucumbers and an avocado-nori sauce. I loved the avocado-nori sauce with the tender abalone. The entree came next and was a succulent porcelet with the best crispy pork skins! It was served communal style which was kind of cool. There were two cuts of meat - belly and tenderloin. My favorite part was the skins. Dessert was a lovely popover with powdered sugar. Sweet, simple, and delicious. We had different wine pairings with each course and were semi-tipsy by then end of the meal. The best treat of the night was when David Kinch and John Paul Carmona came out and greeted the diners. They were both kind enough to sign my copy of the menu also. I'll be on the watch out for next years JBF pop up!

We ordered a bottle of prosecco which was lovely. We had the caviar, salmon, shrimp, truffle fries and dessert. Definitely come here, they have indoor and outdoor seating.
