The kind older woman whom her name I never asked was quite wonderful. Delivered me and my date extra "ambiance" and was very communicative. The older man behind the counter who greeted us, had a certain level of a charismatic greeting that put us both at ease during our first time in a wine bar as petite and elegant as this one. Finally, the food. We ordered the baked Brie, ravioli, chorizo, and zucchini, finished with the s'mores cake slice. The ravioli and the chorizo absolutely stood out. Beautiful light flavors that went perfect with our wine choices. The chorizo had a warmth and a very rich flavor, and the other options, including the Brie, felt light behind the mask of their white wines. This place surprised me, which doesn't happen often. In all the flavors I've cooked, and all the chefs I've met. I can tell that someone in their tiny little kitchen must truly care. Excited for our return

Not rubbery, not chewy, and definitely not some sad, limp noodle pretending to be seafood! The breading was light, golden, and crispy without overpowering the calamari itself. So good, in fact, I made it my main course! That's how calamari ought to be done. Let the seafood shine and don't bury it under a winter coat of breading! The service was absolutely outstanding, which always makes a great meal that much better. And I can't leave out Celeste behind the bar! My wife loves a good espresso martini, and Celeste makes one that keeps her coming back! There's something to be said for a bartender who knows how to make a great cocktail and make it memorable.

We were seated within 5 minutes and our server was attentive and nice. Cozy ambience with low romantic lighting. Great for a date. Love all the beautiful flowers in the outdoor garden near the entrance. Food was very tasty but also very rich and heavy. Portions are large so you may want to order a lunch portion if you're not bringing a huge appetite. My Chicken Parmagiano was delicious but 3 people could have split it (I wasn't super hungry). My partner's Alfredo (he added shrimp) was too oily for his taste, but it was good. We both felt sluggish and needed a nap after eating which is not our norm; we generally eat lighter dishes like salads. I recommend that the restaurant start adding a birthday dessert or something special for guests celebrating their birthday at the restaurant.

The person waiting on the table next to us seemed great. The problem is, there are 6 or 8 Italian places within 2 miles of each other in Burlington, so there is quite a bit of competition. There are others that are a much better value, and one in particular that, while around the same price, has much more variety and much better food. This is one that after giving it two chances, my wife and I agreed we just aren't interested in visiting again.

We were greeted with a friendly smile by the bartender upon entering and handed a menu. They had specialty cocktails that all sounded delicious, but I opted for a classic dirty martini as it was Friday after a long day at work. It was a little dark when you first enter, but it adds to the atmosphere. They have plenty of seats at the bar and a variety of searing selections near the bar. The outside patio was super cute so we chose to sit outside. There is an upstairs loft type thing with seating also. Food is provided through a delivery option from an attached restaurant. It was a little challenging to understand the ordering process as my friend was told to order "for here" and type the word bar and I was told to choose delivery and type bar. I ended up having to pay a small delivery fee for them to walk it over, but we did notice the delivery menu is larger than the pickup menu. The Caesar salad was actually really good. The sweet potato tots were great with the honey butter. I did not care for the chili shrimp. My friend chose a chicken wrap and house chips and she enjoyed it. We stayed for a few drinks and enjoyed talking to some regulars. It never really got crowded which is a good thing for us. The service was attentive and quick.

I inquired about the wine tasting for $5.00 and was told you would receive 2 tastings of white wine. Perhaps they do reds on a different night but I didn't ask. There is a written wine list of reds and whites to order full glasses of whites or reds which should suffice. I asked folks what they were drinking and there were many red wine-o's ha ha. The Bordeaux drinkers were happy with their choice and the Malbec drinkers were satisfied with their choice and commented the wine was soft. I chose a cold Chenin Blanc mostly cuz I haven't seen it on a menu in the Triad for quite some time. It was quite good great nose of sweetness but dry enough to be a good all round table wine. Its similar to Pinot Gregio but not dry or tart. I think when I'm back in GSO I will stop in to this unique wine bar again as it was a nice experience and everyone seemed very chill and friendly.

Those not familiar, this is a Russian imperial stout by North Coast Brewery out of Ft Bragg, California. Something I haven't had since... well, I lived in California.

They have an array of specialty contrails and some solid liquor choices including buffalo trace's limited purchase bourbon (eagle rare/ blantons). Food: the Brussels, sandwiches, and salads looked amazing (neighboring patting got those). We split a few things: Brisket: nit the best I have ever had, but solid choice. Maybe not for the $, but it was fall apart brisket. Wings: these are crispy fried with sauce on the side. A little hard but good. Not my favorite. The poutine was by far a favorite with the melty cheese and the gravy was delicious. We also had the street corn and with the lime was pretty good as well. These 4 things were plenty for the 2 of us with a little extra. We didn't mind paying the extra because of the experience.

This time, it recommended Machete. I'd never thought of using ChatGPT that way! And it did a great job because Machete was excellent! I'd never even heard of this place before our friend mentioned it. Machete serves tapas-style dishes so if you're expecting regular-sized portions for a full meal, this might not be the place for you. We all started with cocktails since they had so many interesting options. I got the Beats & Antiques which had a great balance of tartness and sweetness. Later, we switched to wine and chose a Greek white wine. I'd never had Greek wine before but we all enjoyed it! I usually prefer sweeter wines and this one wasn't sweet but it had wonderful fruity flavors and was very refreshing. As for the food, everything was excellent!
