I took a friend here to celebrate her birthday and it was such a nice vibe. It was intimate, the staff was super friendly, the selections of wine was expansive and the charcuterie/ bites menu were very good. I ordered their sauvignon Blanc on their menu - was quite delicious. We had also ordered the pick 4 charcuterie and it came with so much and it was so beautiful. You can see the pictures for yourself! I feel this is such a hidden gem in Mount lookout - people need to come here! They do their best to source their wines from smaller vineyards because the quality is just better where you don't end up with a headache or high blood pressure at the end of the night LOL. High quality stuff here!

Their wine cellar (in the back) has a great selection of curated wines from around the world. We stopped in to pick up a bottle of Pinot Noir, but also ended up taking home a rosé.

It's spacious and the lighting is romantic. I love the decor. Contemporary and simple. Their menu is tapas style. Their drink menu has everything. Especially wine. They all pair well with the meals. We ordered: Drinks: Renato Ratti Italy Barbera La rioja Alta Tempranillo La Font de L'Olivier France Carignan Red Schnooner Malbec Dinner: Shroom pasta Spanish flatbread Charcuterie-Manchego cheese Chefs rotating seasonal cheese (goat) Prosciutto with honeycomb and salty olives. We ordered the charcuterie board first. Oh wow! The cheese with the honey comb tasted so good. Especially with the prosciutto. Next we got our dinner. Both the flatbread and pasta were great! I was not expecting my pasta to have some tomatoes. It wasn't bad but I thought it didn't need it. All my wines paired well with the meals. The night did not end there. Our server was so kind and attentive, she served me a birthday wine and dessert! Wow! So grateful and it was so good! What an awesome experience. My best friend and I had a great time and enjoyed our meals! I can't wait to come back. I definitely want my Mr. to try it. I know he will love it!

Cameron was super informed and easy to chat with about our preferences and curated the 3 glass wine flight for my partner, which was super appreciated! While we were there we saw two other ladies also try wine flights, and saw that those were also customized to their tastes. They currently have a special on Wednesdays where bottles are priced as their case pricing, so you save some money buying the bottle compared to buying one on a different day. We definitely plan on coming back and trying more soon! Great place to stop by after work for a glass of wine and conversation in a comfortable space with relaxing music. Thanks for having us!

First of all, we LOVED the Grateful Dead inspo reflected in the menu and decor. That in and of itself made us want to come back! We were already a little hungry but didn't want to spoil our appetites, as we were going to a birthday dinner, so we split the Mediterranean Plate. It was delicious and gone in seconds! It was the perfect dish to tide us over. Other plates looked delicious, as well! We will definitely have to come back to try more. My mom got the Scarlet Begonia while I got the Casey Jones. We loved our cocktails. They also have an extensive wine menu. I had a class of Gavi and it was great. It's nice that they had an N/A section on their drink menu too. We will definitely be back!

We sat at the bar for dinner, during Restaurant week and decided to order a few items off the regular menu. The bartender Matt was great and extremely helpful. He answered all my questions about specific food items and also checked in with the Chef to make sure I could eat certain things. It is a very cute space, I did not go upstairs, but the bar area is very nice. We had the salmon with broccolini and roasted red peppers which was pretty good. We also had the hummus plate - the hummus and pita chips were good, although I didn't really like the quinoa only because it has a very heavy vinegar on it. I did not eat the pierogies because they have cheese in them, but my friend did and really loved them! It is street parking, so be mindful of that.
