Interior is cozy, nice warm colors with modern interior design - it was a full house when we fined in, but you could hear the person across from you just fine. Nice array of cocktails and a solid selection of wine. We had a pair of cocktails and a glass of wine each, nothing fell short. Food was in excellent serving sizes, well seasoned, cooked perfectly. We order a wide variety of the menu including the arancini, beet salad, and the lamb skewers. We'd happily eat all of it again. Overall a very satisfying experience, just down the street from us!

You can pick out your little fruit or snack, from the grocery store, to go with your wine and they will add it to your tab. I ordered a glass of Criterion Pinot Grigio and the Charcuterie Plate Casalingo. Inexpensive, simple and tasty. Self Serve Wine Bar too. The staff was quite nice and helpful when I said it was my first time visiting. They didn't rush me. A good amount of people frequent the place too in just a matter of an hour. If you weren't paying attention, you would walk right by.... Get your wine tasting on and then go shopping.... Across the street from hotels, dog park and Smoke and Mirrors.

From the owner: Choose from 16 self-serve wines while you shop? Absolutely, plus 12 beers on tap.read more

There are a bunch of different cheese plates, but I tried the cheese monger which is basically dealer's choice. I can't remember all the wines we tried, but between both the reds and whites, no one at our table had a complaint. The inside is cute, but seating does fill up quickly on Saturday night. I noticed there were bar seats too, but would try to come when they open. The staff that helped us were helpful and really kind! Will definitely come again.

Brittney and John were so helpful in explaining all the items and where they were sourced. The music and indie decor made for a very peaceful and relaxing Sunday evening. We had a glass of Chardonnay which was smooth and crisp paired with a cheese plate adding Salami. The Cheese was distinct with many of their items coming from well known distributors. The cheese plate was paired well with pickled green beans, peanuts, jam, and bread. We hope to be back to try everything else on the menu.

This former mini golf country club space has transformed into such a cute and classy neighborhood watering hole, while maintaining some of the golf decor. With a large and varied draft beer menu (our group had IPAs, stouts, seasonal ales, and even a cider), plenty of wines (including NA!) and an expert sommelier, and bar snacks for all tastes, I can see myself ducking into Henceforth for any sort of drinking. Their upstairs area had more tables and intimate spaces, but our group took up the comfy couches downstairs. Their staff is incredibly friendly, and just generally seem happy to be there. They also host monthly activities on their calendar, which sounds like a great way to gather!

The service is great , friendly and knowledgeable. In the 1st floor is the brewery, the craft beer bar and couches in the front. Upstairs is the wine bar. Best part, no TVs.

Happy hour margaritas were just right, I could have ordered more tacos, but with the two that I did order and the soup I would call it a satisfying meal.

We booked this rooftop in hopes for a special 40th bday celebration experience…read more Unfortunately no communication was provided in advance that our party of 6 would not be would not be accommodated with no resolution. When our party arrived at our time we were told no space was available and there was no timeframe for our party. We talked with manager whose tone was very rude(unprofessional) and he provided no support or resolution. We were told if we waited that potentially they can fit us in however we had to leave our number and no response, communication, or resolution was given. It sad that we entrusted and booked this place weeks in advance for a bday celebration that was poorly managed and highly disappointing. I wish I could give zero stars!!!

But we were able to snag a reservation morning of. It's a super cute spot. Feels like you're inside someone's house almost. It's on the smaller side, but it's got a bright and clean aesthetic. It gives some Instagram-able vibes. Our server was good, despite it seeming like she was both making all the drinks and servicing all of the tables downstairs (a lot for one person). The menu has a good mix of sweet and savory options, breakfast items and more lunch-like items. There were also a couple of specials. A good amount of choices, but not an overwhelming amount (the just right amount). I opted for the eggs benedict, which was quite tasty. Perfectly poached eggs and crispy bacon with a delicious old bay hollandaise sauce. And it was very filling. The espresso martini was great. The Bloody Mary was a big disappointment. They also offer bottomless mimosas and bottomless bacon. All in all, a nice experience. I'm looking forward to coming back here for happy hour and/or dinner.

Very promising when we came in, nice atmosphere, good service, nice staff. But then the food came…read more Nicoise salad great, but, as I do when I think there's a good chef, I asked for eggs Benedict with medium eggs. They came runny as hell, so I popped the first one, took the yellow goo to one side, and ate. The second didn't even have the white congealed on one side. The Hollandaise was bland, tasteless. The fingerling potatoes I didn't even get to eat because they took the whole plate away, when I complained, and then they gave me two eggs, I told them I only needed one, all by themselves in a bowl, overcooked to hell, no muffin, no Canadian bacon, no sauce, no potatoes. Only an angry chef treats people that way, and they charged me for the Benedict anyway. I paid, tipped, and never again. Not safe to dine Chez angry chef. Don't go there, and besides, so overpriced.

We had a reservation but there was a short wait, so the hostess directed us to the bar. When we were finally seated, we found out our drinks had been comped. Such a thoughtful touch! We started with the BBQ'd Maitake spread which was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. It was served with French baguettes. We also had the lamb sausage dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. I had the Rumaan to drink which paired perfectly, and for my main, the slow grilled lamb. All were outstanding. I closed out with the Filfil cocktail and chocolate macarons, which were the perfect ending. The food was flavorful and consistently top tier, the vibe was great, and the service was truly one of a kind. Warm, attentive, and genuinely memorable. Five stars without hesitation!!!

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt thoughtful and welcoming. Our server, Josh, was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind. His recommendations helped guide us through the menu and made choosing our dishes feel effortless. Every plate that came to the table was beautifully balanced and deeply flavorful. Compliments to the chef and the entire kitchen team--each dish felt carefully composed and satisfying. Highlights for us included the oysters Rockefeller, shrimp toast, and a perfectly prepared crispy skin rockfish. The coconut rice is really something special. Even the desserts were memorable; the orange dreamsicle pie and chocolate pot de crème were a wonderful way to end the evening. The restaurant itself is charmingly decorated, with tables spaced comfortably apart so the dining room feels relaxed rather than crowded. It's the kind of space where you can settle in and really enjoy the evening. My partner's cocktail and a lovely Cabernet Franc were both a pleasure to the eye, nose, and palate, pairing beautifully with the meal. All in all, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We left feeling grateful for such a thoughtfully executed evening and are already looking forward to our next visit.
