Lovely wine bar in Cleveland Park! We dined in on a Friday night with a party of six. They had seated us in the front window, but the sun was really shining so they were very accommodating, and helped to move our table into a shadier spot. We started with a round of cocktails and appetizers. My husband enjoyed the apricot Manhattan and I tried the Key West daiquiri. The lavender and pea cocktail was also very refreshing. The hummus platter featured four different hummus's. The harissa was our favorite. The Burratta salad and tart flambe was nice to share. We proceeded with ordering three bottles of wine and a few entrees. The petite fillet was delicious. The spring gnocchi was flavorful and the chicken Milanese was a nice portion. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a slice of Dulce de Leche cheesecake with a candle! Service was very nice. Clean bathrooms and short walk to Cleveland Park Metro. read more

Little Blackbird is phenomenal! I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Great service from super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. A large wine list that they know back to front and can recommend wines from based on your food choices and personal tastes. An elegant but not ostentatious interior. But first and foremost, incredible food. There have been a few items I was unsure of when reading the descriptions, but I have always been blown away by the thoughtfulness and balance that comes with each or their dishes. Of note, their seared scallops that came with a savory and sweet white chocolate sauce were one of my favorite dishes of 2025. Not to mention, the prices here are reasonable and not unnecessarily inflated like other places that market themselves as wine bars. I hope the success here signals a shift in the wine bar model toward unpretentious but thoughtfully designed dishes for a reasonable price. Overall, Little Blackbird is an incredible restaurant that I think deserves more recognition. I will certainly be back soon. read more

I feel like at most wine bars, food is an after thought. But not at Little Blackbird- the food was phenomenal and the pairings were spot-on. The service was exceptional- always attentive but not intrusive in the least. One piece of advice- try the playful pairings even if you don't think they could possibly work- the ones we tried were a revelation! read more

We have come here a couple of times. It shares ownership with Sababa, and I suspect they share a kitchen. Still, the menus are different, and they have very nice wine and drink menus. Both times we have come, the service and attention have been awesome. The food is very good, and the ambiance is very nice. We tend towards sababa a little more but Little Blackbird is a very nice restaurant. read more

Little Blackbird - Wine Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I didn't realise brunch was only for Sundays, so my friend and I ended up just doing dinner here. It was relatively free the night I went, and the hostess and waiter were both super friendly with recommendations! The pork chop was surprisingly so good with its caramelisation, side fruit and veggies, and sauce. I loved the gingerbread martini with the cookie and whipped cream drink itself. Baklava was apparently alcoholic and tasted good. The vibes here were pretty chill but also somewhat nice - they had some winter decor up too when I went. I'd definitely come again to try some of their other stuff and maybe their fun wine pairings! read more

Charming smaller restaurant with friendly service, a very good wine list and delicious food. Once you find street parking, you can choose from several small tables on the street or comfortable seating inside this very attractive restaurant. There were three of us having dinner which consisted of Gnocchi, Chicken Milanese and an outstanding pork chop with caramel sauce. This restaurant really is a neighborhood gem. The noise level is high, but that is the only negative thing that I can think of to say. read more

I host a women's bar hop every other Friday, and this was our first night exploring Cleveland Park. I picked three spots for the group: Nanny O'Brien's, Atomic, and Little Blackbird. I had no idea Little Blackbird would completely steal the show. I used to have a little wine bar in my neighborhood before I moved to D.C., one of those cozy spots with big chairs and no reservations needed. I assumed Little Blackbird would be that kind of place. It is not. It is so much more. When we arrived, the place was packed and they were fully booked. I figured we would just move on, but the manager, who was absolutely phenomenal, took my name and number anyway. About thirty minutes later, she called to say they had a table for us on the other side of the restaurant. It was technically a different concept, but they still served the full Little Blackbird menu. That gesture alone said everything about their service. Once we sat down, it only got better. Their playful wine pairings are such a fun twist. I went with the Cheeto pairing, which was phenomenal, and a few others tried the Reese's and Smarties ones. We learned they even do a Girl Scout Cookie pairing in March, and I already know I will be back for that. The staff are passionate about wine and happy to let you sample even the delicate, higher end pours. It feels like they want you to have a genuine experience, not just a glass of wine. Even though it was a bar hop night and food was not really on the plan, I ended up ordering the gnocchi, which changes seasonally. The fall version was incredible, served in a pumpkin squash sauce with pumpkin seeds and a parmesan cream that sounded odd but worked perfectly. Every bite was rich and balanced. If I could give six stars, I would. The food, the wine, and the service were all phenomenal, but what really stood out was how much fun they make it. It felt playful, elevated, and just special. Little Blackbird made our night and will definitely be part of future bar hops. read more

Little Blackbird - Playful Wine Pairings - Cheeto - Wine Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Note: I'm a bit stingy with my "5 star" places, reserving that rating for when my proverbial socks are knocked off, but Little BlackBird is definitely up there. One of the best to be in that space and on its stretch in Cleveland Park. Have been coming to the space since it was a couple other different places. Food: The family we were with really liked her Traditional, house "Tart Flambee" -- it's a thin, flatbread pizza and her Scallops (not pictured. Our wonderful server also noted you can double the Sea Scallops (getting 4 for $18 instead of 2) to make it a main course (do this, it's the better deal) I really liked the warm freshness of my hearth roasted garden veggies appetizer and my wife loved her hummus platter, which we all nibbled on. The croutons were so addictive! I also liked my Gnocchi main quite a bit, but I also think it would've popped more with a pass of fresh ground pepper. So, ask for that. I know I will next time. My wife loved her Scallops main, and honestly they were done to perfection. We got the suggested wine pairing for our mains--the family we were with isn't drinking, which Little BlackBird was very accomodating of--and both of the suggested wines were excellent. A nice date night spot, or just a "nice meal out." read more

This wine bar is a 10 out of 10! They offer wine pairings with everything on the menu. The service was impeccable and so was the food. We went on NYE and the ambiance was so festive!

Little Blackbird is one of my new favorite DC staples! The food is so delicious-- a friend and I split a bunch of the menu items including the hamachi, halloumi, and scallops. The scallops were SO good we ordered seconds. Little Blackbird sources a variety of different wines and they sell wines by the bottle or glass with various ounce pours and we tried a white Burgundy, an orange wine, and another red wine. Our server Yousef was not only knowledgeable but an excellent "host" and treated us like family. Highly recommend for all but especially wine enthusiasts! read more

I am so sad we haven't been here before (in four years you would think we'd have tried it!). But now that we have, I can confidently say we will be back. First off, I want to say that our server, Eva, was fantastic. She was attentive (despite being so busy!) and had so much charisma. She helped us figure out what wine to get and was just all around amazing. But let's talk about food... to start off, my boyfriend and I ordered the traditional tarte flambé which had bacon lardons, onion, and Gruyère cheese. It was so simple but flavorful! And he ordered the rose while I ordered orange wine. He loved the rose and I wish we had taken a picture of it because he was obsessed (next time!). For entrees, I ordered the pork chop which had a bourbon caramel, roasted potatoes, and charred apples. It was savory yet sweet and had the perfect amount of umami. Plus the pork was cooked perfectly. He had the coq au vin. That sauce is heavenly. Eva was very sweet and grabbed him pita (side note, the pita was awesome) so that he could soak up that sauce. It had olives and mushrooms as well. For dessert, we got the butterscotch pudding and the chocolate brioche cake. The cake was probably the best thing I've ever had. The chocolate ganache underneath was so decadent! The Chantilly cream was a nice light touch especially because it is otherwise very rich. The ambiance is so wonderful and very European-esque. The mood lighting was so romantic and the wall decor was also really fun too! I genuinely can't wait to come back. read more

Delicious wine and food spot in Cleveland Park. I miss Bindaas, but this is definitely a unique spot to the Cleveland Park strip which doesn't have a lot of wine options. I like that they serve tasters (3oz.pours) to pair with their tapas menu. They also have a lo/high dessert menu with things like twinkies and candy. Not stuffy and the staff is very knowledgeable. They also have a full bar with cocktails. The food is delicious. It leans on small plate offerings, so think smaller portions. Not cheap, but I think it's worth it. read more

Reviewing after our second visit, and let me say, it was just as we remembered. Phenomenal!! We recommend Little Blackbird to everyone. Outstanding service, Youseff was very helpful and friendly. But so were the rest of the staff. I really felt spoiled on my birthday! The wine is fun, you can get a half glass and try a few. My pork chop was excellent, as was the daily sausage with Persian spices. And don't skip the butterscotch pudding, unless you've had it here--you haven't tasted anything like this. read more

Really enjoyed my experience here the other day. The decor is nice and they have outdoor seating. Our waiter was very friendly and explained the menu and wine pairing options since it was my first time. I had the scallops and hummus plater and a glass of white wine. Everything was really tasty but you do not get a ton of food for the price, so just know that going in depending on what you get. I would definitely go back for a date night. read more

This restaurant offers a truly unique and charming concept: a single entrance that splits into two distinct dining experiences--Mediterranean and Global (Little Blackbird). The ambiance is absolutely adorable; the decor and setting are very cute and create a lovely atmosphere for an evening out. I dined on the Global Cuisine side, Little Blackbird, and while the setting was wonderful, the food was disappointing, unfortunately leading to a less-than-stellar dining experience. I tried two different main courses, neither of which were enjoyable: Hearty Bronzino: This dish was overwhelmingly dominated by the taste of wine. The wine flavor completely masked the delicate flavor of the fish, making it unenjoyable and difficult to eat. Autumn Gnocchi: This dish suffered from an extreme imbalance of herbs. It was heavily seasoned with either thyme or rosemary--or both--to the point where the herbal flavor was completely overwhelming and made the gnocchi practically inedible. I would recommend coming here for the unique, cute ambiance and perhaps just stick to enjoying a glass of their wine selection or possibly trying a dessert. However, based on my experience, I would completely avoid the main courses until the kitchen refines the balance of flavors in their savory dishes. I hope to return in the future to see if the food improves because the location and setting are truly special! read more

Little Blackbird - Brazino - Wine Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I didn't particularly enjoy my meal here. I stopped by because it's the closest Resy restaurant to me ($100 amex plat credit), and I can get a perk from my dining club. I dined alone as a walk-in and sat at the bar. It was a full house. Service was fine. The ambiance is very date-night friendly with the dim lighting. I ordered the branzino. It came out scalding hot. It was also bland. My main complaint is that it rests in a bit of liquid, which makes the dish into a sort of fish soup. It took away the best part of grilled fish, which is the crispy skin. It was average at best. read more

Had a nice dinner here. The wine list is very extensive as you would expect with some unique and interesting options. The menu for entrees is a bit limited and pricy but we did enjoy the chicken Milanese. Also tried the chocolate bread pudding for dessert, which was very rich. Cute atmosphere with friendly service. read more

We've been coming to this location since it was a few different previous restaurants. Good thing it remained a restaurant through all the changes, unlike some of the other storefronts in that block. Anyway finally made it here for a birthday dinner (we usually keep it quiet so can't say how the restaurant would handle special occasions). Menu's not extensive but there are beef (petit fillet) and fish (bronzino) dishes which are basically all we needed. Also got the roasted veggies as the entrees don't come with sides as well as butterscotch pudding. Good food, well prepared. None of the desserts are to my liking however (definitely not a pudding fan) so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, a charming neighborhood restaurant with a nice intimate interior and somewhat different atmosphere from its sister restaurant - Sababa - next door even though the two are connected on the inside. read more

Great food! Great service. Came early so noise level manageable. Glad we went. Will return. A neighborhood gem.

Little Blackbird was on my radar, so I was excited to finally try it. It's so cute and cozy, with a lively atmosphere. It was packed, so service was slow, though our server was friendly. Recommendations are definitely needed and it was busy until right up until we left, which was just before 10. We shared the halloumi, warm olives, some charcuterie, the socca, and the branzino. We loved everything, but the halloumi and branzino were the standouts. Both were incredibly flavorful and I'd order again in a heartbeat. Our wines paired well with our meals. I did not order dessert, but my friend enjoyed her order of single malt butterscotch pudding. I'm always on the lookout for a charming wine bar with delicious food and Little Blackbird is definitely on the top of that list. read more

This is an adorable little spot that I want to love more than I do. My best experience was sitting at the bar and getting walked through which sparkling wine I wanted to order, with tastes, and having a delicious flatbread. However, the next time I was there they had accidentally given my groups's reserved table away (we were not late) so 6 of us were crammed into the storefront window. (They only seat larger tables on the Sababa side, btw, though you can get the LB menu). My restaurant week experience also fell flat. Firstly, the restaurant week meal cost a couple dollars more than it does for the same items on the regular menu (which is not available). We did get a slice of pate as an amouse bouche but still felt slightly bamboozled. The server didn't understand the wine add-on and insisted that if we did that then it wouldn't include dessert (it did). The food was fine--both salads were good. The coq au vin was tender but didn't taste like it had been cooked in the wine sauce all day per tradition. The branzino was well seasoned and came with a few cherry tomatoes and olives. It's important to note that the entrees do not come with a carb/side. Would be nice if it came with a bit of rice or potato! (No sides are offered separately either). On two occasions I tried a non-alcoholic beverage and they were the worst ones I've ever had. The g & t tasted like straight tonic water, and the $15 n/a white Bordeaux tasted like white grape juice. Very disappointing considering the price. read more

Have been eyeing Little Blackbird for a few months now and decided to check it out last night. I arrived at the bar around 5:15 on a Friday night - there was one seat towards the other end of the bar taken, and within 20-30 minutes, the bar was full (it has 8 seats). I had a reservation, but prefer bar dining often so I was glad to be able to grab a bar seat. They were kind enough, when I told them my husband was joining me, to lay a menu on the bar area next to me to "hold" the seat for my husband. The bartender, Kyle, took excellent care of us all night. He started me off with a complimentary glass of sparkling and two swee-Tarts - I think one of their "playful pairings" they tout. It was an interesting texture experiment, for sure, although I don't know how often I'll pair my sparkling with candy in the future. :) Wine list - it's a wine bar, and overall, a pretty good list. I would love to see at least one more sparkling that isn't a prosecco, but that's a personal preference. Good overall selection of both reds and whites, otherwise, including some grape varietals I've never heard of, and the ability to order a 3.5 or 6 oz glass - now, that's how a wine bar should do it. Kyle was also great at recommendations and allowing us to try things before committing - another good hallmark of a wine bar. On to the food. It was the end of (extended) Restaurant Week, so I ended up getting the restaurant week menu and my husband ordered two additional dishes for himself (we split my dessert) - which ended up being the perfect amount of food. I enjoyed my burrata, and he really enjoyed his flambe tart. But we both agree that the star of the show was my bronzino. So succulent, and so well-balanced with the white wine sauce, herbs, and tomatoes and olives (the latter of which I gave to my husband). He had the hanger steak, which was cooked to a perfect medium and really enjoyed. We both split the butterscotch pudding for dessert. Overall, a great experience. Now, this is a small restaurant, and many tables don't have a whole lot of space in between them. By the time we left around 7:30pm, it was packed, so definitely ensure you have a reservation or plan ahead and get there early to snag a seat at the bar (first come, first serve, and many patrons were turned away since the bar was pretty much full the entire night). We will definitely return to explore more of the wine list and other items on the menu. read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience! After a day at the zoo, decided on an impromptu dinner out & so glad we did. The wine pairings are exceptional - we chatted with Sarah, one of the GMs & head of the wine program, who chatted with us about wine & the restaurant - and only proved how dedicated Little Black Bird is to creating a culinary experience! We tried this weeks specials - which included a Chardonnay from Long Island, aged over OYSTER shells!!!! What a treat - so unexpected and truly delightful! I can't even list highlights because every dish & pairing was beyond incredible. Scallops, stuffed mussels, traditional tarte,.. The star of the show - the pork chop with the bourbon caramel!!!!! And - everything is marked so being GF was easy! read more

Loved our experience here! Delicious food and service - we have been here a few times and it is always great! The decor is a little moody, a little retro...hard to pin the vibe, but whatever it is, I love it. Lovely, friendly staff as well. read more

I went here a few weeks ago with a friend and I don't really have anything negative to say but also nothing sticks out as extraordinary. I'm not sure it's some place I will return. It is intimate, cozy and beautifully decorated. You definitely feel like you are somewhere special, which is fun. We did have wine that was recommended by our server and we both enjoyed our glasses. We had four dishes (which was the perfect amount for the two of us): the Hearth Roasted Haloumi, the Squash Gnocchi, the Hearth Roasted Bronzino, and the Little Gem Lettuce Salad. Haloumi is always one of those things I'm scared to make at home and this dish convinced me that I can make it happen at home. My favorite was the Little Gem Lettuce Salad. It was crunch and refreshing. read more

I offer a rave for Little Blackbird. My wife and I tried it. We wanted to come back right away -- instead, the following week, we went to their next door sister venue, Sababa. Here is the compliment. Every table seemed to be people on first dates. Except they were not. They were just having a good time. My wife and I, for example, were married just about three decades ago, and we had a pre-event party down the street at a Vietnamese restaurant which closed long ago. The couple at the next table, we chatted with a bit, which also is nice, suggesting people are friendly and having a good time. They had been talking baseball as the season closed, and that was what we had in common: they had been married five years, I think the guy said. Throughout the venue, there was that buzz of conversation indicating people are enjoying themselves. I have weak EQ, I am assured by others and personality tests, but I can be analytic: I recognize when a crowd is happy, and with every table occupied on a Wednesday, this was a crowd that was happy, and that is the best indication of whether a business is doing well. The important note for anyone considering Little Blackbird is that it is a full restaurant. I had a bit of concern whether it would be good for dinner. It is a wine bar. But the menu has an ample range to select from, the quality is high, and the quantity is filling. There are wine bars out there that offer snacks and small plates. I've been to those. Little Blackbird is more substantial. I would not hesitate to come here to eat, and, for that matter, I'm not sure I would choose it if I were interested in sitting at a bar to drink (I don't do that too often anyway, and I keep reading about how Americans, especially younger ones, are not drinking as much as before). We had the salad, the chicken, and the gnocchi. Each of these dishes was excellent. The ingredients were fresh, the preparation was competent, and the result was what you would want to keep consuming. We had enough leftovers for my wife the next day. (I went to work; she had it for lunch.) The service was unobtrusive, the best type. The guy offered a tasting pour. He explained all of the bottles were for sale. The prices were not, as they are some places similar to this, outrageous. I could see shopping there. I had an orange wine, which remains rare on menus other than for Georgian cuisine. You probably would figure this out as you considered coming here. The other big advantage they have is being a block from the Cleveland Park metro stop. I am always looking for places my wife and I can meet up. I come straight from work, she drives from home, and we dine together. That saves the time that would be wasted if I went all the way back, then we came out. Tiny note. The entrance inside has an invisible slope. Be careful to avoid a fall. read more

Disappointing. While the decor, ambiance, and service were all excellent, the food missed the mark for me. The dip sampler was just ok-- none of mezze had that fresh home made taste and the veggies were down right sad looking. The burrata was just ok but the accompanying apples just didn't go well with it. My Bronzino was down right bad. I took two bites and it reminded me of tilapia. Very much appreciated them taking it off the bill--another nod to the service. But overall, there are better options for food. read more

The service, atmosphere and food is delicious! My friend and I have eaten here 3x within a two month time period. This little Cleveland Park jewel is connected to Sababa and offers bar seating or table seating throughout. In the back corner is the open hearth where you can see some of the dishes being cooked. We first attended during Restaurant Week and took advantage of their prefix menu and the suggest wine pairings. The servers and bartenders know their wine and are generous with letting you taste the wine. They do offer cocktails and they have specials on rotation. The dessert menu only has 3 selections and the best currently is a trio of ice cream scoops with flavors inspired by Elvis and topped with candied bacon. It's all so good that this has become a nice haven for us in Cleveland Park. read more

We went to Little Blackbird for Sunday brunch and were so glad we tried it at the urging of friends who accompanied us. Blackbird is adjacent to Sababa a favorite of ours for middle eastern cuisine, so We were eager to try its sibling next door. Our waiter Xavier was very attentive, gave detailed descriptions of items in the menu and steered us well for a memorable meal. I ordered the stuffed mussel entree which is a new addition this Spring. It looked like an amazing burst of colors in the soup plate it came in. The mussels were perfectly cooked and the surrounding asparagus and pea puree was delicate and divine. I had the bottomless mimosas which are made with a delicious French champagne. Highly recommend both. My husband had the grilled Bronzino and commented it was the best he'd ever tasted in the dmv. Thanks Xavier for a lovely introductory experience. We will be back! read more

I finally made it to Little Blackbird while I was cat-sitting for my friend in the neighborhood. I enjoyed tasting a variety of small pour wines from around the world and came away with some new favorites. The surprises continued with the buttery smooth scallops served atop a creamy sauce spiked with white chocolate. This is a classic example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" because the ingredients worked well together to make new flavors. We also ordered the branzino and hangar steak with their recommended pairings. Dessert was butterscotch pudding with real scotch in it, which tempered the sweetness and added complexity to what I've come to know as a cloying dessert. Everything was so good that we booked our next reservation to celebrate a birthday with friends while we were waiting for the check. read more

My wife and I ate here during our July 2025 visit to D.C. We talked to the waitress and with her help had 4 small plates rather than an entree. This worked out great! We started with a Fattoush salad. This fresh and tasty. We then had Haloumi. This was served hot with tomatoes and olives. This was fantastic! We then had Seared Scallops served over a corn puree with mushroom pieces. The scallops were perfectly seared and the puree was a perfect match for them. We then had a Shrimp tart flambee. This was delicious also, with a mild jalapeno kick. We had cheesecake for dessert which was decadent in a really good way. So all in all, we enjoyed all the individual plates and really enjoyed ourselves. read more

A fantastic new addition to the wine scene of D.C. Little Blackbird is a cozy but hip little wine place in the Cleveland Park area. It's not a big place and it's quite popular - you'll definitely need a reservation - but it feels cozy all the same. Service is also fantastic - you can definitely tell that the servers are trained on wine as well as the menu. The wine selection here is fantastic, and the food selection here is good but a bit inconsistent. One of the appetizers we had (the scallops) was amazing but a fairly small dish, whereas another one of the appetizers (the halloumi cheese) was equally delicious but significantly larger. It might help to ask the server what to order to make sure you get the right amount of food. read more

Little Blackbird offers a nice selection of elegantly plated and creative dishes.  Our first course was duck pate, honeynut squash, croutons and a very delicious charry balsamic.   I am not a pate person so it is hard to judge.  The dish definitely looked beautiful and I am told it was very tasty.   Next came the hearth roasted pear with gouda, pecans and pomegranate seeds.  I liked each component separately though it was kind of hard to get everything together at once.   The seared scallop was really well prepared and came with the interesting and silky combination of white chocolate and cauliflower puree.  We were lucky enough to sample a new creation by the chef which was reminiscent of the flavors of a caramel apple.  This all really complimented the duck.  Lastly, we enjoyed the butterscotch pudding with real scotch and a very cute little birdy shortbread cookie.  The space itself is pretty small but seats a fair number of diners comfortably.  The service was very helpful and friendly.  There is street parking available all around. read more

Great and cozy wine bar/restaurant in Cleveland Park - was a perfect warm respite after our group went to Zoo Lights I really loved that they had a different theme for luxury wine every night - when we went it was "California Cool" and three people in our group enjoyed their Pinot noir recommendation for the night. I on the other hand had a delicious orange wine! Food wise, the menu is small but has a lot of gems. Stand outs for us was the house made sausage of the night, roasted halloumi, and burrata. We also enjoyed the Mediterranean platter at the end of the night as something to munch on before going home. If you're thinking of Little Blackbird -go! But I would highly recommend you make a reservation as this tiny space is busy. Important to note that they can't accommodate more than 4 in their dining room due to size constraints- so if you have a larger group they may seat you in Sababa next door and offer Little Blackbird service and menu. read more

The food was absolutely amazing! We came for small bites and drinks which was perfect. They had recommended wine pairings for each dish and the appetizers were so yummy! Our favorites were the hummus platter and the sausage but they all shined. Next time we're in the city, we are definitely going back read more

I came here with my friends and the vibe is so fancy! I literally felt like I was on a reality tv show eating at some fancy place. But anyways, the scallops were delicious, they were so soft and the white sauce underneath paired so well together. The Mediterranean dip platter was good, the dips were all pretty good. My favorite was the red one. The dairy one was alright tho. The veggies to dip with seemed a little dry. Idk if they are supposed to be like that, regardless they still tasted good. The wine was also good, and I don't really like wine but my friends wanted wine so that's why I drank it. They do have cocktails too. The service was amazing they were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. They opened the wine in front of us and they even let us taste it before we fully committed to the bottle. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for a fancier spot that isn't toooo expensive. read more
