Well.... just to be honest, not sure how I feel but, I came to this place some months ago and it…read morewas kinda new and just building it's customer base and had such a great experience cuz the owner who is always out and about came over and sat with us and spent a lot of time explaining stuff to us, so that made it a good experience but when we came back today and the place is still not busy but there was a group of people that weren't black and the owner, again was out and about and he seemed to not with the one black girl at the bar but he did do a lot of mingling with the other people, but then after about 15 minutes, a decent size group came in so I thought to myself, maybe he never came and greeted us because he was getting ready for the group until 2 white women came in and sat at the bar, then he left the group and spent a good amount of time speaking to them and honestly, that's when I realized, he just not speaking to us. And the thing about us going there, was to support and for the experience but now, I felt ignored and honestly there are plenty other places I would have rather went but to be a small business, you should acknowledge ALL your customers! I won't return here because I thought he was a genuine person but what I feel now is that he does not treat ALL customers the same and I want no parts of that. Nice cute place, but for me... I like experiences.... not obviously feeling ignored.... but the server, savanna was great and she is black, so not saying he racist but maybe he just prioritize certain people

How you serving collard greens with turkey tails and no cornbread? Also given they are a "winery", I found the copied and poorly cut paper in a leather binder as a wine list laughable and limited. The decor and vibe were giving along with the chicken. However, since I like to drink when I eat not likely to have a repeat visit.

We did come late, which had to do with scheduling conflicts so our server seemed standoffish to begin with, but completely understandable. I'd be the same way. After a few minutes, she warmed up and her personality came out, very sweet! Our round of drinks were: Lychee Love, Apple Cider Margarita, & Campire Biscotti. All exceptional. For our first appetizers, we ordered Short Rib Hummus and Lamb Meatballs. These were great starters, and built anticipation. For my entree, I ordered the Wagyu Cheddar Burger and then, my auntie said the magic words "I think we should try the focaccia bread." If I would have known the Foccacia Bread (with whipped butter and honey) was going to be that superb, cocktails and 6 orders would have been all I needed. Don't get me wrong, the Wagyu Cheddar Burger was scrumptious, but the Foccacia Bread was outstanding. The kitchen was closing and I HAD to ask for more--mind you, I hate doing that. It was THAT good. Will be back on Wednesdays for the $10 cocktails. Overall 9.5/10

Since we were a fairly large party we were seated right in front, so I only had a glance of the remaining tables. Our server Imani was Fantastic! She was very attentive, friendly and warm. She made us feel welcomed and treated us as though we were regulars. As a matter of fact All the staff treated us like family. I only took photos of my plate however everything look appetizing and delicious. The falafel was good, however even better with the sauce on the bottom. We also had hummus with fried chickpeas on top...nice crunch. The salad was delightful (maybe a touch more dressing) loved the pop of pomegranate. I ordered the Salmon (though some of my broccoli was a bit over charred) was delicious. For dessert we all had the crème brûlée. All in all, everything was executed perfectly, appealing to the eyes, very flavorful and scrumptious. We were so impressed we asked to talk with the chef!

They light a new candle on your table and it was fun guessing how many hours it takes for the candle to melt all the way down. We came during dinner time and sat inside. We shared the Arancini, usually comes in 3 and they made 4 for us, since there were 4 of us. Very delicious and we all just took our time savoring the flavor. So good and it is also GF made with rice flour. Next I had the Umbricelli con Sugo d'Anatra. House made spaghetti with duck meat. Noodles were firm and didn't twirl on the fork easily. But it was really good. There were plenty of duck meat shredded and chunks. The cherry tomatoes were a bit tart to me, so I didn't eat them all. For dessert we shared the Tortino al Cioccolato Valhrona, like a chocolate lava cake. Very soft and rich chocolate. Had orange pieces throughout. Came with coffee gelato. Also shared the Vanilla bean panna cotta. Smooth creamy and light, reminds me of crème brulee. Had lots of cherries with crumbles of cookies. Both desserts are GF. I actually like the chocolate more... couldn't resist. They cleanup and give you a new plate and or silverware after each course. They are very good at keeping your glass of water refilled. Very friendly staff.

After catching a play in the city, we headed just a 10-minute walk away to this wonderful…read morerestaurant and wine bar for dinner, and it completely blew us away. The inside of the restaurant is so nice and cozy, though they also offer covered patio seating if you prefer the outdoors. We sat inside for our 5:00pm reservation for a table of four, which I booked easily ahead of time. What truly sets this place apart is their incredible accommodation for dietary restrictions. Because I have celiac disease and am listed as a vegetarian on OpenTable, the host thoughtfully brought a separate vegan menu right to our table without us even having to ask. Their main menu also has multiple items clearly marked as gluten-free or gluten-free available, and best of all, they use separate fryers to prevent cross-contamination. I let our server know right away that I have celiac, and she reassured me that the kitchen would take every precaution to make sure my food was entirely safe. We started off with the arancini, which is made gluten-free in a separate fryer and was absolutely to die for. For my main course, I had the gluten-free radiatori tossed in a spicy vodka sauce, and it was so good that I ate every single bite. To top it all off, we shared two desserts between us: the panna cotta and the flourless chocolate cake, both of which were delicious. To drink, I enjoyed a refreshing Aperol Spritz followed by a glass of the moscato. From the top-notch allergy safety to the amazing drinks and food, everything was excellent. This is a must-visit spot, especially if you need gluten-free or vegetarian options!

Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

I…read morespecifically gave the address and specific department and even called the day before to verify all the information I gave. They still couldn't get it right. Hours went by without the flowers being found. I had to call several departments speaking to different people just to locate the flowers myself and then beg a facility receptionist to help. They ended up calling maintenance to drive a cart to take it to the right department which was an entire block away. This flower shop also needs to keep Joann away from new clients. At first, she comes across friendly but that wears off very quickly. She gets extremely rude, sarcastic and impatient. When I called the day before my delivery to confirm the details, she picked up very annoyed and ran me off the phone saying "I have it all down correct now stop calling!" Aside from the terrible customer service, I wouldn't have felt the need to write a negative review if they had just dropped off the flowers where I asked and tried to confirm several times. Nice flowers - terrible experience.

I am especially glad they did away with the reservation deposit. It makes planning a visit much easier. Most recently, I stopped by for their all day Sunday happy hour, which was a great vibe. They have expanded the food menu since my first visit, and everything I tried was solid. The empanada was my favorite, the quesabirria was really good, and the chicken torta was delicious. On my first visit, I only had the guacamole, which I also enjoyed. The decor is beautiful and intimate, creating a great atmosphere, and the music is always on point.

We tried the Jushu which I loved the glass it came in and the drink was great but definitely not mango-y. My friend ordered the tamale and I tried just a bite to see. We think it's not very spicy and wish the tomatillo came through more. For me as a vegetarian, I think this is a great place to get drinks but I wouldn't come here expecting a full dinner. Which, I think is the point with their small menu! Everything came out super fast, everyone was very attentive. It was early on a Saturday so it was very quiet but they had good music playing. Definitely a cute addition to the neighborhood!
