No wastage from open wine or over pouring. I have never seen a setup so perfect for both the consumer and the seller. But what really knocked my socks off was the food! The Study only has a cold kitchen but managed to produce a fantastic mini meatball and warm bread spread for $14 and a Medium St Helena Coterie board $25 that really hit home. I drank two glasses of an Argentinian wine. Wing Man Gary (USAF pilot, retired) is on his pain meds so could not partake. I made sure to drink his share of wine as well!

Basically everything I could ask for from a lounge. Plus, the owner was kind, helpful, knowledgable and attentive. The wine tap is a fun time. You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine. Wines I tried, remember & recommend (you truly can't go wrong): - Passione Sangue di Giuda dell'Oltrepo Pavese - Chateau Pilet Bordeaux - Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay the decor is vibrant, rustic and cozy. so much wood. even more art! And lots of different styles of seating including booths, leather chairs, bar seating and small tables. accommodating for lots of group sizes! They offer happy hour Monday-Friday and trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. All around a vibe! Definitely worth checking out.

A mix of many flavors and types. Small seating area and seat yourself if it is not busy. You can make reservations though. Brooke was awesome. Great suggestions on food and wine. Very friendly and helpful. We tried the carpaccio to start. Very fresh and tasty. My only ding would be it was a little too much balsamic for us. We like to taste the meat and the balsamic kinda covered it up a bit. Next we had the chorizo stuffed tomatoes. Delicious! Perfect size for 2 to share. Lots of flavors. Really good. Solid wine spot and I'm a really chill, non central spot.

Date night with my lady - tried to make a reservation on OpenTable but they were all booked up. We…read moreshowed up right after they opened and were given the option to sit at the bar or take a table that we might have to give up when the reservation arrived later - took the bar. To drink - the "Osaka Mule" and the "Shiso Heavy". Both were good, though we recognized that the Osaka Mule had a slight edge on the Shiso Heavy. Neither of us are normally sake drinkers so this was nice and refreshing for us - the Osaka Mule had nice hints of cucumber and the wasabi salt on the rim was a huge hit with us. To eat - we ordered the gyoza and the miso udon. The gyoza was incredible - an explosion of flavor unlike anything else I've had in a long time. Truly unforgettable and honestly the best part of my entire weekend. The miso udon was good as well - my partner thought the udon might've been just slightly overcooked. We split both and then decided to order the gyudon as well afterwards. The gyudon was also very good - daikon radish was a great addition to the flavor! With respect to the atmosphere/ambience - it's a small place, but cozy. The music was nice - the bartender allowed me to browse some of the records. They have a great collection and I enjoyed listening to several of their selection! It was a little pricy for me, but ultimately, to be expected of such a great experience. Will return again!

Casual is accepted but I would opt for a little more on the business casual side in the evenings. The drink flight was a whole experience; in the best way possible. We then ventured to their "cocktails" which is all sake based. I opted for the Sangria and Pete got the Mule. Both are highly recommended to try! We decided to share a plate so we could try another location after, but let me tell you.... The Gyoza is so good I had to close my eyes and chew as slow as possible for fear of the flavor leaving me. Did I mention they received a spot on the Michelin guide this year?! They definitely deserve it between their rotating menu and creative cocktails, this is definitely not a one and done location. Bring the expectation and leave satisfied.

The fish tasted good, but I expected a lot more for the price. On the bright side, the frozen espresso martini was absolutely bomb and was easily my favorite part of the meal. Definitely recommend getting one if you stop by! Unfortunately, the dine-in experience left a lot to be desired. Our waiter seemed completely disinterested in being there and had a pretty bad attitude throughout the meal, which made the service feel uncomfortable. Maybe we just caught him on an off day, but it definitely impacted the overall experience. If I were to come back, I'd probably just get takeout and skip the dine-in experience. The food and drinks are worth trying, but the portions and service could definitely use some improvement.

I love the flower concept, and the sandwich and charcuterie offerings are such a fun addition. Their cold brew is fantastic and has become one of my favorites. The wine is priced a bit above average, but honestly, given the atmosphere, unique concept, and the realities of running a small business these days, I completely understand it. The bluegrass-inspired music adds to the charm and creates a relaxed, welcoming environment. I've become somewhat of a regular and familiar face over time because I genuinely enjoy spending time here. The only challenge is that during the Florida summer months, it can be a little harder to fully enjoy the outdoor seating. That said, it's still one of my favorite local spots, and I always look forward to stopping by.

There was a live DJ playing, and we were hoping to sit on that side of the restaurant to get more of the full nightlife experience, but unfortunately we weren't able to. We ended up enjoying the outdoor seating, though. It had a cute, quaint feel that fit right in with downtown St. Pete.
