Such an amazing selection and mix of whites, reds, and sparkling. Patrick provided me a sample of an amazing Pinot grigio that was crisp, light, and had an amazing hint of honey suckle and pineapple. Wow! I immediately decided that I would take this home along with a sauvingion blanc that he also recommend! For two bottles, it only cost me $26! Most of their wines are under $20! Such a great deal! They have free wine tasting on Fridays at 5 pm, so in a couple of weeks, I may have to check it out!

Most of the seating is on a second-floor covered terrace, though there are tables inside as well. It has interesting city views of the University Hill area over South Square towards the "hypodermic building." There are parking options on all sides. The wine list is nice, but I like trying their specialty cocktails. These tend to have interesting additions such as tea-infused syrups and other creative ingredients. I've always had great sandwiches here at lunchtime, particularly the Santorini (a take on a gyro) and the Yacht Club, which is similar to a club sandwich but brightened up and made scrumptious by apricot jam. Their side of Caesar salad is always nice and crisp, with just the right amount of dressing and flavorful cheese shavings. The staff is engaged and attentive without going overboard. There's really no better lunch experience in the area on a nice warm day when you can just hang out and relax with a varied, delightful menu.

As always the bartenders were spot on and personable as well as willing to help on the menu selections. Drinks (A Manhattan and A Dirty Martini) professionally prepared and presented.

Large and meaty with just the right smoke. We even "dared" a small Caesar Salad in these trying lettuce times. Confident Firebirds was prepping properly in the back. Next time at Southpoint give this location a try!

She was so kind, attentive, and welcoming. The hostess also went above and beyond by helping my mom, who uses a wheelchair, with the front doors, which was greatly appreciated. We ordered from the lunch menu, and the prices were very reasonable. My son of course devoured his chicken fingers with French fries. My dad and sister split the burger and Mac and cheese. They said it was good. The only downside was that our food took quite a while to come out. I ordered the BLT Salad with a loaded baked potato on the side. The salad was fresh, but it had way too much dressing, so next time I'll definitely ask for it on the side. Overall, the friendly service made a lasting impression, and I'd be happy to give Firebirds another try.

This place has one spot open for us and thank goodness because it was fantastic. I think the most exceptional thing about our dinner was the service. Our waiter was such a delight, as was the rest of the staff. Very knowledgeable and just the right amount of friendly. The food was delicious! We got a steak and pasta dish that I added shrimp to. The steak was cooked exactly as requested and was incredibly tender. My pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauteed shrimp fit in perfectly with the flavors. Our desserts at the end of the night did not disappoint either. Each dessert had it's own unique flare that someone could enjoy and nothing was overly sweet. It really complimented the freshness of the dinner. I absolutely recommend coming here, but if you're planning a weekend dinner, grab a reservation!

I must admit, the outside and parking lot leaves a lot to be desired but the inside is a secret garden! So, I am so glad a friend asked us to meet here for lunch yesterday. No greeter and the main entrance and different parts that don't appear to be part of Namu but all are ‍. So, if it's your first time know this. All food is ordered by a QR code which is fine but again if it's your first time, there's no one even walking around that you can ask questions to. But, let's talk about the main star-the food. I like Korean food, have had the widely known bulgogi, kimchi etc. My eyes were startled to see gimbap on the menu. After watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix and becoming obsessed with it, IYKYK; I had to try the gimbap. I loved, loved the shrimp tempura gimbap. It was generous portions so I got to bring some home. And, the six different homemade sauces were delicious too...I tried them all. Definitely I will be back and I loved the ambiance!

The entire store is filled with wines from all over the world. The best part? None of them are from big companies. Every single one of them are from local/ small businesses (You can see some of the business owners photos by the wines!). The owner/ founder of Wine Authorities has been working with a lot of the wineries for many years. They taste every new batch they purchase to ensure quality. Although they have many businesses they've been working with for a long time, they go to wine shows and events in Europe to discover new ones! I like my wine very sweet but there were so many choices that I was a bit overwhelmed. I asked the nice lady at the register to give me recommendations and I loved the wine she recommended. If you are a bit overwhelmed with all the choices, just ask for help. They are very informative and helpful! Aside from their amazing wine, they also have beer, cider, sake, hot sauce, honey, meats, and etc. You will find at least one thing you will love. On Saturdays, they have free wine tastings from 12-3pm! If you cannot make it there on time, you can always buy a bottle or two. They will give you glasses to drink in the back or outside if the weather is nice outside! You can also buy snacks or cheese to go with your wines. Also, if you are a little hungry, you can buy a bottle from Wine Authorities and head to Thai Cafe next door and they will let you drink there without extra charge!
