I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

I love the ones that they have by the glass and the shared plates. I didn't get a chance to try the main dishes but I tried the charcuterie and tomato toast and that was delicious and the olives with chimichurri I'd seems like a lot of their wines are from Italy. I went on a Saturday night at 6 PM and it was pretty empty which is great. It got a bit crowded I believe around eight and then it emptied out again. I left at 10pm and there wasn't there was one couple left. They let you have half glasses, which is much more affordable, but easily racks up. However, I was able to try about four different wines with my half glasses so that equal to two expensive full glasses of wine. I love the place, but it's definitely on the expensive side will only be coming for a special occasion.

On an unusually warm day in March, they set up the classy outdoor seating. I asked the server for recommendations - the menu is great for sharing and trying lots of different dishes, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with too many calories.

It comes with fresh bread, that is crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. It's perfection, refreshing, toothsome, and vegan! Khinkali - beef and pork soup dumplings were well folded, savory, and soupy on the inside. Red currant mocktails - pretty and refreshing! They also have an extensive wine, beer, and cocktail menu. I have also been here for lunch and had a number of other dips and salads and loved what I got. Chama Mama is great for a date or friends. I believe they will rent out the full restaurant for events.

The Branzino was especially good. You could tell it was incredibly fresh because the flesh was so tender and flaky.

Their focaccia is probably my favorite and the balsamic vinaigrette was so good that my husband and I had to ask for a couple of refills. We even asked our waitress where we could buy it, but unfortunately she wasn't sure. The seafood pasta was also delicious and loaded with seafood. You probably can't tell from the picture but it also came with plenty of little clams.

I have a few friends who live around here, and they ask me to go with them every now and then... But it's hard for me to find a lot of nice things to say. The atmosphere can come off a bit strong walking in, especially if it's busy, but the decorum seems pretty cool. As strange as this sounds, every single time there is a girl bartender, no matter what they look like (skin, hair, tattoos, etc.), or how down to earth they seem- They're never friendly. Ever. You have to work for their attention, and when you get it, it's met with an attitude so cold I feel like I should be the one getting tipped. However, I can't give this bar one star, because one time I was there at about midnight and there was a guy working. He had glasses on. He was very laid back, and easy to approach. His service alone makes me consider giving the bar 3 stars, as it has good potential with reasonable service, considering the location and pricing.... But that was one experience out of about five. One out of five IS bad. read more

Jake the bartender and his motherfuckin' Owner are together racist. If you're Black don't go there because you'll be kicked out after you spent your money. The second day i went there, the bartender came to me that i have to give him $1 for service, i gave to him $10 for gift and that's him called the cops for the first time because i can drunk all the bar and nothing happen to me. If white men drunk, nothing will happen but when it's black men they called the cops. I'm not Anonymous, I'm Alex from Paris and i don't fear. A day will come, if you (Jake or Owner) see me on the street and talk with me you'll know if you can be racist with me or not. Place of Bullshit. This is America. read more

During the daytime this place has a bit of a rustic feel and becomes a cool intimate bar at night. They have a little area for outdoor seating in the back / front but the booths are perfect for some group convo or the bar is good for some one-on-one time. I appreciate that they have some pre-made cocktails (margaritas?) to cut down on the wait time for eager patrons. I try to indulge on their happy hour here, which I believe is from 5pm-7pm.

One would hope you could get a stiff drink and a little bit of relaxation, but depending on the night you got different crowds arise for the events. I stopped in once on a Tuesday for a drink, and it was trivia, and I never felt so out of place. The woman hosting it with giving out free googly eyes for each winner of the rounds... sounds like things my nightmares are made out of. On other nights there is a more urban crowd, a mixed bag of people, sometimes a DJ, which are usually quite good, but the selection of alcohol is always questionable. They have some stuff and other stuff is mid. Like it's not someplace I'd order a glass of wine, but if you're looking for something to wash away your sorrows, you're in luck. The outdoor patio is lovely in the spring and fall, in the summer it attracts a very weird crowd of 20-year-olds and the mentally ill. My roommate was once approached by a guy there, who believed he could persuade her into coming home with him. He literally said to me " they all want it, she just doesn't know it yet!" #creepcity But sometimes it's just a nice to relax. Just depends on the evening. The vibe is never the same, but the bartenders are sweet for the majority.
