I want so much to rate higher, but the food was just ok. Grilled chicken salad was good, but everything else we ordered was okay, and very very small portions. Wines were just okay as well - we tried 3 full wine flights (whites, reds, sparkling) Cute space and great vibes, but all of us thought the food and wines were just average.

This review is embarrassingly years late, mostly because I moved out of the area and am now sitting…read morein a different zip code missing this wine bar like an old friend. The rotating menu was always the best part -- new wines, seasonal snacks, and just enough change to keep things interesting without ruining what works. Every visit felt like a little surprise, but never in a "what happened to my favorite thing?" kind of way. The cozy vibe was unbeatable. Dim lights, warm atmosphere, and live entertainment that somehow made me feel like I was in a movie scene about a person who has their life together. (Spoiler: I do not. But I felt like I did when I was here.) I genuinely hope it survived COVID, staffing shortages, economy chaos, and whatever plot twists 2020-present through at local businesses. Please still be the same. Please still have the vibe. Please still have the best wines I never thought to try. If I ever come back to town, I'm heading straight there -- no questions asked. Five stars forever. Try them out if you're in uptown!

I have been here a few time before and definitely thought I had already written a review, but I…read moreguess not. I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

I also got a happy hour tapas plate special of Patatas Bravas which were crispy potato bites sitting in a nice tomato salsa and topped with aioli. It was a perfect amount of food and wine. Service was excellent. I love the vibe. With exposed brick and ceiling, large picture windows and stone bar top, it was cozy and hip. I want to come back and try more tapas plates. So may good options to try.
