If they do, go early! They'll sell out. Still delish though. They're playing The Smiths and Air, they have a pool table and cool people crowded around it, it's like the definition of a cool bar. But it's not pretentious, and they have sweet little frog details everywhere you look, frosted on the wine glasses, on shelves, in the window. They have an identity, but also the classic features of a bustling bar where you don't exactly have enough room to hang your coat and bag without invading your neighbor's space, but it's fine. It's cozy and you're having a good time. I glimpsed a lovely back patio and apparently they have live music sometimes next door at the Tadpole, so I'll be back soon.

It can get quite busy here, so it may be difficult to find seating. They ask you what type of wine you like, and let you try a few different ones before settling on a glass.

I grabbed a wine that the bar was offering that day as a special and sat inside by myself. Where I tell you that it was great to just see people come in and out and the bar remain busy. The service was quick from the bartender and she was making sure people got their drinks and could funnel through the line. The empanada pop up was tasty and there were people lined up and waiting. The guy whose popup it was was from Mamacha Empanadas and he makes sure to recommend both of the salsas. I wish I had gotten at least 4 more, it was that good.

He didn't utter a single word to us in the entirety of our exchange, which gave the performative-giving space (with call-to-action posters of already-done actions) an even more negative tilt. The crowd feels seismically out of place for a bar in this neighborhood. Feels very Greenpoint esque. Drinks were on low end of mid; not sure if I should blame the bartender or the bar. The margarita deluxe tasted like a margarita lite, and End of an Era was mid. The dance floor in the back has a lot of potential, but I won't be able to witness it if its front-end continues sucking as much as this presentation.

The smaller bites are the best. Yellowfin Tuna has so many flavors to complement, Sugar Snap Peas really sing in their sesame sauce, and the Surf Clam Skewers are just so cool. I like the Sablefish less - I think it belongs on bread, but I did enjoy the Seafood Rice. Very flavorful in a quieter, more subtle way. The Blue Crab was just heaven, soft-boiled egg, chunks of crab in chili. Use the baguette to soak up every single drop. You must order the Pavlova. It is flawless. The Panna Cotta is also interesting, with pickled cherry blossoms both floral and tart. I got up at 4 AM to get this reservation, and I WILL do it again next time, every time I am in New York.

I think that would've been good, but we ended up getting 4 which was fine as well. We started with the yellowfin tuna and gnocco fritto, which was delicious, but maybe my least favorite bite. We then got the seafood rice, which was probably my favorite. It was a good size, and very creamy. It had an herby seafood topping which was delicious. After that we got the blue crab and soft boiled egg, which came with a baguette. It was super flavorful and the baguette was fresh. We ended with the muscovy duck breast, which was delicious, but a tad tough. Service was great. She was super attentive. Dishes came out one at a time, which I liked because it gave us enough time to enjoy each dish. Their menu rotates weekly, so if I lived around here, I could see myself coming sometimes to try other items. It is definitely on the pricier side, but very good food! I would come back again!

The bar (in the former Spuyten Dyvil space) is almost comically different in look and feel from SD. It is elegant and has an almost suburban feel. I walked in 29 seconds before they opened and they told me so, and I went across the street to walk around bc I was meeting a friend and by the time I went back they were packed (this annoyed me...slightly....). :-/ However, we were given a table, even though there was some confusion at first as to whether we could have one if we weren't eating. But we did have food! And they were friendly, and the service was unexpectedly focused and tight. I'm not a huge wine guy, but I enjoyed the glasses of wine I had here. The menu was lovely. The small plates were very good, but Rude Mouth has taken *more than a small cue* from Bar Jambon, in Gramercy, the wine bar connected to the Michelin-starrred restaurant Casa Mono - in their wines and their small plates (ham, bread, butter, etc.) Who can fault them, really? Are you gonna hate on every rock band that wants to sound a little like My Bloody Valentine? Enjoyable, serious place, good wine, solid food, nice vibe, no real complaints, worth your time.
