I came here with my friend this past weekend for some occasional drinks and bites. We found this place on yelp and decided to check it out. When we arrived to the location, it was a little hidden, and the parking we found was only in the back. This is part of the streets of Brentwood shopping plaza so you have to really look for it. This venue is situated where it is half inside, half outside. There is a door that separates the patio area from the inside. There were heaters outside and the inside was pretty small and tight so we decided to sit by the heater in a two seat arrangement outside near the door. There is a DJ who is actually really loud for the small space. I think that's part of the reason why I can't give this place a five stars. I get the ambience, but the music didn't have to be that loud because the place is not that large. The menu is limited, but we were able to choose the charcuterie board and a pepperoni pizza. For drinks I started with the Loco Mojito and my friend asked for a hot toddy. My Mojito was actually pretty good, but mostly ice so I did feel a little gypped on the price of $14. My friend's hot toddy got taken back because it wasn't even hot. Our second drinks were the gingerbread and my friend got a couple of glasses of wine. The wine glasses have a cute touch to them as they have the venues name written on them. The gingerbread drink was actually a seasonal drink, but very good. It even came with a cute gingerbread cookie. The only thing I will say is that the cookie did get really soggy and so when I drank my drink, it was a little weird. But it almost tasted like ice cream so that was nice. The outside needs a bit more heating because it was a very cold day and I was very cold outside. Again with limited seating indoors, you have got to get patio heating for every section to get people to come in. Now for the food, the pizza was actually pretty good, it was enough to share between two people if you're not super hungry. We asked for the ricotta cheese on the side, which was nice to just spread a little bit on the slices rather didn't have it on the pizza. Now the charcuterie board, it's only $17 but I was expecting a little bit more. I don't eat olives and neither does my friend so we asked for something else besides olives. I would've wanted it like maybe grapes? The board as you can see from the photo came with a couple of different meats, two spreadable cheeses and some bread, and uneven number, which is kind of strange and not enough for the entire board. Some almonds that were seasoned, and some extra apple slices because we took the olives off. It also came with a pepper jam, which is OK. I like spicy and it gave a little kick towards the end, but my friend didn't care for it too much. Overall, our bill came to a little bit over $100 which I can't really complain. $50 for some food and two drinks is not too bad but I don't know if I'll come back. There are a lot of wine bar options in this place didn't really stand out too much. The service was nice though. The waiters did a good job coming back to make sure we were OK and accommodating our needs. The one weird thing and again for the minus one star was because they said they did not know how to make a Long Island iced tea, which is a very basic drink. I don't get that? Most bartenders know how to mix those unless you don't have cola or something. The waitress kept telling us that it's not good there, and she kept repeating it. One nice thing about this place if you sit indoors or sit where we are sitting outside, you can watch the games on Sundays. They have a pretty big TV in indoors. There's also a small smaller section outside that you can reserve it seems like that has a fire pit and its own TV which is nice for a small gathering. read more
