I managed to secure a reservation for a Sunday night of their opening week. The wine bar is super cozy on a cold winter night. We drank great glasses of wine, and also got two cheese plates, one cow and one goat cheese, and butter beans. They had gluten free crackers to accompany, so that was great. The cheeses were great and the butter beans really delicious. They offer small plates. This is a good spot for an appetizer, or small dinner, or before theatre, for example. The service was impeccable. I wish they had more traditional wines, though. Some more Italian wines and French wines would be great. Pet nat is not my favorite, but it definitely hits with that hipster vibe they are going for and trying to make wine more accessible to all. The ambiance hits and I would call it 80s chic meets modern warmth. There were candles and dark, moody green walls, and 80s décor to round it out. It is chic. Try it out. I love the different plates they have collected making it eclectic.

I'm all for support in the musicians, but venues doing it in a sneaky passive aggressive way will always get a side eye from me. There was one occasion pre COVID where my small group was at the very front of the venue between the bar and the outside window WHISPERING and the owner and bartenders sent dagger eyes to us and shushed us violently. Idk what true jazz venue does not encourage a lively audience but everyone at the bar area had to act like a funeral was in session. Literally no talking AT ALL or you would be reprimanded. Cool time! I came again recently with my partner, even after a handful of bad experiences because friends of our were playing AND WE WANTED TO SUPPORT. Hellooooo??? We didn't realize until we sat down that each order required a two menu item minimum. I ordered a drink for myself and my partner using the online ordering system and when the drinks were delivered the owner stared at my partner with an accusing look like "are you going to order something, you freeloader?", but with a weird passive aggressive smile (if you've worked in food service, you know the one). Because unbeknownst to us, their policy is ACTUALLY two menu items per guest. "To support the artists," Lazara said with a saccharin grin. As two people who have plays countless shows as musicians ourselves and organized shows in the community with other artists, we know this is BS. If you want to truly support the artists, you charge at the door what you want the artists to be paid. 1. You don't gamble on the bar sales hoping people buy enough to supplement the artists' pay. 2. You don't create hidden fees for customer by requiring them buy so many menu items and hide behind "it's for the artists". 3. You don't create a hostile environment for the audience members who paid like they were supposed to but are now shocked by bullying from the staff that they need to buy more booze or food. My partner and I hardly drink alcohol. We wouldn't have bought drinks if we were not pressured to. So we forced our drinks down and ordered two more after Lazara loomed over us to do so. It put a sour taste in our mouth and took all spontaneity out of the night. We had to silently drink our beverages or else be reprimanded by teacher. We texted eachother our reactions to the music. lol Literally the whole audience seemed afraid to even clap or hoot because so many folks were told not to make noise. It felt like we were being held hostage. What a bizarre dynamic. IT'S JAZZ. The Devil's Music. We can't turn up a bit? So wild. Over this place. Truly truly.

It didn't take much convincing to agree to check it out and see what all the buzz was really about. I felt a dose of excitement going through the 'secret' door :). Inside, there was an atmospheric, moody vibe, with jazz playing in the background. I don't visit bars often, but this one would be the perfect place to meet up with my female friends. Oh! It's also a great spot for a rendezvous, of course. It's dark, and the drinks are strong. There are fresh oysters, available on a short small bites menu. It can make for very intimate and romantic foreplay. You cannot have separate checks. At least that's what happened in our case.

There were only a few other guests during our stay and things began to pickup as we were leaving. In the past, later at night, we've walked by and the place is quite packed. If you like quiet intimacy and a deal on drinks and food happy hour is your golden time here. I almost hate to share this secret tbh. Don't go. Leave this for me haha. The drinks here are all delicious and lovingly made. Really superb cocktails that taste good. The food is pretty good. It is clearly prepared well and presented artfully. I do think that calling a burger, "A quest for heaven" and not having it be super memorable and mind blowingly flavorful is a miss. It's a good burger and I'd eat it again but it's not a craveable item and I hoped with such a small menu it would be amazing. The charcuterie is super generously portioned and the nduja add on is a huge portion of nduja. Get the charcuterie. The crab toast was good and I'd get it again. We want to try baked brie next time. We also tried the pistachio mousse dessert and it was very pretty but lacked a lot of pistachio flavor. A chocolate cup full of unflavored but rich whipped cream and a minuscule amount of pistachio flavored something that was holding the cup to the plate. We were mostly just confused by the name of the dish versus the experience. It was good just not pistachio mousse. We actually wondered if someone accidentally prepared it wrong. We were here for an anniversary and were given free champagne before our meal and offered more at the end which we declined because of all the other lovely drinks we'd had. The service was great, the staff were polite and informed about the menu and drinks and the bartenders made wonderful things. Will be trying Saint Neri again soon.

I actually found this restaurant scrolling on yelp. Not sure why it was not a top search. I found this place scrolling. Saw a few reviews and the food presentation was beautiful in photos . I told my husband I was craving a steak of some sort & the local "3 stars " weren't cutting it . This place was already rated well above three , even four stars ! So we took a walk! Upon entering I noticed the "Suzanne " drink" this is my mother's name so of course I had to order ! Just like my mother , the drink did not disappoint! I ordered the steak frites however replaced the frites with salad(I want drinks over carbs - very difficult decision. I know)... not sure what kind of dressing the used but . Wow. I could eat just that salad every night of my life . The steak was cooked to perfect temp as per my request (medium) I personally enjoy the flavor of steak itself but the sauce that had with this.... This brought it to another level . My husband ordered the Porc . I'm not saying we're low class but we are not high class however we do have manners . I have never seen him eat a meal as quickly as he did in the 15 years we have been together . I too took a bite and was impressed by the flavor and the pork not being over cooked . I actually swooped some of his sauce on my steak & this was to die for . My husband & I showed up at 7:50. The restaurant closed at 9. I actually apologized to the server and hostess due to my self eating incredibly slow . Being a former waitress in my 20's I failed to finish my salads despite their encouragement to take my time. The ambiance , service , food , drink was perfect start to finish . This is officially in our line up. Thank you for making my birthday week and most importantly our wedding anniversary special.

Most of the things you would never even heard of and the prices did not equate to the food portion size. Now I'm not somebody who's never been to a fine dining restaurant before I've dined everywhere from LA to Hong Kong. That being said, my wife and I decided to give it another shot last night. When we showed up the hostess was really nice. We were seated really quickly, but we looked at the menu and it was very limited. I had never even heard of 90% of the menu before. So I ordered some steak hache. Which turns out is just like a fatty hamburger, for 40 bucks! Not only was the hamburger undercooked, but it was super fatty and almost slimy. The fries that came with it were also waaaaaa too salty. I ended up eating about 1/10th of my meal and then eating some of my wife's tenderloin. I would honestly give this place a negative review if I could.
