Be sure to check your tab. We were almost double charged for a $95 bottle of sparkling wine and almost paid for someone else's tab, when the check was brought to our table. The wine was good.

First time visit mid-afternoon on a Wednesday. Location is convenient and the outdoor patio is inviting. There were only a few patrons there at the time. We were excited for the opportunity to get to know some smaller labels from the region. Unfortunately, there was no guidance from the staff about the wines they represent. We were left with a menu and told to order at the counter. When we made our tasting choices and received our wine there was still no information. Had we wanted just a wine bar then maybe our visit would have been ok. Unfortunately we were looking to learn more in order to make informed bottle purchases to take home.

Had a nice private event here. The wait staff was nice, but for how many worked the event, they were not very on top of missing silverware/napkins. Food served with nothing to eat it with repeatedly. An area to improve but a nice overall experience. If you have any hearing issues, it was loud. The live music, combined with the size group we had, as well as background kitchen noise (blender) was a little challenging. Compliments to the chef though! Each dish was lovely. Reviews were only hit or miss on the dessert.

Awesome ambiance. the guy standing out front of the club welcomed us into this wine bar. the server was amazing and I will be going back. it was very swanky, however, extremely hot with no air. dress loosely.

Gorgeous venue / lounge and perf for a business-oriented happy hour. There are plenty of tables and places to sit. Most of it was sectioned off and reserved for various companies / get-togethers (ie Harvard Law School Association).It's not too dark inside, and it's mellow enough to get documents signed, which is what I was doing. Bartenders were attentive because there was actually a sufficient bartender to customer ratio so that I never had to wait long for anything.It's not the cheapest happy hour in the city at all, but they have a pretty legit beer selection. Some of the beers, I've only had in other countries / at the World Expo in 2010. I don't think the menu on their website is an exhaustive list.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on my birthday and I'm so happy we did! This place has a great ambiance, amazing wine, and fun music (there was a jazz band playing when we came). Perfect for dates, groups or birthdays! ;). The staff was very helpful in helping us select wines as we were one a time crunch. We'll be back!

The best spot for top sort and sensible wine! This wine shop is really the best spot to buy or like some wine since this spot truly has everything. The environment inside was so unwinding up, and there are a huge load of choices, especially some red wines. I will rate this see a five-star!

We played trivia Wednesday. Our team has played all over town, and this was the best we’ve found so far. We all won wine flights, very, very fun night!

Had a blast at trivia night Wednesday. Fun questions, great host, nice atmosphere.
