I loved getting lunch here and working here in the afternoon! The food was so delicious, I tried the BBLTA (basil, applewood smoked bacon, green leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado & lemon aioli on hand-sliced toasted sourdough) and loved it. Very very fresh ingredients, to the point where I was so blown away and just obsessed with how simple the sandwich was but with how excellently it was executed because of the ingredients.The ambience was also so unique and fun, I loved that I was able to have lunch there, sit, have Wi-Fi, and work all in the same place. It was great to get out and work around people and just be in a common area with others.
This wine bar is a perfect place for small groups or for an interesting date night. The wine menu is excellent and simple, and the food is incredible. They have a great selection of shareable food (I recommend the Brussel sprouts and the bacon wrapped dates) in addition to well-portioned salads and pizzas (I got the Vampire Slayer). I’ve been told that this restaurant doubles as a coffee bar in the morning, but I haven’t confirmed for sure. Either way, this is a great spot with great food!
Good for groups. Great spot for working!
My favorite place in Santa Monica. Beautiful Ambiance, great staff, good drinks, only complaint is they don’t take cash which gives them a 1 star. It’s federal currency and is a problem for about 20% of minorities or anyone that doesn’t have a debit card or access to a bank.
The atmosphere was great here. We sat out on the patio and had a glass of wine ordered the pizzas and enjoyed a nice date night out. My hubby tried the beer and enjoyed that as well. Service was good just a little slow. Our poor server needed an extra hand. The overall vibe was good for a place in Santa Monica, CA.
Best of the best. We booked the private room for my birthday. They were very clear about pricing and rules, and provided us with great wine, food, and service. Everyone had a wonderful time and I can't wait to have another event there. We had been concerned about making our minimum ($750 for weeknight) but with 25 guests, it was no problem. The icing on the cake was our bartender toasted us with complimentary champagne when we got engaged at the party!
What a great place!! I tend to get intimidated by wine bars due to my lack of knowledge in the field but I ended up having a wonderful experience! The bartenders were helpful and nonjudgmental. The place has a great, casual vibe and delicious cheese boards!
Really nice, local place for new years celebration with a dj and party favor decor. The food and wine were pricey but lived up to the hype. The server did a great job too even though the place got really crowded towards the end of the night.
I'm truly in love here. Already recommended to 3 friends going out next weekend. First ambiance is beautiful, modern, clean and just unpretentious, fun vibe. Came here early with hubby and seated in intimate area, we could actually converse and sit comfortably together. Had a few delicious glasses (Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot and Cabernet). Ordered appetizers lamb meatballs (amazing, perfectly cooked nice flavor), mushroom pizette (heavier flavors, melt in your mouth cheese) and olives. All brought out superbly and staggered. 110% on service, this is what every business strives for. Attentive staff, smiles, great recommendations, water was always filled, manager was keeping an eye out and it was a beautifully executed thing to watch. You have a customer in us! Well done.
We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who told us it is open seating down stairs. We walk down a wide stair case into this beautiful, ultra contemporary/industrial space. Very simple yet very detailed. I loved it right away. We sat in a long booth and were greeted right away but another super friendly server. Most "nice" places usually have snobs working for them so to have decent interaction was a plus.
