Amazing wine selection and great small bites! It can get a little busy on Thursdays and Fridays but worth the wait
I've been here a couple of times with a friend in the early evening. This place fills up!!! It definitely pays to get there a little early--if you run a little later, you may have to wait a bit to find space to sit down. I really like the vibe here, it just seems kind of chill and cozy. But definitely lively as well. They have a good selection of wines --it would be great if they had some sort of happy hour special, but they don't seem to do that. It's a good place for drinks and the snacks, such as cheese and charcuterie and tartines, are good. I enjoy it here!
I love this place! My wife and I often come before or after a show. They have a nice selection of wines, and a beautiful cheese plate. The plate tonight had a local goat cheese as one of the cheeses that was fresh and tangy and delicious. The decor is cool--inspired by French cinema--and they always have an interesting movie playing (sound off, but showing that whoever chooses the movies is a move lover).
This is a cozy little wine bar with an excellent selection of wines. Highly recommend!
I discovered this place a few years back and absolutely love it! Such a hidden gem on the upper west. Wine selection is great, snacks are yummy and just an overall great vibe and energy! Definitely need more places like this on the upper west that are great for date nights, catching up with friends and even an after work glass!
We were in the city looking for a cute wine bar close to everything and this place had a good wine selection to choose from. They do have small bites to eat but it's definitely a place to go to for the wine not food! Have no complaints and really enjoyed the ambiance
Top tier location within the all the outposts they have simply based on the bartenders and staff. Great selection overall in terms of wine and food that can be enjoyed while you imbibe some vino. They do not provide table service. It is a decent sized location but you must order at the bar and sit wherever you'd like. If you're solo or with a plus one, the bar is the move. Anything more, it's definitely easier to grab a high top to enjoy the conversation. Ordering at the bar is easy and never chaotic no matter how busy they get. They rotate their menu from time to time as well as stock up on fairly similar replacements if a wine is out of stock. They'll allow you to enjoy a taste to make sure you like it.
Adorable wine bar in the upper west side! Plenty of seating available inside. I saw a lot of people even on a weeknight. It looked like a great spot to meet up with friends or even go on a date. The wine was delicious. I love red wine, and tried Domaine du Père Caboche, Châteauneuf-du-Pape '21. It had notes of chocolate, blackberry, raspberry and spice. The cheese boards were great to snack on. It's order at the bar and the service is amazing. Everyone is attentive and kind.
Came here on a weeknight for drinks- the bar was quite crowded- some ppl on first dates, friends etc- definitely a date-y vibe and not too pretentious. the service at the bar was great without being intrusive or feeling rushed. the front wall/frontage of the bar opens up so during warmer weather, sitting closer to the sidewalk might be really nice! anyway, didnt get to try the food but the ambience and drinks were excellent. would recommend to others!
