Here's what I like about this place- they are in a great location. In the summer the patio is the place to be. It's unique as well with French bistro lighting strung up and cafe tables that are always packed. In the winter it is a cozy place to be with lots of bench seating and a fireplace that blasts heat all night long.
Their wine list is kinda laughable since it is called a wine bar, but I guess that it would please the masses. I just really don't ever find anything that is interesting on their list in red or white. The rest of the booze taste just fine to me and they make one mean double dirty martini on the rocks with blue cheese stuffed olives. A couple of those and I might just order a glass of wine.
The nibbles are good, but you will wait for a while since they come from the restaurants around them- Gamekeepers and West End. We have always been a fan of the cheese board. They used to have these tenderloin bites as well that were just fantastic. Not sure what happened to those.
The best draw to this place is the bartender Jen. She is fantastic, conscientious and funny. I don't think that she is there anymore, so hopefully they found someone to replace her who is just as good. Whenever we went I didn't even have to order- my dirty just showed up. Kind of like Cheers, only clean and outside.
