| - Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really sure I get the hype behind this place. Perhaps it has something to do with the time of day/year I went, but I just wasn't feeling it.
Because of the time of year, it was still daylight when I went for dinner. Had I opted to take advantage of the patio seating, I may have enjoyed my experience a little more. Having not, I was inside in a very bright setting with little to no ambiance. I found it loud and the waitstaff dressed in a manner that would make casual Friday jealous. Cargo shorts and an untucked polo? Try again. Not really the image I think you should portray in this type of establishment. The patrons were better dressed than the employees.
The wine was excellent, as it should be. The food left a lot to be desired. It wasn't horrible, but I certainly wasn't wowed either. I found the menu minimal and the crackers that accompanied the charcuterie plate were atrocious. Bleh!
I've yet to experience the original location, but I'm led to believe it's relatively the same. I cannot say that I'd never go back, but I would change the intent of the evening for sure. To me, this is more the place to enjoy wine socially with friends, and not so much as an intimate dinner setting.
