I have to say I love this place. The fact that it's around the corner from my house doesn't hurt but I'm a bit baffled by the haters here. Expensive? Are you kidding?
It's unpretentious, friendly and they have a great selection of wines by the glass - and a 10 ounce pour to boot. The servers are super friendly and there's never any pressure to order anything. More of a casual European feel.
I can't comment on the food - we have never eaten anything here. But if you're looking for a nice friendly little bar where you can have a giant glass of excellent wine for ten bucks, you will be very happy here.
