| rev:text | 	Uncorked is a great place to be - its local, small and intimate, comfortable, and surprisingly "unpretentious" as it claims to be.  Ali is nice and a good owner - she remembered exactly what i was drinking the last time i was there and made further recommendations.  The prices arent too bad either at all, with flights for around 15 bucks.  The decor is adorable, a great atmosphere to enjoy a good glass of wine.
Unfortunately, there are a few setbacks about this place that forced me to go with 3 stars not 4.  First, the cheese platter was small, unimpressive, and overpriced majorly.  A little cup of almonds, hard store bought mini toast crackers, less than a handful of grapes, pears, and three measly slices of cheese is simply unsatisfying for 17 dollars.  On a good note, the salami is good but again small portioned. We also had the mushroom caps; they were good but the cheese was overpowering and greasy, and you couldnt even taste the crab!  
I will be going back, simply because I enjoy the intimate atmosphere with a good glass of wine so close to home.  I'll be skipping the food next time though and heading to Postino for a real cheese plate. |
