| - Food here was excellent and extremely reasonable as other reviewers have said. We had focaccia with a tomato sauce, the broccoli which other reviewers have described, roasted mushrooms with shallots and greens, veal with chorizo and pearl onions, and a black pudding with celery root and apples. The black pudding was probably the most interesting dish--- it was in balls, rather than in sausage like I've normally seen it and had celery root noodles with a Dijon remoulade. Everything was excellent, but the vegetables were better than the meats overall. We had a pecan tart with coffee ice cream for dessert that was phenomenal.
Some reviewers have complained about the size of the portions. I felt like these were normal small plates portions, but I did think that the sizing was uneven. For example, my husband couldn't finish all of the veal, but I ate all of the black pudding myself and was still hungry (so I ate some of the veal).
Also, for a wine bar, I was not super impressed with the wine selection. I was served red wine in a white wine glass, and it seemed like there were more roses on the menu than reds or whites, which was especially odd since we went in January.
Overall, while I would probably give this 4.5 stars because of the wine, I'm rounding up because the food was so good!
