  • Poor experience. Much more of a college pub feel than wine bar. I was hoping we would love this place and it could become our bar of choice, but we won't return. We went for a wine tasting night which was supposed to feel special, but it was just strangely pieced together. Trying to find the entrance was confusing because outside they had a "Coors Light" branded easel so I thought we were at the wrong place. The owner appeared a bit frazzled, wearing jean shorts, not really connecting with anyone or inviting us back for another time. Tried to introduce ourselves and ask more about the business (initially I was possibly thinking of hosting a future private event there), but got no response really. Mediocre food. We left starving. Water served in beer branded glasses. No fresh wine glasses given throughout the evening which meant throughout the 5 course pairing you had to drink what you had or dump it - otherwise you'd be mixing varieties. Old holiday garland hanging in the private dining room. (It's April.) They barely sold the chosen wine to us at the end of the evening and it was unclear how and to whom we should pay the bill. It was all very disorganized. I got the feeling the vineyard owner who flew down for the night was a bit disappointed with how the evening was handled. The entire place also has a DIY decor feel which i know is their brand but it felt ordinary and thrown together. I did like the sofas though. The wine was great, but when i go to a wine bar i want to feel like it's a special night in some way -- otherwise why not drink wine at home? It doesn't have to be snooty -- their brand is "the unpretentious wine bar" which is great -- but it *does* have to feel special. I hope they start adding things up and figuring out they can do better. Just making a few inexpensive changes in the appearance and service would go a long way. (For starters, how about swapping the deli sign out front for a lovely chalkboard, having enough glasses for people, taking down any old holiday decor, and showing some interest in your customers and future business.) if they can up their game we'll give it another try.
