| - This phrase may get overused at times, but I really truly feel like you won't find a place like this in the Burgh. It just combines the best of all these different worlds. Cheese, chocolate and wine! What more do you need? Oh wait, cured meat!
I had been wanting to come here for a thousand years, maybe I exaggerate a bit, but it's been a long time! It's such a great intimate setting. You can grab a seat at the bar, a smattering of four top or high top tables or the cozy couch and chairs in the back we were able to snag. Then sit, sip and savor. And repeat!
We were actually still hungry after a light dinner, so we pretty much housed a cheese, meat and chocolate plate. I'm no cheese connoisseur, but I know that I love cheese, and there was some great choices! Some were from local farms and others were imported from far away countries (how fancy!). The meats were the same, some imported in and some from local farms. I like the mix. It seems that everything is constantly rotating, so you may not find the same cheese on the menu when you stop back in again. But that's okay, I could try different cheeses forever!
Then we made the best decision of the night, we ordered the chocolate plate from Sinful Sweets (located downtown and in Lola). They. Were. Incredible. Chocolate covered nacho chips (I kid you not), bacon, animal crackers and just plain chocolate. Thanks AWM, I'm now hooked on Sinful Sweets as well!
Oh yeah, and I had wine! A Malbec that was fantastic! But there are pages and pages of wines as well as cocktails and beer. I mean. I could set up shop and live here! I've got everything I ever need in life. This is a brilliant idea. See you all at my new home!
