| - The second establishment to open by the same owners as Poppy Den in the last few months. I don't know, I'm still torn about this place. First try was a stop in after cocktails in another restaurant in Tivoli....the bartender had told us to stop in and check this new wine bar out, so of course we had to. It's situated inside the new Market on top of Brio, so yes, you do get a "view", but it's of the valet drop off turnstile. I did like the decor, very shabby chic meets Pottery Barn. The bartender, Dante, was very friendly, he directed towards the seasonal wine list and recommend a French wine, I had asked him if it compared to a Sancerre, he didn't know what that was. Now I'm not saying you need to be a sommelier, but if you're a bartender working in a wine bar trying to sell me a $15 glass of wine, you might want to know your wines a little bit. Onto the food, extremely overpriced for the size, yes I get it is tapas, but come on, high way robbery. For example, we ordered the Nutella dessert cake, for $9 it was literally 3 bites. I asked for a cheese list, our waitress said they don't have one. Huh? So it's just a game of chance whatever I order? Waitresses choice? She followed it up with "yeah we should get one". Kinda funny. I really do love Tivoli and I wish them the best, but I don't see them lasting with these prices.
