| - Great wine selection! The food wasn't as impressive as I was expecting. It tasted good, but I just expected more for my money. I went here for my 21st birthday and was kind of bummed that I didn't get carded :/ ha. My date and I ordered two appetizers because I didn't feel like spending a lot of money here on food.
Shrimp & Grits - This had a very sugary taste that I kind of was tired of after a few bites. Seems like an odd combination at first but not bad tasting. The portion was pretty small as well. To me, not worth $9
Pork and Duck Rillette - The duck was pretty decent, better than what I have had other places. But again, it was very small. $9
We wanted to do the tasting menu for the food but I feel that would be more appropriate if you had a larger crowd and could pass dishes around.
The wine made the night. I enjoyed the Riesling. Note: I wouldn't bother paying the money for the wine tasting because you can just get little samples of whatever you please for $2.00 per 2oz. I believe with the tasting you only get like four samples for $20.00 so might as well try more and spend less. I love how you can choose different sizes of wine..the taster, 1/2 glass, full glass, and bottle. Way fun!
The dessert wines were my favorite! I ordered the Ice Wine Riesling VQA and was pretty impressed. I'm a sucker for sweet wines so these were perfect. I'm pretty sure you couldn't go wrong with many of these.
I wasn't really crazy about how small the area was inside, it def gets packed in there and you can hear conversations from the tables next to you. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, server was very helpful in recommending different choices, I would come back.
