They have a great selection of wine and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The shop is small and there are only about 3 tables outside for patio seating. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and inviting - definitely a great spot for a date night. Went here last night with a friend while we were in Matthews in search of a place with a patio to enjoy the beautiful weather. There are a few places to choose from in downtown Matthews but we picked Black Chicken because we wanted something to eat too and there a few more selections down towards the library. We chose a bottle of Riesling and the lady working there poured our glasses and kept the bottle in the fridge for us to keep cold as we were sitting outside on the patio. We were able to walk a few shops down to get a crepe - the owner even brought it to our table when it was ready. Love the convenience of the location and the friendly staff! I'm sure this will turn into a regular spot for us!
