| - Boy do I love me a good wine lounge. Yes, II Vino is more than just a lounge. It's a restaurant as well, but I only partook in the lounge aspect of this establishment...and it was a little slice of wonderful.
Yesterday, a couple of friends and myself went here to kill some time before our movie. My inner-wino eagerly adds that entering this place was like stepping into Narnia. We were instantly engulfed by the demure ambiance. Personally, I forgot for a few moments that we just exited a noisy casino. After picking out an area in the lounge, we went up to the bar and ordered our wine. I can't remember the wine I ordered which is a little embarrassing. I was so excited, I literally picked the first one at the top of the red wine list. What I do remember about the flavor was that it had some hints of orange in it. Take my word for it, it was good.
We proceeded to sip our wines and have a nice chat in our cozy little corner. The one thing that I found slightly unimpressive was that after we did order our wine and sat, the servers seemed to forget about us. Granted we were only there for 25 minutes, but no one came around once to ask how we were. They were very kind when we interacted with them upon our arrival, but there was no contact after that. A small bummer, but not something that would deter me from returning at a later date.
