Love living near the Clifton Martini & Wine Bar.
The outdoor patio is wonderful in the summertime! A warm night with a glass of wine or creative martini makes for a good evening. The location is perfect as well. Nestled in a brick apartment building surround by residential homes and sitting nicely on Clifton Ave which after 8pm quiets down considerably.
The interior has a nice modern look and feel. Wooden bar and black, metal furnishings. As Will said below, sophisticated and subtly romantic.
They have delicious wines and martinis and beers. A very good variety by my standards which some consider slightly above average. Food is where my strong point lies. I love their menu here. It is simple, it is elegant, and it is tasty!
For the life of me--I cannot remember what I had there recently. I want to say Crab Cakes which I split with a friend. And on another occasion before I had shared a tomato basil pizza.
I'll just have to go back and write a proper review by actually ordering an entire meal to myself.
