I can only speak for the wine bar facing college street tonight, but talking about that, I can say that the place is good. The staff is friendly and took us in, sat us at the bar, recommended a nice Spanish wine (albeit a slightly pricey one) and we had some drinks on a friday night. The decor in this place is comforting, yet hip at the same time, with lots of hardwoods and cozy decorations.
It was the second time I'd been here, but I think the first time was long ago, and things weren't quite right then. Now the kinks have been worked out and it's a place I'd go to if I was in the neighbourhood.
