Reviews in America West Magazine are always a shot in the dark- and this one I hate to say was a miss for me. There are a lot of cool, swanky, throw back elements. The place looks cool. BUT, some things have got to go:
1. The little ottomans in the living room. They're squishy. Problem if your date is about 250 lb. He took one look at how much it squished when my 120 lb sat on it, smiled and said "You've got to be kidding!"
2. Cold food. The meatballs are supposed to be fabulous and I'm sure they are when they're hot. I could have gotten past it if they were just warm, but they were really cold.
3. Wine knowledge. This hurts to say because they are a wine bar, so I'm sure it's important to them that they get good reviews here. BUT, when I asked about the characteristics of some different chardonnays on the list, I didn't get a lot of details. Just their year and where they were from.
Sorry Lisa G. I really want to like this place, but for now, my opinion is that this little cute place still needs some work.
