| - Went to Press last night for dinner before a movie. We can see this place from our building and were intrigued after hearing about their large wine selection.
From what I understand, the menu always changes here and the food is very good. We had a good experience here; the crowd was mellow, sort of an after-work type crowd, and the setting was nice. It's not stiff, like we'd imagined it to be. It's very casual and unassuming, and you don't need to be a big shot wine connoisseur to feel at ease here. While they have tons of wines to choose from, there is no pressure here to pick the "right" one. It's more of a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I went with a cabernet.
Our server was very nice, although it seemed as though they were busier than anticipated (not a bad thing) and she was hard to get ahold of. She was rushed with us, didn't make any recommendations or anything and forgot something we had asked for on two occasions. The first was a glass for my fiancee's beer, (which was weird because he didn't even ask for one, she asked him if he wanted one and he just said okay and she never brought it), and the second was a second beer. She just completely forgot about it. And then we tried to get her attention to tell her to forget it, we had a movie to catch, but she noticed us and then motioned for the bartender with an "Oh shit" face to bring him a beer. The bartender brought it over before we could tell our waitress we actually wanted to cancel it. Oh well, no one's going to complain about an extra beer.
We ordered some sushi rolls, which were pretty good, tasted fresh and looked very nice. The next time we go back we will definitely stick with the wine and cheese though, and I'm sure it will be soon.
