| - Why can't this be within walking distance from my house? Awesome specials, food, staff, vibe, everything! A great spot to hold a conversation, with good company.
Made it in time for the daily special, $5 wine by the glass. I was able to indulge in a $12 glass, multiple times without concern of massive bill. - I don't usually drink on the week night, but if I ever have a rough Monday, I'll be here. $20 for bruschetta, and a bottle, on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The food was just wonderful. A girlfriend, and I split the Butchers Block and a bruschetta board. For our bruschetta choices, we went with: Fresh Mozzarella with Tomato & Basil, Smoked Salmon with Pesto, Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato, and Salami with Pesto. All were great, but we agreed that Smoked Salmon with Pesto was our favorite. 10/10 recommend it. I honestly cannot complain about the food at all. Everything was perfect!
There is a portion of the staff who is dedicated to topping off drinks, so your water glass will never hit empty. Our waitress was wonderful, and was very informative in selecting the right wine, for our taste. About halfway through our visit, our waitress was relieved by a waiter who was equally delightful, and considerate enough to do "last call" for the wine special.
The Restaurant has a very earthy/fresh vibe. Nothing felt generic. It's a place you can dress up or down for, and you will fit right in.
There were a couple minor things that I felt could've improved my visit. One being, it was very warm in the restaurant. There are a lot of windows, and people walking in and out. I felt like I was sweating the entire time. The ladies, who we befriended, at the table beside us agreed. Maybe crank the AC a little lower.
The other is that there's a bunch of stuff on the tables, for such small tables. Hadn't we been sharing, I don't think I would have noticed; but, the food here is meant to be shared, so it's awkward having to dodge and weave through wine glasses and salt shakers for a bite.
All in all, I will definitely be back soon! It's only been three days, and I'm craving some bruschetta! I want to try them all!
