The wine room serves a prix fixe 5 to 6 course menu every Saturday for a three hour dinner with two seatings, one at 5pm and one at 8pm. Limited strays are available so it's best to reserve in advance.\n\nThe good:\n-Each dish was very tasty and beautifully plated\n-$130ish per person includes wine pairings with every dish and unlimited refills. also no tip needed\n-new menu each week so you could do it multiple times. Also, guest chefs prepare the meal sometimes \n-you can tell them any dietary restrictions ahead of time and they will accommodate \n-wonderful service \n\nThe bad:\n-the room is a wine cellar, so it's cold. Nicely decorated but you are still in a basement. \n-it was one long table with 4 couples seated together. This kind of killed the romantic/intimate vibe, although we got to meet some nice folks\n-I walked away hungry! The plates, including our duck breast main dish, were too small. Perhaps it's because we had a guest chef, this might not be the case every week \n-the wines were ok, not great. They source organic wines so that might limit their selection. Some were way too sweet\n-they asked if we wanted cocktails to begin our meals when we were first seated. I should have realized they weren't part of the price, but for some reason I thought they were. So an additional $22 for two drinks to my bill at the end hurt...\n\nOverall the food was good and the atmosphere was nice, but for the price I think Isabella's and Altius provided better meals."^^ . .
