Went here on a date, and the date picked it out. Upon entering the decor was nice. Only got wine, and had ordered a Rose, but got served a white... I sucked it up, and didn't say anything. Just thought it was strange.

Met here for drinks and it was dead inside. First date... My date ordered a sparkling Rosé & was served a white wine instead. I had an IPA that was good. I also think we were overcharged but didn't argue the bill. The sign on the door said $7 for a pint. Avoid this place and go down the street to Sweet Sicily instead for great pizza, drinks and dessert. Should have gone there first! Vino Vino is no bueno.

Such an underrated place! Staff is always friendly and the vibe inside is good. I love their bites to eat especially the cheese board and hummus! Wine can be hit or miss but the staff will help you find one you like :)

I cannot rate the food because no one ever came over to take our order. I am actually very happy about that because Tao Tao Chinese restaurant was fabulous as usual.So, I had a reservation for 6pm. I showed up 5:45. The place was completely empty except for one couple in the back of the place. I walked over to a staff member and said I had a 6pm reservation and headed to the restroom. When I cMe out, I sat at a table by the front door. And waited for my (online) date to arrive. 20 minutes passed and the servers did not attempt to bring me water or ask me if I wanted anything. If I wasn't waiting for someone, I would have walked out. I finally walked up to the bar where they had prefilled reuseable water bottles. I asked them if the water was self serve sonce no one came over to ask me if I wanted anything. My date shows up and we talked for another 20 minutes and still no service. Of it was not a 1st date, I would have been rude AF. Instead, I flag the guy down and we order a glass of wine. We had a great time and the date conversation fabulous. We talked for another hour and still no one came back to see if we wanted food. So a couple hours later, the kitchen was about to close and then they decided to come over and ask if we wanted food. Seriously? This was so far from what I experienced here 5 years ago.It all makes sense why this place was completely empty. With this type of lack of service, I can understand why the place was empty. Oh and in this 2.5 hour conversation with my date, only one other couple came in. So that is horrible for a Friday night.We picked up our umbrellas and walked next door to Tao Tao. This place had no problem bringing in people on a super rainy Friday Night. It is also possible that the younger crowd is at the new Tipsy putt a block away enjoying cocktails and great food. I'll be there tomorrow so you can count on another review for them.Last, my date went well cause be are meeting up again tomorrow.

First of all the server had no clue on any wines they serve. Did not know any prices on the bottles. I'm not a wine snob but the Cab Franc on tap was not great. The only wines they serve per glass is on tap and they serve it in a stemless glass. Bruschetta wasn't ok. I'll give the server 5 stars cause he was polite but clueless and that is management.

Seeing this place listed on Yelp's "cheese" restaurant list and looking at the nice menu online I was excited to try it. It was not what I was hoping for. The ambiance is dirty industrial. The lighting tries for intimate but comes off harsh. There are pretty much only hi-top tables. Smells like old mop. Several items we asked for from the menu were not available, which was disappointing. I had a wine flight. One of the wines was not what I ordered. On the smoked salmon crostini the salmon was tasty, and the bread crispy, but the cheese had zero flavor. There was a dab of nice pesto that had a complimentary flavor, but was too small. On my wife's panini the fig jam was nice, but the brie could not be tasted. We could see it, but no taste. I had the pecorino pasta. The flavor was good, but the pasta was gluey and there was no pepper. The prices were consistent with a higher end experience.

Used to love this place. It has slowly gone downhill for years. Maybe multiple ownership changes? Not sure but the service is awful, couldn't understand the server who didn't know anything, and they don't seem to have 75% of the wine on their menu. Someone bought the place apparently and is trying to put the bare minimum into it. Asked for champagne and got a chilled American champagne from Wyoming. Avoid at all costs! We will absolutely NEVER go there again.

Great ambience, friendly staff, good wine selection and food options. We love coming here every once in a while.

This place could be a whole lot better if they tried harder. They don't open on time and they aren't able to serve some of the food because they are out.
Wine was good, palatable. Sangria was pretty good, I enjoyed a couple glasses. The vino vino sampler had a selection of cheese, meats, bread, crostinis, and some jam, honey and olives to enjoy. It was a good variety but not enough over dinner so we ordered a mushroom panini and a Crème brûlée as well! It could've been better, not the greatest but I wouldn't necessarily come back, unless I wanted to try more wines or different stuff on the menu. I'll come back and give it another shot! Staff was nice! Cute for a date night though!

Despite the (quantity of) meat and cheese tray being a bit underwhelming, it was all good quality and very delicious. It paired well with my wine. Service was a a tad slow but then again I wasn't in a hurry to get back to my hotel room that evening.

Really nice spot that offers a variety of wines on tap, great appetizers, and good service. The pizza wasn't the best, but the other dishes we got were great.

I want to like this place. Service is always super slow and they normally forget that you're even there. I asked for a pretty standard wine and had no idea what I was asking for. Better off going across the street

Came by for an afternoon wine and chill and decided to try this place. The spot is neat, clean with friendly and welcoming staff. Plenty of parking in the area so it wasn't difficult to find a spot. Tried their sangria and rose' selections and it was quite nice paired it with a charcuterie board which was made fresh and with delicious varieties. Will definitely return again for sure.
