Tried to go on a Thur night. They were closed even though hours on gmaps listed.I don't think this restaurant is open anymore. No website. No update to their FB page since Jan 2023.

I met some gal pals for dinner and drinks on a Tuesday night and the evening couldn't have been more perfect. Leah, our server was charming and attentive, the gourmet soft tacos were yummy (pumpkin curry!! ❤️), and the margarita was sooooo good! We will be back often.

we tried a little bit of everything - apps, dinner, and drinks. the drinks were the best part but just ok. the apps were meh. chips and salsa aren't free and are nothing exciting. all our entrees were basic as well despite the exciting descriptions. portions were small. fries were under cooked. the patio seating looks over main street which is lovely and it's pretty inside. service was slow.

Yummy drinks, yummy food and super service. Fun to hang out with Taylor at the bar! They don’t make unique items but they make things uniquely good!

Shout out to the chef! Their menu and food is unique with a fusion of flavors. One of Best tacos I’ve had. Crème brûlée is good.

Nice quaint spot. When visiting I would recommend you sit outside. The view of the area is nice to people watch. Great food options and wonderful service.

Stopped here on my OEC Sampler trek and I would say it was alright. Service was very slow and not because of the amount of customers. A friend and I only ordered what was offered on the OEC Sampler menu and I can definitely say I was taken a back by the price for two people ordering a one old town cocktail glass each and truffle fries. Now, if I came in there knowing the price of the preset menu item, I would think it was fair but I've never been anywhere where truffle fries and a regular cocktail cost more the $25 per person. We also ordered a goat cheese spread for our bread that was really good but that was only $5 or $6 which was fitting. We were there for over an hour and a half and not because of chit chat and enjoyment. The seating in the bottom half was limited and we were not allowed up (maybe private party). We also were only two people and told we couldnt sit at a two top table.... but another waitress sat us there anyway. However, the fries were good (small portion) and the cocktail choice they provided was nice but nothing to write home about. The slow service and the price tag were dampers but other than that, I get the draw to the place as it is unique in its set up. Maybe and off day? But wouldn't return to find out otherwise.

I came here for the OEC sampler and got the old town cocktail and truffle fries... along with some wine cheese. I'll start off by saying that it was a huge rip off and not worth it. When we arrived we were seated at a two top, but the lady tried to get us to leave first by saying well we only have that small two top, are you sure you want a table? We said that was fine and sat down. We were there for almost an hour and a half for some reason because it took forever to have someone come help us. Our drinks took like 20 minutes and the fries even longer. The cheese ended up coming out after almost an hour. The old town was alright. Not smooth at all and i think they didn't make a full drink. The truffle fries were burnt and for $8...the portion was barely a handful considering that its just potatoes doused in truffle oil. The wine cheese was good but after this last experience i will not be back here again.

Ekaterina is a wonderful server with excellent taste in wines - her suggestions are spot on, and shes energetic and attentive as well! Loved her.
Nice cozy bar. Weird hours. I've had the food here many times, and always leave underwhelmed. Drinks are best here.

If you're going to participate in an Ellicott city event...maybe be more welcoming and I don't know, make a deal where you aren't completely ripping off the customers. Coming here turned me off from the event in its entirety.

First timer here! My friend and I came to celebrate our birthdays and I'm so glad we did. Overall great gibes, amazing wine, and tasty small plates. Our server, Ekaterina, was super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were truly celebrating. She gave us great recommendations and I noticed she was just as attentive to her other tables. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food and service! Reminds me of the awesome wine bars in my Hudson Valley NY hometown..Ekaterina was charming and efficient. We will most definitely return.

Been coming to pure wine for years but last night was disappointing. We had a reservation for 6 people at 6 pm. 1 hour and 45 minutes into our apps the waitress comes up and says we need to leave because there is another party coming in at 8. We had only had appetizers. We were also drinking bottles of wine. No where on the website says 2 hour limit. Also the party of two who came in the same time as us didn't get kicked out at the two hour mark. Think you should make this more clear upfront and also gave your server check in and see if we want dinner or dessert! We also spoke to the manager who gave some excuse that he had no idea this was going on cause he had been in the kitchen all night.
