Reviews

Odd location in commercial zone and building, but they did a good job converting space into a restaurant (upstairs) and a wine shop (downstairs).
The wine shop is actually very nice, warm and welcoming, with a great variety of offerings.
Restaurant is a little cramped, but again, owners did a good job in decorating the space with bright colors. Food is very very good.
Had the branzino entree which was a little bland yet somehow enjoyable and well balanced.
Mushroom appetizer was out of this world.
Our friends also raved about their salads (Lyonnaise and leg of lamb salads).
Waitress was super friendly and highly efficient.
Food came very quickly.
We went during happy hour, and food cost per couple, including an appetizer, a shared bottle of wine, and no desserts came up to $130 including tip.

Excellent service.
Extensive wine list, yet you can purchase a bottle at their store at retail price and drink it.
Saving some money.
Their corkage fee is also very reasonable.
The cheese plate selection is not fantastic.
The duck and lamb are very good.
Incredibly, the potatoes and veggies were a miss.
Very limited selection of digestives and dessert.

Upstairs of their wine shop, it's a cute little restaurant.
Unfortunately we found their food hit or miss.
The escargot smelled great but light on flavor.
The bread and butter were nice.
The dry aged ribeye was a pretty poor cut.
Too thin and not very rich.
The duck two ways was great as a leg confit but the breast was chewy and tough as well as flavorless.
The restaurant did take the duck off the bill.
They had an interesting blackberry sorbet and a balsamic strawberry dessert which at least provided us some new flavors. Service was mostly attentive and the Cabernet I had wasn't bad, but it's too bad the food was just not up to par.
