I loved this place!!! I was checking out places to book for my birthday party next week and I saw a review of this place in New York Magazine. Being that in the magazine they called it a wine dwellers place, it was something to check on. (if you didn’t guess, I am into wine)

The place was everything and more to fulfill our expectations. The decorum is cozy and nice. It does look a bit like a vine cellar, with all of the exposed walls and candle light, but glorified with chandeliers.

The food is phenomenal, very good, the only thing portions are small, so don’t come there on an empty stomach. I had two main courses to fulfill my appetite.

Wine selections is great and the waiters are helpful in selecting a bottle that you will love.

Considering that the music is not too loud and you don’t have to shout to talk o your friends, this one definitely climbed the charts on my list, and we will most certainly be back there.

Word of the wise, come early to beat the crowd it gets really packed after 8:30, and in these neighborhood there are not a lot of places nearby to go somewhere else, unless you are ready to settle for a take out Chinese food.
