    Great food, drinks, ambience, and service. A worthwhile culinary experience. Highly recommend! The server's suggestions were helpful and great. Passion for food and drinks was in the air. The seats were a bit uncomfortable, but don't let that stop you from making a visit.

    Wine flights and glass pours of so many unique wonderful wines paired with delicious tapas makes for one of the better nights out with friends I’ve had in a long time. Service is prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about all things wine. So great!

    Absolute gem for any city and in any country. From start to finish, absolutely loved the entire experience from the ambience and waiting staff right up to the owner /chef. The wine experience is incomparable for whatever you crave,and the food is so lovingly prepared,so tasty, and so good. It feels like you’re in good friends home. There is great passion and knowledge from everyone who works here. I will be back.
