Love this place so much! Wine tasting nights are fun and more personalized than most wine bars. Food is fantastic, especially the Flatbread specials, fish specials, and the Carbonara. All the food is good though! Wine is consistently great, even the happy hour ones are fabulous and taste just as good as the higher-priced glasses. This is a perfect place for date night or a night out with a friend. I even came with my family (there were 5 of us total) and they were very accommodating (although I wouldn't recommend this place for big groups larger than 6 or so). Highly recommend, and love that I can walk here with my husband from our apartment! Stephanie and the rest of the staff are awesome.
A friend and I stopped in the other night for the first time and were warmly welcomed by both owners. The food selection is unique and varied and they went out of their way to accommodate by gluten "issues." I had the stuffed pepper -- it was extremely flavorful and paired deliciously with the Bordeaux red wine I had. You'll find a plethora of excellent wine options to select from. Eric, husband of the husband/wife owner duo used to be a wine rep and has a knack for unearthing exceptional wines at reasonable price points that you won't find at the big retailers. Next is to come back for the wine tasting on Wednesday or Thursday night!
The owner Eric loves to share his vast knowledge about wine with his guests! Always feel very welcomed here and the food pairs well with the wines. Every week there are new wines to try, and the focus is on great wines that are affordable. Guest from wineries and distributors every week on hand to pour their offerings.
Tucked away, off a side street, this delightful, corner wine bar offers a nice, relaxed atmosphere in which to unwind. The wines by the glass that we tried were overwhelmingly lovely. I discovered a new favorite, summer white. When we bought a bottle to drink there, our hostess alerted us that the price on the bottle was the retail price and that there was an additional corking fee. While we were well aware of the prevalence of corking fees, we appreciated that she wished to avoid any later confusion regarding our tab. Even with the corking fee, the bottle was an exceptionally fine wine for a cheaper price per glass by comparison to those wines offered per glass on the menu. So, it's worth perusing their wall of wines, even if you're inclined to drink in rather than carry out. However, as it's a dollar off, per glass, during happy hour, I highly recommend swinging by early after work if you are in the neighborhood. As for the food, we were thoroughly pleased. I love castelvetrano olives and this is the first place I've visited that specifically offers them as an appetizer. The garlic roasted 'cheesecake' with crostini was heavenly and while salads are a cornerstone offering of every restaurant, their house salad, particularly their vinaigrette, impressed me. I look forward to returning their soon.
This is a great, warm and friendly neighborhood haunt that is learning to do some remarkably innovative things. the most recent wine and chocolate tasting (in cahoots with Bernard's Chocolates of Lake Oswego) was "over the top" interesting. Any given night, it's a great place to kick back and enjoy some healthy and wholesome food and wine that's nicely curated. Owners/staff are wonderful. Can't say enough good.
Nice cozy spot to enjoy a glass or bottle of wine. The owner is a lovely person who clearly enjoys her business. Every wine has a story and you will find some unique vintages here.
Stopped in on a weekday morning as a visitor from out of town. It was a good choice, the place had a small stream of locals. The coffee and quiche I chose was really quite good, and the server was very friendly! She was also very sweet and gave myself and my 9 m.o. son extra attention, which was appreciated since traveling with an infant is tiring. Definitely recommend as a stop off the beaten path.
Yummy quiche! Great happy hour wine choices--begin at 11am! Sue makes super Soup each day, an inspired quiche and unique paninis but everything she creates is delicious!
Wonderful coffee and pasties, too.
