So-so wine bar experience.

Overall, not a bad experience, but not a great one either. Restaurant could spare some of the trendiness for more functional items like larger tables, easier-to-hold water glasses, etc. Service was great - friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good, but nothing special. Nice adult ambiance, but almost trying too hard with all the trendy decor. Wine okay - again, nothing special, but they really seem to think it is as they have gone to great trouble to describe their wines in a booklet menu that would make you think you were going to be drinking the most amazing imported wine the world has to offer, when you're really just getting a glass of basic Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec, etc. Overall, a bit pricey for what you get.
