"Amid the leafy, brownstone-lined Mount Morris Park Historic District, Barawine is an inviting dining room overseen by Fabrice Warin (formerly the sommelier at Orsay). This eye-catching space entices Lenox Avenue passersby to step in, sip and sup, either perched at the bar area’s communal table or seated in the quieter, more intimate back dining room. Whitewashed walls attractively double as wine storage throughout.The crowd-pleasing menu defies classification and embraces many influences. Quinoa salad with tofu and seaweed will please the disciplined, while mac and cheese loaded with béchamel, Gruyère and diced ham calls out to more indulgent palates. Pan-seared branzino with aromatic herbs and a drizzle of balsamic is a treat for all." - Michelin Inspector

"If it’s one of those Sundays when you have no plans to leave your apartment but you feel like you should really be out in the world, head to Barawine. It’s the kind of place that’s suited for drinking a glass or three alone, especially on Sundays, when they also have live music. This place is split into two sections, with a long bar on one side and a small dining room serving a big menu of French-ish American food on the other." - Neha Talreja, Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, The Curious Uptowner

Pleasant smallish restaurant and bar in a beautiful area of Harlem. The food was very good and the outside seating was perfect for nice weather. Who knew?

Nice spot for brunch or cocktails, but I would appreciate more non-pork options for the charcuterie. I’m not sure if the server was new the last time I went, but she messed up our order a few times. We don’t hold it against her, though, because she was very pleasant and friendly. I would’ve given the atmosphere a higher rating, but they were playing loud music for brunch, which didn’t match the setting nor Harlem on a Sunday morning.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Harlem for this long and only just now visited this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was fantastic (shoutout to Filip). I’m always hesitant ordering lamb dishes at restaurants because of how often they get them wrong, but I’m so glad I ended up ordering it. Perfectly fork tender, and the sauce it was served in was divine

I live on east harlem and love this restaurant on west 120st street. The wine selection is great and vegan food has improved over the years. I always have a quinoa salad with that is perfectly seasoned and today had a tomato bruschetta that was incredible with some rose Wine . Music and the service it is Always great. I highly recommend you come to this restaurant !

Excellent food, excellent service, great ambience. Perfect place to go for a business lunch/dinner. I got the burger and the French onion soup. Both were amazing. For dessert I also got the chocolate lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You will love this place.

The food is mediocre and the service poor and slow. After waiting almost 40 min for food during brunch service I was brought the wrong order (Eggs Benedict instead of Eggs Norwegian) but I didn’t even bother sending it back or it would have taken other 30 min. 3% surcharge for payment with credit card is just ridiculous in 2024.. Too bad because the location and the decor are nice. Will not be back and do not recommend.

I love Barawine. Such a great vibe and delicious food. I absolutely love their truffle fries. They are insane. The steak was delicious and so was the ravioli. I hear it’s really fun on Saturday night so I will definitely be back !

The food is good, a bit expensive but the place is very nice. I just don’t recommend this place for the fact that the waitress is charging 20% tip : they say that it’s the policy and we can’t change it. + 3% charge if you pay by card : for a bill over than 40$ per person Bad experience at the end!

The Branzino here is excellent, and the risotto is quite good as well. The drinks are enjoyable; I prefer their selection of champagne or wine, which is quite nice. Overall, it's a great restaurant to check out in Harlem.

Bryan F.

Yelp

If this place was 30-40% cheaper, I'd give it a very solid review. As it stands, the service and the food are completely subpar on a value basis. There are at least 5 places nearby that have better price to quality ratio.

U feel the real vibe of Harlem in this spot, perfect drinks and warm place. We don't try the food yet, but is our next homework. The music, love it the spot.

The salad nicoise truly is one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. HOWEVER the service was awful. The waiter never came back to check on us. We would have ordered more... so disappointing. Earlyish on a Monday evening.

Barawine is a cute spot - I live nearby and it's taken me forever to finally come in. Everything was very tasty and well done, plus I appreciated the inclusion of South African wines on the menu :) service was great too

Intimate quaint wine bar great for small groups, date night, or solo dates. The ambiance is very cozy, I love the idea of an island bar with seats on both sides. The perfect spot to meet and mingle with new people. The service was a bit slow. Didn't get to try the food, but the drinks are delicious.

Cute local Harlem spot. We've actually been twice: once with our 5 year old niece and small dog summer, and once for date night in the fall. Summer: we enjoyed the outdoor eating area for an early evening dinner; you have a great people-watching view onto Malcolm X Blvd. The kid's menu is tasty, and our niece enjoyed her pasta. The server was so sweet brought out a water dish for our pup, and it was easy to get him settled under our table. Service was quick and prices are on par for similar restaurants in the area. Fall: we sat inside in a very cute booth. The ambiance was off the charts and perfect for a cozy date night. We noticed many other couples enjoying the vibes, too, so it might not be the best choice to bring kids later in the evening for dinner service. We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. The food was good, but I think we chose poorly (our own mistake). Unlike our first visit, we didn't go for recommended specials or pasta, which seem to be the specialty. Instead, we went for tuna tartare and chicken breast for entrees, and a side of truffle fries. The dishes were fine and service was fast, but I wouldn't repeat-order either dish. Our first visit was positive, so we'll probably be back to try stronger dishes on the menu. My guess is that these two dishes are there for folks who *really* want them, but they aren't necessarily the stars of the menu. Definitely check this place out and then walk a block to Sugar Hill Creamery for dessert-- if you have room in your stomach!

It's a cute little swanky vibe in Harlem. Pretty decent winless overall good service. My friends and I went and the restaurant was able to accommodate special food request which generally probably wouldn't happen. The food had good flavor. The drinks were good there was music which set the ambience but it's actually kind of small inside. This is something for a cute date or you want a girlfriend just grabbing drinks. There were a few large parties there but again it's a small space. I did appreciate how beautiful their tree was and how festive the location was.

I've seen this several times walking by and finally decided to try it. Made a reservation via Open Table same night which was great. Arrived about 25 minutes early and we were sat right away. The hostess was very friendly as well as the waitstaff. Order two glasses of white wine and I didn't take the name down. For meals, we shared the French Onion soup. Now you must love cheese...because it had the most cheese, I've ever seen on top of French Onion soup! I did like that there was enough cheese to have some in every bite..so no complaints here. Escargot was next up and tasty....the bread dipped nicely into the leftover butter sauce. The didn't have the pork tenderloin as stated on the menu, substituting with pork chops. I can't recall the last time I've had a great pork chop, it was delicious! And the sauce could have been more it was soooo good. Lamb shank was the second entree and didn't disappoint with the polenta on the side. Gravy/sauce was to die for. No dessert on this round...but I will keep in mind an try other items on their menu.

My friend and I dined at this lovely place in Harlem for dinner recently. The interior is elegant, grown up, and refined with a cozy dining area. I wanted to try both the Hanger Steak and Porc Tenderloin, so we shared them. This proved to be an excellent idea. Surprisingly, I wasn't that impressed by the steak and much preferred the pork. The Hangar Steak looked amazing, cooked in a borderlaise sauce with mushrooms. Instead of the roasted potatoes, my friend asked for mashed potatoes. The sauce was tasty with rich depth of flavor of wine, shallots, and butter. However, the steak was bland and kind of tough. The mashed potatoes were pretty good though, and very creamy, filled with different seasonings. Porc Tenderloin was made with a mushroom sauce, served with roasted potatoes and string beans. The pork was delightfully tender, juicy, and simply delicious. The sauce was quite enjoyable as well. The potatoes and green beans were slightly crispy, very fresh and cooked perfectly. There was Chocolate Lava Cake on the menu, which I normally always order but decided against it since the price tag was high at $15. Service was great. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We were well taken care of throughout. That being said, the menu items are expensive, as most main courses are around $30+. I was also a bit disappointed by the quality of the steak, which I had high hopes for, so I am not sure I would return.

Katie B.

Yelp

Terrible experience. I just moved to the neighborhood and the bartender barely acknowledged me. Then he had no recommendations, by the time I decided on something it was a horrible experience. Inside is nice, so it's sad that they don't have good bartenders. Even when I got my bill he barely acknowledged me, I paid $20 for one glass which would have been perfectly fine if I had a good experience but it was very poor.

Amanda B.

Yelp

Food is fine- we had calamari and tiger shrimp. 2 stars for the $7 bread basket we didn't ask for and weren't told before it was just placed on our table, without a word, that it cost money. There is a 3 percent credit card fee and the service is a bit slow. Might come back but, really didn't appreciate being surprised with having to pay for something I didn't ask for.

Melissa D.

Yelp

I loved the ambiance and the unique lighting. The customer service was incredible. The bartenders kept asking if we were okay or needed anything. Overall it's a welcoming place. It was late so I had their Cobb salad and boy did I love it. We recommend this place to anyone.

I was visiting my old stomping grounds & took my friend out for her birthday to grab some snacks and she suggested this place. I was very happy with this place. We ordered some appetizers and a dessert. Very tasty. Quality ingredients. Cool ambience. I recommend if your in Harlem & want to have a seat & sip & snack on something.

Natalie P.

Yelp

I've been going here for the last couple of years and I just love the vibe here. I always sit at the bar and get the best service and everyone is so friendly. The charcuterie boards are everything and the frozé here is great. Not too sweet, just right! The calamari isn't worth getting here and neither is the hummus in my opinion, but everything else? Amazing. I love the burger and the ravioli the best, sooo good! And they have a pretty good happy hour, it's from 4-8 usually, I wanna say M-Thurs? But maybe til Friday I'm not sure. But the customer service and the way everyone makes you feel here is so special, I'll always be back!

Latha P.

This place is one of my friend's favorite places in the city and so she took me here for brunch. I had the vegetable quiche. You don't see it as much on brunch menu on the city and so I had to grab it. I was glad I did. It was quite delicious. My friend had a burger and enjoyed it as well. The décor is lovely and the whole vibe very uplifting. Service is also really good. So why did I take a star off? Coffee was tepid. We had to ask to change our coffees. Other than that, I have no complaints. It was a good experience.

Betsy G.

Yelp

Restaurant is lively, great DJ, the music is best and there is a large selection of wine. Sat in the back, saw another couple get up and leave because they waited so long. I waved for service and our order was taken. I ordered the steak medium well the inside was extremely red, tasted raw for half of it. I ate around it. Food is ok. Be mindful No fruit in sangria- If that's how you like it. Great place for drinks and bar food but sit at the bar.

Andrea C.

Yelp

It's been a couple of years since I've gone to this place and it's definitely gone downhill. Firstly, the waiter wanted to be anywhere but here. Maybe it's because of the automatic added gratuity they add to your bill, but the waiter just didn't give an eff about even to appear professional and courteous. Secondly, the food was very bad: just cheap subpar produce whipped up quickly. Never again.

G D.

Yelp

The only reason this place has two stars is because the food is very good, and the wait staff is also decent (though not as good as they used to be)-- otherwise it would be one star because management (and possibly ownership) is so awful. (Please take note owners, I do hope you actually read these reviews.) We had been coming here regularly for nearly 9 years and stopped last year because the management treats their staff horribly in front of guests! Today, after more than one year of absence, we decided to give them another chance. Sadly, it was a mistake. We discovered that a 20% gratuity is automatically applied to brunch for a party of four. Nothing on the menu states this, which the manager acknowledged. It is absolutely ridiculous for such a small party. While the waitress we had was serviceable, she was clearly a rookie and by no means worth 20%. She did not bother to come back to check on whether we liked the food, where we wanted more drinks, or whether we might want dessert. I don't know if it's a Gen Z thing, but 20% is not automatic. You need to earn that! It will be at least another year before we come back to this formally great restaurant. This is a family oriented neighborhood. Its clientele knows a good bottle of wine. Not sure if it's management or lack of ownership oversight. But things have changed significantly for the worse since it's opening, not sure if it's change of ownership or just bad management.

Cute little place in Harlem, cozy french American restaurant. Went for brunch and egg Benedict and their truffle fries were great. Eggs were perfectly runny and side of hash potato was crispy and fresh. Airy and bright atmosphere. Staff were courteous and place was packed. This is a good spot for brunch with friends and family.

Trendy D.

Yelp

The French onion soup and sangria was both bland. The soup was a thick layer of cheese on top which just tasted like plain melted mozzarella. The soup itself wasn't to great and very bland as well. The sangria tasted watered down. The price for these two things were $27. I won't be going back. There's a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating and they do offer HH.

I've given this place multiple chances because there are so few brunch places in Harlem now. Again I suffer disappointment. It's tiresome when these business gouge you with added gratuities on the bill. Apparently brunch has an "automatic" added gratuity. One which isn't stated anywhere when you make the reservation and not stated by anyone or listed anywhere when you arrive. It's definitely not listed on the dinner menu, which is the one we had. To top that as my reservation was at 4pm mid meal the waitress hands us the bill and says it needs to be closed out due to brunch ending. Wow couldn't even finish eating before you're asking me to pay for a meal I haven't even finished or maybe wanted to order more after. Typical of the establishments that hide prices gouge customers and show a continued disrespect for the community it serves. And when asked to speak to someone you get dull looks and vapid apologies that just further serve to infuriate. This place need to follow all of the post pandemic locations that didn't survive. It is ultimately my fault as I've given this place many a chance with my failures found then praise, the best way to deal with bad business is stop giving them your money and warn off others before they endure the aggravation.

Allie D.

Yelp

This place has a great vibe! They were packed when we got there but they were able to accommodate us at the bar, which had a wide table so you were sitting across from people (but enough space between you to make it feel separate). The servers are very friendly, but take a while to come and check on you - we had to walk up and ask for things a few times. Their menu has a vast array of options and there is something for everyone - I'm vegan and they had a special vegan pasta I was able to try. My boyfriend loved his chicken dish but my pasta was pretty dry and had a strange taste to it - I was expecting a Thai-inspired taste (since it was vegan Thai pasta) but instead it was overpowered with red pepper. The vegetables also did not taste very fresh. I would come to this place again but try a different dish for sure.

This is always a great place to casually catch up with friends. Nice neighborhood spot with a friendly staff. I recently went back for the first time in a while and was reminded of my one issue with this place. Every time I visit, my clothes have a heavy smell of fried food for whatever reason, and I must do laundry otherwise the smell persists for days. It makes me wonder about the overall the indoor air quality. And usually I don't see much cooking going on. This has always made me think twice about visiting the place. Otherwise, I still recommend it based on other aspects, if one is not sensitive to such.

Since I have visited Barawine twice . . . in one week, I guess that this place is becoming a regular spot for me. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to try any of the food, but I did enjoy the various selections of red wine. Actually, I should be honest. I like that there was a decent selection of wine, although my go-to wine for both visits was the Syrah. Aside from various types of libations, Barawine seems to have a very vibrant and robust atmosphere. I will say that sometimes the music can be a little loud for an "intimate" wine bar setting (which is the case for many of these Central Harlem "drinkeries"). During my first visit, my company and I felt like we were screaming at heat other, because the music was so loud.

Angela L.

Yelp

Nice restaurant for a bunch. Came here for a Labor Day dinner and the setting was really nice. Outdoor seating is on the sidewalk, not the street. Menu was full as was drink menu. Lots of options. I had the burger and it was very juicy and delicious. Had a Bellini and a margarita with it. The Bellini was made perfectly just the right champagne and peach ratio. The margarita was nice too however, they do not offer flavors with their margaritas which I think would've made it taste better. Overall, this place is worth checking out if you're doing a restaurant hop in Harlem during this outdoor seating time.

Elena S.

Yelp

What a cute place, I went with friends for some drinks and loved the decor very much. I had their French Velvet cocktail as well as their truffle fries to munch on, both were very good. I'll certainly visit again to have a full meal but if you're in the mood for some great wine or cocktails, they're also a good option!

Elianny S.

Yelp

This was my first visit back since it reopened, and it was quite disappointing. We sat outside and ordered the hanger steak and burger. Even though we were seated outside they brought the food out in a to go bag with no explanation, it was just strange because other people were seated outside so I'm not sure if they just assumed we were not staying to eat there but it was very offputting. The food itself was also disappointing, my burger was overcooked even though I asked for medium rare. I've been here several times but this might be my last visit

Lauren F.

Yelp

This is a very cute place! We came in at noon on a Sunday for brunch. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. I had the Eggs Florentine: Poached eggs, English muffin, Canadian bacon, Hollandaise, house salad and roasted potatoes. The espresso was also delightful. The restaurant was pleasantly decorated, mostly with wine, because I get it, the word 'wine' is in the name of the restaurant. I appreciated the friendliness of the service and that they kept our water refilled throughout the meal. I would definitely come back to try some of their other menu items and of course the wine.

Let me start by saying I'm mad I have ventured to Harlem sooner. I saw this restaurant on the show 'Run The World' on Starz so when I picked girls night out i immediately thought of this place. When we arrived around 6pm there were a few people at tables outside but we sat at the bar inside. My girls ordered red sangria and I opted for a bottle. The server/bartender Mielle (sp) was super dooper fabulous. What I thought was a bar was actually a double sided table. It held about 15 people on 1 side and 10 in the other. There is also a back area that is more of the traditional restaurant. The vibe was unmatched. We ordered dinner and moved from the bar/table to a traditional table in the front. I had the steak, one of my friends had a vegan dish and the other had the lamb. Everything was seasoned to perfection and the portions were plentiful. The the show came about 8pm and played all r&b oldies from rhe 80's and 90's. It was amazing. Not overrun by colonizers. I will surely venture to Harlem again. This place is amazing.

Barawine Harlem is a French wine bar and restaurant located within the Mt. Morris Historic District of Harlem. This review is for the Raclette Special only: After reading some of the Yelp reviews about the Raclette Special, I was hesitant of trying it but I'm soooo glad we did! There was 4 of us dining tonight, and we all had the Special. What a spread! Visually appealing and yummy in our tummies! LOL Was the food worth $25? Probably not, but when you throw in the delightful ambiance/music and being able to have a nice, leisurely two hour dinner.....totally worth it! Oh, and it also helps when you're in great company! :) Here's what's included in the Raclette Special @ $25 per person: ~ Raclette: served with potatoes, pickles and bread - The raclette is NOT the one where the melted cheese on the wheel of cheese is scraped onto your plate. Instead, you are served sliced pieces of cheese (2 types of cheese) to grill on your own on the grill. Once the cheese is melted to your liking, you scrape it off the grill and onto your potatoes and/or bread. Potatoes were well seasoned and delicious on their own but with the melted cheese....so delicious! The bread is served in small pieces and the pickles really complemented the dishes well. ~ Charcuterie Plate: Parisian Ham, Saucisson Sec, Mortadelle, Speck, St Daniele & Rosette - all of these meats were delicious; especially when grilled! Each piece of meat had their own distinctive flavor and went so well with the cheeses and bread. All-in-all, a very satisfying meal. I would love to return to Barawine to try some of their regular menu items! Oh, btw, they do have a happy hour, but only at the bar. We were seated at a table, so we couldn't take advantage of their happy hour. Boo!!! Big thumbs down! Happy Hour (from 4-8pm): Select wine & beer ($6); select sparking ($7); Well Drinks ($5)

Came here last night and everything was fantastic! Their restaurant was beautifully designed and the island bar was unusual but amazing and definitely demands attention. First time, really, seeing something like this and if my group didn't have dinner reservation made, I would have totally sat at the island instead. The vibe was great and being that this is a French restaurant and wine bar, everyone spoke French. Very impressive indeed. We came specifically for their Raclette special and boy-oh-boy were we in for a treat!!! For $25 per person and the experience itself was priceless. Mainly because there aren't many restaurants that allows you to heat up your cheese individually while dining so it can slowly melt onto your food. This process gave us time to chat and catch up and the whole dining experience took about two hours! I would definitely come back here again when I get the chance to try some of their dishes from their regular menu. But more importantly, I want to enjoy my glass of wine at their island bar just because it's so beautifully decorated.

Last night we had a double date at this restaurant. Although the atmosphere was perfect, the service and food was beyond poor. 1. Asked the waitress what gins they have. She has to ask the bar, which is completely fine, but upon returning a mere :30 seconds later her response was, "Bombay, Hendricks and I forgot the third." This was not a good sign and you'll see why. BTW... the gin and tonic just tasted off. Either not the proper balance or the tonic was flat. 2. We ordered our meal, which the waitress did not write down. We asked to start with a Cheese plate. What comes out is the Charcuterie plate. We send it back. 3. Cheese plate comes out and understand cheeses need to be refrigerated, but at $24 they should have a plan for them to be closer to room temp. All cheeses were just so cold. And to put out CLUB CRACKERS is pitiful. 4. Our dinners arrive and guess what, rather than bringing one guest the raviolis she's ordered, it was the spaghetti. 5. Putting aside the food was ok and didn't live up to the cost... to have on the bill that there is a 3% charge on credit cards is astounding. That was just salt in the wound.

Yelp

Happy hour review only! This is a great after work spot to grad some happy hour drinks and snacks. Very trendy and very very loud inside. When the weather is nice there are a few tables outside. It's usually pretty crowded but we always find seats. The seating is a little strange as there is a bar that is not an actual bar. And then a few high tops by the the windows. The rose and sangria are both great and we usually end up with a couple of glasses of one of those. There's a great selection of happy hour snacks from burgers to wings to hummus to guacamole to calamari. All really good! Just had the calamari the other night and it's perfectly crispy and not oily at all (Pro tip - get some buffalo sauce for your calamari, yummm). All in all, this is a great happy hour spot in Harlem.

Over the years I've passed this place so many times and I finally stopped in for brunch one Sunday. Food was meh at it's best. We order Norwegian benedict, Croque Monsieur and a Madame plus french toast as an afterthought. The only thing I was impressed with was the potatoes with the Benedict and the french toast. The fruit salad on the french toast was okay, but def not fresh. $18 bottomless mimosas/bellinis were great because the carafes are left at your table and can be refilled. Our waitress was great, charming and dealt with our antics. Not on my list of neighborhood must come back to's so I am glad I got the visit out of my system.

Came here last night for the first time. The hostess greeted me warmly and I sat at the bar while I waited for my friend to arrive. The ambiance here is great and they have a large selection of wines. The food was very underwhelming (got the burger and truffle fries) and by the end of the night the service began to wane. I would come back here but only for drinks and hors d'oeuvre.

Friday night chilling in Harlem with Rosé wine as the Power Of One definitely calm my mindset to end an exhaustive burnt out week. I sat at Barawine's unusual island bar which optimize space which works best for small restaurants. There were hooks for ladies' bags and electrical outlets to charge tech gadgets under the bar counter. The wine menu is extensive and happy hour includes red, white and Rosé wines at $6.00 each. Their Risotto and Cobb salad entrées are what attracts me for a return visit. Fresh bread with olive oil is offered upfront by a staff member which enable patrons to choose from a bread basket. Service is efficient and attentive. I ordered their Prosciutto fig salad $15.00 which is small and minimal. The interior is set to a country theme in classic white as well as their facility. Their facility is clean which includes a baby changing table with a blue cushion and seat belt. This wine bar was full for a Friday night which resulted in boisterously loud chatter background and seating fills quickly.

Even thought I'm giving this place three stars. I will go back. I think this visit was just an off day for them. The resturant is beautiful. There's patio seating, a traditional dining room and a long family style table across from the dining room. I went there for brunch with a group of 9. They offer a bottomless mimosa special (which is always a win). The brunch menu is a little limited with no many options. Many of us opted for the Niçoise salad. (Pro tip: swap the iceberg lettuce for spinach). I thoroughly enjoyed my salad, others were on the fence. Another friend ordered the Benedict and was pleased. One of my friends had to return her order twice, and it still wasn't right. The waiter made it a point to place the blame on the kitchen and not him. Management was nice about it and removed it from the bill, but my friend left hungry. Other small things went wrong from wrong food, cold food and a lack of attention from the waiter. The best thing about the brunch was the DJ. She was GREAT. She played the perfect brunch, grown person tunes. As I mentioned earlier, I will be back and hope for a better experience.

My friends who live in the area described this place as a mix of locals and European tourists and that seems about right. The DJ was playing Prince most of the brunch hour, the entire place is as beautiful as the pictures look, and unlimited mimosas are offered for $18! My croque madame was delicious, as was my gin based drink (they recently got a full liquor license.) Friend (and closeted gin-hater): "ok, so now all I smell is Christmas trees" Anyhow... Great classy brunch in Harlem

First time at this restaurant it has a lot of noise because the music is loud and ppl talk louder but that's ok . We god the portobello goat cheese and it was amazing . And then I got the lamb shank OMG probably the best lamp shank I ever eat , it was delicious definitely I be back for that . Dessert was just ok

Great drinks and music! Perfect atmosphere for Sunday Funday with the crew. It was the day of marathon and the spot is perfectly located in close proximity to cheer on our runner friends.

It's just a great neighborhood spot. I had wanted to go for awhile and we finally got a table. The staff was really nice. The wine was good. It's just a great place to end your day with a drink and a bite. I will go back.

Great place. Great food and great drinks. I highly recommend it. I love the communal atmosphere of the bar area. No reason to get a table.

Lovely atmosphere and vibe. Enjoyed the drinks and people watching on the patio. Also enjoyed sitting at the bar which wrapped around to the other side. Good date spot or just to hang with friends.
