    Great for coffee shop working. WiFi is fairly reliable, lots of plugs and tables. Lunch food is lovely too. Just remember that at 5pm it turns back into a wine bar so laptops go away 😊.

    Valet ripoff of $8. Didn't take my keys or drive the car. Just told me where to park. Totally worth $8! Came out after spending $100 and was gone and customers were parking on their own. Awesome!!!

    Friends- Wednesday nights they were selling all the bottles on the menu, all of them, for $20. Just insane. Food wasn't bad, and that wine deal makes this place a winner on Wednesday!

    The handsome bartender amazingly delicious hummus and appropriately priced wine does does not make up for the poor wait staff that are clumsy and gawk over mediocre looking guys

    Good space to take a break but music is quite loud and ventilation from kitchen isn’t good so you can feel the food and grease sitting in the air.
