"Helmed by Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel alongside James Beard Award–winning beverage professional Arjav Ezekiel, this wine bar and restaurant attracts eager pre-opening lines and takes care of patrons even before they sit down — servers hand out a nostalgic magenta plastic pitcher of cold water to those waiting in the sun. The menu skews summer-friendly and patio-oriented, with highlights including a beet tartare, a comforting penne alla vodka, and an unexpectedly luscious sweet corn soft serve for dessert, all enjoyed best with a bottle of wine on the shaded patio as gentle breezes cool the space." - Kayla Stewart
