"Justine's could exist on an asteroid inhabited by aliens with good taste. This dark, kooky Frogtown wine bar behind Just What I Kneaded—it's owned by the same people—is illuminated by light fixtures made of porous rock and a glowing orb behind the bar that draws your gaze like a UFO sighting. There are wall murals of lounging blue goddesses and retro speakers play dream pop as you sink into a velvet booth with a bottle of chilled red. Merely sitting in Justine's is an experience, and it's made even better by the fact that you can have a full meal here. The vegan, Italian-leaning menu includes small, blistered pizzas, meatless lasagna on Sunday nights, and a delicious mushroom "calamari" that's a spot-on clone of the real thing.
