"Birdie’s wine list reads like a thesaurus. There’s a $127 Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre labeled as “Sauve,” a $132 Carricante from Sicily described as “Beguiling,” and an $81 French Mouvèdre that will leave you “Spellbound.” Plus, the people watching and the actual wines here are so good that it’s one of the best places to spend a Tuesday night in the entire city. It’s the perfect spot for sitting around by yourself and trying to guess who’s on a first date. Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Syrah from Saint-Joseph, France" - carlo mantuano
