I love the downtown location of this car, but am not crazy about this one. The bar seating is really obtrusive: the bar is quite high and the high chairs are really heavy and it's just all too big, heavy, clunky and...unwelcoming and uncomfortable. The wine is on par with the other location, and they seem to have invested in nice stemware, but it's not quite as nice as the other location (the stemware at the other location is actually a draw for us!). And the food is similar, but a little different. The portions seemed smaller, but it's hard to say. The service was fine, but there was some sort of tasting going on when we went and so the service seemed preoccupied with that. I'm really glad there is a nice wine bar in the neighborhood that has natural wines! But I wish it had some outdoor seating, or more comfortable and accessible indoor seating. And it's really dark inside, but not in the way that creates a mood. Lastly, they have quite limited hours (T-Sat, 5-?). I think if you are in the area and looking for a glass of natural wine and don't mind being shrouded in a dark, uncomfy cave, it works (but only T-Sat eves after 5). I do like the NA options on the menu. It's kust not an appealing physical space. If you are in the area, you may as well go to Eataly (for wine)...or go for cocktails instead: the neighborhood is riddled with craft cocktail bars, but it's not a wine bar destination.
