"While some wine bars feel stuffy and intimidating, you can go to Uvae without fear of a pop quiz on tannins and spumante at the end of your night. At its busiest, it has the atmosphere of a friendly neighborhood supper club with a long wine list, good food, and a knowledgeable staff. They can help you find the ideal pairing for anything on the menu, which has dishes like buttery short rib wellington, creamy mushroom maltagliati, and spiced carrots on top of a chickpea-sauerkraut puree that’s best finished via the “lick the plate” method. They also offer Happy Hour seven days a week—but don’t ask us about wine grape specifics since we left our cheat sheets at home." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
