As excited as we were to try the place after reading the write ups it was quite disappointing unfortunately. the wines suggested to us by the expert just lacked any real body. There was a guy who seemed to be running the place, we asked to see him because we saw how knowledgeable he seemed with some other customers but he was too busy. I was really hoping to get a real education on wine. So meh, not worth the expense. The food was not bad, although their bacon wrapped something was good.

Really enjoyed the wine and food. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and recommended awesome wines to pair with the food. It helped that we were seated at the bar and got free nibbles from the awesome staff. This is going to be our regular haunt!

Go do a flight of three to have a taste of very good wine of different grapes, and then get the bottle of your favourite wine. Along with the drink, order some good food too. Great.

Amazing place. The Sommelier is very knowledgeable, and the salmon is good. The people serving are friendly, but unfortunately, the Enomatic wine dispenser isn’t operating. I was there to actually have a look at the wine dispenser. Despite that, it is still an amazing place to chill.

Got to try a special flight of wines menu (which was a gift from a friend). Didn't expect much but walked away impressed with the variety offered, and even more surprising was that the food fared very well too. The combination was such a pleasant experience that we returned very soon after . Alas the chef was on leave and the food wasn't quite the same.

Love this cozy wine bistro. Food (especially the beef cheeks) is always good and the sommeliers are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Good selection of bottles in their cellar.
