a friend of mine and i popped in here randomly when we had semi-plans with a group of friends a couple blocks away. we decided to stay. the food was delicious and our bartender paired us with a wine in our price range that was perfect. we were both surprised at how pleased we were with the bottle since we have tastes that tend to run opposite but somehow our host (Yann) was able to solve the quandry. everyone working there was pleasant despite being somewhat busy. in addition the food was well made, tasty and the portions were right on considering the food was very rich. I had been testing a couple of wines bar recently and this one was easily my favorite. the best thing about it was the fact that the outside was deceptively plain compared to the lovely indirect lighting and general layout. in conclusion i was back there less than a week later for my birthday. (btw the wine pour was what a wine pour is supposed to be..unless you are a hummer-toting-big-mac-type)
Pros: service, ambiance, food
Cons: it might get busy if people catch on
