It's rare that true quality and value coincide to create a wholly satisfying experience. Scott, Stephanie and Steve, the owners of Carpe Diem manage to do it quite well, especially during the hours of 4 and 6pm. Their daily happy hour is not only a great deal, with high quality $6 reds and whites of the week and $3.50 draft beers, but their happy hour bar snacks are truly delicious. It's not so rare that a quick nibble of their truffle popped corn (!) and fantastic cheese and charcuterie plate has lured people in. Often, before you know it, what started as an innocent snack became a gateway to the other delicious small plates on the wine bar's menu. The staff is knowledgeable about wine, friendly and attentive.
