10Best Says

Inventive small plates, stylish decor and great wine (of course) attract crowds to this fun wine bar. Patrons nibble on delicacies such as fried brie and seared tuna with Asian noodle salad, and the award-winning wine list, boasting over 200 labels and offering many selections by the glass, allows you to sample a variety of interesting choices. The menu is designed by Chef Brian Mietus, and includes large plates like shrimp crusted mahi mahi, roasted duck breast with cherry porcini, and pork milanese, and there is even a separate menu entirely dedicated to cheese pairings. Service is skillful and attentive.
