It was Sunday night, the restaurant was empty except for us, and we received what I consider the absolute worst service I've ever experienced. It was mostly (90%) due to our server, but the management really did nothing despite complaints (polite, discreet complaints at first that escalated as the evening went on). I can't even recall the quality of the wine and food, due to the overwhelmingly poor server. If management had rectified the situation, maybe I'd go back and give it another try...

And thanks for reporting on the audible ambience. I hope that somebody will report on the food side of the menu as well. Thanks for this report; I’ve wondered.

I'm sure their target audience is people coming in too eat, rather than just fun or casual drinkers. They sell wine by the glass and bottle for diners, but plenty were also going the tasting route and they obviously had access to bred and water at their table.

That's disappointing that they don't have a way for you to cleanse your palate. Do they allow you a way to clean your glass between tastings? Or to get a new glass? Thx for the review.
