My husband & I went to Division yesterday with the intent to patronize Victory Wine Bar. As luck would have it, we didn't know they open atl 5pm so we walked a couple blocks down &....serendipity...happened upon Eugenio's. I believe the cafe is named after the gentleman who owns the place ( and waited on us) but I could be wrong. By his own admission, he has one red, one white and one champagne but all you need is one good bottle and the red was wonderful. As we sat at the bar, it became clear quickly that this place is a neighborhood favorite and rightfully so. 'Eugenio' and the young gal working with him are friendly, warm, inviting. I can not attest to the food but the menu had some wonderful offereings & Victory actually buys their meat from Eugenio's (an employee picked up the evening meat order while we were sipping) so that tells you something. The place is small; seating for 5-6 at the bar and about 10 tables on the floor. My husband & I intend to come again for lunch and, who knows, maybe we'll strum the guitar in the bathroom next time! Hey, a place with Leonard Nemoy's LP on the wall is worth a pause.
