I have some friends in Astoria and have enjoyed coming with them to this newly opened spot. It is a refreshing alternative to other bars/restaurants in the area - offering top quality wine and food without the treck into Manhattan. The food is both light and satisfying - they have some inventive appetizers and quite an extensive array of options, especially considering this is a wine bar.
The wines are excellent and there quite a few options by the glass. The management and owners interact with everyone in the restaurant, making recommendations and pouring wines themselves.
Overall, this place has a warm - local bar feeling with the upscale ambiance & menus that one would expect in Manhattan. I'm excited about the wine tasting classes and new events coming up at this venu!
Pros: food and wine menu are great, ambiance is upscale, reasonable prices
Cons: parking may be challenging
