A few friends and I recently had a great experience here. You walk in and the space oozes hip, sophisticated elegance. Clean comfortable lines and warm, dark woods along with other natural materials create an atmosphere,together with the lighting, that is rather enticing. We arrived slightly early for our 8:00 reservation and were quickly sat by the welcoming hostess. The purpose of our visit was the Monday Night Flights series; one winery (Babcock), six wines, each paired with a small dish.
We had a ball!
The pours were more than generous (nearly full glasses!) and the bites were quite good ranging from a Nancy's Camembert sandwich paired with a Pinot Grigio, to a Cabernet paired with Skirt Steak with figs. Other highlights included rabbit gnocchi, oxtail with red cabbage and dried cherry and Tasmanian sea trout tartare. The woman running the "seminar" made it all very comfortable and inviting, taking on all questions from a group with very different levels of wine experience from beginner to pro.
The cheese menu turned out to be rather dissapointing with relatively few options and the "composed" cheese ended up being little more than a hunk of fourme d'ambert with some almonds, figs and greens around it.
All in all we had a great time and I hope to soon return for a meal. If you can though I would highly suggest Monday Night Flights...just make sure you call a cab.
