Emily WilsonNovember 10, 2018Amazing wine and tons of fun. Menu changes all the time; Ruffian is doing things their way. But but but- if the cauliflower soup happens to be available, get it!
- Incredible selection of interesting wines from around the world, including Portugal, Hungry & Georgia. Talk to the friendly owners / sommeliers at the bar, and have your mind blown glass after glass.
Micah ChilesSeptember 28, 2018Great interesting wine list, tons from uncommon, old-world places - Georgia, Slovenia, etc. Knowledge, kind staff especially if there is a wait. Ventilation is poor - the back can be a bit smoky
Jessi SinghAugust 29, 2017A true gem of a place! They are truly hospitable, sharing way beyond their incredible wine and food offerings. I love that they are generous storytellers and that they engage genuinely with guests.
Nick LosiNovember 3, 2018Fantastic atmosphere, fun and authentic and patient somms, and a wine menu that challenges and rewards all do a disservice to describing just how much of a gem this spot is.
Amazing wine bar with an incredibly unique wine list. Ask the the bartenders for a recommendation!
AdrienApril 15, 2016I had the chance to stop by while they were cooking, the lamb pie and beef brisket pies smelled amazing. Wine list very sophisticated
Steven YMay 17, 2016Amazing happy hour deal from 5-7PM - 5 appetizers for $5 each and an affordable selection of wines by the bottle as well- The somms here are great - patient and knowledgeable!!
- DoubleDeuceOctober 15, 2018Sit by the front so that you can enjoy the smells of the cooking but beware, your clothes will flavored (wonderfully!) too.
Nicolette RomeroApril 16, 2016Cozy spot where you can watch them cook your meal right in front of you. Great wine selection! 🍷
Ina LiFebruary 21, 2016A great selection of wine with a continuing developing bar menu. Try the red wine Braucol! Friendly owners on service :)
