Katie Pitre: Friendly staff, unique playlist that drowns out busy 2nd ave, cozy design, and great wine selection!
Harry: Nice, cozy little wine bar. Decent selection of wines and finger food. Conveniently located. However, the music does not suit the place and decor imho
Sexy LF: Nice selection of wines by the glass and a great, classy after-work scene. This isn't your popcorn and peanuts on the counter crowd.

Mary P: Great rooftop bar! Great fish, great lamb, great duck!
Razorfish: A favorite rooftop bar come Spring and great place for entertaining clients.
Joanna Flamm: Fried Chicken Fridays are a perfect place to take a date. $25 for fried chicken, two sides, dessert, and live jazz. Make a reservation; they often fill up.
