    Hamachi crudo. Excellent. Advise to remove the seeds from Serrano pepper
    Rebecca C.

    I had a fantastic experience at this little hideaway with natural wines. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat in the garden behind the restaurant on a hot summer day and it was an oasis.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent wine selection. I order 4 half glasses and everything paired perfectly with the food. I came here on Sunday ($2 per oyster) and the wines were excellent and the food surprisingly good. MUST GET: - oyster with champagne from romaine guiborat. - hamachi crudo - roasted maitake paired with local orange (Buona Notte mortadella from Columbia George in Washington). Maitake was served with pinenut and rice crumble, which was delightful. I put the sauce with hamachi crudo in the roasted maitake and it elevated the taste. It can use a bit more balsamic vignegrette or lemon juice to elevate the mushroom taste even more. - dessert wine (2021 romaine ogereau, chenin blanc) was delightful. Very balanced. Subtle sweetness with perfect balance of citrus notes. A bit of apricot on the nose. A fine ending to the delightful dinner. Solid: Spaghetti with morel. Paired with 2023 Bruno verdi from oltrepo pavese Italy. I really liked the pecorino cheese that tempered the salty-ness of the spaghetti. I think the food would be better with a bit less oil. The spaghetti almost reminded me of the Asian noodles vs traditional spaghetti.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]plan your next girls night out at a cozy wine bar, it's hidden down an alley way and will start the night off right![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] they offer a french wine list, cocktails, and small plates of snacks. we wanted to sit down and start the night at a cozier location. we ordered cocktails and small plates to share. our bites to eat were great touches to our drinks. we were able to sit down and quickly order right away. snack plates came out timely as well. 次の女子会は、居心地がいいワインバーでお話し話して楽しむバーで過ごしてみませんか?フランス産ワイン、カクテル、小さめのスナックなどをごメニューにだしております。女子会楽しんでね!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute intimate wine bar! Perfect for date night or girls night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a good selection of wines (I don't know much about wine), but I enjoyed what I got. I would get a bottle to get a better deal if sharing with others! The servers had good recommendations if you don't know where to start. The lobster roll was good but tiny for $18. It was like 3 bites.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Okay, this place is cute![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entrance is down a narrow alleyway off of NW 21st, but there's more seating inside and outside than you might think.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a nice wine list with a small but mighty menu. Great chicken liver mousse. I was excited for the lobster roll but honestly found it lacking. Definitely not my favorite lobster roll, and I thought it was a small portion for the price, but it was still enjoyable. The service was friendly and fun, and we felt like we could talk without being rushed or having to raise our voices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The noise level when I went here with a friend was good: a nice upbeat vibe without being too quiet or too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go here again!

    Bar Diane was quaint with nice appetizers, good gluten free options for some guests. Good quality ingredients such as hamachi crudo and burrata. Great olives too, small but important. Very good drink menu and bar staff. Would go back sometime, but no rush.

    Lamb Tagliatelle
    Ploy N.

    Underwhelming...The prices were insanely high for how little food we got...My friend literally finished his risotto in 2 minutes because there were at most four tablespoons of it. The taste of the food wasn't bad but the portion was ridiculously small for price tags of $30+. I got the Lamb Tagliatelle which was also very small and bland. The lamb was tender though. I see that they try to be novel and creative with their dishes which is great but you can't be cutting the portion this badly and still have a massive price tag. Service was also mid. We waited awhile for our food and almost got double charged. Would not be back again.

    Great cocktail bar! I came here with some girl friends one night and had a great time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a bit hidden, but once inside, the ambiance is very laid back and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was kind, and pretty quick. We tried a couple cocktails here and the food and it wasn't bad! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the vibe here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Braised Octopus $26
    Ben C.

    Cute, cute, cute! Snuggled into a back alley corner, charming setting, perfect two and not more. Food most definitely on the pricey end but all delish. Service ~ excellent. Personable, attentive & sweet. Perfect spot for a few glasses of natural & sparkling wine.

    Dozen oysters
    Jen V.

    After an awesome visit last summer I knew I had to come back for this sunny March weekend. We ordered the raspberry hibiscus shrub, old fashioned (off menu), and a glass of their Champagne. They were all so good! To eat we had the milk bread rolls + honey (I could've eaten 4 of these orders), octopus, hangar steak, dozen oysters (incredible), and chicken liver mousse. All the staff were so friendly and the service was great! The outdoor patio with lights was absolutely perfect for a sunny weekend.

    this is definitely a hidden gem right by negociant as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cozy aesthetic vibes indoor and outdoors, heated patio available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]While it is on the more upscale end, super intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We met up for drinks and bites and started with espresso martinis 10/10 substituted with tequila. We got the chicken liver mousse with the sardines. The sardines were definitely my favorite with the milk rolls. Service was great over all. Parking is a bit hard to find. In total it came out to $30 each for all the above.

    This is the spot. Full, lively, definitely seemed like the place to be if you're into wine. We paid a lot for a pretty small lobster roll but it was tasty. We really need to try the other food. Our server was really helpful with trying to figure out what to pair with our taste and food.

    Hidden down the side of the building it's inconspicuous and cute! Right next to Eb & Bean

    Cute and cozy neighborhood bar. If that's what you're looking for, Bar Diane is your jam. We had dinner nearby and wanted some cocktails. I am a sucker for good branding and when I pulled the website up I WAS sucker punched by the cuteness of it. Some cute cocktails grabbed my attention and I loved the website, and it was a 6 minute walk. So winner winner cocktail dinner!!!! I had a Telenovela after I was informed, sadly, that they'd run out of Aperol, so I couldn't have the Control Disco. It was lovely. Refreshing, crisp, lemony and light. Perfect for a hot summer day. My husband went with the Water of Youth. I tasted his LONG before he did (lol) and it was nice. Very light citrus, heavy on the mezcal. Since he had barely touched his drink I got myself a Dirty Blonde. It was definitely heavier in alcohol than the Telenovela, but still very refreshing and citrus forward. It was pretty busy but the staff was friendly and pretty attentive. We did have to wait some time to get refills on water and new drinks but we were relaxing and enjoying some good cocktails before heading to Crystal Ballroom. We both used the restroom before leaving and it's very clean. I would definitely come back again and try another cocktail!

    Charming wine bar on NW Raleigh right off NW 23rd. The stone exterior is adorned with greenery and…read morepurple party lights with lots of bistro tables and chairs for nice weather. Inside is dark and cozy, perfect for a rainy afternoon or evening. My only complaint is there is a lot of wood and all the hard surfaces don't reflect noise so it's sometimes challenging to hear. They have a wonderful assortment of wines and not all local. For me, that's a good thing. Yes I love a Willamette Valley Pinot or a Washington Cabernet, but I get a lot of those when I'm visiting these areas, which I do frequently. At Muse you can enjoy a red from France, Spain, Italy, as well as local. Lots of whites and some bubbles, too. You can do a tasting of three half glass pours of your choice, or order a glass. Some nights they have tastings that they have preselected. Last night, based on Alex's recommendation, after telling him my preferences, I had the 2021 Crozes-Hermitage from Paris. It was a bigger red, but so smooth. Next I went with the Rioja Gran Reserva which was more fruit forward. Another winner. Their cheese and jam plates are fabulous, the cheese especially delicious, and pair perfectly with the wines. Have a feeling I'll be back frequently to this charming neighborhood wine since my friend works out next door, so it's a perfect meeting spot.

It's a small spot with dim lighting and huge windows, for those of us who like to watch the world pass over a bold red. If you're looking for a place to go to feel slightly mysterious and you'd like to be the most interesting person in the world for an hour or so, this is the place to go! Amazing recommendations from the staff, as well. They know their wines! Just describe your favorite taste or feeling. No need to know wine lingo for them to know exactly what you want.
