I live a few blocks away and will stop in with my dog on occasion and the owner always kindly greats us and asks me how my day is going.

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night with three friends and we had a wonderful time. It's…read moreintimate and cozy inside and I loved the decor and vibe of the place. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgable about the wine. I loved that we had a mini tasting when he told us about the open bottles. We all ended up picking a different glass! For our meal, we shared the following: - Bread service -- honestly, SO delicious - Tartare -- very unique flavors, kind of like a tabouleh - Cabbage Ceasar salad -- an interesting take on a classic salad, very fresh and crunchy - Aleppo egg -- a take on Turkish eggs, it wasn't super great to share but was very good - The cacio de pepe pasta -- the most underwhelming dish of the night, not bad but nothing special - The steak -- my friend who doesn't like cheese had this and shared a few bites and it was very tender and flavorful We opted out of dessert but the dark chocolate tahini truffles sounded like they would be so good!

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing due to the customer service. The initial server…read morewas very unfriendly, overly opinionated, and came across as bossy rather than welcoming. He seemed annoyed that I had my own preferences about which wines I wanted to try, which made the tasting feel uncomfortable instead of enjoyable. After that interaction, he essentially handed us off to another server and completely stopped checking on us. He never came back to ask if we wanted additional wine tastings, food, or anything else. We felt ignored for the rest of the visit. Wine tasting should feel inviting and relaxed, but the atmosphere here felt awkward and unwelcoming because of the service. I'm sharing this so others know that the hospitality aspect may not match expectations.

So much food came out that our plan at a midday snack became our dinner. Half of the grilled cheese made its way back home. I especially liked the Brie, whipped ricotta, and speck on the charcuterie board. The grilled cheese was perfectly balanced with the apple butter and mustard as well. We also got roasted red peppers as a surprise. Those and the olives were again, superb! We ate in the dead of winter, and left fully warmed by our meal. I can imagine the ambiance in the summer to be delightful when they open their outdoor patio! One thing to note if it's your first time. We sat ourselves and ordered at a register for our food. It was brought to us by friendly staff. Afterwards we bussed our glassware and left our plates.

The atmosphere is where this place really shines to me: cozy, chill, and super inviting. It's a great spot to unwind with friends in the evening to chat and catch up. They have a solid charcuterie selection and a nice variety of wines that I can truly appreciate. If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate spot to catch up with friends over a glass Jardin is absolutely worth checking out.

The pulled pork had no flavor at all until you added the hot sauce that was on the table. If you don't want hot sauce, you just get to eat plain white bread pulled pork.

Couldn't even taste the empanadillas because they had so much crema all over them...that should be on the side so we could actually taste the food . The steak was OK (not Cuban in any recognizable way) but the very smallest portion possible....for a "special" that we paid extra for, we expected it to be special in some way. And the platanos...THE PLATANOS...super over-fried and dry as a bone with no flavor, no salt, no nothing. We left a huge dish of them on the table. The key lime tart barely had any lime flavor. The flan was lumpy! The "tres leches" cake is just plain yellow sheet cake with simple marshmallow frosting.

I stumbled upon them one day while just hanging out on Lombardy and I've been a fan ever since. They are known for their Limoncello which can be used in an Lemon Drop or poured over gingerbread if that's your thing. They also have a few flavored vodkas, moonshine, whiskeys and gins. During my recent visit I tried the Yule Mule and it was delicious! I am a huge mule fan and this is the best one I had this holiday season. The mix of grapefruit, moonshine and ginger beer was very light and refreshing. The service is amazing. The owners and distillers are very friendly and knowledgeable. They don't mind sharing their "trials and errors" and no idea is too big or small when it comes to distilling. Outside of being a distillery, they also have wine, meat, cheese, smoked salmon and all things pasta that can be purchased onsite.
