This place really is pretty great. It's so close to my apartment, so how do I keep forgetting it's there! We went last night for a friend's birthday celebration. The staff had reserved the whole back section for our group, setting up chairs, plates, and silverware because another friend was bringing a cake. This was above and beyond because as far as I know, we didn't ask for them to set it up like this for us. The staff was fantastic. They came back to check on us often, and they let us all run our own separate tabs. They had a berry martini special running all night, and I'm sad to say that I didn't even try one. Everyone who did was raving about the cocktails. I stuck to beer. Thy list was small, but I found a couple of good ones. We've also been in here for brunch and for the happy hour. Their pizzas are the best! I must remember to make my way here more often. It's close, the service has always been great, and the food is tasty! read more

DiWine - Morning After Pizza - Wine Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Give me a wine..Buss DiWine! Your romantic Date Night Destination. DiWine is an easy 5 Stars. I loved everything about this place. I haven't frequented many wine bars but this is your 1st stop for a romantic evening. Well equipped with a full bar, sheer curtained chic bungalows for semi-privacy, plush suede studded couches and gourmet eats to match. I read all the positive feedback from my fellow Yelpers and chose this as a runner up for my date night destination. My date has classy taste, so he opted for DiWine on a Sunday night. We entered and were advised to sit anywhere of our choosing. We opted for the last sheer valance bungalow left. The couch seating was comfortable and the candles and lighting made for a relaxing alluring ambiance. DON'T GET IT TWISTED by the romantic ambiance. They were definitely playing NAS when we stepped in. The music was very eclectic. Great variation of Marvin Gaye, Indie, Hip Hop etc. We ordered cocktails and I sampled the French cream. I wasn't pleased by the overbearing glass size or taste. The waitress offered me the Berry Martini. Filled with delicious berry puree and a generous amount of liquor. My date enjoyed his gimlet that was made strong. For Meals we ordered the Salmon dish with sautéed spinach, Crab Cakes and Florentine Brick Oven personal pizza. Everything was exquisite! The chef really loves his job. The attention to detail, the overall presentation was just...a masterpiece. Let's talk about these Crab Cakes- Stacked with crab. Seasoned to a T. Paired perfectly with a Greek style Cucumber salad that was ORGASMIC. I cleaned the plate. The brick oven pizza featured fresh prosciutto, spinach, ricotta, tomato sauce and quail eggs. This pizza was heavenly. The fresh ingredients just heavenly. The prices here are worth it and affordable. I couldn't stop complimenting the service, decor and food. My date kept asking if I wanted to start drafting my Yelp review. We had a wonderful evening well spent. I loved everything about this venue. I will be back like Arnold S. read more

Holy Jesus is this place sexy! I have been here twice, first time was Dec '10 and then yesterday and I think both occasions were amazing. It's a wine bar where every bottle is $32 bucks, it's a cheese place where they get all their cheeses from Murray's Cheese shop in the city, it's a great date spot or a great spot to catch up with friends but overall, it's a just cozy, intimate place with really good food. The layout is very dark in a cave kinda way, I really like the little booths on the right with the plush sofas and the curtains. Then the bar area looks very dimly lit but super inviting, I would easily go to the bar area to have dinner. Unfortunately, since it was so dark, I didn't bother taking pics =( P.S. There is another ladies bathroom with the entrance being to the left of the bar. The food: Global Cheese- Accompanied by red grapes, fig cabernet compote, country toast, sliced apple, and strawberry. The cheeses we picked were the Prairie Breeze, Leonora, Pecorino Oro Antico and the Landaff. I thought all the cheeses were great. The toast was crunchy but not too crunchy, it was a nice vehicle to eat the cheese, the grapes and Granny Smith paired well but the fig cabernet reduction was so amazingly good. I really liked the reduction a lot. -Prairie Breeze, Amish made Alpine Cheddar from Iowa made from cow's milk cheese that had a nutty taste and a nice crumbly texture. This was easily my favorite, I have had it twice and it was my fav both trips. -Leonora, goat's milk cheese from Spain that kinda surprised me how much I liked it, it definitely had a funk but in a good kinda way. This was my second fav. -Pecorino Oro Antico, it was expectedly good, it's a sheep's milk cheese from Italy similar to Manchego. -Landaff, which is a Tommes cow's milk cheese from New Hampshire, I thought the flavor of this was nice but a tad mild. -Port Salute, semi soft from Rhone France made from cow's milk cheese. I thought this was just OK, it was a safe cheese. Not really exciting nor boring, just in the middle. Crispy Salmon- Garlic spinach, roasted plum tomatoes, roasted shallots, fingerling potatoes. OMG the crispy skin! It was glorious! The skin was so crunchy and the salmon had such a nice pink, raw center, I really liked the salmon. The spinach was cooked well as was the shallots and the potatoes, but for me, the tomatoes were kinda off. They weren't as sweet as I was expecting and I wish it was cooked a tad more. Bacon Wrapped Shrimp- with Pineapple salsa. This was a good dish and the shrimp was excellent but overall a good dish but nothing to knock your socks off. Filet Mignon- Fingerling potato hash, asparagus, natural jus. The steak had such an awesome outer crust on the beef, it had a nice beef char. The flavor was nice, it had a good pepper hit but was a tad salty. The potatoes were OK, they were tender but not really exciting and they gave a ton. The natural jus reminded me of the flavor of Salisbury Steak and the asparagus was very tender and had a good butter flavor, but was a bit too cooked. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=j_HVBvNdnvSQ6nvVIgEaGA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Diver Scallop(small)- Corn, lima bean, bacon, bell pepper succotash & truffle vinaigrette. The scallop was cooked perfectly and the flavor on this was good but it was kinda safe and standard. I thought the dish lacked acidity and was a tad salty. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=3nSmyCl-DPwCLe8Rua0FMw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Blue Crab Bianca- Ricotta, artichoke, blue Maine crab, asparagus cream. This pizza sounded so out of the box that my friend and I had to try it. The pizza itself was made really well, the bottom and the crust were so light, airy, crunchy with a nice a chew. The ricotta was probably the best part, it added such a wonderful creamy texture to the pie. But the toppings on the pie was just OK. I thought the crab meat was a little underwhelming, the asparagus cream wasn't really noticeable and the artichoke was just artichoke. When I go back, I want to try a different pie since the pies are made really well. Cheesecake in a Jar- with Graham cracker crumbles. I thought this was pretty good but the fruit layer on top was a tad too sweet and overwhelming. The cheesecake itself didn't have that cheesecake tang, it kinda just felt like I was eating a thickened dense whipped cream. It was good, but I couldn't eat too much of it even though it is recommended for two but the two small jars weren't even that big. Heirloom Burrata- Heirloom tomato, palm hearts, watermelon sakura mix cress, chiptole- honey. I was kinda surprised that I wasn't crazy in love with this dish. The burrata, which is like a milkier mozz, lacked a creamy unctuousness. The tomatoes were pretty good but the watermelon balls, while fun to eat, didn't really add much. I was kinda surprised when I ate just the tomato and cheese, it didn't do it for me. read more

I came here for Valentine's Day best choice ever. My boyfriend and I were quickly seated and attended. The food was amazing and was the perfect serving size. I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection and was equally "juicy." The atmosphere was romantic and very comforting. I definetly need to go again! read more

We came in for a light bite so we stuck to t the appetizers: mac and cheese truffle and meatballs. Both were delicious. The chef really knows how to make the ingredients pop without making any one of them overpower the other. The meatballs came with crunchy buttered bread that was warm. Three meat balls with tomato sauce, onions and red peppers possibly roasted. It was the best combination I have had with meatballs. It was sweet, tangy with very little saltiness but the tomato flavor wasn't powerful. I really enjoyed it. The mac and cheese was good too, creamy and cheesy with pieces of mushroom that have been sliced very thinly. The staff was friendly but they didn't come around enough, a plus and a negative. The tap water tasted a bit strange, better to order bottles. Everything else was on point. The place is decorated nicely and is very romantic. Will definitely come back here soon. Just a quick tip: next door is a car wash, they do a great job. Leave your car while you dine. Clean car and you won't have to worry about parking. Mera's Tip: Have a meatball. read more

Food was not good at all. Got a brick oven pizza, no flavor and not cooked enough. Was a white pizza, white even underneath! Doesn't look like brick oven to me.. My husband's burger was rare he asked for medium, bun was soggy from blood also no flavor. Service was poor, never checked on us and took almost 30 minutes to track down for check then she finally noticed we didnt eat our food and didn't want it to go and finally asked if everything was ok. Many good places in Astoria! Go elsewhere! read more

Astoria is one of those neighborhoods that intrigues me, but I never venture here due to limited subway accessibility and parking. I came here on a Sunday for brunch with a very large group of 15. From the start, the waitstaff were very accommodating and helpful! It was very much appreciated! The brunch menu has a good selection of egg dishes and breakfast pizzas for a fixed price of $15, which comes with a coffee and a drink (Bloody Mary, bellini, mimosa, orange juice). For an extra $17 plus automatic 20% gratuity, you can choose to get their bottomless brunch, which includes all of the aforementioned drinks and others like screwdrivers. All the drinks are watered down and just okay. I had the breakfast lox pizza, which was also just okay. I wanted to try something new, and was underwhelmed, despite being a huge lox fan! I tried the other pizzas off of others' plates, which were much better. My favorite was the Morning After, with arugula and prosciutto (and I don't normally like arugula!) As tends to happen with large groups, we hung around long after we finished our meal. At no point did we feel pressured to leave. 5 stars for service, 3 for food and drink. read more

This place gets 4 stars just off the wine and cheese plates alone. First, they have ton of wines you can buy for only $36 an entire bottle or $10 a glass. If you are a fan of Moscato's, the one they have here is really delicious. Nice selection too Cheese plate - 5/5 The cheese plate might be the best I've had. They have a big selection of cheeses right from Murray's famous cheese shop, and is served with a bunch of toasted bread, apples, strawberries, grapes, and fig jam. Each plate comes on a slate board with the name of each cheese written on it - really great idea. The price is awesome and you can order up to FIVE cheeses for $19. If they served it with meats, it would have been perfect. Regarding the cheeses, we loved them ALL. I'm not a cheese connoisseur and usually hate soft stinky cheeses, but our selection was GREAT. The soft Leonora and Epoisess were our favorites, but the double cream brie , Prairie breeze, and Gouda were also great. If you have zero idea what to get, any of these are definite crowd pleasers. Steak Skewers 4/5 - perfectly cooked, juicy, and really delicious. The 2nd best thing we tried. The chimichurri sauce it comes with is REALLY salty, so just be aware if you hate salt. Calamari - 3/5 - the calamari was flavorful and i loved the peppers and capers, BUT, it does not come with ANY dipping sauce which is a MAJOR no no. It's a VERY dry dish which completely ruins it. Not sure what they were thinking. Blue Crab Bianca Pizza 2.5/5- perfectly baked 12 inch pie, but ended up being a plain white pizza with lots of ricotta and barely anything that resembles crab on it. I'd skip this and try a non seafood pizza, the meat ones looked awesome. Overall, great date night spot. Very romantic ambiance with tiny tables and candles on each. If you get cold easily do not get a table by the door during winter. Even with food falling short in a few cases, this is still a solid 4 stars. read more

Pumpkin old fashioned check. $16 gone check. I read about DiWine's pumpkin old fashioned in Time Out New York and had to have one. I called the restaurant to make sure they were still making them before coming in on a Friday night. When I sat down at the bar I decided to ask the bartender if they still had the pumpkin old fashioned. This was a mistake because he said they were no longer making them, and I had to explain that when I called earlier someone said they were. (Un)fortunately, there was a second bartender, who said he could make one. I had no idea how laborious of a process it was as I watched him pump a pumpkin mixture, whiskey and bitters from a contraption into a rocks glass. During this process he set the whiskey on fire. As a result, the old fashioned had a very smoky flavor that just wasn't for a me. I took a few sips but couldn't finish the very expensive drink. The ambiance is nice in the bar, but service isn't all that. Not to worry though because I'm pretty sure they are no longer serving this drink! read more

I've been to a whole lot of places for happy hour due to the amount that I visit NY. This has to be one of my favorite experiences yet. We were the only ones that were there at 5pm on a Monday. We found out that they do a whole day happy hour on weekdays as well! For HH they have a dedicated menu that is consistently changing. There were a few small plates to pick from and a plethora of drinks. I stuck to bourbon-based cocktails for the duration of my visit and they were delicious and the pour was generous. The bartender kept up a conversation with us the entire time we were there. She was very friendly and definitely improved my overall experience. We ordered the trio dip to munch on and it came out with hot pita bread. It was hummus, eggplant, and tsiziki. They were all absolutely delicious that we inhaled it. My friend that lives in Astoria swears on this place for brunch - so it is absolutely going to be one of my first stops the next time I visit. It left such a great impression on me! read more

I noticed this place for the first time today, and when I saw no one had reviewed it yet, I ran out to try it. I only got drinks, but my boyfriend and I had a pleasant experience. I got the espresso martini, which was tasty, and my boyfriend got the Pimms Cup, which, he says, is the best Pimms he's had since he was in South Africa four years ago. The wine list was very extensive - much more bottles than by the glass, but I guess that's common. I was kind of sad not to see Prosecco on the "by the glass" list. Our waitress was really nice. Service overall was quick. We got complimentary olives and cornichon, which, I assume, is given to all who go there. For a Saturday night, not all the tables were full. The ambiance was really neat. Customers can sit at more traditional tables, at the bar, at larger tables in the back, or in a more lounge-y space, with a curtain that divides you from the rest of the wine bar. There was a sign outside that said "Happy Hour: 5pm - 9pm." Although we were there at 8:30pm, we didn't seem to get that deal... but I was okay with that because the place is obviously new - opened in November, according to our waitress. I would definitely go here again. I think it's great for dates but also for groups. It's too bad that the front is inset from the street, making it harder to see. You should go check it out! read more

Overall: this has been a favorite brunch spot for over a year . Wonderful live music - light blues / folk combo in a modern and serine atmosphere. Food is great for brunch and weekday dinner alike. Service is usually pretty good( attentive, water filled on time, nice and respectful of space). Tip: On a brunch day, I would recommend coming around 11 as you'll have your pick of a great spot to see the live music performers that start around 12. Atmosphere: Vibes are cross between a bungalow on a beach/ cool and earthy. There is a skyline opening in the back which contrasts the dark accents of the bar. Food: Brunch menus is varied and offers options for any taste - pizza/ paninis ( veggie and chicken options) / class eggs/ steak. I really enjoyed the truffle eggs!!!! Anyway 1 drink is always included as part of the brunch package! Dinner: the truffle Mac and cheese is the best I've had!!!! Of all the times I've gone this was the one that stood out the most. Tuna tartar and steak skewers are also delicious and never disappoint. Service: very friendly and nice staff . At the end of the day , depends who you get , right? Love this place , love the atmosphere, obviously I'm a fan! read more

Classy wine bar worth a visit in Astoria... Don't let this skinny, limited seating venue fool you - Diwine is a pretty happening place. Tons of wine choices to be had, hence its namesake. European, Californian, and South American vintages abound at this quaint little imbibery. The staff and owner are very nice and the environment is chill and adult. It isn't stuffy wine snobbery but it isn't college riffraff either. A good middle ground for the quaffer of any vintage. Small alcoves with intimate seating exist across from the bar with semi-private fabric covering the area. Great if you want to have a conversation away from the bar and somewhat more quiet. read more

Absolutely lovely place. Pretty, tasty, great service. Quite impressed and happy. Highly recommended.

I came here for brunch for the first time yesterday with my brother. Its really nice inside. Small but quaint. There was live music. Not so loud and annoying that it was overpowering. I ordered the banana bread french toast with a side of poached eggs. The french toast was 5 stars! It was sooooo delicious. My poached eggs were way too runny for me. I like mine a little more cooked but I failed to mention that so it was no fault from the kitchen. My brother ordered the breakfast pizza. It was good, a bit salty, but good. We both had unlimited drinks which the waiter always made sure was being refilled. Overall, its a great brunch spot. I'd definitely return again. read more

Small restaurant with just a few tables and a bar. There is also booth seating switch curtains, which makes it romantic. Love the ambiance here. It's intimate and perfect for date night. It's surely a local gem. They have a wide variety of drinks ranging from wine to beer to cocktails! The dinner menu is American tapas style. We shared all of the dishes between the 4 of us! We started with Brussel sprouts salad, Truffled Mac & Cheese, & crab cakes. Everything was so delicious!! Then for entree, we ordered the Churrasco steak (perfectly cooked to medium rare,very tender, & flavorful!) We also ordered the crab pizza & lobster pizza. Both were really great but the lobster was my favorite! For dessert, we ordered the pumpkin panna cotta & creme brûlée. Both were an excellent pick. Would definitely come back again and try other dishes. Everything including service was great. Btw, they don't accept American Express and if you drive - there's only street parking. read more

Blown away by this place. New favorite for brunch. Upset that I didn't discover it sooner. Live music on Saturday's for brunch by the most talented people. Meals are AMAZING.

Certainly a place to take your family and friends to. read more

This past Sunday, we felt like ending our weekend with a tasty al fresco dinner. DiWine - highly rated and with outdoor seating - seemed to fit the bill. We actually ended up sitting inside, as the temperatures started to drop in the evening, but the doors were open, allowing a nice breeze to move through the restaurant. Although the restaurants and bars along 30th and Broadway were super busy this night, there was almost no one at DiWine when we arrived. Eventually, another group and some single patrons came in, but it felt a little dead. Since it's located past Steinway (away from the subway), I can see how the place wouldn't attract passersby. Maybe it's more of a brunch destination? We still enjoyed ourselves, though! All of the glasses of wine were priced at $10, which I liked, because I felt it freed me up to choose whatever I wanted without worrying about the price. I ended up having my first Uruguayan wine: a glass of Bodega Garzon Tannat Reserva 2015. I absolutely loved this peppery, bold wine. Get it! As for food, for our party of two, we had the burrata and the Smokey Swine pizza. The burrata (served with fresh tomatoes, watermelon chunks, and other things I don't remember) was excellent. The stracciatella was so creamy. Mmmm. The pizza (apple wood bacon, stilton blue, and roasted peppers) was good. The crust was thin and crispy. I loved the sweetness of the roasted peppers. However, the cheese and pizza sauce didn't really strike me as anything special. I enjoyed this, but I think it was a one time deal for me. I do have to say, it seems like these wine places - with their small plates and New American cuisine - are a dime a dozen in New York. So it's difficult for any to stand out in my mind. However, I did find DiWine to be above average in terms of the food, drink, and decor -- just maybe not in terms of the ambience. read more

So this review is based off of two visits. First, i went for brunch. The service and atmosphere are amazing. There was a person singing live and she sang great. The drinks were good. The food was okay. I was not too crazy about the food. The second time I went for dinner and oh boy was I amazed! As an appetizer, I had a cheese board with three different cheeses.The board came with delicious bread and grapes. I absolutely love it! My boyfriend had the Churrasco and it was delicious. It was super tasty. I had the truffle mac and cheese with mini steak skewers.The mac and cheese was so delicious and tasty.The skewers were exactly on point The seasoning was delicious! The service was also great! Can't wait to go back read more

Last night, several of my good friends went out to dinner in Astoria to a fantastic restaurant called DiWine to celebrate our friend's birthday. These pictures are only a few of the dishes we ordered because we ordered a lot and of course I thought of it later one. One of my friends likes Steak Tartare and she enjoyed it immensely. I, however, am obviously just not that daring. The Braised Short Ribs were AMAZING, like superb, some of the best I have ever had in my life, fall apart with the fork, so full of flavor and served with carrots and roasted potatoes. The Hanger Steak was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, served on top of bone marrow, and the mashed potatoes creamy and a perfect consistency with a demi glaze of dreams. The Pan Seared Scallops served on top of black quinoa was zesty and and a great combination, the scallops cooked with just the right sear but still soft and tender. It was the one entree that was a tad too salty for me, but that's just me. We will orders many appetizers : crab cakes, calamari, Moroccan meat balls, tuna tartar, mussels with chorizo, avocado toast (although that was supposed to be a beet salad), truffle Mac n cheese, a burger, and a margherita pizza. Let's also not forget the berry martinis, vodka mojitos, and two bottles of rosè...because who doesn't pop bottles on a Tuesday night?! The service was great and the food that is prepared from the small kitchen truly impressive. Five stars hands down. Happy birthday Dre!!!! read more

First review of 2017! I've been to DiWine once many years ago and had an OK experience. Yesterday's dinner was quite nice though. Upon entering, we were seated immediately at the table reserved for us even though our entire party was not there yet. I love restaurants that do this! Our party was 5 adults and 2 kids so we split a ton of appetizers. The notable ones were the crab cakes, truffle Mac and calamari. The crab cakes were a good size and delicate from the lack of fillers but no complaints there. The truffle mac was such an indulgence -- so much truffle flavor and stringy cheese. The calamari was also a hit. So many places rely on a dip for their bland calamari but not here. The breading was light and seasoned to perfection. For entrees, I had the diver scallops which were excellent. Seared just right atop a bed of the most delicious succotash. The whole dish tasted so light and was very satisfying. Desserts were ordered but I was too full at this point to partake. Our waitress was lovely and the prices are reasonable here for the type of atmosphere--dim, live jazz, secluded booths in the back. Total date or celebration spot. I would come back! read more

Loved the ambience of this place! They have these awesome booths for bigger groups which look divine (no pun intended). Got here on a Wednesday night, it was comfortably crowded and super romantic looking. Loved the vibe! I had the cucumber fauxito which I loved! Tasty and strong! For appetizers we got the truffle Mac & cheese which is some of the best I've ever had, and calamari which was simple but tasty! The sauce was so good! We ordered the crab pizza for our entree and it was alright. We didn't like the artichokes on it and it was kind of bland. I think if we went for a meat pizza or something more safe it would have been better because the pizza was cooked well and had a lot of potential. I would definitely want to come back to try another pizza and possibly get a cheese board! read more

My experience at Diwine was fantastic. I understand with the pandemic, most restaurants are understaffed. The restaurant looked big but didn't seem like they had enough server but I had an amazing time there. The two lovely servers I had were attentive and nice (one taller lady was very kind and the shorter one was very fast) The steak with chimichurri was amazing. I also loved the mussels. I also stopped by and sat at the bar on a different night and the bartender was great too. Very knowledgeable and fun. Great spot in the neighborhood. Highly recommended read more

DiWine is one of my favorite places to dine in Queens. Absolutely gorgeous decor as soon as you walk in. Your greeted at with smiles and a warm hello. Like most my favorite part of the restaurant to sit in is the draped booths or the high top tables in the back by the brick oven. Their cocktails are so delicious and unique. Their entire food menu divine! A list of savory, mouth-watering, absolutely delicious options you won't want to stop eating once you start. The customer service is top of the line. I've been going here for years and only bring my favorite people to discover this gem because when something this good exist you want to keep it to yourself. read more

Can't believe this is my first time at DiWine after living in Astoria for 3 years! The food and service were both great. The restaurant is really nice and a great spot for a date. What we ate: -cheese plate (picked 3) and came with toast, grapes, fig jam and apples. Delicious, how can you go wrong with cheese and wine? -arugula salad: was really tasty especially the avocado dressing. Really balanced flavors -fried Calamari: also really good, although I thought it was a bit odd they put cheese on it, it still worked -asparagus/ricotta/crab pizza: delicious and VERY rich. I was already full at this point so I only had 1 piece, but it was tasty Overall looking forward to coming back. They have a lot of items on the menu I want to try. DiWine may become a regular in my BF and my date night rotation read more

I had to think really long and really hard about how many stars I was going to give this restaurant. It wasn't easy deciding what I'm going to have to go with three stars because my experience just kept getting worse. When we arrived we were told that we would be seated in 15 to 20 minutes. We were seated about an hour later. it's took a while for our waiter to come to our table just for us to order drinks and appetizers. Since he took so long we ordered everything at once to get it out-of-the-way. He was the only waiter for majority of the restaurant which was pretty crazy to me. we order three appetizers, first was the baby arugula salad, then steaks skewers, and calamari. The steak skewers came about a half hour later when we were on our second glass of wine and was absolutely delicious. The steak was topped with chimichurri sauce that was absolutely mouthwatering. Our experience started to go south when our other two appetizers never showed up. Over an hour later we finally got our two appetizers that we didn't get before but it also came with our dinner entrées. It was a lot of food all at the same time and we just couldn't finish it. our waiter really wasn't they're asking us if everything is OK or if we need anything he was always at the other tables because he was the only waiter there to be honest. The food was super good but The service was lacking really hard-core. read more

Stepped in for brunch with two girlfriends and the food was phenomenal For $17 price fix, you get an entree plus a drink. I went with the Croque Madame ($1 extra for my fried egg) and this may have been the best ham I've ever tasted. The cheese paired very well with it. The salad that came with the meal was dressed lightly but perfectly. The potato cake was a bit too peppery though (the friend that brought us here said it wasn't as peppery last time she came). It tastes like a very well seasoned hash brown in a block-shaped form. Needless to say, the girls enjoyed their meals. I took a bite of the Brie Melt and it was delicious! Never would have thought the pear to go well with it. The live band was a nice touch to the decor too! read more

Second time at this intimate spot. We ordered 3 dishes + desert: 1. American burger ($18), served with potato cakes - burger was average, cakes were delicious 2. Truffle Mac n cheese ($12) - Very cheesy and tasty 3. Mini skewers ($15), served with toasted bread - bread didn't add anything to the dish, another side would have been better but Meat was tender 4. Coffee pana cotta for desert ($9) - zero taste/blah We had a few rounds of berry martinis: good and strong. ++ for happy hour til 8pm on a Thursday Might be back read more

Probably the best French toast I've had yet. The caramelized apples were deliciously sweet, and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Live music and cute decor read more
