Our lovely person, Kassey was so kind and sweet, almost as sweet as the prosecco we ordered. ;) The cheese plate is so mouth watering and the bread made my European husband, want more to go. Each cheese told a different story but also blended so well bite after bite. The cava wine was the perfect balance of sweet and dry. Next time, I will do the bubbles flight. I can't wait to spend more evenings here and people watch. The vibes are 15/10. I remember when it was 2 doors down and LOVE that this place is still thriving. Next on my list is also to get some merch. Walking to this paradise makes it also a gem. The wine selection is huge! You won't be disappointed! It's wine o'clock somewhere. (NOW) :)

We got there when opened after a day at the science museum (5 minute drive great date idea).

We sat in their outdoor patio with shades and a slight breeze perfect for a brunch date.

Had a pretty bizarre experience here. We came in at 7:45pm on a Saturday (3 of us) and were told we…read morecould sit but the kitchen had to shut down for 45 minutes. Ok no big deal I guess - it didn't look very busy, but these things happen. We were sat and our server took our drink order right away. The cocktails were very good - I tried the Living on a Pear which was very refreshing and the rest of our party had the 1858 which they liked a lot. Once we got our drinks no one came by for 30 minutes and I had to flag someone down to bring us some water. At 30 minutes we asked if chips and guac was an option while the kitchen was "temporarily not serving food" but the server said all the fryers were full with fries so no they can't do that. Ok... so we continued to wait. It was around the 45 minute mark we were able to order so they were true to their word. This is what we ordered: - Pork Belly Bacon Scoops - these were just ok. The fries were nothing to write home about and there wasn't a lot of toppings. The pork belly bits were very small and kind of hard and chewy. The sauce was decent, but just not enough of it. - Li'l Wig - I'm sad to say this was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. I requested medium rare and I don't know what the patty is made out of it, but it resembled more like meatloaf than a burger. It was very dense and had a strong gamey taste, reminded me more of bison or venison. Idk, it was just not very good. I only took a few bites and left the rest. The brioche bun was tasty and so was the W sauce. The fries were really good and had a nice crunch. I wish the appetizer used those fries instead. The service was inconsistent. We were barely checked on until the very end when we had a few different people come by and refill waters / bring the check. We never saw our original server again. It is a nice vibe inside, great lighting and decor with both indoor and outdoor seating, but I don't think I'll be returning. The bill was $133 for 3 drinks, 1 app, and 3 burgers. Felt pretty let down leaving still hungry and over $150 in the hole (after tip). Hoping it was just a fluke and other people have better experiences there.

We stopped in recently on a Sunday evening and we were glad we did. They have an interesting wine and cocktail list and we took advantage of the 4.00 beer with entree.

Ambiance was light and breezy, with chill music playing overhead that wasn't too loud. I'll come back here for a happy hour with friends or to celebrate an occasion without hesitation!

The entire evening is orchestrated by a single, extraordinary human. He is the greeter, the host, the chef, and the busser, a true one-man culinary circus executed with absolute grace. As for the food? Tasting menus can sometimes leave you eyeing a drive-thru on the way home, but absolutely not here. Every single course on the $90 menu was wonderfully tasty and incredibly generous; nobody is leaving hungry. The English Pea Agnolotti was a bright, beautiful start, and the Shortrib Parmentier was rich, comforting perfection. We also opted for the $50 wine pairings, which were thoughtful, well-paced, and complemented the evolution of the dishes beautifully (the Chablis with the roasted beets was a standout match). If you can somehow manage to snag a final reservation before they say goodbye, do it. It's a beautifully unique dining experience you won't soon forget.

When the whole place is a one-man show, that's a bit strange and not the way to run a restaurant,…read moreeven if it's really small. The chef needs to focus on his craft rather than also serving and clearing dishes. When you pay $90/person and get wine pairing or bottle you expect a certain level of service and execution. The food didn't impress either, and they never asked for any restrictions ahead of time to be able to easily accommodate, since the menu is so limited. The first course was a pasta with pea dressing and carrot sauce. It was bland, didn't come together, the pasta was tough, and the carrot sauce was unfinished and not sauce consistency. It just felt immature. The second dish had a lot of acid and didn't shine either. It felt like a compilation of ingredients but not anything I would come back for. The duck was the star, it was crispy, the sides all worked together, it was well executed. He did make us a dessert that didn't have cream in it, which was nice. This was a missed concept and experience for me. There needs to be someone doing front of the house, especially with more people. The food needs to be better thought out and executed for the price.

You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it.

We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

First time here, service was great and attentive. Ambiance can be intimate or family style outing…read more The foods are meant to be shared so thats a nice communal aspect. Cons for this paragraph is the wait for the food is ridiculous. Why 45 min at least for any dishes. If you're ordering multiple. They're not coming out all at once. The appetizer orecchiette we got was tasty in regard to the texture. Nicely al dente. But it was extremely salted and extremely sour. Unsure of what flavor profile they want to have. Our server recommended the roasted chicken to be the most seasoned dish. I'm not sure whatever they marinated actually puncture the meat. It was cook well but virtually no flavor. Not any difference if you just boil chicken breast by itself. Everything was really pricey for no reason. Sure it was a good size? But if you compare it to restaurants located in downtown, a similar dish is at least 8-10$ cheaper. $14 for a basket of shoes string fries, $41 for roasted chicken and $43 for steak? On par with coors field at least. My assumption is that any new coming restaurants at the Stanley market is just a test run with a safety net to see if the restaurant actually performs well if it was a stand alone business.

And the bruschetta are always sooo good, as well as the vast majority of the wine options! I can't say I've ever been disappointed. The staff is always very helpful and knowledgeable if you can describe to them what kind of wine you want and like. As for the bruschetta, like I mentioned, they are all good, even the ones that aren't my personal preferances they stiill aren't bad, but my absolute favorite is the artichoke. I usually get two of them because it is so creamy and delicious. I also like the salami a lot, probably my second, and the lox/salmon is good, too. PS, you can also recork your bottle if you aren't a pro wine drinker for the board & bottle special. It's truly a no-brainer for the price to go ahead and get that bottle and 4 slices for a mere $25. I've tried a few other things here, as well, I can't say anything bad! And the place is often packed so that says a lot.

My friend also ordered the salad with the candied walnuts, and when it came out, it had barely any toppings. She almost was too shy to say something, but I spoke up for her and the kitchen remade her salad with no issue, luckily, it was much better the second time around Our server was super sweet and attentive. I don't think we got a name though. Thank you for a nice time!

They also had their AC blasting which helped cool us off from the heat outside. Our server was great and quickly took our order and received waters. Our appetizer came out pretty quickly and I do want to call out that the guac looked like it was sitting out for some time. Once our 3rd person arrived, we ordered our food and drinks. Drinks came out pretty quickly. The elderflower prickly pear drink was stellar and pretty strong! I would definitely come back just for that drink! Food tasted great! Tacos were seasoned well. I do wish they had spicier salsa options but that's just my preference. I also think the tacos should be doubled up with tortillas because they started falling apart and made it difficult to eat. I ended up just eating the inside of the tacos and left the tortilla. Overall though, nothing bad that would deter me from visiting again. It was a good experience! I would definitely return.

CAUTION: manager punishes customers for complaining about an ill-conceived, poorly executed seating…read morepolicy. I was a first-timer with five other fun, chill ladies 50+ on Cinco de Mayo. Three of us had driven from significant distances. Two were late, due to crazy snow. Our friend had made reservations for the high-top table IN THE BAR AREA. Upon arrival, the hostess DID mention to our organizer that the table was ours until 6. That sounded odd, but certainly they wouldn't expect us to leave if we're still eating and drinking, right? We were having a great time, and being gracious despite a few issues, like my friend getting a strangely colored margarita that tasted bad -- unlike her first, or any of the others in the entire restaurant. She explained and asked for it to be remade. Another girl brings it back again, making her re-explain. She begrudgingly took it back and replaced it. At 5:40, as people started bugging out, our snow-delayed friend arrived and our waitress took her food order, along with another friend's order for a pitcher of beer. They arrived quickly. At 5:50, we got a visit from manager Alex, asking us to wrap things up and leave. We were confused, and asked why this was necessary, since we were in the BAR section, had just been served food and beer, and people were leaving. Alex was not amenable to applying practicality to the situation. My friend who'd just been served her pitcher of beer asked which option she was supposed to exercise...pay for and leave her full pitcher, or slam it and then drive home to Boulder. Alex didn't like that, and reluctantly offered to comp the quesadilla and beer -- like it was some grand gesture. As we gathered our things, more customers left, leaving four seats open around the actual bar. EUREKA! We didn't have to leave! My friend and I sat in two, and two others sat across from us. We knew we'd find one more, and we did. Cool, right? Nope. Alex confronts me and says, I noticed you guys moved to the bar. (I thought I was being punked.) So I reply, "Yes, is there a problem with us taking available seats after having to leave our table?" He says something about us being rude. To which I said, "I'm not being rude. If you're referring to us talking amongst each other about how this situation was handled, we have the right to speak." He then informed us he was cutting us off. I wasn't one of the ones comped, and we weren't drunk. He just didn't like that we pushed back. He left, and seconds later, the drink I'd ordered before this "chat" was placed in front of me. When Alex saw it, he pulled bartender Hunter aside and had words with him. Which made matters worse, because Hunter is so kind, and he knew we were cool. Anyway, I happily sipped my drink, and we started watching the Avs. We weren't obnoxious, but it was loud, and since we were seated across the bar from each other, we needed to shout a bit. Around this time, we noticed the table we'd been forced to vacate was STILL EMPTY -- 20 minutes after being booted from it. The table right next to it? Also empty. A few minutes later, we noticed he'd moved some girls who'd been at the bar since our arrival TO OUR TABLE. Obviously to make it look like the party that wanted it had shown up. So I took a pic of that with my phone. And a video of how many seats and tables were open. Nobody knew what I was doing, or cared, except Alex, who'd been spying on us. He comes back AGAIN, suddenly claiming our "BEHAVIOR" is a problem. Despite us trying to reason with him about what this experience was like for us as customers, he tells us to leave. I have been kicked out of two bars in my life. Once justifiably at age 22, and again on this day, age 60. All because of a manager on a power trip. We ended up going to Mezcal four miles away where the food and the service were exemplary, and we were welcomed! Lady Nomada? Lady, No-thank-you. You can't defend a policy like that, take a food and drink order right before the time limit, take our table and then harass us for not liking it. There are too many cantinas out there to treat people this way.
