    A few friends and I stopped in to talk to the owner about having a show there... and stayed for lunch. The owner is a dynamite lady with great ideas and execution. She just opened a couple of months ago and I am hoping the place catches on. There is so much to see/do/taste: First lunch - I had a glass of wine and a spicy italian sandwich freshly made on fresh bread from Hewn. It was so tasty and spicy... and did I say FRESH?!?! I wrapped up half of it to bring home to share with hubby. It was just as good the next day. Hubby raved as much as I did. My wine was an Oregon Pinot Nior. It held up to the spicy sandwich. Doesn't get any better! There are things to buy - I bout a bottle of gin made in Kansas. I haven't opened it yet, but the bottle was just so cool. There are other gourmet food items to buy. There are purses, jewelry, and more in the back room. All very unusual and worth a look. Games to play - The back room has a great fireplace and a TV (for movies) and GAMES! Bring your friends, get some wine and snacks, and spend a nice afternoon here! Events - The owner says she does events, such as "book club", and movie night. Sounds fun! Art on the walls - Well, I'm hoping to show here... but the curator seems fantastic. It would be an honor. I hear she teaches at the Art Institute. I'm not surprised. She did a great job on the current show we saw! So as the weather gets a bit colder, this seems like a great place to be!

    give me COFFEE to change the things I can, and WINE to accept the things I can't

Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

    What a great meal! This was the first time that our family…read moreenjoyed Georgian food, and we really loved it. We found this restaurant through the yelp reviews, and, as usual, the yelp wisdom of crowds was correct. The meal was absolutely delicious. Sorry, I can't remember the Georgian names of the dishes but the eggplant rolls filled with walnut paste, the bread with melted cheese and egg yolk and the lamb and potato stew were all great choices. The food tasted home-made, as if a grandmother had cooked for us with love in every bite. Lots of garlic - we love that. Washed down with a glass or dry red Georgian wine, a perfect pairing. We were fully satisfied with our main dishes so were not able to try dessert. Next time. The atmosphere was nice - tablecloths on the table, friendly service, not noisy. We will definitely come back next time we are in the Evanston area.

    This is a great spot for a special occasion. If you're a fan of Georgian food, you really should…read morecheck this place out. The ajaruli khachapuri is truly excellent. We didn't love the pkhlovana version as much, but it was still very good (just a lot of onion flavor when we ordered). While super basic, their fried potatoes are insanely good. I'd also recommend any stew on the menu. They have a great selection of Georgian wines as well, which I highly recommend. For those who don't drink alcohol, they offer a wide variety of compotes as well. The decor/ambiance is very Eastern European. There is a coat check at the entrance which is very handy. Service is very friendly, but they have seemed understaffed the times we've gone. It did take some time to get the waitress' attention, but it also seemed that she was the only one taking orders from several tables. Definitely a slower service, but it's good for large groups to talk over a great meal.

And the thing about us going there, was to support and for the experience but now, I felt ignored and honestly there are plenty other places I would have rather went but to be a small business, you should acknowledge ALL your customers! I won't return here because I thought he was a genuine person but what I feel now is that he does not treat ALL customers the same and I want no parts of that. Nice cute place, but for me... I like experiences.... not obviously feeling ignored.... but the server, savanna was great and she is black, so not saying he racist but maybe he just prioritize certain people
