Cocktails are a rip off. Not every cocktail Is the same measure so don’t serve them as they are but in different glasses with breeze blocks of ice. Cocktails should be different measures. Food, service and surroundings on the other hand was amazing.

Wonderful experience! This is a lovely wine cellar below the Fallon & Byrne grocery. The atmosphere is cozy and yet vibrant. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Simon was of great assistance selecting the perfect wine to bring home. He’s wonderful. There is a wine list on the menu or you can select from their wide variety on the shelf for a corkage fee. The food was delicious. We had the peppers and focaccia for appetizers- really great. The bolognese was good but a bit undercooked ( and I like Al dente). The pizza was superb. Go, you’ll love it!
