A pleasant, comfortable wine place and restaurant. The wine is excellent, and the food is very good. They have a few beers, but if you’re coming here, I’d recommend the wine. The outdoor seating is a good option if the weather is pleasant. I had the wine flight, which was reasonably priced with a nice selection of quality wines. The eggs Benedict were quite good, and the roast potatoes were excellent. A bit pricy but high quality.

Quirky spot, I loved the shrimp/avocado crostini. The Brussels Sprouts were delish!!

Did their wine tasting (4, 2 oz pours) and ordered a cheese board. The wines were tasty and the cheeseboard was perfect for 2 people. Sat on the quiet back patio and loved it. Will be back soon!

We came here for an early dinner and had a great time! They gave some great happy hour deals ($2 off wine by the glass, good small plates). Service was very helpful and friendly. The back patio is a little hidden gem that you wouldn’t know existed unless you went into the restaurant. We enjoyed a great wine tasting, along with some wonderful cheese and crostini. We then had shrimp tacos and the chicken pita, both very good. Finally we split the red wine brownie, which was flavorful and soft of the inside. Absolutely recommend coming in for a glass of vino and some plates right in old town.

Really great place in Old Town Alexandria. Seems to be undiscovered. In a charming old row house building, it has a nice bar area as you enter, lots of blonde wood.

Great restaurant in the heart of Old Town Alexandria on King Street. The bar area downstairs is great for wine tasting, while upstairs is perfect for fine dining.

This is a cute wine bar and restaurant. The food was delicious and the back patio is quiet and pretty. The wine selection was decent but we wish they would have had more wines that were actually from California and Sonoma. Service was fast and friendly early on Saturday evening. Ordered the salmon, carne asada tacos, beef stroganoff, and Asian lettuce wraps. All good reviews except we wouldn’t recommend the lettuce wraps as it was really just ground turkey and lettuce, and about 8 tiny pepper slices, so that could have used more. Overall it’s a great place. It would be nice if you could create your own wine flights as opposed to using the preselected options. We were big fans of the Gewurzterminer from the finger lakes though!

We had a good experience dining here in a small group, so we reached out to book the outdoor patio for a birthday dinner for a group of about 10 people.

Enjoyed a lively supper here on the outside patio. Our visit started with a preying mantis visitor so I knew the dining experience was going to be great. The shrimp tacos were delicious and while the wine flight wasn’t exchangeable, my companion is allergic to red wine… we throughly enjoyed ourselves. Our waiter was pleasant as was the rest of the staff. I would visit again.

Awful experience. Service was nonexistent. We waited over an hour for our food which they forgot to put into their system. When we asked where it was, we got it 15 minutes later and it was super salty and inedible. We didn’t want to send it back as we had been waiting for so long to get it in the first place as we watched people who came in after us get their food first. Our waitress didn’t pay attention or check in on us or our food until we asked. Left dirty dishes on our table the whole time. Also super expensive for food that’s not great. We won’t be back!
