A true gem of Bywater. You can do cheese and wine with music or a full dinner. Delicious.
Mark WJanuary 18, 2015But your wine by the bottle at less than half restaurant prices. Listen to music in the courtyard or nosh in the upstairs dining area. Relaxed fun.
Ruben FloresSeptember 27, 2015Amazing spot! People talk a lot about their cheese plates, but the food is also fantastic! The crispy pork shoulder was spectacular.
Paulette BleamMay 19, 2013Make sure to chat with Virg, the bouncer at the front door. He grew up next door, and has a genuine love for the area.
So simple, yet so brilliant. Grab your favorite cheeses and a bottle from the wine shop, walk to the courtyard, and reeeelaxxxx.
Glen BischoffSeptember 16, 2016Really awesome place. Live music, very reasonable food prices plus significantly cheaper wine prices compared to a resturant
Elizabeth LisowskiMay 30, 2018This is a must go. BYO (they have a wine store in the front) and snacks. Great place - always has live music.- DavidJune 9, 2017Hip wine bar outside of the touristy section of town. Go for happy hour and get a cheese plate and bacon wrapped dates.

Jesse McGeeAugust 8, 2014Super Cool Eclectic Restaurant in the Middle of Nowhere!!! :) Great Outdoor Patio and Super Yummy Drinks!!! Crazy Wine and Cheese Selection!!! :)
One of the best places to go for a great bottle of wine, bread, cheese, entrée, and dessert.....basically everything :) also very reasonably priced!
Stephanie MorenoFebruary 2, 2015I've had about half of their menu and every dish I had was delicious. Go with several friends so you can share plates.
Jen M-EMay 6, 2016Great outside backyard chill vibe, but with live music and better cheese than you have in your own fridge.
Caroline SindersMarch 24, 2013amazing, amazing, amazing. but it's often hard to find parking right next to it. be prepared to walk a few blocks in the neighborhood.- a bMarch 9, 2016Get the cheese plate. You build your own out of the fridge. They provide bread, fruit, jam, olives, etc
