DiWine

Super cool interior, good beer list, super mediocre pizza.

They have these semi private curtained off mini tables with couches, so if you are so inclined, you can snuggle up to your date.

The whole interior looks great, romantic lighting, old school wooden bar, etc.

The beer list is good, prices are $6 for a pint of a good microbrew.

The only thing is - the pizza wasn't good, and that's the main part of their menu. All of the pizzas sounded amazing (walnut ricotta honey, organic bacon, etc.). I really don't know how or why the pizza wasn't amazing, cause it's pretty hard to go wrong. But it just wasn't, which is such a shame. Also kinda pricey for a personal pizza ($18 bucks). So for drinks, salad, and pizza, our bill was over 80 bucks.

I would definitely go back for drinks and ambiance, but not for food, not worth it.

I just recently discovered this cute little gem while walking around the neighborhood with my friend. I've been to Winegasm a bunch of times, but this place is much better. It's definitely more trendy and comfortable, speakeasy type of vibe. I didn't eat here so I can't review the food, but I loved the Sauvignon blanc. The menu isn't strictly wine, so if wine isn't your thing, there are cocktails to choose from. I'll definitely be coming back.

I went here several months ago, and the experience made me so angry I couldn't write about it.  I thought that I might never eat at a restaurant again.  Or order a drink at a restaurant again.  The rage-fire seems to have settled down, so I'll tell you about it.

I am going to preface this rant by telling you that my friends and I are very polite people.  We have a great respect for the food service industry, and we are generally very patient and even-tempered.

We (party of 4) walked in, and it was somewhat busy, but not really.  We were ignored for about 5 minutes.  A quick acknowledgement that we were there would have been nice, but whatever, it's fine.  A young woman walks up to us and tells us that we can sit in the lounge now or we can wait 20 minutes for a table in the back.  Lounge is great, thank you.  We are seated.  And we wait. And we wait.  And wait.  The table next to us (seated after us) got water and menus and everything.  Then we eventually got ours.  Side note-- do they spell things wrong on the menu on purpose?  God, I hope so.  And then we wait.  And wait.  And NO ONE EVER COMES TO TAKE OUR ORDER.  We see that a table for 2 opened in the back, and my friend and her boyfriend were absurdly hungry-- so we split up.  We left our table so that my hungry friends could try for better service in back.  My partner and I went and sat at the bar.  We weren't all that hungry and thought we'd be ok with apps and drinks.  We were ignored-- really, strangely, blatantly ignored.  The bartender begrudgingly acknowledged us after some time, and we ordered two house cocktails.  At this point, two stellar cocktails still could have redeemed the place.  But NO.  I watched her make my drink, which was topped off with a LOT of flat club soda poured from a 2 liter bottle.   The "cocktail" was UNdrinkable.  It really takes a lot for me to say this.  She then went back to ignoring us, avoiding eye contact.  My partner watched me struggle with it for a second sip, and offers to say something to the bartender.  The bartender continues to avoid us, despite our eye contact.  When she finally can't avoid us anymore, we asked for the check.  We had each taken two sips of our drinks and decided to just cut our losses and leave.  The bartender said nothing, asked nothing, and clearly didn't care that we were unhappy.  My partner still tipped her.  I've never been so mad about spending $24.

In the end, it's really all fine.  Even on its best day, it's not my kind of place.  The crowd is made up of lots of ditzy girls and recent college grads who are actually TRYING to be pretentious and failing.  Loudly, might I add.  My hungry friends did eventually eat, and reported that the food was mediocre at best.
