Flight 1551

really enjoyed this place.  Came back in January, and it OUT OF BUSINESS.

If only I had a chance to try it.  I called them to see if they took reservatons because I wanted to take a friend there for brunch for her birthday.  I called about 5pm and it rang and rang with no voicemail.  I tried a day later, got voicemail this time, and I left a detailed (but brief) message with my name, phone number, and asked if they take reservations.  No call back.  Called and left another message two days later.  Nothing.  I tried calling 2 other times at different times of day leaving a message each time and now stating that I have not received a return call.  Again...nothing.  I was not asking for anything difficult.  I just wanted to know if they were open for brunch that particular Sunday and if they took reservations.  If they can't be bothered enough to call me back and answer a simple question, I won't waste my time on them.

Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name...or at least they recognize you and ask about your dog, boyfriend, etc.  Flight 1551 is that place for me!   Their wines are incredible, and every server knows cool tidbits about the wine - and I'm not just talking "this will pair nicely with your meal".  These people know their wine - I feel like they all personally know the wine makers too with the info they give out.  The food is delicious and simple.  Yes the space is small and yes it gets crowded - all the signs of a successful restaurant!  Flight also has a neighborhood feel, so you won't get that group of tourists on their way to Benchmark sitting next to you.  If you have a chance to try the Green & Red label wine, do!
