There are so many places in Seattle where you can get a good glass of wine from friendly staff. This is not one of them. Spend your dollars elsewhere, friends. The hostess and our server both had attitudes and were rude through several points of the evening. We should have walked after our first interaction with the hostess, but we decided to stay for a drink. Overall, It just wasn't a pleasant experience here and we won't be back.

I've been here three times and enjoyed each visit. The location is a cute house in Madrona with a covered outdoor seating area. The wines offerings are unique and include a large selection of natural wines. The food is tasty and shareable--the charcuterie board, the pickled egg, the baguette with honey and the mac and cheese are dishes I've tried on previous visits and they have been consistently delicious. Our most recent visit was today during their Oysters and Bubbles pop up event. I had reserved two spots for my son and husband and they were able to accommodate adding myself and my son's girlfriend to the reservation for wine tasting only (5 pours) since aren't oyster fans and our plan was to order additional food off of the regular menu. Initially we thought our third visit was going to be a disaster and were considering leaving because we ordered several orders of food in addition to the oysters but it took a really long time for them to bring any of the food out (other than the oysters). We had been seated for an hour before any of the other food came out and then when it did come out it was a small order of white bean toast without the rest of the order. However, they ended up making up for the slow service and gave us two free pours of wine, an extra (delicious) food item (roasted yam with shallots and chrysanthemum greens) and ultimately removed the charges for all of the food we ordered outside of the oyster reservation. Our waitress and an additional staff member (the manager perhaps?) apologized and thanked us for the patience in addition to offering us the food for free. This was all done without us making any complaint! It was clear that everyone was hustling and very busy during this pop up event and our order got lost in the shuffle initially. Instead of making excuses, they took responsibility for the delay and made up for it with the lovely customer service move of free food. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and will be back. Thank you!

Came here yesterday for happy hour with a girlfriend. They have a delicious frozé that is part of the happy hour deal and exactly what we wanted on the beautiful sunny day. There were plenty of seats available indoors at the prime HH of 5pm. If you opted for outside, they had high tops and a communal table where ladies were celebrating a birthday. The service was great, attentive but still gave us time to catch up. We didn't order food but I smelt the Mac & cheese from across the room!

Great quality wine and speciality cocktails. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the wine and shared their wisdom with us while we tried some wine flights. Hard to get into with long wait times and limited seatings (no AC) but the outdoor seating is very pretty and comfortable. The small shareable items are good for even a large group. Tried the burrata with extra bread, mac and cheese and Aperol Spritz!

One of the cutest outdoor patio areas! Staff was so helpful with walking us through wine options - we loved the Gruner, Gamay, and Synergy with the $2 off happy hour prices. The Mac and cheese was so rich and creamy (though could've had a larger portion) with the truffle oil not being overpowering at all.

Went on business. Nestled in the neighborhood, this house-based venue has lots of ambience for indoor and outdoor seating. Order the charcuterie and the cheeseboard. Tried my first red from Lebanon and loved it. They have delicious dessert truffles and there's no reason not to try each of the flavors. Their pickled eggs turned out to be a wonderful surprise. See photo below. Easy place to take a guest and impress. Service was good. Free street parking but it's sometimes difficult to find in the evenings.

This was one the cutest most quaint places I've ever been to and it fit my vibe perfectly. I'm from CA but was visiting WA so me and my boyfriend decided to give it a shot and I'm SO glad we did. It's an old house that has been converted into a wine bar and they sell natural wine primarily. They also sell small plates of food. We ended up going with the Mac and Cheese and baguette with honey and they were both so delicious. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and checked on us often. If you're in the area I would highly recommend this place. Even if you don't like wine, you should stop for tapas and good vibes.

I love coming here for a drink and small bites. The drink and wine selection are great. I always go for the frozen special on the menu which always taste delicious. The best time to go is right when they open if you don't want to wait long or if you do not mind waiting, go in the evening on a nice day when you can sit out on the patio. Either way, I love being able to eat outside. The food menu isn't large and there is a variety of either small bites or entrees. If you get an entree the portion is a good size that you won't over eat. If you get a shareable item they are a tad small and you likely need more than one to be considered full. Overall a nice wine bar with an aesthetic you would find in wine country.
