    Editing to note that they responded - they did NOT offer any complimentary wine; however, they did replace the glass with a cricket in it. Beyond replacing the glass with a bug in it, we did not receive any monetary compensation or offering of comped wine/food. That’s simply untrue. Unfortunately, our experience here was pretty disappointing. We were seated near a group that appeared to be food influencers and received noticeably more attention throughout their visit, while our table often felt forgotten. We had to ask multiple times just to get water, and service overall was pretty inattentive. The biggest issue was finding a full dead cricket in one of the glasses in our wine flight. Obviously things happen, especially with outdoor seating, but we were surprised there wasn’t really an apology or much acknowledgment of it, and nothing was adjusted on our bill. The food also didn’t do much to make up for the experience. I had a salad and my friend had the fish, and we both found our meals pretty underwhelming and less exciting than we expected. The space itself is cute and we were excited to try it, so I wish we’d had a better experience. I don’t expect over-the-top service, but between feeling consistently overlooked, having to repeatedly ask for basics like water, and finding a dead cricket in our wine without much concern from the staff, it was hard not to leave disappointed.

    Ordered the natural wine flight and it was amazing — such a fun way to try a few different wines. The food was great too! We had the deviled eggs and heirloom tomatoes, and both were delicious. Daniel was a great host to us with excellent recommendations. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

    Great little wine bar with everything you need. Quality tapas, the chefs know what they are doing back there. Highly recommend the heirloom tomato spread. Good variety of wine options as well. If you havent tried a "natural" wine check out the sparkling rosé or if you like a chilled red Chat Noir and Blood Moon are great as well. There is even a small parking lot shared amongst the other local spots. Highly recommend!

    I miss the old location in Little Italy but we're excited to see the changes they bring to this new area.
