    Unfortunately, they were down a chef the evening we were there so some menu items weren't available. That said, the menu is short but that makes life easier. We both had a pasta and rated it highly, al dente pasta was quite special. I was on Dry July and found the non-alcoholic cocktails amongst the best I have had during this most unusual time in my life (no-one believes I am almost over the finish line), will try the real ones next time....I t is advertised as a wine bar but doesn't have a large selection although my Chardonnay guzzling buddy was very happy with his one and only selection! Noise is high and it is small so make sure to book. I think it is a good place to start a night with some good food, decent drinks and then move uptown a little for some action - if that's your persuasion (or, like us, go home early - nothing good happens after 8.30pm in the Valley..)
