Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the atmosphere and the friendly, helpful staff, describing a lovely wine bar with chilled vibes, great decor and a good mix of age groups. Catching up with friends and date nights come up repeatedly, and one notes the over 25s policy. Among specifics, one reviewer calls the arancini delicious, another had such a nice cocktail, and a couple seated nearby had pizza that looked delicious. One mentions it as a stop after the pizza shop across the street. The main complaint concerns booking. One reviewer says staff mishandled a booking, said reservations were phone only, then said they could not take bookings at all, and refused to hold a table for a friend recovering from knee surgery. Another could not get a drink because the place was packed and they had not booked, while a third says it can get busy but a table can be booked. One reviewer closes on a couple who stayed much longer than the quick drink they planned.

“Lovely wine bar with chilled vibes, great for catch up with friends or date nights etc. Friendly staff. Over 25's which is great. Can get busy but you can book a table. Reasonable prices.”

“Very unaccommodating staff! We went recently with friends and they messed up the booking and then told us they will only take bookings over the phone. I called them today to book a table for 4 and they said they can not take bookings, which is contradictory to what they had said before. Anyways I requested them to reserve a table as one my friends recently had a knee surgery and he couldn’t just wait in case no table was available. They outright refused, and said it’s best for my friend not to go, so unkind and unprofessional!! I used to go there and to the main restaurant often but now I will not.”
