I love the vibe and the owner is a true New Yorker. The tvs are not really a focus (I HATE TVS in wine bars and intimate restaurants) and it's cozy. Sometimes the music is a little off, but most of the time, I'm happy to be there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540741986563382319.post-11419915019805575812013-02-19T23:26:46.622-05:002013-02-19T23:26:46.622-05:00Anyone else here tried it yet?

And having an upscale wine bar will only bring property values up and attract a nice clientele. Austin Street is dull and boring.
