I adore this place and have had some great moments here. It's also located at the Water Street Market. I love what they have done with the decor and ambiance. It's a must see. Grab a beer from their exclusive selection or try one of their unique wines. Need a nosh, then order from their "Tapas" menu. For a small space it has a lot of heart.
