  Wine flights, delicious award winning cocktails, and a yummy cheese and charcuterie platter? What more could I want?!
  
  My friend and I came for happy hour and were able to snag a table by the window. Perfect spot for people watching. The ambiance in here is modern and flirty and is ideal for date nights or a girl's night out.
  
  The happy hour menu is short and sweet, with the full food menu being served starting at 6pm. To drink, my friend and I each got the gin-gin donkey (gin, ginger beer, ginger wine, sage, lime, grapefruit, and hops bitters) and to eat we split the cheese platter, charcuterie platter, and the focaccia bread.
  
  I loved that the platters were served with warm toasted bread drizzled in olive oil. I can't remember what the cheese was, but it was delicious. I also loved the pecans and fig jam that was served on the side. I think our favourite was surprisingly the focaccia bread. It came served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar which added some extra flavour, but to be honest I quite enjoyed eating it plain. It was that good. It came out fresh and warm, easy to tear, and had the perfect "toasted" crunch while still being soft in the middle. I don't think I've ever described focaccia bread in this much detail before, but point is: get the damn focaccia bread.
  
  Wyeth took great care of us the whole time. He recommended the gin gin donkey cocktail and turns out he was right, it was so awesome that I ended up ordering a few of them. I think it may be my favourite cocktail I've ever had and I've drank a loooot of cocktails.
  
  I'll be back for more gin gin donkeys and focaccia bread!

  Very disappointed. We asked where we could sit and the bartender kind of rolled his eyes at us and said "wherever you want". At this point I wanted to turn around and walk out. The three others I was with wanted to stay so I sat down with them. After about 5 minutes I flagged the server/bartender down and asked him if we would be served. He said nothing and walked over to the table. We ordered. Two paper plane cocktails and two mezcal margaritas. The paper planes were good but the margaritas were simply laughable. They were 3 oz cocktails served neat. They tasted was ok and we were there to talk to each other so I ordered a second one. This time I asked for a bigger glass and on the rocks. It was much better. At this point our server had said almost nothing to us. When we asked for the bill we were absolutely shocked that the margaritas were $23 each. If you are going to up-sell you should consult the guest pal!
  I did not complain as I did not want to bring negativity to the group.
  Obviously I will never return.

  I liked this place because it has character, but I didn't love it.
  
  My sister had reserved a table for 6 to celebrate my bachelorette but when we arrived the servers had no idea about any reservations and said "you come and seat yourselves here." To our luck, there was an available table for us.
  
  It's an intimate space with limited seating and appeared to have a lot of people that were either on  a date or coworkers.
  
  Food was alright but too expensive for what you're given. Drinks were fun. We all had different wine flights. Who doesn't like flights?

  This "wine bar" should really be called a craft bar!  They make the best specialty craft drinks around and their own bitters and accompaniments. Since I was "drinking" I can't remember the names of them, but everything that I ordered was original. The food is pretty awesome too!

  I stopped by for a glass of wine after a stressful day and was pleasantly surprised by the lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and extensive selection of wines to choose from. I tasted a few wines and eventually chose a Spanish red blend which was absolutely delicious. My bartender and I had a great conversation and she ended up pouring me 2 more glasses of her favourite wines to try. All of them were great and matched my taste perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this cozy and modern wine bar for a date night with someone special or just with yourself!
