There is a small but well selected choice of wines on offer by the glass. The wine, at $12-$16 a glass is certainly not cheap so if you know what you like it is certainly worth buying a bottle to share. The wait staff were knowledgeable on all the wines and were very helpful in choosing wines to our taste and that helped complement the food we ordered.
Speaking of food - forget everything you have ever known about the humble grilled cheese. This is not your familiar greasy diner grilled cheese. Coming toasted on a soft sour dough, the three cheeses - two varieties of cheddar and a cream cheese offset and complement each other to create what I am happy to describe the perfect grilled cheese. Whilst nearly looking past this sandwich to other more exotic sounding fillings such as the Goose Breast Reuben* - I am happy that I didn't. I have written here before about how restaurants and bars should focus on doing the simple things well - and these guys nailed it for me with their grilled cheese.
* Kosher issues aside, it was certainly not so hard to turn down the Pig's Ass Sandwich.
