March 2026"The most charming wine bar I've been to in LA. The arched booths are so cozy and intimate — perfect for a date night. We had the orange wine and the charcuterie board. Both were incredible."

February 2026"A bit hidden in Highland Park but that's part of the charm. The ambience is low key and quite dark so it was a bit challenging reading the menu, but the staff was super helpful with recommendations."
