✨ Vibe
Trendy and hyped wine bar and eatery that's generating buzz with its natural wine selection and unique, if sometimes controversial, approach to service and dining.
🍸 Best For
Wine enthusiasts, adventurous diners, small plates, natural wine, post-work drinks, a taste of Little Serow nostalgia.
🔥 Highlights
- Extensive and interesting natural wine list, curated by knowledgeable staff.
- Creative Italian-inspired dishes with standouts like the ramp pasta and gnocchi (when available).
- A unique dining experience that evokes the spirit of Little Serow, with a focus on sharing and standing-room service (though seating is very limited).
ℹ️ Need to Know
- Be prepared for a potentially cramped, standing-room-only experience with very limited seating. Arrive early and be ready to "hover" for a table.
- Note the house rules - pasta may only be eaten inside, and there may be a corkage fee for opening bottles purchased on-site.
