“Fantastic Food and Wine”

Tannat is a great addition to the neighborhood. I have stopped by 3 times and had food and wine each time. The menu has been different each time I've visited, and always exceptional. Creativity abounds in the conception of the menu. The wines are always fantastic as well. I especially enjoy that they offer half glasses in case you are in the mood to try something new. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. After your first glass of wine, I imagine you'll want to stay for a second.

Two stand out dishes were lamb liver with black been puree, and fish chowder which was great on our first cool day of the fall season.

If I lived closer, I'd be here more often. That being said, it's a great option for those visiting the Cloisters. Nice selection of interesting wines, cheeses, and small plates. Friendly staff. We were famished after viewing the amazing exhibit at the Cloisters and this really hit the spot. Take the trip down the hill and refresh here. Steps from the A train too. Good happy hour option as well.

This wine bar opened a few months ago, and since we really enjoy a good glass (or bottle) of wine, we went to check it out. They offer natural wine and genuinely seasonal dining, hence, their menu for both wine and food changes throughout the year, on monthly or even daily bases sometimes. I love that you can get something new every time you visit!

The inside is small, covered with wood from the floor, walls, and furniture, creating cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It has a nice big open door/window at the entrance, looking out to the beautiful greenery. They are across from Fort Tryon Park, and only a short walk from the MET Cloisters museum.

Most of the wines are available by the splash (half the glass), glass, or bottle. They have sparkling, White, Rosé, Red, and Orange. I love the idea of splash, this way, we get to try more wines without too much commitment. Since there were three of us, we each got to try two different kinds of wine, total of 6 splash of different wines. They were all very good, and the staff was very knowledgeable of the wines, so he gave really good recommendations as well.

When you are having good wines, you have to pair it with a good food companions. They offer farm-to-table, working with small Hudson Valley farms. We got Basil Duck Rillettes, Jacuterie Black Truffle Salami, Persian Cucumber, Smoked Trout Toast, and Wild Mushroom Pate. They were all good high quality, tasty and went great with the wines.

The atmosphere was very comfortable, relaxing, cozy and welcoming. They have great wine (and beer) selections from all over the world. It is a great place to try out new wines that you never had opportunity or even heard of. The staff have great knowledge of the wines, we learned a lot from him. He was nice and attentive, he took a good care of us. It was a very nice first visit, I am sure we will return for more in a near future!

This quaint little spot is an incredible place for some good wine and such unique and delicious tapa-type appetizers. I felt at home and will definitely be back every time I’m uptown!

They rotate their wine selections periodically, so something new will await you often. They, also, offer wine tasting classes.

I live down the street from this place, have walked by it many times, and finally found a moment to go in and have a glass of wine. I will definitely be back. Their wine menu is wonderfully varied - - I had an orange wine (something I'd never heard of before), which was fascinating and delicious. We got a cheese plate, served with a couple of slices of apple and fantastic nutty raisin bread.

Our server was one of the owners, Will. He was a charmer, clearly knew all about the wines, made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back.
