This
place
right
near
the
Battery,
in
Truist
Park,
has
a
very
nice
atmosphere
-
it
feels
upscale
but
not
stuffy.
The
menu
featured
options
most
would
find
appealing,
and
I
think
most
people
would
be
able
to
find
something
here.
Most
dishes
featured
nice,
though
very
expected,
combinations
of
flavors
-
no
adventurous
fare
here.
You’ll
find
all
the
typical
“wine
pairing”
foods
-
fig
and
gorgonzola,
meatballs
and
hearty
marinara,
etc.
The
server
was
polite
and
helpful,
and
attentive
during
the
meal.
Once
we
paid
he
completely
forgot
us
and
didn’t
fill
our
water
glasses
again
(clear
“you’re
done
now
leave
please”
sign).
I
expect
this
in
most
American
eateries
because
at
certain
price
points
they
need
to
turn
the
tables
quickly
to
make
profit.
Unfortunately
this
place
is
quite
expensive
and
was
selling
a
different
(i.e.
“European”)
atmosphere
that
they
didn’t
quite
deliver.
Three
dishes
and
two
wine
flights
(these
are
3
samples
of
2
oz
pours,
and
run
about
$15
each)
was
$90.
The
dishes
were
tapas
size
(see
photo)
and
we
also
had
a
pizza
that
was
about
8-10”.
So
for
$50/person
on
a
weekday
evening,
I
would
expect
my
server
to
courteously
fill
my
water
glass
even
after
I
pay
because
I’m
certainly
not
paying
for
the
food
or
wine;
I’m
paying
for
the
table
time.
I’d
come
back
if
a
friend
or
colleague
wanted
to
meet
here,
but
I’m
unlikely
to
choose
this
place
again.
I
think
they
profit
from
location.
I
much
prefer
Vineyard
Wine
Market,
which
is
10
minutes
away
in
Smyrna.
It’s
got
a
more
laid-back,
less
formal
vibe
and
offers
a
more
intimate
setting,
and
whenever
I
go
they
fill
my
water
glass
even
after
I’ve
paid.
The
“you
should
go
now”
signs
only
kick
in
if
the
place
is
starting
to
fill
up
(understandable),
opposite
of
Crú,
which
was
actually
starting
to
empty
as
we
were
finishing
up.
“Wine
bars”
are
expensive
because
people
tend
to
stay
longer
than
typical
dinner
fare…so
the
service
needs
to
match
this
expectation
and
price.
