Combine the extensive drink list with a small-but-mighty menu of French classics and you have a recipe for the coziest Parisian-inspired evening.
This natural wine bar is committed to spotlighting small, under-represented winemakers that produce vintages that are complex in taste, yet affordable in price.

Situated along H Street, this wine bistro showcases the Mid-Atlantic region with Virginia wines, alongside global varieties, and thoughtful dinner menu. Wine and dine with delight as local and sustainable ingredients shine and the well-curated wine list offers a great value.
