"Very cool vibes, great wines and food. But cramped seating and very loud for a wine bar (could hardly hear my date). Got the bronzino and the lamb burger, both very good. Lemon and goat cheese appetizer was fire as well."

"This South African wine bar is a great spot in the UES for amazing wine and/or great food. The interior is cozy and there's plenty of seating, but I recommend making a reservation for big groups. Service is stellar here and everyone is so friendly. We tried a couple of wines, and everything was amazing. I've never had the chance to try South African wines before, so I really enjoyed this! Would definitely recommend to others!"

"Some friends of mine brought me here cause it’s their favorite wine bar in the city. Both bottles of wine, we let the staff select for us and both were perfect. I did prefer the slightly drier sauv blanc. It’s not just wine though, the food is beyond delicious. The chicken sandwich I will dram about until I can have another. It was crazy how good it is. The duck was so surprising, I’m used to duck being tough or chewy and the duck frites here melt in your mouth. Beyond impressive. Don’t forget to start with the deviled eggs (although, two pieces, which is one full egg is kinda disappointing) and end with dessert. Malta pudding for the win. I immediately started making a list of people I need to bring to this amazing restaurant. It looks like they have some fun day events sometimes too based on some posters I saw. I’d love to come back for that."

"Nice spot for a bottle of wine and some unique South African dishes. The prawns were were outstanding served with a really nice spicy sauce that also went really well with the bread they served. It is rather noisy but overall was still a nice evening."

"This is a great local wine bar. We got to try authentic African blends and they were really good. The staff there were very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the different wines and where the regions they’re from. We also got the veggie sliders as a snack and they were delicious. The sauce that it comes with perfectly complemented the potato patty. They also give you some bread with your wine and I really enjoyed the seasoning that it came with. We also got some cheeses and I really liked that there were so many different options to pick from. The seating area is really nice, it’s comfortable for big and small groups. This wine bar really felt like a local spot that welcomes everyone and really fosters a sense of community. Insta: @TheShahLALand"
