"What an unexpectedly fabulous experience! We went on a rainy Wednesday night for a birthday celebration. It was one of the few places we could find with covered outdoor dining. They have a super cute and surprisingly spacious back patio. You 'd never know from looking at the storefront.This isn 't a place where you sit in a table and order off the menu, as they don 't have a restaurant license. When you arrive, you talk to the cheesemonger about your likes and dislikes, and place your order at the counter. We went for the charcuterie plate (5 meats/cheeses), as well as the prosciutto and seasonal fruit salad, and the tapenade. You can also choose a bottle of wine from their wine shop to enjoy out on their back patio with your food. They then bring everything out to you, and if you order a white, they 'll put it on ice for you. Wine-wise, we went with the Meinklang Gruner and the Albret La Vina De Mi Madre cab. Both were phenomenal. Food-wise, we loved the selection of cheeses chosen (by the cheese monger) for our charcuterie board, and the prosciutto salad was fantastic. I was a little less excited about the tapenade. Neither was served with enough bread, so we wound up having to order a bit more bread (there 's a $3 charge). Everyone on the staff was lovely, and the patio was so wonderful and cozy. As other reviews have said, this place truly is a hidden gem."
