Moscow Mule Cocktail Drink

This relaxing wine bar in the thick of the Houston Uptown/Galleria area is a nice treat for wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers. They also offer a nice selection of sharing plates and entrees if your not a big wine drinker like myself. The cheese board is one of their finest starters and highly recommended with customers.

Experience

My visit came on a Saturday afternoon and I was the only person in the restaurant. I had my easy pickings of tables that offer easy access and there were quite a few. I picked a table in the back that gave me easy access. In the evening the restaurant has musicians playing and tends to get crowded.

With regard to my dining experience, the overall experience was satisfactory with no issues involving my meal. To start I ordered a Moscow Mule, this cocktail comes with ginger beer, vodka, and lime. This was really good and not too overly strong. Certainly a good option for casual or non-wine drinkers.

Next, with regard to my food, I started with the cheese plate and my group ordered cheeseburger sliders and garlic hummus as a starter. The cheese plate was the biggest size they offer and it had 3 mild kinds of cheese and was complimented with garlic toast, pickles, fruit, nuts, and jam. This was superb and definitely there best offering for an appetizer.

The other starters, cheeseburger sliders, and garlic hummus were really good and excellent small plates to share with 2 or 3 people. Lastly, I ordered a piccanti pizza and beware this pizza is very spicy. This pizza comes with pepperoni, chili flakes, mozzarella, honey, and red sauce. Despite being spicy this pizza was tremendous and exceptionally flavorful. Certainly, their pizzas are a great option for an entree if you’re still hungry after the starters.
