The Wine Bar

Frommer's Review

With more than 50 wines by the glass and a ventilated smoking lounge where cigars are welcomed, this is the joint for would-be high rollers to celebrate their winnings at the track (or drown their sorrows in a good glass of wine and a nice meal). Trendy but moderately priced, with an upstairs bar and attractively modern and clean decor, it features a menu that will appeal to both wine-and-cigar guys and fashionable sorts. Dishes are available in both small-plate (tapas) and entree portions, and they change seasonally; among recent offerings were lobster poached in truffle butter with roasted beet and citrus salad; rare ahi crusted with Asian spices and served with a calamari stir-fry; and a beef filet with braised vegetables, forest mushrooms, and a foie gras demisauce. For dessert, the best idea is a good dessert wine and one of the many cheese plates. The select wine list changes on a weekly basis. On Friday and Saturday nights, there's live piano music.
