The Rind

First time here and wow I know what the hype is all about now! Our server was knowledgeable and attentive, helping my girlfriend and I select the right drinks and cheeses based on our palletes. The staff here truly care about creating a delicious and enjoyable experience. We ended up loving each of the cheeses (cheddar, smoked gouda and goat) and all of the accompaniments. We already decided we’ll need to come back just to try the grilled cheeses too!

You read the menu and you're like "okay grilled cheese and mac and cheese? That's not very impressive" but then you read the ingredients and taste how decadent it all is and honestly? No regrets on spending $15 on a sandwich. The best meals I've EVER had have been here.

Also, if you like wine, they have plenty of options and for someone who ISN'T a connoisseur, such as me, they were super patient with finding a wine that paired with the food I chose AND that I genuinely enjoyed.

? So good! When my green max and cheese was placed in front of me it looked tasty, but I was immediately disappointed by the small size of the portion. It was was deliciously rich though that I couldn’t finish it. I looked forward to returning.

I went here very briefly with a couple of friends one day. They have good wine available as well as some other interesting options. I didn't try anything on the menu other than the wine, but we took a look, and the happy hour looks great.
It is a super cute interior, small and cozy, with a little classy (has to be with the wine and cheese, right?)
The waitress was very friendly and helpful. She gave us a sampling of the wine we got before we went all in for a glass.
Great experience overall, and I hope to be back for a Happy Hour soon.
