It's a cheese and wine bar so enough said really! Order a cheese/wine flight - they give you 4 cheeses and 4 matched wines. It's delicious and not too expensive.

Delicious reasonably priced Mexican food. It's located inside Curtain House which is a skinny 6 story building with a few other bars and restaurants. There's a bar on the rooftop (aptly named Rooftop Bar) which is nice for a drink on a sunny afternoon or balmy night.
