“Definitely a "classy casual" vibe that feels intimate without being super small (read: cramped) like some other wine bars.”
“Cute, homey, intimate little place dimly lit with candles and furnished with couches, cozy tables, and exposed brick walls.”
“The seating area in the back has couches and walls lined with board games and books; Jadis is great for both small groups and dining solo.”

Small cozy place, came for happy hour (cheaper wine or something to that effect). Girlfriend got wine, I opted for beer. Jadis really needs to improve their beer selection to complement the amazingly delicious small plates they serve. Beer selection has actually prevented me from returning, however the happy hour wine and food has brought back my girlfriend with her girlfriends many times. I have concluded that they wont change the beer lineup since it doesn't really effect their bottom line.
Ordered various small plates. Mixed olives and charcuterie & cheeses. Great pricing structure and well chosen products. All were delicious and presented nicely.
Escargot was nicely drenched in butter and garlic. Meat itself was ok, but when butter is involved all you're really looking for is a vessel to carry butter into the mouth. In this case, snails. Bacon wrapped scallops, nicely wrapped. Scallop was slightly over cooked, but it's happy hour, probably the C chef was back there, so Jadis gets a pass and we get what we paid for.
Leading us to the two best things here. Ham gruyere panini, pressed nice and firm. Good crunch on the bread, slightly melted gruyere, and warm ham. Ham and cheese combo works anywhere and works here as well. Carrying forth from that idea, bacon and gruyere quiche (Lorraine on the menu) is easily one of the best quiches I ever had. I don't eat many quiches but when I want to, I think of this one time I ate the Lorraine quiche, cause ya know, no beer to pair it with.
We absolutely enjoyed our time at Jadis!! We came on a Wednesday night for wine and bites, and the restaurant was fairly empty but did have a few visitors – just how we like it! I walk by this place on weekend nights all of the time and they appear to always be really busy, so it was exciting that it was pretty quiet and low key.
I was surprised by how large the space is. In the front there is a cozy bar and lots of tables, and in the back are couches and larger tables. The atmosphere was great, a comfortable theme with a lot of charm.
We were completely blown away by the service! The bartender tended to our table, and he could have been more attentive or friendly! He allowed us to take our time and provided excellent food and wine recommendations.
For food we ordered Mac and Cheese bites and a flambee with squash. We also ordered the charcuterie board with pecorino and Pierre Robert cheeses, and garlic sausage and beef. The food was all extremely tasty!
This is the perfect place to come during the week, and truly enjoy the wine, food, setting and service with a good friend.
Hello wine bar.
Decent selection of wines with emphasis on France (good) and some fun oddball regions like Georgia (the country, not Atlanta). They serve a decent selection of small plate food – would probably do a meat and cheese platter again.
It's a long, but tight space so when people roll in for birthday parties there, it can get a bit loud, but that's why you in the EV, yes?
Charcuterie with happy hour wine and sangria? Look no further because Jadis has it! A cute restaurant in the lower east side, this place was the perfect spot to sit outside (only one table available at the front of the restaurant), drink some wine and eat some deliciously cut meat and cheeses. Although there is very limiting seating outside, the inside is wonderfully decorated as well, giving off a close and intimate vibe, great for dates or friend catch-up sessions.
My boyfriend and I came here around 5 which was perfect as they have happy hour 5-7 Mon-Sat with $6-8 wines and sangria. I had their grapefruit sangria and it was deliciously made. It tasted super fresh and very well balanced. Great for a hot summer's day.
As for the food, we started with the truffle mushroom risotto puffs. For $6, it was well-worth it. There were 4 delicious puffs of heaven. It had a crisp exterior from the filo dough and was soft and mushy on the inside from the rice and mushroom. The truffle was the perfect finishing touch. We also shared the mixed olives which was a yummy little plate of olives at $4. Both were great picks!
As for the star, we got the platter of meats and cheese at $22. With that, you get a selection of 4 choices from a variety of meats and soft and hard cheeses. It also came with grapes, mustard and cornichons. We selected the Serrano ham, veal terrine, Fourme d'Ambert (a blue cheese) and Pierre Robert (similar to a brie but stronger). Everything was great for splitting between 2-3 people and they gave plenty of sliced baguette for the platter. At $22, it was so worth the price.
Overall, it was a great experience. The service was so nice, very attentive. They constantly refilled our plates and checked on us to ensure we were enjoying our food and drinks. We definitely enjoyed everything. Delicious!
What an awesome little place! They have a super cute sitting area all the way in the back, with couches and chairs. However, we set at the bar because it was going to be just drinks and appz and then off to dinner at another place.
The food is made in front of you at the bar. The guy was good with all the orders and super fast.
Appz: we got the meets and cheese – Serrano Ham, Duck Liver Mousse, Brie Goat and Manchego. And we had to get the Escargot!!! Fantastic choices, because everything was delicious. You can get as much bread as you want too!
Of course we got some vino, which was great too. We went with Sauvignon Blanc.
I would recommend this place for any occasion: dates, girls night, business meetings etc…
We came across this place while doing a random search for close wine bars while out.
It seems like it gets more of a local crowd than rando's coming in, but I like that…even though I was a rando. The atmosphere is nice and rustic looking. It made for a comfortable great place to talk with friends and have a night out without needing to go crazy.
The happy hour deals were pretty good, and the food smelled great. We had a little snack and were happy with our choices.
I would go back if I'm in the neighborhood again.
Such a great spot – how do people not know about this? It's a lower-level French wine bar with a garden, and cozy couches in the back. You could do so much worse. We shared a great bottle of red and a sparkling white, plus lots of different appetizers – crab cakes, bruschetta, chorizo and a tasty meat and cheese plate. They were out of the cheese I wanted, which is why I'm docking a star, but I will definitely be back.
Came here for dinner in a Friday night because a host of other places in the lower east side were full. Food was so good! We ordered the cheese board with the lamb, duck rillettes, Pierre Robert cheese and reblochon cheese (we love soft cheeses), bacon wrapped scallops, escargot, mushroom truffle risotto puffs and Lorraine quiche. Cheese & meat board, bacon wrapped scallops and risotto puffs were the highlights of the meal and unique to this restaurant. The escargot and quiche were good but you could get the same dishes elsewhere.
Ambience was casual. The interior is dimly lit and lined with brick walls. There are large communal tables in the back open to groups of diners to drink, eat and even play board games.
All in all would definitely recommend this cute spot in LES
