When I saw there was a wine & cheese place to open in LIC, I was so excited! However, after visiting I am really disappointed! I came here with a friend who was visiting from out of town as she loves cheese!
When we were seated our server explained how things worked as it was our first visit. He advised us that they do not stock all of the cheeses on the menu and so if we let him know what we like he will recommend a cheese to compliment our wine. So straight away I was wondering why they even bothered with a menu if you can't actually order from everything that is on it. So while we decided we ordered our wine. I found the selection to be quite pricey, especially compared to other establishments in the area. The wine that my friend would typically order was $17 a glass.
Once we ordered our wine (1 white & 1 red), our server advised that it was a great choice as luckily the same types of cheese would go well with both the wines we had selected. By this point I kind of felt I was being told what I wanted to hear rather than actual factual information (I feel bad saying it, but I got the feeling I was being spun something).
In the end, we decided to go for the cheese and meat board ($25) on the menu, where the chef chooses the cheese for you. I found the portion to be quite small, with just a thin slice of each cheese. There was a larger portion of meat than cheese. The cheese tasted fine, but I just would have liked more!
Based on this experience, I would not feel a need to return. Although I saw another tables cheese board that came out after ours that looked a lot better, so maybe if I tried a different selection I may have a different opinion. Overall I did not feel I got value for money.
