At this comfortable East Colfax wine bar-cum-restaurant (in the former space for Tante Louise), an eclectic mix of old-timers, neighborhood dwellers and urban hipsters converge for the solid happy hours, small plates menu, wine roster and gorgeous patio, with a statuesque waterfall. Bare-wooded tables, terracotta-hued walls and sheer white curtains illuminated by sunlight fill the old house. The space is divided into separate dining rooms and is large enough to hold a small army, but most patrons settle into the front room with its antique sofa, working fireplace, and loungey bar zone. The globetrotting menu focuses on shareable small plates like Kobe beef burger sliders, a sausage plate complete with wild boar, German veal beer brats, and smoked elk, or opt for the ahi tuna carpaccio or steamed mussels. Cheese flights are big here, and you can choose from more than 20 world-spanning selections.
