Pasadena food and wine bar for Euro & Cajun-infused tastes.. What appears to be just a simple blue-coated storefront on Mentor Avenue is actually a vino wonderland. Inside, an upscale wine lover's dream awaits, designed to mimic the finest wine bars in Paris. The restaurant/bar boasts the biggest selection of Pinot Noir in Los Angeles, and its massive collection of more than 300 wines can be served up by the glass, carafe, flight or bottle and paired with plates of cheese and charcuterie like duck pate, beef tartare and duck confit. Tapas are touched with the flavor of New Orleans and embellished with creative, foodie-indulgent styles of French and Italian cuisine. Shrimp gumbo, smoked salmon and potato taquitos, and seared prime hanger steak are just a few of the popular dishes here.
