Maydan Washington Reviews
My second time here and I won't be back.
Server did not explain how the menu works I asked for one Tawle since I was here for New Year's Eve I had the Tawle experience but for my friend was her first time. We order one Tawle with branzino as a main course. I wanted to try the lamb shoulder but I did not ask for the price. We ended up with a $400 bill. The Tawle is listed for $75.00 per person online and at the restaurant but it's actually $85.00 they charge $20 per person for the lamb and $85 the branzino a la cart server said that it was more convenient to me be billets that way. The lamb shoulder a la cart was $120 and I paid $125. In reality we paid more that way. In top of that they charge you 20% gratuity. This is not the tip for the server, it is 8% to paid benefits or better wages to the stuff and 12% goes to a pull for the front of the house employees. In top of that you get taxed on that gratuity as well. The server told us that we were his favorite guest that we order the Tawle plus the lamb- (inside me I doubt this was a positive comment) we were ready for the check when he explained the two desserts they had that day. That they were included with our Tawle experience. That they were free for us ( I saw desserts are $12.00 each) we had only one he even said we could have them to go. So it was clear that he knew we overpaid our dinner. We were shocked when we saw the bill, this has never ever happen to me. I also used to work as a waitress and this guy first should explain that the Tawle experience cannot be order only for one person. They give you the same amount of food I had when I came by myself. They had prefix menu for New Year's Eve and I was so impressed since it was a good price for the amount of food. But when I spoke with the front staff the said that I had a good deal when I came by myself. This time I paid doble for the same food I had a few months ago. Food was delicious, service was behind this time. Plus we had a young server only caring for how much the bill could be rather than taking care of the customer. No suggestions no warning us that the way we want to order was going to be very expensive. He only was saying that was a lot of food and yes I knew I was here before but not wanting to paid $400.00 before you go to this restaurant study the menu as question and ask about all the extra charges they do. 20% to provide better wages for their employees but they charge you for even more from what it says in their menu. We left shocked! Disappointed and upset. Not coming back and making sure my friends don't visit this place. Parking is not easy so really not a place that worth the visit.
Amazing food and atmosphere, highly recommend going if you
Amazing food and atmosphere, highly recommend going if you can get in! The bar is a great option if you can't make a reservation, we just walked in on a random week day and got seats at the bar after only a few minutes of waiting. Lamb shoulder and kebabs are amazing!
This is hands down my favorite restaurant in DC.
Like this is the one spot I will recommend everyone to go to and I will take my out of state visitors to. It is just that good. Food: 12/10, food is excellent. The star of the night was the Spring Hummus and the Charred Zucchini. I still dream about the Spring Hummus, it is so delicate and just perfect blend of flavor and texture. I did not have a drink but my friends did and they both enjoyed theirs. Service: 10/10, amazing hospitality and service. All the staff . Our waiter knew which orders we have gotten and are still waiting on and make sure we are good throughout the night. Vibe: 10/10, cutest layout and decor. When you walk in, you are greeted in a dark and small room, but will be taken to behind a very cute door that opens up to the hearth and a spacious dining space. I booked this ahead right when the reservation opens up. This place gets completely booked so I would recommend planning ahead.
Maydan has really tasty food.
HOWEVER- I don't see anyone in these reviews speaking about the 20% service charge they add to bills that is NOT counted as a tip towards your server. I found on Reddit that last year it was 8%- now it is 20%??? That literally feels illegal. I enjoyed my meal but I won't be back due to this asinine charge for no good reason. It isn't even on the menu!!! Also, our ribeye (which is $75) was late AND showed up rare. I love medium rare but the thing was still practically blue. Disappointing for price point.
What a phenomenal experience.
From beginning to end everything was delicious for my wife's birthday. Can't wait to return when we're back in dc.
Such a great experience.
Awesome ambience, great service and the food was out of this world! We got the tasting menu. The kids got the chicken kabob, lamb kabob and shrimp kabob and all were good. The appetizers, second dish and dessert were to die for. I got the rib eye and it was ok... the server recommended it medium rare but I should have gotten it medium. But overall everything was smacking! Even the bathroom was cute! Must eat for sure.
One of the top restaurants in DC.
Very hard to find because it's literally in an alley with secret door. We were first to arrive at restaurant about 10 minutes early and was told to wait. Promptly at 5 we opened the door again and the staff were just standing there - weird! They escorted us to table upstairs in a corner at a high top, we refused because we had reservations weeks in advanced and why the worst table in the house. He had to go back downstairs and then tried seating us at another bad table, we refused and we suggested a table and he asked again and we were seated. Again we were first- weird! The place is dark and choppy. Food is good but not great. We ordered the sampler with the branzino and chicken. The flavors are good and ingredients are fresh. 20 percent is automatically added to bill and that is not the gratuity per the receipt. We usually tip 20 -25 percent but they want an additional 20 percent for wait staff-greedy!
Good food and ambiance.
Tip: choose your own adventure, no need to do the set menu if you are looking for a unique experience
I stopped in to Maydฤn for dinner on my own as I was at a
I stopped in to Maydฤn for dinner on my own as I was at a conference. I was able to walk in and get a seat at the bar. The food was amazing. The service, impeccable. Daniel is a bartender, par excellence. He made me an old fashioned, that I was honestly prepared to hate. The drink was bought for me, and I literally avoid whiskey drinks. (Ask my husband.) Anyway, it was so delicious I ordered another. He suggested the Walnut Casio when I couldn't decide on a spread, and it was out of this world. I'm truly not exaggerating! I also had the roasted beets and halloumi. So delicious! (Check my other reviews. I'm not always this effusive.) I'll definitely be back.
I've never had a bad meal here.
I don't even like dessert and loved their pavlova with lebneh and pomegranate. Obsessed with the roasted beet spread. Great venue. Beautifully served dishes.
Mandatory 20% which was not the tip!!!
Had a wonderful meal with great service but was shocked when the bill came and was noted that a mandatory 20% โnot tip or gratuityโ!!!!! So now we are at a 40% over and above the bill? That is insane!!!! Not sure how you justify this non gratuity 20% ???
We had a truly outstanding meal this evening with a couple
We had a truly outstanding meal this evening with a couple of friends. Excellent service, knowledgeable but not cloying). Not a single dish on the table d'hote menu (tawle) that I did not like - only there was too much of it (so much came home for lunches and dinners to come). Nice drinks menu with beers and wines and cocktails. Want to try everything again, and try some things that are on the a la carte menu that were not on the tawle menu One small gripe -- a friend and I each grabbed reservations for four and both got them. The host was glad to allow us to cancel one (you have to put a credit card down) but somehow we ended up outside rather than inside, and although there are heaters we found ourselves bit chilled.
Been there first when it opened a few years ago, the food
Been there first when it opened a few years ago, the food was exceptionally good. Been there today and I'm very disappointed. The food was less than average. Poor meat quality. Tasteless Toum sauce. Too bad for a Michelin star restaurant. I hope they won't lose it.
One word.
Amazing! Staff was on point, atmosphere was warm and inviting, and food was amazing
Some of the best food we've ever had.
The service was so quick and everyone was friendly and provided wonderful insight to the food. We ordered the tawle menu and from the get go each dip and spread was perfect. We both loved the cheese dish and the chicken. Dessert was a nice light finish to a filling meal. The ambiance was welcoming and surprisingly causal with an upbeat and open vibe. We absolutely recommend anyone in the area check it out and we'll be returning soon.
i dont get the hype of maydan; especially as a
i dont get the hype of maydan; especially as a mediterranean person myself. i ve tried Maydan multiple times; and each time the staff mostly have some attitude. the atmosphere is cute. the drinks are okay the lamb dish tastes the best but smells heavy (cuz its lamb, duh). i think all the meze's were a bit 'whatever' every time i dined there. not bad; but nothing special either. my last order included muhammara, casik, halloumi and lamb shoulder
Before I get into what an incredible meal and dining
Before I get into what an incredible meal and dining experience, my two cons. One, I booked this meal maybe 3 weeks prior to going and the Tawle experience was listed at $75. When we got there we were told it was $85. I didn't bring it up cause I wanted a nice evening of no fuss. Not sure if there was a miscommunication or they increased their menu by $10 (almost 15%) in that time span. The other con is their 8% gratuity charge. The description for it on their menu is vague and gratuity charges are rarely done right. A required gratuity charge to make up for management's failure to pay their staff a living wage should not be something customers are responsible for. What an INCREDIBLE dining experience!!! Maydan has been on my list for a while and I got their cookbook about a month ago and have been trying their stuff out at home, but nothing could've prepared me for how deliciously filling it was. While a little difficult to the find, discovering their huge, beautiful door tucked into an ally made me feel like I was in on DC's best secret and when you open the door, you're teleported into another word of incredible music and colorful tapestries. We sat inside and I think this is a must! The space is bustling and at the center of their room is a huge huge fire they use to cook their meals, namely, their pita. We sat upstairs. Our staff was so sweet and professional and knowledgeable. They acknowledged our request for vegetarian food from our reservation. We also mentioned it was our anniversary in our reservation, so they brought us a class of non-alcoholic champagne to top of the dinner at the end. The best part was, because we didn't order any alc beverages, he didnt even ask he just assumed we werent drinking felt so personal and thoughtful. Now onto the food. I don't even know where to be begin. Get the Tawle menu so you can everything. The first course is mainly their dips and peeta every single one was perfect and unique. My favorite was the red pepper dip. The halloumi ugh the halloumi was INCREDIBLE i wish we got more. It was warm and sweet and nutty. The picked veggies and the dates were also memorable. By this point I was already at like 85% full! Next was the main dish and we went with the cauliflower and it was so flavorful! It was very spicy and very large. The colors were amazing and I loved every bite of it!! Finally, we got another mix of bowls and selections from their menu which included their carrots, watercress salad, chicken kababs and couscous. The chicken kababs were my favorite thing on the entire menu and despite being almost over full at this point, I ate them all alone, for my partner is a vegetarian and also, I probably wouldn't have shared anyways haha. The salad was also an incredible addition at this point where I was so full and it was very comforting. The couscous is how fall, the season, tastes to a tea. Finally, we got a choice between two desserts and we went with the pomegranate one! It was soft and airy and creamy and the perfect pic for the end of a meal filled with heavy, strong flavors. Noticeably full, the staff boxed up all our leftovers to bring home. The check comes in a book, which as a librarian and bookseller made with yelp with joy it was such a cute touch and people had written tons of notes and compliments to the restaurant all over the book, it was so sweet and fun! Highly recommend Maydan. I'm already looking forward to going back!
A top 5 dining experience.
The food is expertly prepared. It is middle-eastern fare served family style in four courses. Our server, Eli, was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We sat outside in a covered well heated tent that was cozy and warm. Outstanding from start to finish.
My husband and I tried Maydan for the first time for
My husband and I tried Maydan for the first time for Valentine's Day and I cannot wait to go back. Upon entering we were greeted by two friendly hostesses and seated promptly. We had the Valentine's Day menu food and wine pairing. Everything was 5/5 from food to service and staff just perfect! However the highlight of my night was the ribeye steak with green peppercorn sauce (I dream of this!) and the labne pavlova with strawberry and rhubarb coulis such a perfect pairing. Restaurant was dimly lit, clean and perfectly decorated. it was amazing to see the meats being prepared on the open fire. We will be returning to Maydan for sure! I've told alllll my friends about my experience.
The service was incredible.
This place is so good!! You can also snag last minute reservations. The food and ambiance is top tier!
My favorite restaurant in all of DC!!! With lantern
My favorite restaurant in all of DC!!! With lantern lighting, fun tapestries, a fire pit, and other pretty decor, the atmosphere cannot be beat. We ordered from the A La Carte menu, and everything was so perfectly-spiced and truly special. It's a great place to impress visitors or a date - just make sure you book a reservation way in advance.
Top quality ambience, service and food
Wonderful experience. It all begins with a challenge to find the location. Once found it definitely a must visit and repeat. We had no reservation but the warm hostess found a way and seated us at the bar. At the bar dorothy was excellent - non intrusive but yet attentive. The ambience especially in winters is wonderful. The sevice excellent. The food was par par excellenance with the cabbage, prawns and haloumi standout. Avoid much of the starters just stomach fillers. Kudos good job and will be back
Great food and ambiance
When you walk in you know itโs going to be delicious. The air smells of delicious food and the fire grill in the middle of the restaurant is impressive looking. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Both were great. Highly recommend this path so you can get a bunch of different things. There are two wine pairings, and we got the more adventurous ones. The wines were good and Iโm glad I tried them. Only critique was the pacing of food. The first two courses were well-timed and the third came out too quickly. We were not even halfway through the wine or food from the second course and suddenly the ribeye and next wine arrive. Needed another 10-15 mins. Would definitely come back again.
Great find
Took us a while to find the restaurant hidden down a side street. Restaurant has main cooking area on right, with a few outdoor tables on street and another area indoors on the left which was where we were seated. Food wise - we had the fixed menu of 2 courses of starters (dips, pickled veg, dates and fresh herbs) followed by sea bass and rib eye. My wife thought the rib eye was the best sheโd ever hadโฆ We chose a Palestine white which was excellent Great restaurant and defo recommend!!
Stand-out Middle Eastern flavours
Weโre very used to having Middle Eastern food and wondered how it could be made to stand out; this showed us how! Many of the usual types of dishes but with so much more intensity of flavour and original ideas in ingredients and spicing. We had the tawle menu so had a good range of different treats. Delightful service in a relatively small (but beautifully set out) dining room meant that we were looked after very well all evening without it feeling overbearing or rushed. Highly recommended for anyone who likes this type of food or anyone who hasnโt tried it before!
Extremely good dinner
Very, very good Fatherโs Day dinner. Service was extremely friend and professional. Ages at my table ranged from 11 to 81 and all enjoyed their experience (ambiance, food, conversation and service). Our first course included Labne, Halloumi and dates (high recommend). Second course Lamb Shish) and roasted eggplant โ both highly recommend. Last course was the Ribeye โ cooked a perfect medium rare. I very much look forward to our next Maydan meal.
Event Planning Customer Service Experience
If you are looking for a venue to host your next event, I highly suggest Maydan for a low-stress, collaborative experience. While I have yet to have the opportunity to visit Maydan in person, I had a wonderful interaction with the event coordinator and managerial staff. I was disappointed when my organization did not select Maydan to host our event because the staff I had interacted with thus far had been so friendly and helpful; I trust their behavior would've been the same in person.
Flavorful dishes
House made Hummus was very good. Skewer Chicken was tender but with with minimal flavor. Labneh was thick and flavorful. Tabbouleh was made with fresh ingredients. Olives were cinnamon flavored. They were just ok. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Decor is rustic chic. It is a pricey restaurant but you get what you pay forโฆ it is a delightful restaurant in otherwise culinary impaired city like D.C.
Amazing food!!
One of my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Washington DC. Great service and awesome food. Large portion size to be shared! Making a reservation is recommended as this is one Michelin-star restaurant!
Maydan has now moved to a group prix fixe menu (the Tawle
Maydan has now moved to a group prix fixe menu (the Tawle menu) and it was honestly mindblowingly amazing. Everything about it was so, so good, and their wine selection is unique, delicious, and well priced.They bring you the meal in three waves and the portions depend on the number of people in your group. First were the spreads, the. halloumi, this crudite platter of pickled veggies, herbs, and dates, and four condiments. They tell you to mix and match everything with the bread (which they refresh as soon as it looks somewhat empty). Oh my goodness, that halloumi was so good, as was the walnut spread. Next come the roasted vegetables (carrots for us), which were roasted to perfection the tabbouleh, and the two kebabs (beef and chicken). I personally preferred the beef but both were so flavorful and so insanely juicy, and went so well with the condiments. Last was the ribeye (you can also choose the branzino, cauliflower or lamb shoulder), which was tender and charred and we couldn't stop eating it. AND you get dessert even if you're stuffed to the brim. It was my birthday so they did the candle, which was a nice touch.We were worried that with two people, the portions would be a lot smaller than the photos you see on Yelp but we were absolutely stuffed and took home leftovers (which they packed up super well). For $69, given the amount and quality of the food and the excellent service and ambiance, it was honestly a steal. We would have definitely done the wine pairings but given the portions of the food, we probably would've had to be carried home, so it's a good thing we didn't!You need reservations though--about exactly a month in advance because this place fills up (and I can see why)!
It's a Michelin star restaurant for a reason and it lives
It's a Michelin star restaurant for a reason and it lives up the hype. In the foyer area you are instantly emerged into the Moroccan ambiance and the aroma of grilled food. The hostess gives you a introduction of the restaurant, the open grill and even the restroom location. Our table ordered the Tawle Menu which is pre-selected items served family style and was very satisfying. Our waitress, Molly and her team was very attentive and gave descriptions of every course we had. The drinks were great and the food was awesome . Definitely plan to return to try out otitems from the main menu.
Maydan, with its conspicuous door set down an unsuspecting
Maydan, with its conspicuous door set down an unsuspecting alley, is a culinary experience. My wife and I recently visited for our anniversary - we'd read great things about the restaurant and the Michelin star definitely got my attention. Our meal was incredible and our service attentive and friendly. Where I felt let down was in the evening's ambiance.I made a reservation through Resy and found that the restaurant communicated well, which I appreciated. Upon arrivingwe were seated quickly and waitstaff immediately walked us through the menu. We'd already decided to try the Tawle menu, and chose to order the lamb shoulder as out large plate. To drink, my wife tried a warm cocktail and I ordered the eclectic "do you trust us" wine pairing. Plates arrived at a comfortable pace, beginning with an array of amazing dips and spreads, crisp pickled vegetables, delightful baked cheese, and house-made flatbread. The second course included grilled chicken, a tabouleh salad, roast carrots with harissa, and nutty freekah. Already full, we watched as an impressive, perfectly spiced, fall-off-the-bone lamb shoulder was set down - proof that our eyes are truly larger than our stomachs. To finish, we shared a chewy-crunchy semolina cake with fruit compote. Throughout our meal, we thoroughly enjoyed an assortment of fascinating wines, each with a totally different character but perfectly complementing the dishes before us. Our meal at Maydan was a truly memorable one.Unfortunately, my memory of an outstanding meal was tarnished somewhat by less than outstanding ambiance. When I made a reservation 21 days in advance, I had imagined dining inside the beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately, we were seated outside in a tent. We were comfortable - the decorated tent was well heated and I understand that dining has irreversibly changed in the post-Covid era. However, atmosphere is a major component of a dining experience, and my high expectations were somewhat dashed. I now realize that seating for reservations is outdoors, and again, we had an overall great meal. But for those who really care about ambiance, be aware that the Tawle experience may not be for you.
Good, but not worth the hype.
Had Maydan's tasting menu + lamb shoulder.
The food was delicious but Maydan didn't live up to its reputation.
The cocktails were delicious!
One of the prominent examples of how initial hype is all
One of the prominent examples of how initial hype is all you need and quality doesn't really matter. for such a high end restaurant it is unacceptable that you fail the eggplant test and serve it par cooked. I know not to order eggplant in American restaurants but thought that for a luxury restaurant I'm safe to do it. When I sent the dish back, I got a replacement chickpea dish instead which was good, and feeling bad about what happened, I complimented the waiter for the flavorful Schug they had on it to which he responded "its actually called zoog". Sorry my mistake. finally, again, for such an expensive restaurant, it is unacceptable to have another cardboard pita of the type they serve in local falafel joints. you charge this much for a dish, go to the Middle East to learn how to make a proper pita, or just to local joints like Yellow or Muncheez that got it right. Dessert was uneatable banana cake, no relationship to the region the restaurant is inspired by. Too bad
Loooove this place.
That fire in the middle is amazing ambiance. The drinks are creative, strong, and tasty. I could eat the warm they keep refilling for an entire meal. The dips are fantastic. I really love the chicken kabob and shrimp. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, always ready with a suggestion.
It's a good place, but I don't think it's at the level of
It's a good place, but I don't think it's at the level of other Michelin starred restaurants in the city. The food is delicious, however. I particularly enjoyed the halloumi and the ribeye steak. Service was attentive and provided us with good recommendations.I love the open kitchen/grill concept, but other than that the decors are pretty basic. I'd say typical contemporary, minimalistic style.
We decided to try Maydan because it looked intriguing.
We were impressed by the decor and our table was down stairs next to where the magic happens. On the way we had discussed drink options and decided to go with the "Do you trust us" option, because we didn't know any of the wines they had listed. We were disappointed with this option. The pours were short and the wines were just so-so. Especially for $150 per couple. But, the food was over the top! Nothing we were served disappointed us! Especially the shrimp! The chicken was delicious as well. We decided that next time we will order the Rib Eye as it seems to be very popular. We brought home quite a bit of food! A definite hit!
We had the most lovely meal here the other night.
Nestled in an alleyway this cozy restaurant is full of comfort and simple flair. We had to order from the Tawle menu which was fairly expensive, but delicious. The portions were enormous so I actually wish we could've done a scaled down tawle menu. They were out of a few wines, but our waiter made excellent suggestions. For me the star of the meal was the Ribeye, it is so perfectly seasoned, and the fenugreek took it to another level. My dining companions loved their Bronzino as well. I was not in love with the desserts- they had flavors I liked, but not completely there. Still a lovely night!
Excellent food for a good price
Everything was seasoned to perfection, the atmosphere was welcoming but rustically beautiful the outside was also quite nice, and had heaters so it wasnโt too cold. The food was incredibly packed with flavor which it some of the best food Iโve ever had!
Really good food, drinks and ambiance - their Tawle menu is
Really good food, drinks and ambiance - their Tawle menu is meant to be enjoyed family style and it was plenty of food. Only thing is there was a small water leak right above my friend's chair that they had no solve for.
I can't say enough positive things about Maydan! The food,
I can't say enough positive things about Maydan! The food, drinks, service, and experience are incredible. This is by far my favorite restaurant in DC. I highly recommend doing the experience menu because you get a taste of everything with enough food to feed you the next day. You can't go wrong with any of the drinks but the Mediterranean G&T is flawless!
Worth the hype
Iโd wanted to check out Maydan for several years and finally made it there for my birthday this year. The experience did not disappoint! Every course was absolutely delicious. The muhamarra was the best Iโve ever had. The ribeye was cooked to perfection. The tabbouleh salad was probably the most underwhelming, but only because it was next to so many other amazing things. All of the waiters were knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely plan on going back.
Amazing Tawle
Truly amazing experience for our first time at a Michelin star restaurant. We got the bronzino with the Tawle experience and the โdo you trust us?โ wine pairing. Iโm not sure Iโd need the wine pairing again, but they were definitely unique wines I wouldnโt have normally tried and worked well with the food. Service was great (there were a lot of staff) and we left positively stuffed, with some leftovers as well. Donโt fill up too much on dips at the start, because there are two more sets of food coming!
Magical!
Simply one of the great dining experiences. Tucked away in a warehouse at the back of an alley, the dining room is hidden by a door that, once opened, finds a vibrant space with a fire pit centrally placed for the chefs to operate. The 2 hour experience is magical, the Middle Eastern delicacies brought out at pace. And the lamb. The lamb. THE LAMB! There is also a great selection of wines from Lebanon to complement the dining experience.
Go down a long alley to a big wooden door.
Looks like maybe a shed for some old car. No sign. Must be the wrong place. Open the door. A tightly packed little room for reception desk. A somewhat bizarre old cloth covered door is next. Wait. They open to seat you. Suddenly a large packed bustling 2 floor restaurant with fire pit searing and roaring and the beautiful young crowding the bars and tables on dates. The food is deceptively simple but exquisite. The condiments from whipped garlic to raw radishes and sublime middle eastern sauces. The chickpeas and olive oil. Perfectly charred lamb kebobs and chicken. Craziest wine list I've seen anywhere from Mexican and Brazilian bubbly to Bekaa Valley wine where the hashish growers turn to vintners to a South African wine created by a black woman pioneer. The staff and food are a riotous fusion of different cultures leaning towards the Middle East region. The place is not cheap and they'll add a service charge before even the requested 'Tip. The atmosphere is wonderful and fun and the endless little dishes are sublime. The fire pit roars. Best food I've had in DC.
The food here absolutely amazing and flavorful.
Definitely a place to recommend especially if you have a good group of people to go with so that you can try a bit of everything. Their lamb kebab and koobideh have a great texture and are super juicy. Moreover their harissa sauce and Shanklish spread go super well with it. I actually really enjoy their Harissa so much that I often still think about it. My only criticism is that the herb plate is only a small amount of mint, parsley, radish, and scallion but it costs $11. It definitely goes well with the food but to charge $11 those few sprigs feels a bit too much. Otherwise, a fantastic place that I would definitely go back to.
Overpriced
No price shown on the menu. Had the $75 wine pairing. Bill came to $600 for 4 of us. Interesting wines, small amount poured for the price.
