They were corked and I didn't like them. I usually don't ever do that, because I'm nice in real life lol, but they were simply not good. Not cheap, but stupid young (2015-16) which is usually absurd for a high end restaurant unless it's a white wine.
It was actually hugely annoying that I couldn't find a bottle at the mid/just-over-mid price range that was enjoyable, considering they don't do cocktails... if you feature wine, you better ace wine. Next time I went, I just grit my teeth and went for a $90 bottle which annoyed my wife. But it was good.
Food is unreal though.

I agree.
They just make the best cocktails so I naively want them to succeed lol.

I don't know shit about tech, but hopefully this pours gasoline on the fire... it's exciting to see th momentum skip has and I'd love to see the tech sector become a signature for downtown industry here.
