by Rachel K. on I've been to Vinotecca a handful of times now - once on a New Year's eve a few years ago and a few times since to meet friends before going out, each time just grabbing one glass of wine then leaving. I finally had the chance to meet some friends up on Thursday night and sample some of their small plates. Happy hour is 4-6pm everyday, and also 4-6 and 9-close on Thursdays. I have to say that the whole half off thing was nice. Our total bill with 4 small plates and 8 glasses of wine was $68. I probably would have cried a bit had we spent $136 on what we ordered. Wine was good. I've tried their selection of Michigan wines before and this time went for a Bordeaux blend and a Garnacha. Both glasses were $13 and $10, respectively, before the whole half off thing. Our selection of small plates were tasty - I ordered a carpachio and my friends tried the calamari, shrimp, and chicken lettuce wraps. I had a good time catching up with friends and love the ambiance of Vinotecca. We met up right at 4 pm and stayed a bit past 6, and while the restaurant was near empty at 4, there was a bit of a wait for a seat around 5. My only gripe was that they only had 1 bartender working, and she was also taking everyone's orders at all of the tables. There was a point in which we had all finished our 1st glasses of wine and sat at the table for a good 15 minutes before she was even able to stop by -- why they didn't have anyone else helping her out is beyond me.
by Alexandra L. on I hadn't been to Middlesex in a bit before last night - and it is exactly what I remember: good music, odd mix of people in the crowd, decent drinks, and an incredible space. I love the constantly changing layout, allowing lots of room for dancing, mingling, etc - but I am going to have to say there is something not quite right - all the elements are there for an incredible bar/lounge but it doesn't quite come together. Still a good time is always had @ Middlesex with a good group of friends.
