The editorial take
The wine program is the reason to come: more than 40 wines by the glass and 200 by the bottle, spanning sparkling, white, red, rosé, skin-contact, dessert, and fortified styles across many regions. A Coravin system opens premium bottles by the glass, including Barolo, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Saint-Julien. The monthly three-glass flight costs $65. Cocktails, beer, spirits, and two non-alcoholic drinks round out the list. The project comes from Le Bernardin sommelier Aldo Sohm, with food overseen by Eric Ripert.
- What should I order?
- Start with the three-glass flight at $65 if you want range, or the Grüner Veltliner, Sohm & Kracher 'Lion' Weinviertel '25 at $16 for a single by-the-glass white. For a premium pour, the Coravin list includes Barolo, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Saint-Julien; Champagne Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV is $140 by the glass.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want to explore by the glass rather than commit to a bottle, and anyone who values German and Austrian wines alongside Burgundy and Champagne. The named cocktails and spirits list give non-wine drinkers a reason to sit down.
- When should I go?
- The monthly flight program changes, so a visit timed to a new flight gives a different three-glass set.
- What should I expect to spend?
- By-the-glass wines run $15 to $100, with most between $16 and $30. Bottles run $60 to $11,000. Cocktails are $20-$22, beer $10-$25, spirits $20-$40, and non-alcoholic drinks $12-$15.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A Coravin system makes premium bottles available by the glass, including Barolo, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Saint-Julien — a format that lets a single glass reach wines usually sold only as bottles. The list is credited to Le Bernardin sommelier Aldo Sohm, with food overseen by Eric Ripert.
