Bar Diane

“I had a fantastic experience at this little hideaway. I sat in the garden behind the restaurant on a hot summer day and it was an oasis. Excellent wine selection. I order 4 half glasses and everything paired perfectly with the food. I came here on Sunday ($2 per oyster) and the wines were excellent and the food surprisingly good. MUST GET: - oyster with champagne from romaine guiborat. - hamachi crudo - roasted maitake paired with local orange (Buona Notte mortadella from Columbia George in Washington). Maitake was served with pinenut and rice crumble, which was delightful. I put the sauce with hamachi crudo in the roasted maitake and it elevated the taste. It can use a bit more balsamic vignegrette or lemon juice to elevate the mushroom taste even more. - dessert wine (2021 romaine ogereau, chenin blanc) was delightful. Very balanced. Subtle sweetness with perfect balance of citrus notes. A bit of apricot on the nose. A fine ending to the delightful dinner. Solid: Spaghetti with morel. Paired with 2023 Bruno verdi from oltrepo pavese Italy. I really liked the pecorino cheese that tempered the salty-ness of the spaghetti. I think the food would be better with a bit less oil. The spaghetti almost reminded me of the Asian noodles vs traditional spaghetti.”

“Such a nice little place tucked away from a busy street: Came here on a weekday for dinner while in town. Was impressed by its wine selection. The dishes here were not big in portions but perfect to share. The cheese platter was nice, it came with a soft cheese like Brie and a hard cheese. The mussels were also amazing. The soup it came with tasted so good that we finished an entire baguette dipping in it 😂 Would definitely visit here again.”

“Came here on a weekend night to catch up with a friend and read. We got very distracted by the delicious food options and ordered almost everything on the short menu. Every single dish was phenomenal and provided such a unique set of flavors. Really enjoyed the carrots and whipped feta with chili oil crunch! The milkbun was also so soft and warm and perfect to dip the whipped feta in. The wines were also delicious. To tie everything together, the ambience was great for a summer patio hang out. The alleyway does reverberate sound so it can get a little noisy. Great place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine with a small group of friends or solo dine and catch up on a good book!”

“Stopped by Bar Diane on a Sunday and absolutely loved it. We had the $2 oyster special, which were fresh and delicious, along with some tinned fish that paired perfectly with our sparkling wine. Sundays are a great deal here with 20% off sparkling wines, making it even better. Cozy vibe, great bites, and excellent value — definitely a spot worth checking out.”

“I went for happy hour with a friend and it was great! From my first initial viewing of the menu it looked like there were 2-3 options for each type of wine. Red, orange and white to put it simply! I had the orange Georgian wine and it was a fantastic, citrusy experience! The food like the oysters, steak, salad and fries were beautifully displayed, high quality ingredients! It is hard to find for first timers like myself. Atmosphere was quiet when arriving at 430pm during the week but picked up around 6-630pm when my friend and I were leaving”
