My default happy hour spot!. Tria is my default happy hour spot! There is a great selection wines, cheeses and bruschetta bites! My favorite is the wild mushroom fontina, I have even converted non mushroom eaters with this tasty morsel. The goat cheese and basil is a great choice as well. The sandwiches and salads are a nice size and always delicious. The service is always quick and friendly, and even though there are limited number of seats, I never feel rushed to guzzle down the last drops of my wine and leave, if I am having an involved conversation with my friends, which is a huge plus in my book!

It does tend to get loud as the place fills up, but the food and wine keeps me coming back time and time again.

Eh, too louge-y. I suppose early 20 something yuppies or cougars would like this place for a happy hour, but not I. I wanted to check it out because I heard it had a great beer selection. The selection was pretty good, I suppose, but everything else was sub par IMO. It's about 60 square feet and was jam packed during my visit. Too loud to talk. The food (a processed meat sandwich) was pretty bad. Lathered in a pepper-onion sauce. Our server was nice. My one and only visit.

Better Choices Cheaper. A decent selection of wines although lacking compared to the more extensive lists available in the city. The lack of a proper wine preservation system keeps them secondary to the likes of Vintage and Panorama which feature cruvinet systems. If you are just getting started with wines it?s a nice place to go to be ?seen? but is not serious about its wine selection for the more experienced Oenophiles. Prepare to be jostled quite a bit by unruly guests and surly employees

Great food, pretentious service. We went there Sunday night with some friends. The hostess was friendly, situated us at the bar until a table opened up and seated us promptly. The food and wine were terrific, especially the salads. The service was just terrible though. The waitress was overly pretentious, slow, intrusive and probably one of the worst I have ever experienced. We did receive our food as ordered, so there is one plus for her. She just seemed very awkward and made us all very uncomfortable. And we are friendly easy going people! I have been told they hire based on wine knowledge-well, she did not offer nor share any of this with us and she did not seem to have any experience as a wait person. Maybe they should look for skilled waiters first and hire a wine steward to chat up the wine selection. Just a thought.

Sunday School is the Best. Be sure to check out Tria's Sunday School for great half priced wine, cheese and beer. Tria's selections of wines and are impressive and worth checking out if you like variety. The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is fun. Sunday School has quickly become a weekly tradition.
