As far as the food and wine go, Tria is a great wine bar. Skip Vintage; Tria's wine list is far superior. The tomato and basil bruschetta is delicious; I would be happy to sit all day drinking wine and ordering plate after plate of bruschetta if doing so wouldn't break the bank. The sandwiches and salads are quite tasty as well. I particularly like the arugula with beets and goat cheese. However, Tria does have several downsides. Every time I've come for dinner at 5:30 or later, there's been a 30+ minute wait for dinner for two--and they don't take reservations, so the only way to guarantee prompt seating is to arrive before 5:00. Tria is tiny and gets quite crowded, so if you're standing or sitting at the bar, you will be jostled by other customers. Also, don't expect great service. The staff know their wine and cheese, but they are not overly attentive or friendly.
Pros: Bruschetta, cheese, wine list
Cons: Tiny and cramped, inattentive waitstaff
