AI Summary

Carlton's chic wine room pairing stracciatella and duck croquettes with sommelier picks.

Chic, heritage-building wine room with exposed brick and warm lighting; the downstairs cellar room feels intimate while the upstairs main room gets loud and buzzy when full of large groups and functions.

A dedicated sommelier offering wine pairings and blind-tasting flights, half-serves on both food and wine so diners can sample more of the menu, and a working cellar room beneath a 19th-century heritage building.

Heritage sits in the 19th-century building itself rather than a single cuisine lineage; the share-plate menu blends European wine-bar technique (stracciatella, anchovy toast, croquettes) rather than tracing to one culinary tradition.

Reviews split on value at this price point (often $140+ per person for the chef's menu): many call it reasonable for the quality of food and wine guidance, others found a $200+ night steep given inconsistent service.
