GRNoir Wine & Jazz
Upon entrance there was no one at the door 🚪 so I began looking for a seat.
A taller man came up to me, asking how many. Just one I said and he told me to sit at the bar.
I had come to sit, drink wine, think and write and wanted a table in a corner. Not allowed if you don't have a party to fill the table apparently.
I ordered my flight but the live jazz is playing and it's hard to hear the man.
The flight arrives and the man explains the wines and where they are from, but I can't hear him, due to the music.
The wines were good and full of flavor. It would have been nice to have more information about them before drinking them but there wasn't. The wine itself I would order again, it was very good.
The space is on the small side and for a 3-4 piece band the sound is blaring.
Half way through my two hour stay I ordered the brisket sliders (pictured). They come out and they are not very hot, merely a little warm.
They were average. The meat didn't have any distinct flavor, the bbq sauce was soft in flavor, and the texture of the meat left something to be desired. Most of my slices were 80% fat 10% burnt (not flavored burnt) and 10% meat. I don't plan on ordering them again -- at $13 for them I had higher expectations.
At the end of the night I got my check and discovered there is a $10 jazz fee. I never saw that posted online anywhere or any notices before entering. I like to know what my costs are when I'm at a restaurant.
It seems like a fine place for a date if you can be seated somewhere further away from the band.

Pekich Park
It's a nice park to hang out on. Often people avoid it due to the homeless and disenfranchised that hang here. But it's really a swell park.
