Aldo Sohm Wine Bar

I was ecstatic to give this a visit on our trip to the big apple- the end result was just alright. We didn’t have a reservation, and we’re seated at our choosing (the bar) Kevin was attentive, and helpful with which wine to navigate next with. Four stars as -the aracini was a bit dry, needs more sauce or perhaps over cooked slightly. The plate needed a little finish wipe (nothing to cry over), the bursted tomatoes were a highlight of this dish with the pesto -truffle pasta lacked sauce too, and not much flavor, another dish that was just ok -short rib was spot on of the three, the mushrooms were delicate and delightful; the short rib pulled apart without tugging, too very little to no fatty pieces present -a plus note, all dishes had beautiful presentation to them -our neighbors had the tower, which was a unique way of cheese + charcuterie Overall, experience was pretty good, wine list was plenty to offer, especially when there’s wine you don’t normally get to try, atmosphere was cozy. I would absolutely come here for a glass with a friend or book. Wanted to try the wine flight, ran out of time.

Casual wine bar menu and vibe especially outside and more intimate, mid-century modern vibes inside. The inside space wasn't too big. There's a wide variety of wines you can select from with a bottle of wine ranging from 60-400+. Small plates are good. We got their 3 cheeses which came with jams and mini baguettes. Their bruschetta was unique and there cherry tomatoes very flavorful. Truffle fries were good as well. I had to wait a good 45 mins. for a seat in the evening.

Beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and delicious food. Whole roasted cauliflower was cooked to a little less than al dente with a nice char and the chimichurri on top was a great pop to add to the mild taste of cauliflower. Burrata and mozzarella was good but served chilled which I think detracts from the flavor and creaminess. Bacon tarte was absolutely delicious. Crust was thin and crispy and bechamel sauce was mild but had a slight tang which was a nice offset to the rich bacon. Chilled red wine flight was perfect for a lunchtime. They have a linch special which they have listed on a type of rolling board that they drag around to the table before ordering. I thought this really detracted from the otherwise beautiful ambiance of the restaurant.

Was very much looking forward to spend an afternoon here but unfortunately the experience was a total disappointment. I read that this is one of the best wine bar in nyc… perhaps I came at the wrong time. If they don’t intend to serve customers between 3-4pm perhaps they should close the restaurant. I am from hospitality industry - I know how hard we all work and appreciate it more when I go out. I have no words for the service today. The glass of champagne was very lovely but that’s about it I can say about my experience. Service was terrible - they made me feel very unwelcome as if they are doing me a favor by giving me a table to have a glass of wine. The arancini is lukewarm, tasteless and bland- and they never checked to see whether I was ok with the food. A great wine list should be accompany but great people and great food.

My favorite wine bar in the city! Great selection of wines by the glass, and modern, elegant digs. Rare place that’s good for apres work, and just as well for date night or hanging out with friends. Wine aficionados will appreciate the silverware, the pours, the large format bottles, etc. (but the new glasses aren’t nearly as nice as the older ones.. if you had to pick an imperfection!)
