Loved the food, the location and the staff. Parking is easy to find here, and their indoor and outdoor seating is very comfortable. The wine list was extensive as was the cheese list.Looking forward to returning.Update 3/9/19:Visited on a Friday night. They currently have fondue Fridays, which we tried. The fondue takes approximately 20-25 minutes, which we were told prior to ordering. The cheese itself was delicious, although it did contain the brie cheese rind which some at our table did not enjoy. It was served with a handful of baby carrots, a little bread, mandolined Granny Smith apple and delicious seasoned and roasted fingerling potatoes. While the combination was warm, gooey and tasty, there was much of the rye bread bowl left. I feel this fondue could have been much improved by hollowing out the serving bread bowl much more, and by serving with a couple more items such as cornichons or cauliflower.Up next was the Gorgonzola bacon flatbed. This has been, and continues to be, my favorite item thus far on the menu. The flatbed is crispy, the onions and bacon are rendered and cooked well and its just the perfect amount of Gorgonzola.This was my first time trying the short run mac and cheese and I was not impressed. The short rib was dry and the Mac was overly cooked to the point of also being dried out and crispy.

We ate lunch here during the week. Atmosphere was great! They have a storefront and deli with seating as you first walk in and a small dining room in the back. You can order small plates from their menu or just try their wine and cheese. I had to try the brie and fig sandwich, it was delicious! Definitely will be back to try some cheeses.

This place MUST be tried. That staff is outstanding and the food is awesome. I would call it pub fare, but not simple. The cheese and wines are phenomenal.

Nice place to grab a table or sit at their bar area for some wine and cheese. The food is more on the expensive place if you are just looking for a quick bite. They have their cheeses and other things for sale to take home with you as well. They also do have some beer for the beer lovers like me.

This shop is a pleasantly surprising addition to Middletown, which is otherwise riddled with chain restaurants. The front is more of a typical shop while the back contains the restaurant portion along with outside dining during warmer weather months. It is perfect for a small and simple wine and cheese dining but there are options to order larger meals. I personally recommend the berry salad and the mushroom and goat cheese flatbread.

A great little Shop with some awesome cheese and oils for your dining needs. If you have questions about the cheese, dont be afraid to ask Chris behind the counter. He is very knowledgeable about the stuff he sells.

Great little find in a New shopping center in Middletown. An amazing cheese selection, and a wonderful sit down intimate restaurant. The front of the store has some rustic tables and a small specialty shop,with oils, cheeses, olives, etc. The kitchen is open and in the middle of the building separating it from the intimate tables and seating in the back for diners. Food was amazing. I had a panini style sandwich, served with sun chips on the side, that was the best I had ever had. My son had a grilled cheese that was delicious. My mother chose from the savory crepe options. Serving sizes were generous, 2 of us left with half of our meal in a to go box!! Extensive wine menu with pairing suggestions. Friendly staff, including the owner who joked with us as if we were family from the minute we stepped in the door. Highly recommend this place and it will become a favorite for date nights or cozy lunches with friends.

I walked in to check it out with my 2 older boys. The entire staff didnt even greet us. I was going to buy some of the balsamic vinegar but I didnt because they were so rude. I walked out several minutes and will never return!!!
