Wine bar on Pușkin, with a collection everyone praises and a service in decline
A bottle picked from the collection, with a recommendation from someone who knows the wines
Worth it for the wine collection, which even the dissatisfied guests praise. Do not count on attention at the table: several recent reviews fault exactly that.
Wine bar on Pușkin street, open from midday into the evening, with a terrace. The wine collection is the part everyone praises, including the guests unhappy about something else. A regular says they found here the wine they consider the best in town, Harap Alb, with Roșu Împărat second, and adds that the people there know a great deal about wine and how to drink it. Another guest recounts that their preferences were listened to and exactly the right wine was suggested. The place is also used for working, over a coffee. Worth knowing: several recent reviews describe a change of owners and a decline across the board. A guest who had previously given five stars dropped to two, says the wines are still there but the care is gone, and complains directly that the place is used for private parties mixed in with paying guests. Another review faults the few wines by the glass, seven or eight, served in large, unsuitable glasses, the same glass for red and white, with no tasting measures, and staff who feel like they are doing you a favour. The venue website is now credo.wine, although Google still lists it as Embargo.

“Tldr; few wine options and ignorant staff. First of all, there are very few options of wine not in a bottle (7-8 if I remember right), which are offered only in big glasses and not even in wine specific ones: same glass given for a red and white wine. No actual tasting sizes offered. The staff feels like are doing you a favor and like their salary is decreased with the number o…”
“Changes of owners serious decrease on all dimensions. Wines are still there, but affection is gone. Below is my previous rating with all 5 stars, now only two and out of respect for the wine. Treat your guests well, don't use your businesse for your private parties or at least do not mix them with the guests who come to spent their money in your place letting them without atten…”
“Big collection of different wines. The service listened to our preferences and offered us the perfect wine which fully fitted our expectations. At the end service was not so attentive wasn't coming and asking if everything ok or putting more wine once it was finished that's why minus 1 point. Still we will come back to this place and know that guys will do it better next time”
