Basically excellent food and wine in one of the coziest restaurants. We booked for a Saturday evening and were quite early (arrived 2020 while our reservation was for 2100), but still we had a warm welcome and they worked out a solution for us (2 persons). Two starters: the salad with artichokes and avocado was delicious and so were the fried shrimps (on the spicy side). My gf had as a main the sea bass and I had the beef tenderloin, which was perfectly cooked, tender and tasty. Excellent choices of wine obviously, we went by the glass, my gf for a Provence rose and I for a red Bordeaux, both very high quality. Reservation recommended, especially during the busy days like Friday and Saturday evening. Have been there many times already and seems that I keep going back! Highly recommended!

Amazing place. We were there for my wife's birthday and the staff were extremely accommodating and attentive. The wine selection is very good, amd the food is well prepared. The waitress went over and beyond to meet our needs. I highly recommend the place to anyone who likes good wine and food.

During our 4 days in Bucharest, we explored 4 different wine bars, not excessive if you are wine enthusiasts, and the best overall experience was The Tasting Room, hands down! In 3 of the 4 the sommeliers were knowledgeable. But we were impressed by Alexandra's expert knowledge and willingness to open fresh bottles for us and on the mark recommendations per our wishes. If ever in Bucharest looking for a wine bar with excellent food, not just snacks, The Tasting Room is a not-to-miss place. Bonus: it is away from tourist spots, a calm, peaceful locale.

A charming local spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The place strikes a perfect balance between casual and refined, making it ideal for a relaxed evening with friends. What really stood out, beyond the cozy setting, was the friendly and attentive service. Our server was pleasant, helpful with recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling.

This is hands down the best restaurant in Bucharest. 1. Food is exquisite - from the spicy shrimp to the ox cheeks, the tuna tartare or the duck confit, the pasta or the salads, everything is cooked to perfection and the produce is top notch. 2. Service is prompt and attentive - special shout out to Alexandra and Bianca who are absolutely amazing. 3. The wine list is world class. An insider tip: you can buy any wine bottle that’s not on the menu from the restaurant wine store around the corner (Ethic Wine), and they’ll serve it to you for a menial $7 corkage fee. Don’t miss this hidden gem, I promise you won’t regret it!
