Ayza Wine and Chocolate Bar - it's not regular wine bar

This is the type of place that you keep going and going. The first time I was there the owner was walking aournd and stopped at our table to ask how our food wats etc. And then all the rest of the staff were great as well -- just all around nice and engaging without being intrusive. Then I came back a few days later for lunch and my waitress remembered me which was awesome. The manager was different but he was really nice too, and stopped to talk to us again. Also, lunch has a great pre fixe menu that gives you a soup or app and a mini panini for a great price. Third time I went back the first manager was there and he remembered me even though it had been a while.It was so nice to find a place where you really feel like a regular and they actually remember you like one too. Such a different from most wine bars in New York that are just pricey and snobby. Now I have lunch there as often as I can -- I can't get enough of it
