Kybecca Soft Open

Tonight on a walk downtown we saw light coming from inside the new Kybecca restaurant. Upon further investigation, we found Rebecca Snyder inside explaining how to use the Enomatic machines. $2.50 later and I had my card ready to go, now just to pick one of the sixteen different selections by the glass (oh, and what size fill to get). This picture shows the smart card just to the right of the blackberry. It is sitting on the long bar in the center of the room. A perfect area to meet some new friends over a glass of wine.





Here's the quick lesson -
Talk to someone about getting a card
Load it up with some $$.
Snag glass from the bar
Pick Wine
Insert Card
Press and hold the button until you hear a click
Watch the wonderful pour fill the glass
Find seat
Repeat



We found the polished concrete bar very inviting. The metal bar stool/chairs are very comfortable. The restaurant has much of the original features of the building, from the wood floor, to the tin ceiling. Mixed in between is a great decor of modern lights, clear glass panels, and comfortable seats.

The menu is now a little more rounded, with a selection of appetizers and deserts, but expect this to expand again once the kitchen is up and running.

Kybecca's Semi-Official Opening

[Edit 5/16 - Didn't open this week after all (check their blog), we'll have to wait patiently]

Check out Kybecca's blog post today about their limited opening SOON. ...before getting to try out the new awning, sidewalk, and experience downtown! I wonder if they would consider doing a cheese & cheese event if something happens to the ABC license process?

I've learned in the past not to judge any place by the first say two weeks of operations - remember that this is when everyone from servers to managers are still learning how everything works with a full service. Hopefully there won't be any major stumbling blocks, and everyone likes wine and cheese right? The sidewalk looks great, the awning is pretty impressive, I know their wine selection is great, lets hope that their next adventure is equally successful.

Not sure about the first few weeks, but I did talk with them last night and confirmed that there will be a bottle service arrangement with the store (purchase any bottle at the store, and have it opened at the table for a small surcharge of $10 - much less than ordering a bottle in a restaurant). They are also going to have several dozen wines by the glass. And as with most wine bars, you will also be able to order flights of wine, several sampling sizes at once.
