Simplicity Wine Bar & Cafe
After five years managing a retail store, Ana realized she wanted to sell something else entirely: food. So she enrolled in culinary school, where she first honed the skills she now displays at Simplicity Wine Bar & Cafe. Her tapas range from spicy veggie empanadas served with pineapple-mango aioli to cayenne-spiced chocolate cupcakes. With numerous organic varietals to boot, a frequently updated selection of wine by the glass and bottle complements Ana's cuisine and confections.
When eyes aren't glued to Ana's artfully plated dishes, they're probably busy taking in Simplicity's nightly entertainment. The lineup includes plenty of café staples, such as poetry nights, open mics, and Sunday afternoon concerts by award-winning guitarist Jorge Arévalo Mateus. On weekends, live DJs convert the bar into a dancehall by spinning classic reggae and hip-hop tunes.
Reviews
The ambiance was great and the furniture was strategically placed to create an open yet intimate feel.
Vanity Hair Studio, Yelp, 6/5/13
The service, the wine, the open mic host... Not a single complaint. I felt like I was home. The owners made me feel comfortable

“Pros: The food was great (sandwiches and appetizer and drinks and desserts), the owners and relatives were nice, very warm and knowledgeable. The space was very pretty. Great place for friends to go, or dates Cons: We sat at the benches because I didn't feel comfortable leaving my back open to the outside so late at night. It was also VERY hot and the doors/windows being open did not help. Two good 14,000 BTU fans would be awesome. It also took a very long time for the food to come out. Maybe 20-25 min for each part of the meal even though we ordered everything at once. I think only 1 person was cooking, but we were also the only customers there. I loved the place regardless. I'll be back.”
