Bargains, too. The Winehouse Bar and Bistro (née The Winehouse in Ghent) recently re-opened at its new “uptown Ghent” address (formerly Zio’s) and took its half-price Sunday entrees along for the move (drink specials, too, including half-price bottles Tuesdays).

Claret-colored walls mellow the handsome, hard surfaces in this larger home, where brick-framed booths seem like fireplace hearths. Chef Adam Cleveland offers his dinner menu of small plates and “international comfort food” entrees (Thai shrimp curry, aged beef filet), adding lunch and Sunday brunch.

With a 2,000-count wine vault, owner Jennifer Smith expanded selections, maintaining her emphasis on small producers, and there’s a private tasting room available. Meeting, anyone?
