Overwhelming wine selectionSiips

My biggest complaint about Siips is the wine selection can be too overwhelming. However, they do have excellent selections. The food menu is quite large, but some apps/entrees simply aren't good.

I don't recommend the brushetta for one.

I personally prefer Enoteca (also on the downtown mall) just because I feel it is easier to select wine and parings (food) there and I prefer the atmosphere a little more.
