Last night my wife and I stopped by Impromptu to get a glass of wine and a snack before heading off to evening commitments. Hadn't been in before. Cozy little place. Seats maybe 20. Small pellet stove in the corner with a couple small love seats by it. Nice atmosphere. Wine selection was good. Wine list not extensive, but good descriptions of the various wines. A full page of wines from Chile and Argentina, which is cool. Food menu was small as well. We had 3appetizers - empanadas, cheese plate, and pate. Both were good. Empanadas were 2 to a plate, both beef. A little salty, but not greasy and the dough was crisp enough. Pate was very good. Came with the usual - capers, mustard, pickled onions. They served it with some store bought crackers but they were fine. Cheese plate had 2 cheeses, 1 from Argentina and 1 from California and the same crackers. All these appetizers were good, but not outstanding. Service was slow. On the one hand we appreciated that they didn't hover (we were 1 of 4 couples in the place). On the other we felt a little ignored, even when we were clearly trying to get our server's attention. I'd go back and try it if I were in the neighborhood. Not sure I'd go out of my way to visit as I do some other places.
