Ampersand Oil & Vinegar Tap House — Local services in Moscow

Truly a foodie paradise, I can easily drop a couple hundred here whenever I go. The vinegars and oils are out of this world delicious, with a great diversity of types. Everytime I use one they really punch up the depth of flavor in my meals, whether via marinades, vinaigrettes, dips, or sauces. I also love the different seasoning blends, I just got a cinnamon vanilla one that I'm dying to try in cinnamon rolls. My current favorite oils are wild Rosemary (incredible in focaccia) and pizzaoilio (which I enjoy with pasta or bread dipping) and my most used vinegar is black garlic tamari balsamic which is fantastic in Asian sauces. If you are ever in Moscow and either love to cook, know someone who loves to cook (who needs a gift), or are like me and eat crusty bakery breads dipped in herbed oil/vinegar on the reg, then stop by Ampersand, you won't regret it.

Update: I got a call and was told of the miscommunication about redeeming rewards. Was able to work with Greta and get my order placed and redeem my discount. I appreciate the quick response and assistance to get this cleared up and I look forward to receiving my order.

Fun store with good product but too bad they can't accommodate customer's not in town but really disappointing that I have to come in person to redeem the discount. I unfortunately will not be placing...

I am very unhappy! I called on Dec 23rd to booked a private event on January 5th for my 30th birthday. The event was confirmed on Dec 28th and on Dec 30th I confirmed the menu and asked about how payment works. They just told me the rate with no info on when or how I pay. So I assumed I paided after the event. I get a phone call Jan 3rd two days before my event telling me they are canceling my event for two reasons 1st they did not receive payment and 2nd they have no furniture! How do you not have furniture? And how do you not know that 2 days before a scheduled event. Very unhappy especially since this was supposed to a special event/milestone, I mean you only turn 30 once and now I have no plan, thanks...
