Generally underwhelmed. The food was decent, just had too high of expectations when going. The wine was tasty. Service was fine.
Wonderful experience. Love the food, the ambiance, we listen to some guitar player and had a great service our table was set among barrels of wine and our server Ian was really knowledgable about the wines . We will definitely recomended to friends and we are looking forward to come again.
I visit this place occasionally since they accept the Passport card. Without the Passport, it's just too expensive for a date night or hanging with friends.
Glass of wine average is $10 so that's not horrible. There are only two gluten free items but both are delicious.
The GF salad is amazing, but at $12 it should be like a mini meal and it's not. It is a light appetizer to share with one other person but just as it's getting really tasty, it's gone.
The scallops, while not GF due to some of the sauces, are fantastic. It came with pork belly (yuck) but my buddy gobbled it up and said it was fantastic. The scallops are barely cooked but seared to perfection. I couldn't eat an entire plate of them, but sharing that dish was good. I just think $34 for 5 scallops and some pork fat is on the high end. It was very fancy and artistic but I think it was about $10 too high and I could do without the pork belly with my scallops.
The chefs paella was also delicious. The waiter said it would have muscles, shrimp, and scallops, but it was mostly just shrimp and 2 muscles. It was very tasty but at $34 also over priced.
The passport gives one meal free so two of us for dinner, one glass of wine, one salad shared, two entrees shared total before passport was over $90 before tip for two. After passport, $76 with an 18% tip bassed on the original $90.00.
Fun atmosphere, nice wait staff, good food. A good place in my rotation of eateries once in a while.
Excellent! I loved being able to order a half glass of wine. I'm a lightweight but that way, I could still enjoy it :) Our paella and shrimp were yummy and the flourless chocolate cake was a perfect thing to top off our meal! I would love to go back!
Great place!! They have an awesome wine club membership that is perfect for locals (monthly benefits at the restaurant). Knowledgeable staff and great wines!! Stop by and you will not be disappointed. Warning that occasionally you should come in ready to be patient, slow down and enjoy the wine :)
