“Went to Bandera on my birthday which was March 15 ,2024 and I had the Filet Minion with broccoli and mash potatoes, Also a glass of refreshing white champagne. Then for dessert I had a delicious chocolate dessert, with whip cream and a leaf mint on it . Tasted like it had a little alcohol in it . Our waiter was very nice , sweet , always asking if our meal was good and how everything is going. I forgot the waiters name but he’s very tall , about 6’6 .“

“This was our 1st time visiting this location... it was awesome!!! Same great food, great vibe (lots of pretty people at the bar) and service was awesome!!! The manager came up to us letting us know our food would be delayed for a bit... but we didn't even notice the delay... the service is outstanding. I love the Macho salad... it is so d'lish. Great menu, distinguished wine list and a super hot place for a meal. We will go back for sure!!!“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you so much to the staff for making our anniversary day special!

“Main Street Wine Company in Huntington Beach is a must-visit for wine lovers! Their curated selection of wines, cozy atmosphere, and knowledgeable staff make it the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach. As a local realtor, I always recommend it to clients looking to explore the best of Huntington Beach living. It’s places like this that showcase the laid-back yet upscale vibe of our community. Thinking of making Huntington Beach your home? Let me help you find a place where you can enjoy gems like this every day!“

“I literally stumbled in to WIP or waiting for some service on my car. I feel fortunate to have found this perfect spot. Obviously more than a coffee joint - it’s smart, stylish and engagingly current. Populated by an intriguing, vibrant and smart crowd.“

“The wine selection, cocktails, food, and atmosphere at this establishment are all great! Highly recommend! Definitely a new hotspot to enjoy the Huntington Beach area right next to the beach and lively downtown.“

“This spot has been here for 15 years! I’m still shocked. My wife and I popped in for a drink on a lazy Sunday. I had the Hazy, which was delicious, and she had Rose. It’s a cool spot. We’ll be coming come back to enjoy their food next.“

“stopped here 2 days ago at my arrival to john wayne and again when leaving today. Having a wine place at the airport is amazing, coming from someone who lives in wine country. also great vegetarian options. cannot wait to come back to OC to fly into john wayne and stop here. Staff is very friendly..big shout out to them. hard workers.

Vegetarian options: lots of options for vegetarians!“

“This place is awesome, one of the only wine bars I’ve seen in SoCal that has an emphasis on natural wines and skin-contact wines. Our server was amazing, she had a ton of recommendations and was super friendly! The tinned fish plate was also bomb they have great sardines“

“Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.“

“Let me start by saying I love filemignon... so at date night, I start my search at filemignon near me, depending where I am at that time... this place is definitely a diamond in the rough 8 oz. Filet Mignon for $38!!! The mashed potatoes could have been more buttery or flavorful in some other way., but the truffle Mac and cheese was fantastic! I was also happy that they had Caymus by the glass, which I cannot get pretty many places. The icing on the cake was my wife had the Chilean sea bass and compared it to mexico's & demolished the whole plate (which is rare)!!! Also, the Tar Tar was epic with a little spice (ask for more won tons).
Service is great and surprisingly, there was many sitting available. We'll definitely be back.“

“We had an awesome time there. The bartender was great! She really made us feel at home.“

“My new favorite Happy Hour place in Laguna Beach.Great deal! Excellent price for good quality wines plus discounted food menu. Pizza of the day is half off during HH. Artisan wood fired pizzas are fabulous. Extensive wine list you won’t find in any other pizza place. Great place for larger parties.“

“Season's 52 never disappoints. We drive up from San Diego to meet our friends here on special occasions. The food is wonderful and plentiful. The service is top-notch and all the staff are accommodating. Wonderful dining experience. The food is not overly salted, like some restaurants. Can't wait for our next special event at Season's 52.“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“The food was delicious every bite of it 👍😄🥰“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

“Alas, a local place with unique charm, expert staff and a creative menu. We will be back often.“

“Fabulous dinner and ambiance plus the he most delicious Rocklet!!!“

“The mazemen is really good, especially the Saitama one and for any of the mazemen it’s so cute that they give you a small scoop of rice after you finish your noodles to finish up the leftover sauce in the bowl. The shop runs on the smaller side, but still has decent amount of seating, including outdoor seating.“

“The food & service were great“

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Really nice place hometown. Feel clean restrooms and the bartenders are amazing. No matter which shift I have went in on the still had really good service and treated like they were really appreciative to have my business. Keep up the good work. Highly recommended

Parking: Lots of lots of parking easily accessible“

“We celebrated our 10yr anniversary and everything was perfect! We were greeted by the hostess with a big smile and our waitress was very attentive. The food was excellent! We had the beef carpaccio, seared tuna, prosciutto pizza, seafood pasta, chicken parmigiana, and the kids had their butter pasta. The Chef brought out a dessert platter for us and we had an awesome time! 10 stars!“

“Good stuff good stuff goo“

“Amazing Valentine’s weekend dinner! Six courses made for a most Indulgent Aphrodisiac’s menu created by Chef Tony. The plating was exquisite, service very attentive, and relatively low-carb, very copicetic with my diabetic precautions. The French Chardonnay we had enjoyed was lovely, paired well particularly with the scallop crudo, oyster and lobster dishes. It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with Yassmin, the co-owner and wife of Chef Tony. We are planning to dine here again, next time for The restaurant’s High Tea, which is offered on Sunday afternoons.“

“Absolutely Awesome!! This location has a great atmosphere and the employees are very attentive and friendly. The food came out fast, hot and fresh!! AND they are open 7 days per week !!! EVERYDAY!!“

“My husband and I absolutely loved it. great atmosphere, friendly people and the bartenders are wonderful. candy is beyond sweet she made me feel entirely welcome as if i knew her for years. Definately will be coming back.“

“We were visiting Laguna over the weekend and stopped by Rye Goods on Saturday, and then couldn't not come back again Sunday. All of their offerings are SO GOOD. I had the morning sugar latte, iced, with oatmilk, and it was one of the easiest lattes to drink. It wasn't overly sugary, as the name might indicate, and the oatmilk didn't have a strong presence like some brands tend to do. Super easy drinker. We also had a burrito, avocado toast, and a handful of pastries. The avo toast was hearty and the bread was super soft and meant for this type of meal. We came around 8-9am both days and didn't have a problem with lines, seating or service. Those working were super personable and helpful. I wish I lived here so I could go to this place more often.“

“We always enjoy stopping by Love being a member 🍷 This Sunday we enjoy wine tasting and brought some Rose and Sauvignon Blanc Great staff“

“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back“

“We always eat here before the theatre. Food is great, service is great, and very convenient. I like dining and then walking over to the theatre.“

“By far the BEST Burger & Fries I have had in years. Service was super friendly and accommodating to substitutions and questions. Never felt rushed, food was hot and delicious. Had out of town guests and without planning to ended up here for lunch. What a nice surprise this place was. Will be back soon!“

“The most incredible bar inside a grocery store I have ever been to. This place has a rotating selection of 30 beers and a spacious seating area. The service was great and all the beers were from the area/west coast, I believe. I can't wait to go back and see what they have on tap next time.“

“Me gustó mucho el servicio atendieron rápido, personal amable y sirvieron muy rápido y sobre todo la comida muy rica thanks.“

“Lip smacking gourmet meals paired with easily the best Espresso martini in town in a classic and regal style that is quite a refined contrast from the more boisterous joints in the neighborhood; sophisticated and smooth, would highly recommend.“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“For a hotel restaurant and bar. It's done very well. Moving on.

The staff is extremely nice and professional. The options are great for quick bites, lunch or dinner.

The food tastes fresh. The drinks are great.

Upon walking up to the bar area I was greeted immediately. Staff immediately gave me a menu. And mentioned a special that day. They also let me know that there was a happy hour. Happy hour!? Can't go wrong there can we lol.

I've had the club sandwich, wings and burger.

Club sandwich. Pretty much your average club sandwich. However the ingredients are fresh. Yes it's processed turkey slices. But that's ok. They're good quality ones at that. And they don't skimp. It was a very large well proportioned sandwich.

Wings. Alright these are the star of the show.
Simple but done right. You know when you just want something good? And everywhere just over does it trying to be different? Not these. Simple hot wings cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Burger.
Ok this is actually insanely good with the bacon.
And their fries are nice and crispy tasty freshness.

So would I recommend this place? Most definitely.
And if you're staying here. No need to go off site for food. The food here is legit.

Enjoy!“

“I drive 2 hours on Saturday just to come to this amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is so elegant, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite . I can guarantee that the nasty comments are from commies. Please visit this amazing restaurant and decide for yourself.“

“Tried calling to increase number from 2 to 4. Voicemail not set up. Once open I called and talked with someone about going from 2 to 4. Couldn't find my reservation. Said she'd leave a note. Arrived to find no note left and our original reservation was in system...for 2. Thank goodness not busy. And that $50 per person cancellation fee??? Wow I know 3 couples who've quit going at all. What about illness?“
