Staff is very friendly..big shout out to them. hard workers.

Vegetarian options: lots of options for vegetarians!“

“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!“

“Excellent If only once in your life’s journey, place this on your list ❤️‍🔥💕💗‼️“

“I really only drink cold coffee drinks. I tried an amazing Cold Brew coffee with Vikram, their cold brew specialist, at Avatar Coffee Roasters and was absolutely blown away. The texture was unbelievably creamy. The best way I can describe the experience was like enjoying a coffee flavored pastry without the pastry (extra calories). Last time I buy a Starbucks cold coffee drink! I highly recommend the experience.“

“The best Mexican place in Orange County. Food is delicious, friendly environment, great customer service, you can get your favorite meal along with your favorite drink! Simply the best !“

“Fantastic service, great collection of wines and excellent food.

We tried many reds - hardly a dud among them; and I admit I can be fussy.

Great choice of music and the right volume so you could carry on conversations easily.“

“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! The restaurant opens on time and the staff from the reception all the way to the waiters and servers and general manager were all attentive to our needs Customer service is excellent! Food was excellent! And the weather was excellent! This is a great place for anniversaries“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great hidden spot - delicious small plates and fabulous drinks. Debra the bartender is the best! Perfect spot for a break from the crowds!!“

“Great little shady spot for some adult quiet time.“

“Glass of Cab, they have an excellent selection, and a charcuterie board, absolutely fantastic! The staff is super helpful. Did I mention they have beer too?!?!?? On tap! Self serve!!!! Great place“

“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“

“Ordered skirt steak, sea scallops and oysters and all were excellent!“

“Great craft beer selections, great sandwiches, warm sunny patio.“

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

“I only sat here to enjoy food and drink I got elsewhere“

“We made a reservation for our Anniversary celebration and the restaurant went above and beyond to acknowledge our special occasion. Starting with a congrats from the hostess, to the waiter, to a nice card, to a gift card for an app or flatbread, they made our meal and outing special. We have eaten here often, and order pick-up often as well, and it is one of our favorite restaurants for the quality and value. Service and food are always excellent, as was this meal.“

“Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.“

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

“Exelent servís the food is exelent“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The girlfriend and I just moved here and checked this place out as it was close to home and had great reviews.

I had the smash burger and she had the chicken sandwich; both were delicious and the fact that they offer sweet potato fries is a plus. Extra points for the ranch, which was some of the best I’ve had and I never have ranch with anything.

Bartender didn’t have what I wanted but suggested an alternative and we both liked it.

The place is a vibe and definitely worth checking out.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“Always a great time at Colony Wine Merchant! Mike & Sonja do such a great job with everything! 🍷👍🏻“

“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.“

“Good stuff good stuff goo“

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

“In all honesty, my wife and I have never enjoyed Ruth's Chris! My steaks are always undercooked ( because of the plate temperature) and the sides are expensive for the portion size. UNTILL...... we went to the Anaheim location and everything changed!!!! Our waiter was Sebastian and he is an absolute gem . He was so informative and knowledgeable. The food was perfect and tasted more like a home cooked meal ( like the chefs there truly love their craft. We had the Ribeye, the Filet and for sides we got the roasted corn, Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts“

“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!!“

“The place is pretty spacious with a nice, slightly fancy, and clean vibe. Lots of staff and good service. Prices aren’t too bad either. I can’t remember the name of this roll, but it was super tasty! If you come here, don’t miss it. It’s seriously good!“

“Food was fantastic! Had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and it was amazing. The lobster bisque was very good too!! Service was also great.“

“This is the best place to get a prime rib always fresh and this restaurant is open every day �“

“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.“

“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“

“Saw this place on instagram. Since im always going to Disney & look for new fun places to eat before I get to Disneyland. I decided to try this place.

This place is amazing. You can actually see the place taking off & landing. It’s decorate on point. The tables have an activity board perfect to keep kids busy while waiting for the food. The food is amazing cooked to perfection. The 1.99 mimosas are perfect. It’s reasonably price.

The reason I took of a star, because I’m not sure if they were understaff but I waited a good 20min for a table when you could clearly see there were plenty of tables available as I was waiting two more parties came & they had them wait as well. When I finally got seat the server was not to friendly she never checked up on us never asked me if I wanted a refill on my coffee I actually I had to wave her down a few times. The times she would acknowledge me, she would take her sweet time coming over to my table. I wish I would have gotten her name. Girl if you are working as a serve you need to be more friendly smile more.

Would I recommend this place yes but hope you don’t get the same server as I did. Because honestly this place is amazing. I’m not sure if I would come back. Service needs to improve in order for me to go back.“

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