“Zin is a favorite go-to spot of ours. They rarely disappoint. We sat at the bar this time, and Jorge and Mary both served us. The jovial atmosphere was great fun and the food was excellent. There's a new kitchen staff, but no need to worry - they were great. The tuna tartare was fantastic and the burger was perfect. Don't get me going on the fries... their French fries are straight up amazing. Another good night was had at our neighborhood hot spot!“

“My waiter was good and friendly. I sat in covered patio. I ordered a spring salad with shrimp. blackberries, grapefruit, candied pecans, arugula and berry vinaigrette and a side of Mac n cheese. The salad was missing the pecans but I forgot until I left, I thought something was missing. However, the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The ratio of shrimp to half portion was good. Mac N Cheese was ok. Noodles were undercooked and some still hard/crunchy edges and cheese sauce was just average and a bit gritty/thick. However, I was not expecting my meal to be served with plastic wrapped plastic utensils. a take home box for salad and a take home container for dining in. That was disappointing. the table of eight next to me was a bit shocked too to get their meals in to go cardboard containers.“

“I totally enjoy the skill of all the wait staff, their ability to inform, enjoy conversation, and do the run down on what the band is like. Owners Tom & Karen are gregarious, fun, interesting people and provide GREAT talented local musicians. The music scene in Wauconda, Illinois is 10 out of ten...bar hopping encouraged. French Martini with Chambourg, an 11 and one drink, my limit...usually. Dancing...FUN! Especially when Karen agrees. Lol. And occasionally, or perhaps too often singing back up to Motown song fulfills my fantasy to be a Temptation, a Top, Little Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell. And yes, the Jackson 5. But there's no mountain higher than backup to a Supremes song, except for a Diana song, or Tina is Simply The Best! But Diana's he PEAK, & so is STRAWBERRY MOON. CHECK IT OUT. WAKANDA FOREVER, on Main Street“

Spring Beach Inn Bar • $
189 Northwest Hwy, Cary - 6.98 miles

“The Spring Beach Inn is the perfect little hole-in-the-wall gem! From the moment we walked in, the friendly vibes were unbeatable. The bartender, who we later learned was the owner’s daughter, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The owner himself was sitting at the bar—a charming older gentleman with a knack for cracking funny jokes that had the whole place laughing.

The patrons were just as warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. They even gave us a free shot of Malört to celebrate our first visit—such a fun and unique touch! Plus, the free popcorn was not only delicious but added to the cozy, laid-back atmosphere.

The Spring Beach Inn feels like one of those special places where everyone knows your name (or will soon). We can’t wait to come back!“

“You know growing up i loved watching the TV Show 'Cheers'. The theme song says something about 'a place where everyone knows your name'... well that describes Bliss Wine Lounge for sure. No, they aren't a big bar like in Cheers, they are a local wine bar with a wide variety of wines for every budget. And the owner, Alex takes the time to connect with each of the patrons and quick to make a recommendation of a wine you will like. It's not fancy but you will feel welcome for sure. They will have live music from time to time and if you join the Wine Club you will get to experience a variety of unique wines that you wont find at the big wine stores. My wife and I love this place.“
