15degrees C — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Looks like a great spot to try out some wine. Looks like their tapas menu is full of yummy treats. Great atmosphere. Looks like good food nearby that you can maybe bring over to their patio? Idk. We didn't actually spend money here.

Didn't actually eat here, just wanted to grab a bottle of wine. That's where it fell short. Definitely overpriced for what they're offering. They were selling an A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir for $26-28, which I know you can buy it for under $20 at Safeway/Albertson's. So that kind of put us off on the other offerings. I'm sure there are very good wines to try there, I just didn't feel comfortable with the potential markup. Again, understand that's the business model when it's a bunch of different wineries under one roof...just is a little sleazy when you sell a pretty popular wine with...

Such a cool vibe on the surface, but ... rude staff, and this weird "locals only" vibe once inside (I was there on a Tuesday). We showed up in full COVID face diaper regalia, as seemed to be the norm on our trip to the central coast (especially in tourist hotbeds), and got greeted with strange glances by the unmasked staff. Gleefully ripped off the masks, but service was nonetheless stone cold. Waitress had a major attitude problem. Also, for such a large bottle selection to go, their in-house selection by the glass is pathetic and not representative of the region they serve -- only one local wine. Pours are overpriced and meager. Tourist prices for a joint that seems to prefer locals only. No thanks....

This visit was on 20 July, 2024. About 1:30pm.

My wife and I were in the mood for a good Charcuterie board and this place came up on our search.

We were greeted by Kim who was amazing. She took our order and then guided us through what we were having, She then offered suggestions and gave us a couple of samples of other things that were not on the board so that we could experience the whole thing.

It was not busy so we had the pleasure of talking with Kim for some time and this made it an overly enjoyable time for us. We will certainly be back the next time we are...
