Stunning food, service and music. Best we have tried in a very long time! The pork and chicken and definable smoke rings and was the most tender ever. Will definitely come back! Thank you! read more

Went with my friends last night to the 101 Wine Press in Prunedale for an early dinner before heading to our fun evening in Monterey. We decided to order the Tri Tip Family Meal which clearly states on menu comes with 4 sides & bread. The waitress showed us the list of sides we could choose. We choose two salads, mac n cheese, & pasta salad. My friends ordered a beer each while we waited. The food came out fairly quick & everything was pretty good except, my friends were still waiting on their beers. When we got the bill we noticed that it was higher than what was priced on the menu by $4. When we inquired was told salad sides were $1 extra each & the other sides were like .50c each or something extra. We're like so what sides were we supposed to choose from that was "included with meal"? Was told that was them but was also extra. Like WHAT?? Owner said was stated on menu at bottom somewhere but none of us saw it. The waitress said she'd bring over the menu to show us. We waited another 10min but she never came back with the menu. It wasn't like they were busy we were only other group there at the time. So we just paid & left. Also those beers that were ordered didn't show up till the end of the meal. So we told them it was too late for those & sent them back. I went on their website today to look at the menu they have online which is older. No where on the online menu does it state extra charges for salad sides or any sides. We paid cash too so there wasn't a fee for using credit. Be wary.. I'm seeing posts about a lot of establishments that are sneaking in "fake fees" so the server can collect bigger tips. I'm not sure this is the case because we never saw the menu again to be shown the disclaimer. When you see the word INCLUDED though on a meal description that means that's the price it'll be. Not sure I'll be going back there again. They're lucky we left a tip. read more

Great menu, have been here multiple times and always have a great experience. The staff are always smiling and helpful. Plus the music playlist has always got the vibes. read more

Wow what a disappointment today at this place! I am not a complainer this is my first bad review. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with a side of mac n cheese both items were cold. The chicken was so dry and hard as if it had been cooked days ago. My husband had Tri-tip with a side of beans his meal was also cold and his meat was also very dry. We should have sent it back we were too embarrassed. I was left with a horrible after taste in my mouth from just a few bites of the chicken. Never again would we come back here. read more

The brew was good but the food was not so great, didn't have much flavor and for what we paid, it was disappointing

Stopped in for a quick drink today and was really pleased with the service, menu, and concept of 101 Wine Press. Bartender was quick and respectful, he was knowledgeable of the breweries they carry and was quick to recommend drinks to my unsure self. While we are just visiting, we are excited to return before we head back home!! Wish I grabbed the bartender's name to give him some props (may have been the owner???) but nevertheless, thanks for your kindness! read more

Is this restaurant now closed on Sundays??? Went today .... placed was closed! Not sure if the hours are just old, but I'm hesitant to now go as an out of town visitor. Food is great, but incorrect hours listed on any day leaves a not so great impression. read more

Thos is our neighborhood spot that never disappoints! My "go to" is the tri tip sliders. I am not drinking right now so I ordered an elderberry spritz which was delicious! I have had the frozé slushies and they are delicious as are the sangrias. You can order a flight and taste them all! -Pro tip, ask for the "hot" barbecue sauce. It is amazing but beware, it is hot! The prices are reasonable and the vibe is very laid back and chill. I highly recommend! read more

I really love this place for date nights. It's very cute inside. They serve great drinks and have yummy food. They'll let you hangout instead of trying to rush you out like other places. I love their sangrias! read more

I stopped by for a quick early dinner while my car charged at the EVgo station behind the restaurant. I told the bartender I had to be out in an hour and he made sure I was despite it being kind of busy for 3:00 in the afternoon. I ordered the pork ribs and salad. The ribs were good but nothing special and the salad was quite good being fresh, cold and refreshing. The meal also came with two pieces of garlic bread and pricing was about right for the meal and a glass of beer. read more

Really wanted this place to be good. Long wait- wasn't busy Food came out cold & was just okay Bad service We saw two huge dogs go right into the kitchen read more

Went on a pretty quiet night and was very impressed by the service and the combination plates. Very clean and very cute local place!

IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD !! After over a year of visiting 101(from a bad experience) we decided to try again per my families recommendations we came to r&b live music which we were soo excited for . We ordered a beer, 3 combo with a sides of beans, Jalapeño Mac & cheese, and salad... the first waitress helping passed me to what seemed to be the owner the gentelman told me he would bring me my beer but forgot .. it just so happened to me my brother who ordered after me and offered To bring me my beer... for the food IT WAS BUSY so we waited 35-40 mins & were patient finally i went to the front to ask and in a panic between the waitress and owner they brought us our COLD food. Jalapeño Mac & cheese that had NO jalapeño a combo plate that was supposed to have sausage but no sausage & Missing the beans. Frustrated is an understatement . The owner "tried" to make it right by brining extra meat but we were so hungry we had already started eating the cold food . 56$ DOWN THE DRAIN 0/10 recommend . Such a disappointment for the second time around . read more

Sadly, quality has gone down the past few times we have ordered meals here. Size of Tri Tip Sandwich and chicken sandwiches and amount of meat was very disappointing for all meals. Bones in chicken in the chicken salad is dangerous. Prices do not equate what you are getting, inflation or not. Broccoli Salad had fermented or unpleasant odor and was really watery. read more

Consistent food and open late. We like their tri tip and salads. Service is friendly.

Finally had the chance to visit this spot. Excellent bbq. We tried the tri tip sliders, ribs, Mac & cheese and a side of broccoli salad. Tri tips sliders and ribs were on point, tender and flavorful. Mac & Cheese could of been a littler warmer, was not disappointed. The beer flights were good. Tried the watermelon mimosa light and crisp. Can't wait to try their Unicorn sangria the next time. It was pretty popular with the crowd. Loved the fact that their incorporating live music on Friday's. Can't wait to see what else is in store this summer. We look forward to revisiting this establishment again and trying more of their items. read more

We ordered some tri-tip sandwiches. It has been some time since we ordered something from the Wine Press. The sandwiches were good. Just a little pricey. What isn't nowadays though, right? But the chili was terrible. I bit into a large chunk of garlic. Needless to say it didn't taste good. There were also 2 other large chunks of garlic in the other order of chili. If this is how they make their chili, we would never order that again. If they made a mistake, well management better retrain their cooks. Needless to say the chili did not taste good and we didn't finish them. Too bad because as a local resident, I don't think I would go back. read more

Over the last year the food and service has declined, we decided to give them another try a couple nights ago and the food was worse, also the menu isn't what it used to be, not going back! read more

I had a lunch date planned with my mom and sister at 12:30. When we got there, the atmosphere was great. We were greeted and served right away by a friendly waiter. About halfway through our meal a dj set up a turntable and started playing really loud music. The music was good, just incredibly loud. We couldn't hear each other talk and it was distracting. I asked our waiter if he could get the dj to turn it down and he told us we would have to ask the dj ourselves because it was a private party. That made zero sense to us so we decided to move outside and try to make the best of our lunch. I think 101 Wine Press could have handled a loud event during lunch time much differently. Even a heads up before we ordered would've been nice. If I ever go back, I guess I'll have to call ahead to see if they're having any events??? Weird. Oh, and btw the ribs were mid. read more

I came here tonight after a 12 hour work day, had no time for lunch. So obviously when you are hungry everything usually tastes ohhhh so good, this is not the case here. I really wanted to like this place, correction, I really wanted to LOVE this place. We got seated immediately even if it was packed, no 15-20% capacity here, we are now orange tier so indoor dining is open. The server came and got our drink order after 15 minutes being seated but the couple to our right that was seated right before us had their drink order within 5 minutes. No complaints because I saw it was busy and it seemed understaff. After getting our drinks we ordered our food, pulled pork sandwhich for our appetizer, I ordered the ribs and hubby ordered the tri-tip, we both had the jalapeño Mac n cheese. I am still cool about everything, even if 20 minutes pass and our "neighbor" receives their food. Then a party of 4 is seated in front of us. I asked for utensils since our table did not have any, the server then got ours but forgot to give a knife for my husband. Still calm. 30 minutes pass and the party of 4 receives their food and ours has NOT arrived. NOW I am not happy. I order a carrot cupcake because I am starving at this point and then of course the appetizer, pulled pork sandwich comes out, Murphy's law. The cupcake is very moist and not too dense. Finally our food arrives, and the couple that sat down 2 minutes ahead of us asks for their check as they are done with their meal. Their server and maybe the owner asks them how they are and if they waited long, of course they said "no and food was amazing", but no one checked up on us or asked how was our food. Two minute difference two different experience. For the food. The pulled pork was dry. I suspect that it was waiting outside for awhile. Our food, the jalapeno Mac n cheese had a kick too bad it was COLD. I did not touch it after one bite. I brought it home to heat it up in the microwave. My ribs had great potential as I tasted the flavor when I bit into it but then it was cold. It could have fallen off the bone if it was heated. The tri-tip was so so. I eat all meat without the bbq sauce so It will not mask the taste. The tri-tip had a faint smoke ring which is always nice to see but the meat was tough and not juicy. I have gone to the Nugget rib cook off in Reno and travel to Texas just to eat bbq in different cities I can say I know good bbq with a bite and lick. I wanted to be a regular here, maybe if we were then, our food, service and overall experience would have been better but how can we be regulars if we were not satisfied. Would I come back again... I would have to convince my husband but at this point unfortunately not anytime soon. I wish them the best of luck they seem to be packed and not losing business but a tip for them, be nice to non regulars as well because we could have been regulars too. read more

Fantastic food, great service, even better people. Friendly neighborhood bbq place with live music. Must try if you're in the area.

I want to like this place but it mostly disappointed me. It's been on my list since they do a good job advertising their food and drink on social media. Let's start from the beginning: we walked right in and took a seat at the bar where we were mostly ignored for 10-15 minutes. There were no more than 6 people seated there including us. We finally ordered two drinks, sangria and some sort of sparkling drink called the Unicorn. They were ok, but it took over 10 mins to get them. The place wasn't even super busy. Next we ordered a sausage and cheese appetizer; good flavorful sausage with some delicious mustards. The cheese, subpar. Obviously cut off some warehouse store cheese block. I'll add it took a llloonngg time to get this to us. Food wise, we wanted to try a variety. We ordered ribs, chicken, tri-tip, and sides. Ribs were cold and not tender. Cold dry tri-tip. The chicken was good, warm and Smokey. I ordered jalapeño mac and cheese, it was watery and cold. Use some flour people! Save your money, unless you're a local and it seems like this place is the only show in town, plenty of other good BBQ spots that serve hot/warm food in a timely manner. read more

Great service! The food was AMAZING! We ordered the tri tip meal and the chicken thigh. The chicken was juicy and the chili is to die for.

Excellent service and food was delicious! We had tri-tip tacos, tri-tip and half rack of ribs. We all shared everything and left nothing for a doggie bag!! read more

My wife and I were driving our 2024 RV Van from Arizona to Oregon taken the 101 route. Tired and hungry we chose a restaurant that our local RV site suggested which was convenient being only five minutes away. They had a patio and accommodated our dogs...so far so good. There was one other couple with their dogs just finishing their dinner while listening to the live band. We sat on the same row as them. Five minutes later, a group of five sat behind us. Two minutes later, the waitress came out passing us with a stack of menus thinking two were sure ours. She went straight to the big group to give the menus to all. We looked at her hoping she will come back with another set of menus. After another 10 minutes, she came back out with five glasses of water to give to the group behind us. She did not acknowledged us sitting there with no menus nor did she make eye contact even if she had to pass by us to get to the group behind us. After a total of 20 min sitting there, we just left. I was baffled by her lack of customer service to us but yet she acknowledged the people behind us. Lessons learned. read more

Finally opened on Valentines day! This is a local (our neighbors here in Prunedale) Kevin Olson and family winery up on the hill. This is there own wine offered here, they also offer Folktale wines and a few beers on tap. This is also a BBQ place with chicken, Tri Tip and sausage plates. They also have a couple of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and some sides. I tried the beans today and they were barely luke warm and more like soup, not alot of flavor going on there. First day jitters I am guessing. But I do plan on coming back to try their BBQ. They do have a nice bar to sit at and have Tv's on the wall to watch sports. read more

I am giving them 3 stars because the music always great there. Every time I go there, my bill is always wrong. I went this weekend and was charged for 2 drinks that were not mine $25. Plus now there was a 18% gratuity on the bill we had 4 people at the table. Not sure if that is a new thing. read more

Great place with high ceiling and lots of space. Big TV's, really good tasting food, very personable owner. Covered outdoor seating and dining area was really nice too, we'll have to try that out one day. The place is real. read more

I'm so excited to have a high quality BBQ spot right here in Prunedale! My husband treated me to a date night this past weekend and we decided to give this hot, new spot a try..... it did not disappoint! Everything from the wine and cheese platter to the magnificent tri tip salad (one of the best I've ever had!) my hubby loved his tri tip sandwich! It's the kind of meat that melts in your mouth it's cooked so well! They really take pride in outstanding customer service (Richard at the bar was super knowledgeable and friendly). Everyone was happy and eager to make your experience great! The wine is some of the best I've had! Do yourself a favor and order a glass of '14' Pinot, or a glass of bubbly which is also local, from the Carmel Valley! This establishment is clean and pristine with beautiful touches like fresh flowers, beautiful succulents, and lovely glass bottles of water served to every table! 101 Wine Press is a gem!!!!!! Great wine, awesome food and an amazing time! read more

Good food, good live music and ok drinks. The flights drinks always have one ingredient missing therefore they give you two of the same. They're ore made so it kinda kills the taste and quality. Over all a good place to eat read more

The restaurant is clean. My Tri-tip sandwich was cold and according to the menu it should have come with with onions and bell peppers. It did not. read more

I can give the Wine Press 5 stars for the ambiance. I had the tri tip and the flavor was pretty good, my tri tip was a little tuff with gristle. We went with friends and they enjoyed it and were very happy. I'm sorry but $23 for a half pound meal is just way too high. I do a much better job of garlic bread or toast. The broccoli salad was great. They need to do a better job bringing the food HOT! At this time I can only give 3 stars for the food and service The staff was very friendly read more

Delicious food with excellent customer service, Nick is on it making sure all customers are satisfied. Welcomed me in with recommendations as it was my first time here. I'm a huge fan of how the restaurant is furnished, it's very tasteful and also extremely clean. Nothing seemed out of place here at 101 Wine press. I had the tri tip sandwich with chili which was tender and flavorfull, the chili had a perfect balance between spice and flavor. read more

I brought my small children in asking to use the restroom when Burger King across the way was out of order. I asked politely asked to use their restroom as my 3yo was having a hard time holding it, I thought the person working there would be understanding as he had 2 kids hanging around the empty restaurant. I was immediately shut down by a "sorry it's just for patrons." Well, they just lost a few, won't be going back there. read more

Last visit was very disappointing. I made an order for takeout and all the food was cold. Chicken was so dry, the sausage was okay. Overall, Food was lacking so much favor. Food was sooooooo expensive and not worth it at all. Definitely won't be coming back. Save yourself a trip ! read more

So glad this gem in Prunedale has made it through COVID. They are coming out even stronger than before and food better than ever. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Family owned and operated. Nick rocks it at the bar. The wine and beer selection is great, with many local wines and brews represented. The ribs and brisket are to LIVE for! Great menu. Friendly service. Check them out. read more
