This has easily become one of my favorite places to visit once a month. As a wife and mother, it's…read moreone of the few places where I truly get to step out of "mom mode," relax, and just enjoy the moment for myself. The atmosphere is always welcoming, especially on live music nights. The owner is incredibly friendly and makes it a point to personally connect with every guest, which makes the experience feel even more special and intimate. It is a smaller venue, so I highly recommend making reservations if you want guaranteed seating because once the live music starts, the place fills up FAST. But every single time I go, it's always a great experience. One thing I truly love most about this spot is how it naturally brings people together. I've met new friends just by sitting, chatting, and enjoying the music and wine. It's such a positive and inviting environment. If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and showing support. And I absolutely have to add it's a Black-owned business, so let's continue supporting and pouring into businesses that create spaces like this for the community.

This is one of the places I wanted to check out since I love wine and charcuterie boards…read more I came by a few weeks ago, peeked in and left because there was nobody there. I went again last weekend with my boyfriend and our friend during the wine hopping event. This time it was busy. We were seated in the back room that felt like a conference room. I felt like I was excluded from the party because we didn't buy the tickets for the event. We were still paying customers. I did the wine tasting with 3 red wines and a personal charcuterie board. Bad time to come because we felt unwelcome. Limited to where we can sit. "It's reserved" Pros - lots of free parking - cute decor - good charcuterie board - waitress was nice Cons - I didn't like any of my wine - bad pour for the price - Boring I won't be back. There wasn't anything memorable.

Uncorked on State is an unassuming fancier little restaurant at the edge of Downtown Redlands. For…read moreyou amex platinum enthusiasts, this is a Resy restaurant if you have credits to burn. Appetizers are the move here. Bruschetta Shrimp burrata, quite nice and unique without being too outlandish. It has the refreshment of bruschetta burrata but with shrimp. Smoked salmon tartine is pretty self explanatory. Flavor profile is all there without being too strong from the smoked salmon taste. Porcini mushroom pizza is a nice small mushroom pizza to snack on while you wait on other food. Bacon wrapped figs were decent too although the sauce was probably the best part about it. Our main entree was a Red pepper pasta filet mignon, which frankly was a little flat. The filet mignon wasn't too tender or flavorful frankly and the pasta sauce was a little lackluster as well. But for filler, it does the job. So like i said, appetizers are the move here, pair them with a wine to maximize your experience here (if your wallet is willing), otherwise, the place does run a little more expensive than other restaurants in the area.

Really enjoyed our date night at Devereaux House! The atmosphere, eclectic décor, backyard, and…read moremusic were definitely my favorite parts. Such a unique and fun vibe. The pizza was made from scratch and cooked in a stone oven over a live fire, which gave it such a great flavor. I had the vodka pesto pizza, and honestly, it was one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. The wine was also really good and paired perfectly with the pizza. I do wish they had a charcuterie board, though. I think that would've been a great addition with the wine. The bartenders were great too and even let us taste different options before committing to a full pour. Overall, such a fun spot for a date night!

I came here with my friend on a Saturday night after a crazy month of working dawn to dusk. We were…read morereally looking forward to the food and ambiance, but were severely disappointed in our meal. The pictures posted by the business are extremely misleading. The pizza we received looked like corporate chain pizza which also lacked the homemade crust and sauce we expected. Either the recipe changed from when the pictures were posted, or it was an advertisement trap. The ambiance was great though. I loved the lights and decor. Another table also played mario kart and the switch which looked like lots of fun. Logistics-wise was a bit confusing. We parked in a lot across the restaurant. And I wasn't able to find a clear entrance and just walked through open gates and tables. I think you order at the bar and seat yourself/someone will seat you if it's busier. Then they deliver to your table. Our meal came out to $90 for 2 pizzas, 2 drinks, and a side of marinated olives. Would not come again.

Kept seeing flyers for it I kept forgetting to go and I really didn't think that the wine would be very good. But what was actually incredibly surprising was the detail and the quality! I think the buy appointment only is it common but highly appreciated once you get there for sure! I ended up not getting the wine because I wanted to try the hard apple cider. I definitely had a little buzz going and it was only I think five or something maybe six different flavors very good size for a flight. Next time I'll come back for the wine because they are made there! Some of the grape grapes are shipped in and there is a local orchard. Just a very cool and surprising little spot. I was not expecting the hands-on aspect of the winery. I'm looking forward to going back! Special shout out to the staff for being accommodating, conversational, friendly, fast and efficient! Honestly it was a fantastic experience.

Visited this great restaurant again! Had the shrimp cocktail (mexican style). It was so delicious…read moreas the sauce was a perfect blend of tomato juice and spices (not hot). You can squeeze lemon or lime in the cocktail or add hot sauce. Three fresh oysters were included. I love those but they could have been colder. Served with a beautifully ripe avocado on top and professionally cut cucumber, onion and cilantro, Yum!! The shrimp were good size and good texture (not mushy). My friend ordered cheese enchiladas. She orders them without sauce but the cook did a great job preparing them and she said they were perfect. The enchiladas came with beans and rice and we ordered salads that were extra. It was all tasty with fresh lettuce and good salad dressing (we had italian and ranch). Service was so so. We were there midday and it seems many restaurants are this way at this time of day. Not sure if it's because they send servers home and there are not as many to wait on customers or they have side duties that take them away from serving, but it's typical and frustrating. I will say the first bus boy was not good seemed very unhappy and never smiled but then a second bus boy showed up and he was smiling, helpful, friendly and saved the day!!

Stephanie and Lydia, co-owners, were manning the front and kitchen areas of this intimate wine and tapas bar. They're both excellent hosts, very friendly, and love to discuss their love of food and wine. It's not a huge place, with intimate indoor and sidewalk seating areas. On street parking is limited, but there are two parking lots behind the building, off the alley to the east. One lot is covered and has a handicap spot; the other lot is open. WINE: The current wine menu (see my picture) has a good selection of Latin inspired wines from Latino winemakers in Mexico, South America (Chile and Argentina), and the US. The wine list changes and as they continue to grow, they'll be adding more selections and countries/regions. Wines are sold by the glass and bottle. If you ask, they'll pour you a taste before you order to see if you're going to like that wine or not. My "Open Bottle Red Tasting Flight" was just $15 for three generous pours of Pinot Noir, Carménère, and Malbec. Glasses range from $11 - $15...very reasonable. FOOD: They offer "Bites, Boards & Platos Fuertes", which are tapas style and shareable plates that pair with your wine selection. We shared a couple of orders of the Empanadas ($15 for 3), which were baked perfectly. We tried the Beef, Chorizo & Queso, and Queso & Membrillo (Spanish cheese with quince paste...great as dessert). We also tried the Brie con Miel ($14) and the Puerto Rican Picadillo ($16) served with rice. Everything has great flavors and is quite delicious! Overall, this is a vibrant, fun little wine bar with great service, food, and vino. We're glad that they're here in the neighborhood and I can't recommend them highly enough.

The gracious hosts taught us the proper way of tasting wines. Delicious bites were paired with these wines. The lounge is quite small but there's beautiful inside seating as well as comfortable patio seating. A live band serenaded us while we were enjoying our meal and wines. Bands actually perform on select nights so call the place for inquiries. Wine tasting and paired bites are priced at a low price of only $25. Check their website to check upcoming events and booked asap because they tend to sell out fast. That's how popular this lounge and their wine tasting events are.

This restaurant is inside Chateau Big Bear and features a 57-foot ornate Tiffany dome. On this evening, my family and I got to see pianist Mike Cross perform blues music along with a drummer and bassist. Mike was very friendly, and we got to exchange greetings after the show. We got the chicken marsala, spaghetti bolognese, and Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken marsala came as a big portion with a lot of mashed potatoes along with steamed carrots and charred broccoli. It was delicious with the rich and savory marsala wine sauce. Also, I never realized that charred broccoli can be so tasty. Service was a little spotty as it took long to flag a server for drink refills. Otherwise, this was overall an enjoyably memorable dining experience with my family.
