    TAGLIATELLE  GUANCIALE
    sim k.

    Such a nice relaxing place with a great ambience! You can sit either in the back patio which has such a quiet atmosphere or inside where the lighting is perfect for a nice dinner date. The food is delicious and honestly at a reasonable price. Most dishes are shareable and the flavors are exquisite. The service is also very welcoming and efficient, if not for the little wait from time to time for the main courses.

    Bruschetta with Tomato
    Ves S.

    Stopped by for happy hour early dinner! Theres a good selection of entrees and appetizers specially made for happy hour, like cheeseburger (without fries), pizza, various pasta dishes, and appetizers. Everything tasted and looked good, though carb heavy if you're looking out for that. The pizza was a little saucy but the bread crust was great and dipable with the provided ranch. Theres an outdoor seating area in the back as well as a large indoor area. Restrooms are nice. We parked on the street, just read the signs.

    Market Salad and bread with salted butter - bread was too seedy and dry for me.

    Stopped by at around 5:30PM--lovely ambience and very friendly service. Chanel was especially sweet and attentive. Food-wise, nothing really stood out to me: *Market salad - Pretty good. Mostly tasted like a regular Caesar with just occasional hints of seasoning. *Bread and salted butter - dry, very seedy bread; butter didn't add much. I didn't like the caraway seeds. *Pea gnocchi - dense gnocchi with light pea flavor and not enough sauce. *Bolognese pasta - something about the flavor didn't sit right with me. There's a unique ingredient that I couldn't put my finger on, but I ended up eating anyway since it was the most savory out of the two past dishes we ordered. Nice spot to meet a friend, but I don't see myself coming back.

    CALAMARI
    Nalani L.

    If you're looking for outstanding pizza, look no further. The crust on their pizza is phenomenal. The best pizza in the area in my opinion. The Fried Calamari is a Crispy Perfection. For an appetizer, the Fried Calamari was a must try, and it did not disappoint. It was incredibly fresh and perfectly crispy without being greasy. It was an excellent start to the meal. I also enjoyed an Aperol Spritz, and it was perfectly mixed refreshing, crisp, and the ideal balance of bitter and sweet. 10/10 recommend.

    Mushroom gnoccheti and TAGLIATELLE SHRIMP
    Olena V.

    Had a fantastic dinner on their charming patio last week. I loved their mushroom gnoccheti, which actually had a really good amount of mushrooms - not like some other Italian restaurant that feel like placing 5 slices of mushrooms on top of pasta is enough. Will be back for more!

    Gnocchetti with Mushroom
    Renee C.

    It was very cute! We got the gnochetti shitake & oyster pasta, bruschetta, and pene bolognese. The food was good! I think that the other location may be slightly better however. The patio was very nice and spacious.

    Olives

    Went to Blair's on a Thursday afternoon for their happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. The restaurant itself the decor is beautiful, dimly lit, giving off romantical vibes. There was actually a lot of groups and couples and families at the restaurant which was nice to see. They also have an outdoor patio, which is really nice and cute as well. A lot of candles nicely decorated. My friend and I got a glass of white wine off of their happy hour menu, which was delicious crisp refreshing and we also got some of their appetizers. We started off with their olives, which were amazing. I love olives, and these olives were super delicious. Very flavorful. We also got the bruschetta which was amazing. I don't like raw tomatoes, and I tried it and I ate it all. It was well seasoned very fresh. The bread was amazing and thick cut of bread that held up the bruschetta well and we also had their garlic fries, which were also delicious. Lastly, my friend and I both got pastas which are homemade every day and it was amazing. Now, when it comes to the service, the waiter that served us was awesome. He was kind he was attentive. He was on top of his service and it was a nice. Definitely coming back to Blair's again and would highly recommend it.

    Came in on an early Saturday evening as we were looking to try someplace new (to us; don't know if it's NEW) and we're glad we did! Cute big open room, patio in the back, staff is helpful with suggestions. We shared the meatballs in polenta, I had gnochetti with sausage, kale and pecorino, hubby had penne ragu bolognese. This is great pasta, which they make on site daily. $25 corkage but why not? We'll definitely go back!

    Yes. There is outdoor seating in the front. And this location has huge windows that open up so even when you're inside it feels really open.

    Can you still bring your own wine?

    I hear they have a low corkage fee...we bought there and wish we'd brought a bottle.

    Are there any dishes available for lactose intolerant guests?

    yes, there is a variety of options for dairy free shareables and mains.

    Are their vegan options?

Not a good look when the only POC in the building are being made to feel like we don't belong considering most of us are from here. Felt a bit Rosa Parks to me which is most definitely not the vibe. We ultimately had 20 people there enjoying the company but being treated like trash at a spot where most of us would walk to! Aside from Gabriel, who is always nice, Customer service was subpar and not the way a local bar should feel. Posting this knowing they will likely not care but hoping you will.

They offer three curated tastings: Monthly special ($27), Reserve ($40) or Library ($20) or you can order by the glass. I selected the Library Tasting. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of reds but these were excellent. My tasting consisted of a Grenache (2017), a Syrah (2017), Alicante Bouschet (2017), & Evenfall (2016). Each one was well balanced, the notes were lovely, and the finish was smooth. During my tasting I had a wonderful conversation with Al & Mark.

He let me try some of the Anonymous, which is a secret blend and listed as "Origin & Vintage Unknown." It was fantastic! After trying Byron Blatty Wines, I'm now a fan of reds.

We would have been happy to overlook the slow service and enjoy a long, relaxed evening catching up with friends--until the end of the night. After we had already paid our bill and were in the middle of dessert, we were abruptly and quite rudely told we needed to leave because they were closing. I didn't even get to finish my dessert, and one of our guests had to abandon a half-full glass of wine as we rushed out. After waiting nearly an hour just to begin our meal, being pushed out the door like that felt incredibly disrespectful. Such a disappointment, because I was really excited to try this place. The food is good and the atmosphere is charming--but the overall experience, especially how we were treated at the end, left a bad impression.

After he wasnt able to becuase he wasnt expecting me to call out his rude comment, I had to then break it down and specify what I had ordered, he then sold "okayyyy....so how much, cause we don't itemize?" I had to again express for him to specify how they do it cause he has still yet to explain where his attitude is coming from and explain how they do their check splits, from my understanding it just felt like he wanted to play dumb and make me to the math, one I did he was like "ohh, okay" should have asked for the manager but we paid and left, I hasnt had this experience before being a returning customer, but he needs an attitude adjustment as his attitude was completely out of pocket. Do better Manuel, you alone got your place of work a 1 star. The rest of the staff was kind, facility beautiful and food and wine was good. This restaurant is not reflected in the 1 star.
