I've walked past this place plenty of times and finally decided after work to stop in, was around…read more7:30pm and was greeted by Micah, he was so kind and so easy to talk to. Helped me try a few wines and landed on the draft sparkling, which paired really nicely with my food. The kitchen is definitely on top of the products that come out and have high standards for their food. I left very happy with my experience, especially with the bar being filled with other kind folks, who loved to chat! Overall, the Merenda was a beautiful space, ambience was lovely. This is going to be my hidden gem that i bring my friends to and officially part of my boyfriend and I's date night list! Thank you Micah & see you soon!!

Food was OK, the pasta had an interesting flavor and it was very greasy. The potatoes could have used more seasoning. The duck liver, well i don't like duck or liver but i wanted to try it. I am interested in trying the other options. 3. I wasn't a fan of the white wine I had, so I will be trying the other types of wine they have. Overall good dining experience!

This craft wine tasting room is amazing. It has ample (heated) space in the back to bring in your…read moreown food and friends for wine pairings, and the wine varietals are second to none. (You can also grab charcuterie items from their fridge.) For your non-wine friends they have slushies. The tasting room is licensed for children as well. I believe they have sodas in the fridge you can purchase for the youngsters. The best thing about this place is that every Sunday there's a music open mic featuring local singers and artists from 6-9. The host, local legend Raynaldo Martine, will play along with artists or let them go solo. The list is always fair, and the hosts respect the amount of time artists spend in the venue. Overall, this is a place where you can enjoy some high-end craft wine and excellent entertainment. They have other entertainment lined up other days, so call ahead to find out what's going on.

We were walking by Coomber one afternoon while visiting Oceanside. The place was closed but we were…read morelooking at the menu on the wall outside when a gentleman came up and greeted us. I think he was the owner and he said they weren't opened yet but invited us inside for a little tour. He told us they had live music every night. We came back later that night for a drink because of his friendliness and hospitality. There was indeed live music and we had a glass of their delicious Pinot Noir and bought a bottle of wine to take home. They don't serve food, but there are plenty of restaurants near by where you can order food to bring in with you. They did sell little charcuterie boards and snacks though, which was nice to see. The outdoor patio was so cozy with ambient string lights and plenty of seating. Definitely a great place to have a drink and listen to some live music. Thank you to the gentlemen who made us feel welcome and inviting us for a tour before you were open.

I don't remember what I got but I tried two different types of reds and they were absolutely delicious. The tuna crudo is really tasty and fresh. The flavor combination of the citrus and garlic is unique and addicting. I could have like 5 plates of this! The duck was cooked amazingly - maybe a little on the salty side but not enough for me to mind. The lentils and fennel were a fun combo to pair with the duck. Again, a unique dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. Lastly, we ended the night with a creamy basque cheesecake. This is one of the better cheesecakes I've had. It was rich and sweet but not sickeningly sweet. I loved everything I had and the servers are always amazing and so knowledgeable about the wines which I really appreciate. Cheers!

The service was awesome from the hostess to our server, Jenny, who took amazing care of us and was so intelligent and well-spoken. We were super happy with the food selection and would've loved to try more. The prices were on the higher end but the portions were more substantial than we expected and I felt nothing was priced incorrectly. The only thing that was a total miss for us was their winter salad. The lettuce didn't taste right and there was little to no flavor. I would avoid this dish if you go. A very small blip in an otherwise splendid evening!

My friend organized a '70s-themed beach party in Oceanside, and we ended up at this cool spot for…read moreappetizers and drinks. This was my second time here, and I love everything about this place. First of all, kudos to the bartender--I forgot her name, but she was incredibly generous and kind. She accidentally forgot my drink and kept apologizing, but I told her it was totally fine since we had a large party. To make up for it, she gave me two shots instead of one and even added a big discount. The ambiance of this place is unique and very artsy. If you're looking for a cool, one-of-a-kind spot to hang out, this is it. There's so much attention to detail throughout--even the restroom door is thoughtfully designed with a modern, creative touch. My friend ordered a variety of cocktails, and everyone enjoyed them. The food was great as well. I ordered the hummus plate, and it was the best I've ever had--so fresh and served in a generous portion. My friends tried the pizza and a few other items from the menu, and everything got a thumbs up. If you're in the area looking for a cool place to hang out or planning a party, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back again soon.

Oof, I really wanted to like this place. But this wasn't it. They have potential but they're not…read morethere yet. First off, they have a "wait to be seated" sign at their entrance, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. When we were inside, we noticed there was another entrance and people were just walking in, so "waiting to be seated" was just an option? We ordered a beer and seltzer and it took easily 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Drinks that were in cans by the way. Music was good, DJs were good, but the whole vibe of the place is kinda everywhere. This lighting in this place needs to be more dimmed. DJs are spinning right in the middle of the room, and there's a clothes rack just chilling against the wall. The baristas are way in the back, and you can't really tell who works there. It took equally as long to get the check as it did to get my drinks. We only had 1 round of drinks. I dunno, waiting for canned drinks just threw me off. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken to get a mixed cocktail. I only saw one guy mixing drinks and a bunch of women just hanging around. I'm assuming workers that look like they don't work there.

The Hubs and I love to do Saturday beer days - We will bounce around to different breweries to try…read morenew brews and grab some tasty bites. Bottlecraft has several locations, but we have both agreed that the Oceanside location is our favorite. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop and tasting room - This means that you can taste a variety of beers, which taps continuously rotating - then pick up cans of your faves.. or try brand new cans to bring home. We love to grab a spot at the bar {typically to watch whatever sporting event is on TV}, or on the back outdoor patio space if we come with a group. When seated at the bar area, you can also chat with the amazing beertenders and ask for their recommendations if you're unsure what to try {I will always recommend a good Hazy or Double IPA}. The team here is always on point - Providing fantastic service as well as friendly conversation while you enjoy your brews! Not a beer drinker?! Hard Kombucha, Cider, Wine and Non-Alcoholic options are available - There is something for everyone! While enjoying your brews, if hunger hits, visit Shootz Fish & Beer - This is a stellar food spot tucked in the corner as you enter the shop. Do not skip out on the Potato Taco! It's the perfect pairing with a good beer - You will thank me later for introducing this combo into your life! ;-) Along with phenomenal beer, Bottlecraft is pet friendly and just a hop skip and jump to the beach - What's not to love here?! Calling all beer peeps - Are you on Untapped?? If so, let me know.. I'd love to connect and see what brews you are currently loving.. or not.

I was able to find beers that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Tried the sour that was on tap and bought the cascade kriek sour. There is a small corkage fee if you buy bottles and want to consume them there but it's worth it. They have a nice outdoor area that seems to be connected to the other businesses they are connected to. Will come back to try more beers.

I definitely love the warehouse vibe, clean open space, awesome craft beer selection, and the wine options they have. The patio area is a great place to hang out and has a very family-friendly feel. They also serve food on site, including hot pizza prepared in an outdoor pizza oven. I came here today to support my friend who was playing in a live reggae band, and the whole setting made it even better. Service was spot on and professional. The bathrooms were clean, and believe it or not, parking was a little hard, but it was okay I was able to find a spot around the corner. The place is tucked away in an industrial area right across from the airport, which actually gives it a really cool vibe. I highly recommend checking this place out.

We had to park on the street which was a bummer but atleast it's not a busy road. The place was huge! It had sufficient space inside an outside for large groups. They all have a bar for wine and a bar for beer which is pretty neat and different. Their kitchen was having issues when we went so the only food option was a pizza food truck which I didn't get because I knew I'd have leftovers and a pizza box is hard to take on the bike. I ended up getting the strawberry lemonade seltzer. It was what you'd expect but it was so darn refreshing in the heat! I would deffintly come back here to just hang out. The vibes were perfect!

That said, there appears to be a discrepancy between what is promoted as top-shelf liquor and what is actually being poured, based on both my experience and comments from other patrons. I will share these concerns with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) If you look behind the bar, you will see a glass bottle with a Tito's sweater. It's NOT Tito's. Nor is the bottle a Tito's bottle. Every time we have been there, it appears to be very busy, so I don't see the reasoning here. I hope greed doesn't get this place shut down. Don't take my evaluation as gospel. Go check it out. 5 star establishment, 0 stars for being greedy, especially when the people are willing to pay. As I write this, I assume it's a profit margin thing.
