You can really tell that a lot of care goes into the food here. I also had the chance to speak with the manager, and her passion for what she does truly stands out. She talked about constantly thinking of new ideas for the menu and making sure everything offered feels intentional and thoughtfully selected. That level of dedication really shows in the quality of the food and the overall experience. I'll definitely be coming back. If you're looking for an amazing croissant, this place absolutely delivers. Also a great place to study, everyone seems to do the same. Great environment

No I would not just because the price and I had fresher piece of salmon.

For example, I'll ask for two specific patties that I point out & the person helping will pick another patty up & when I ask again for what I wanted, they look at the patty they picked up like nothing was wrong with it. Customers shouldn't be given attitude for getting exactly what they are asking for. And then depending who you get to cut your slices, you'll never have your orders the same cuz each person will slice them differently. It can be pretty frustrating at times.

It's a great way to try something new, and I've yet to be disappointed. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a good glass, they're happy to guide you in the right direction. The bar itself is comfortable and inviting, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a tasting. One of my favorite features, though, is their wine market. It's thoughtfully curated and makes it hard to leave without picking up a bottle or two to take home. Great wine, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're in the area and enjoy wine, The Wine Lab is absolutely worth a visit.

Last Saturday, my friends and I hosted a close friend's bridal shower with around 12 guests. We've…read moreseen Charcutereats' previous work and decided to pursue them due to what we thought was quality and presentation. What we got in comparison to that and the pictures displayed on their instagram account is nothing short of a bootleg version. See photos for reference even though the owner will deny and leave a comment generated by ChatGPT. 1. Quality: The two main orders were absolutely sub par and cheap. The bagel spread does not feed up to 12 as advertised and feeds more so around 5 people. We got 6 very dry bagels cut in half, one large cut tomato, maybe half an onion, maybe a quarter of a lemon and spread for maybe one and a half bagels? The ingredients were spread so flat to create an illusion that the serving plate was full. The smoked salmon that we paid extra for was a mere few slices for 3-5 individuals versus the photos that show a decent amount for "up to 12pp." The caprese pasta salad had absolutely no flavor, and was brown from the balsamic vinegar yet gave no flavor and was a mere cold pasta with bits of basel.  2. Expectation: As shown on their social media page and website, the orders come on wooden boards and wooden bowls with some decorative items. What we got instead was a hasty delivery of a flimsy and broken plastic bowl for the pasta -- that had to be thrown out upon putting it out --and a flimsy wooden plate for the lightest bagel spread we've seen that was surely not worth more than $50. 3. Communication: Upon inputting the order and the delivery day, there was no communication. We had to reach out via email and confirm the day before and was met with a different drop off/set up time than initially agreed upon when the order was inputted. We 11:45am since the party was at 12pm, and instead got forced into settling for a 10:30am slot after some back and forth. This is unprofessional for any business that is selling a service. Save yourself the hassle and money and go to Costco and get yourself what you need, because the business is apparently falling apart.

I only needed…read moreto pay and grab my order, but owner Ryan told me he was going to ring up two other customers first. I didn't mind waiting, but it felt like he was intentionally taking his time. When it was finally my turn, he asked me to meet him on the other side of the store, handed me my bag, and said I looked mad and could have the sandwiches for free. I told him I was happy to pay, and he responded by telling me to "fuck off." I was shocked and asked if he had really just said that, and he doubled down and told me to get going. I've been a regular customer for years, but after being treated like that by the owner, I won't be back. Ryan came across as someone who grew up with a silver spoon in Newport Beach and thinks he can talk to customers however he wants. Unfortunately, they just lost two loyal customers.

If you want by far the best sandwiches and meats this is the place to be coming to all the time,…read moreand here's why.... No matter what you order this place is just phenomenal and everything is great about it. I used to come here over five years ago when I lived in Newport and now that I moved back I will definitely be coming here a lot more often. I walked in today and met the owner Sean. Extremely cool guy and clearly someone who really understands great food. We started talking and he told me the reason he even bought the place was because the first time he ever came here he ordered the roast beef and was so impressed he ended up buying the restaurant. After hearing that I had to try it! The roast beef sandwich comes with lettuce, onion, tomato, mustard and mayo with your choice of cheese and bread. The meat is piled high and is super tender and moist, and everything tastes fresh. Simple and done right and that's exactly why it works. Next was the Reuben. Corned beef with melted Swiss, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on toasted marble rye. This one is loaded and perfectly balanced. Warm, melty and full of flavor with the bread toasted just enough to hold it together. Honestly one of the best Reubens I've had. Then there's the hot German potato salad. Warm potatoes with a vinegar bite that gives it a really distinct flavor and it was amazing alongside the sandwiches. I love when owners are passionate about their places. Sean is a great guy and I can't wait to come back and try something different or just go for the Reuben again because it really was that good!

They are full of knowledge for the beer, wine and olive oils that you can't miss finding something that hits the spot. Highly recommended.

Anyways, we came back 2 days later because we really wanted to try this place on our way back home. The owner's daughter was working, and SHE WAS SO SWEET. One of the best customer service experiences. We got some olive oil samples (lemon & basil) & it was so good w/our bread, we ended up buying the olive oil 5 piece sampler pack. Never been more into olive oil than now. That basil was extremely tasty. Also had my orange wine (amazing flavor + so crisp), plus a drink consisting of sparkling wine w/pear or peach balsamic vinegar???? Surprisingly SO GOOD. She told us there's a location in La Jolla and we live in San Diego, so we may become regulars there!! Thanks for the amazing Valentine's Day experience.
