Upon entering, a few two- and four-seat tables, plenty of available seating. We got a ($35) wine flight of seven wines - 3 grape wines, 4 honey wines. Nice way to sample what they have and plenty generous pours for two, making it a decent investment. None of the wines were bad, 2-3 we'd consider getting bottles of. It's a quieter, chiller vibe than a craft brewery, which is a nice option. So reasonable prices, good product, good ambience - we'll be back.

They also seemed slightly overwhelmed with a slightly larger group even though one of the girls in our group had given the place a heads up that we were coming. The wines we ordered (Tannat, rose and sangria) were all delicious. As a group we ordered charcuterie, skewers, cheese balls and empanadas. All the snack plates were tasty. Overall, it was a decent experience once we were able to get the few tables set up outside. Definitely good for a nice little date night but for large groups they don't really have the space for i

It sounds like the wine list changes about every quarter, so there's opportunity to try different sips! Food did take a while (~25 min) for what it was, but will definitely cut some slack as there was only one server on to take care of the whole places. Offerings were quality and appreciated having a taste of Spain with the manchego, cava, and Serrano ham!

We were completely overlooked and had to go up to the bar ourselves to ask for menus and water. The food itself was decent. The Hot Artichoke Dip was creamy and served with pita. The Pacific Coast Salmon was well-cooked and paired nicely with mushroom risotto and vegetables. The Cinnamon Ice Cream tasted good. Where things really fell apart was the service and timing. We planned to enjoy dessert at the restaurant and also order takeout, but there was confusion and staff assumed the ice cream was to-go. The wait times were excessive: 40 minutes for ice cream 15 additional minutes for salmon takeout Another 10 minutes for the artichoke dip By the end of the visit, the delays and lack of attention made the experience feel frustrating and not worth it. Overall, while the food was okay, the service and long wait times significantly impacted the experience. I would not return.

That said, it doesn't seem a lot has changed, and that's a good thing because this location has been doing things great for a while now. I came for breakfast and got a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The barista seemed to know his customers well since he was joking with a few of them. So 'local hangout vibe' - check. My meal was good, even if he forgot to ask if I was staying or this was to-go. So initially he gave me everything to-go but gave me a real plate when I asked for one. I perused the wines selection and discovered there's not as much Virginia wine as their used to be. Hopefully that might just be because the current inventory was low. I'll have to come back to see if they've changed their options. Overall, it a nice visit and worth a repeat, especially for lunch and/or a glass of wine.

But Mulberry Lane is a notch above bc not only is it a play cafe but there is staff there to watch your lils while you get to go elsewhere within the building whether that's in the lil tables visibly nearby or in one of their neighboring and partnering restaurants. I'd toootally get my kids memberships if we lived nearby. Since we probably would only go weekends for an hour or two, I'm glad there are the options for one time pay or multi hour passes for future use. Since we weren't sure if we'd be back, we gave it a try for one hour. Prices may change but our first time was $18 per child per hour. This may seem high for only one hour, but my kids had fun and my hour without worrying about them or being interrupted was very productive so it was worth it. Staff are friendly. I only wished they had gluten free options for the kiddos to enjoy after their play. Guess we can bring our own next time! :)

The waitress was wonderful and allowed us to eat outside as long as we also purchased food from their menu. Sure no problem I'll take the $10 olives....even though we planned on ordering a bottle of wine. The service was lovely, wine was delish, olives were olives. EXCEPT when the check comes and there is a $20 dollar open bottle fee that was never told To you. When we asked they simply said well it's on our menu. So our $30 bottle of wine now cost us $50. What a freaking rip off. This should be reiterated by the waitress when ordering to ensure customers are aware. I had just said to my fiancé that I will definitely come back... however after that shit no way. I'll go buy a bottle from the store next time and eat my damn pizza at home. Bad business motto for sure.. no wonder we were the only ones in there.

Zena's (the proprietor) knowledge is only exceeded by her welcoming personality. The other half is a small cafe where she serves a rotating cast of wines by the glass or bottle.

They are life altering good. The third half of the store (math is not my thing) is a wine focused curio shop. Much of the merchandise is vintage bar ware that you just can't find.

I've seen weddings take place here too--would consider having mine here if I weren't poor.

Blagden alley is also behind it so you can have Tiger Fork, The Dabney, and a bunch of other places right there. Espita Mezcaleria is basically next door.
