Ruben C.

Great new addition to the greater Buda/Kyle metroplex area and just what beer geeks like me here needed. No more running up too ATX, San Marcos, or SA to try great, local, craft beer. By local, they really mean it. They are trying to get brews that are local to the Buda area. And while they may carry a tap or two from breweries in Austin/SA, they really want to spotlight breweries that are not Austin or SA based, really defining "drink local." We went during their soft opening and they had a steady, if not busy stream of customers, which all managed to get served timely and had their questions answered (some customers were new to the craft beer scene). Really look forward to coming back here and setting their additions (outdoor seating). No food as of yet but you can bring your own or call it in (pro tip: there's a Papa John's next door and a Thai restaurant a block away) Looking forward to many more pints at this new hang out spot in the 78610.

I really enjoyed the salami and the olives. All of it was good. I would definitely recommend!! -Very nice outdoor patio area.

We were greeted with friendly hellos, but more importantly, so many people, patrons and employees, greeted our pup! Our pup was so excited! You could tell how special she felt. We ordered from Allie, who is an absolute ROCKSTAR! After telling Allie our preferences, she suggested wine that we normally wouldn't have tried, but boy, does she know her stuff! We started with the "Spirit of the Vine" and a smokey red flight. After Allie's white wine suggestion, I fully trusted her to pick my white wine flight and she did an amazing job! We mentioned that we were on a family camping trip and she sold us on the port wine they make. I usually dislike ports, but this one was just like sitting by the fire eating a s'mores! Smooth, not overly sweet, and soooo good! We sat by the winery's back window and chatted with other patrons. We loved how beautiful the winery was; complete with a cold and hot water station, and to honor those for Memorial Day they had a remembrance table. We can't stop talking about Water 2 Wine. We sincerely hope we get to visit again. Thank you for incredible service and delightful wine.

We asked about happy eand learned beer was 15% off. They did run out of the nachos. The brussel sprouts were good at $12 but the waitress made it sound bigger than it was. We ordered a couple things to share and a chicken sandwich with a side choice of 1/2 Caesar salad. We also tasted a couple beers and made our 16 ounce choice. What we didn't like was how often we were asked if we wanted something else when we said we were going to wait to see how the 3 things we ordered would be. When we were done, she was nowhere to be found so I went to the front for our bill which was wrong. She charged for the samples $7 less 15% and $2 for the half salad. There was never a mention of theses charges so the manager kindly removed them. This place was not for us. The ambiance was bright with tables. A huge wine area.

We drove two hours through interstate and toll road rush hour traffic for a hospital test at 5 PM…read more Ahead of time we had searched Yelp for a place to dine afterwards while letting rush hour traffic abate for our return trip. Taste on Main was best rated and the menu sounded intriguing. We arrived 45 minutes early, and the Maître D' graciously found us a table even though we expressed our willingness to wait. Our server knew the menu well, and the food flowed with perfect timing. The ambiance of a remodelled historic building with modern functionality was both relaxing and refreshing. We were especially pleased with our four telephone calls before hand to the manager about seating if it rained, reservations, and parking. Emily answered each call and was so helpful, and it is a nice touch that the manager interacts directly with the patrons. Each food item was excellent: 1) Mixed Greens Salad (mixed greens, seasonal fruit, candied pecans, manchego cheese, crispy shallots, red wine vinaigrette); 2) Cioppino (clams, mussels, shrimp, fish, calamari, arrabiata-fish brodo, foccacia); 3) 5 oz MTX Petite Filet; 4) Dulce De Leche Crème Brûlée (caramelized dulce de leche base topped with a crackly, burnt sugar shell)

I dont even know where to start. Can I advocate for less stars…read more Maybe to save you some time and money, my recommendation would be to not eat here. One of the worst meals I have ever had. And I paid $250 FOR THE WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD! Place was cool. People were nice. But very unorganized. All the food was . Bland. Undercooked. Disappointing. Drinks were so bad. Old fashioned was the worst I have ever had. the worst. Wine was no better than 2 buck chuck. Basically tasted like old fermented juice. Let's go item by item shall we. Calamari - so bland and chewy. Supporting sauces were underwhelming. Tuna tartare - bitter. Sour. Flavorless. The buttered bread that came with it was the best part and didn't even go well. Try a cracker. Cesar salad - why in the hell would you put salt and vinegar potato chips in this. SERIOUSLY. Red snapper - chewy and over cooked. Steak filet - soooooooo bland. Brussels sprouts - oddly ok. Just a little undercooked. Potato's - the most UNDERCOOKED thing I have ever seen. It was like a blind grandma who smoked all her life tried to peel and cook potatoes while tossing cheese on it. No joke we could not get out of there quick enough. Literally pulled through a drive through right after and spent 15$ on tacos and had a much better meal. DO BETTER.
