Brandon was our server, and he was great. It seemed a bit busy that night, so there were times when we were waiting on an order, but he was friendly and kind and gave great recs. Ordered a bottle of white wine. He gave a great recommendation for a crisp white wine. I would not come with people who don't drink alcohol. The options are pretty slim. And sad lol. The food surprised me! Quite good. We got the mezza with the whipped feta and it was so good! Also got the burrata salad and it was fresh and delicious! Loved the tiger prawn dish! If you like tapas you will love it because it has chorizo in it and what looks and tastes like saffron. Would definitely return!

We stopped in for a couple glasses of their 2023 Extra Brut Sparkling wine ($19). They offer lite bites like charcuterie boards and pizzas from a restaurant next door (North Italia), but we were headed to dinner and didn't partake on this visit. WINES: The wines are well made, complex, and tasty. I'm not usually a huge fan of sparkling wines, but their '23 Extra Brut is amazing! Per bottle prices are reasonable for the quality of the wines. Parking can be difficult, but we once again used the public parking garage about half a block away. Another good experience and I'm sure we'll be back to try the new vintages of their fine wines.

Service: Really nice workers. good service here. food/drinks: a charcuterie board was $60 here, to me that's overpriced.

The staff that I did get to interact with were very helpful and friendly. It was 86-90 degrees out but definitely felt like 100 degrees. We got seating outside with an umbrella but we were dripping in sweat. FYI there are no fans or other equipment to keep the guest cool. The portable bathroom was much cooler inside than outside. The winery itself is beautiful with stunning views. There are plenty of photo-op-worthy places as well. The pizza was expensive but the quality was great and there were enough slices to go around for 4 girls. The white wine called honey pie was my favorite (I am not very knowledgeable about wine, so just keep that in mind) Overall, I think this place was okay. would try this place again but maybe during the cooler seasons.

It's a café during the day and serves wine in the evening, along with snacks like popcorn, charcuterie, and cheese boards. I ordered the sangria, which was delicious. The staff made it fresh and brought it to my table--a lovely touch. They were friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. The prices were reasonable. If I remember correctly, the boards were around $10-$12, and the sangria and wine were similarly priced. I also loved the unique wine glasses. The space has small tables for one or two people and longer, picnic-style tables if you're with a group or don't mind sharing. Dogs are welcome, and there were two adorable ones there that night! Parking was easy, with a lot, street parking with generous time limits, and another lot across the street. The jazz was wonderful, and the atmosphere made it easy to unwind. I'd happily come back after work or for a relaxed weekend visit. Highly recommend!

"There's still a Fred Segal?!?"…read more Because last I heard, they were all closed. So my curiosity got the best part of me and asked Hubbers if we can take a look around. He agreed. This ended up being a stop for him! I'm guessing they're still in the process of transitioning from Fred Segal to the now Summer Somewhere Wines stop. So.... Im not a wine fiend, but Hubbers is. He asked if we could just hangout here for a bit to try a white. "Of course!" I tell him. Marquis was our server and I gotta say, off the bat he was sooooooo friendly and welcoming. He answered all of Hubbers' questions regarding their products until he finally decided on one. I asked for water as I got parched from all the walking we did prior to coming through. Marquis checked on us after awhile, and he dreaded the fact he forgot to bring me my water. He felt really bad, I told him it wasn't a big deal and to bring me one when he got the chance. He did me one better and comp'd it for me. Sweet! It really was a good 20-minute chill. Hubbers enjoyed his sips, I enjoyed people watching as I sipped through my water and Marquis made the experience much better. Great first run!

Great wines and good times at Haley's Wines!…read more Popped in today to pick up a little gift for bae, wine and dark chocolate for a night in? Yes, please :) Everyone hanging out at the bar was super fun and friendly. And the super cool staff here is extra thoughtful. The have a very unique selection of red, white, rose and sparkling, including some skin contact (Orange wine), seltzers and other beverage gems in their multi-door fridge/cold box near the front end of Haley's. Incredible places to sit and lounge throughout. Feels like a slice of home, but everyone is invited and there's wine! Think I need a work day here or several. Perfect place for a day or night time sip, thoughtful snacks on their menu and to enjoy with a friend or two. Lots of vegan friendly finds and as an also Wine Specialist for 15 years I know my way around wine and love discovering new labels as well as ones from all over the world. Local, Hungarian, Argentinian, French, Italian, Haley's has a little of it all. Haley also supports the community in a big way with a cool bulletin area and display showcasing lots of services, business cards and local happenings. Easy stroll from North Hollywood station, LA Metro services and parking garages. Street parking is around, side streets and further up can be your friend, but if you know this part of North Hollywood in the NoHo Arts District, you know parking can be a journey. Rideshare is fairly easy here. And when having a glass a two, drinking responsibly is also good for you. Restroom available for customers. Wine Shop neon sign is something I need to see more in my life. Not to mention all the great artwork for sale on their walls. Open Wednesday through Sunday as early as 2PM during weekdays and as early as Noon on weekends. Closing hour vary on special nights and pop ups, such as Trivia Thursdays (open until 9pm), or that cool Dumpling Pop up that was happening the day I popped in. Good vibes, upright piano and perfect lighting that's waiting for you. Haley's Wines is top tier fun, classes, special events and then some, so raise a glass and cheers to this gem waiting for you!

Based in Santa…read moreClarita, Byron Blatty focuses on limited-edition, hand-crafted wines made with grapes from family-owned vineyards in Los Angeles. They recently opened a tasting room in Highland Park, so I stopped in to check it out. The tasting room is quaint & cozy. 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. Al recently started working here, and she has amazing energy. Mark is also very personable and enthusiastic about his wine. 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. I even bought a bottle to take home. I will most definitely be back to enjoy more of these delicious wines and an enjoyable conversation with Al.

We didn't get any mains, we only had appetizers. The salmon bites are TO DIE FOR !!!!! I think about them every day, I am not exaggerating. I had their house Sav Blanc, which was good!

Unfortunately, I cannot give this restaurant any more chances…read more My cousin chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday, and I was happy to join her. I had visited shortly after they first opened, and that experience was unpleasant, but I kept that to myself because I didn't want to taint her birthday celebration. And for the record, my cousin enjoyed her dinner. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same. I have a garlic allergy, and apparently everything on the menu is prepared with garlic. After explaining my allergy, I was told that the chef could prepare a burger without the dressing or toppings, or I could have chicken without any sides. And here's the kicker: I would still be expected to pay full price for a meal with practically everything removed! Now, I dine out quite often, and I have never encountered a restaurant that offered such limited alternatives. I understand that restaurants have their own recipes and that not every kitchen can accommodate every allergy. But surely there is a better way to handle a guest's dietary restrictions. What makes this even more disappointing is that during my first visit, I explained my garlic allergy to the waitress, and she actually told me there was only a little garlic in my food and that I should be okay. A little garlic? What part of allergic is so difficult to understand? An allergy is not a preference. It is not a matter of being picky, and it certainly isn't something a guest should be encouraged to overlook. I wasn't asking for an entirely new menu or special treatment. I simply wanted a meal I could safely enjoy while celebrating my cousin's birthday. Two visits, two disappointing experiences. Unfortunately, there won't be a third.
