Wow, what an amazing experience! I started my Birthday weekend solo. On Yelp suggestion, I decided…read moreto have dinner at Laguna Grill. I was immediately greeted by very helpful wait staff who offered a short wait for a table or immediate seating at the bar. I will always choose bar when dining solo. It's such a great way to interact!!! I got the house margarita and it was easily one of the best house mixes I've ever ordered! The chips and salsa were amazing as you could tell they were both made from scratch!! For dinner I had the Chipotle Shrimp Relleno...so good!!! 10 outta 10 bomb! Then I ordered a shot of "the good stuff" I offered the wait staff to join me but they very politely declined:( The experience was so fantastic that I returned two nights later with my spouse. That meal consisted of the Tamarind (real fruit) margarita, passion fruit vodka something or other, 2 shrimp tacos and a chicken (+ shrimp) burrito. We were both incredibly happy with our dinner. I shall return at some later date and stay until closing so that I can kick it with the most beautiful staff!!!

I don't think I was fully prepared for what was about to happen when I sat down at this Mexican…read morerestaurant, because what started as a normal meal quickly turned into something borderline spiritual. Everything was going great--the atmosphere, the service, all of it--but then the chips and salsa arrived. At first, it seemed standard: warm, crispy chips and a fresh-looking salsa. But the moment I took a bite, it genuinely felt like my entire sense of taste reset. The salsa had this perfect balance of heat, acidity, and freshness that was almost unreal. It wasn't just good--it was the kind of flavor that makes you stop mid-conversation and just process what just happened. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that after a few more bites, I fully transcended. Time stopped meaning anything. The noise of the restaurant faded out. It felt like I had a direct, life-changing encounter with something greater than myself... all through a bowl of salsa. I just sat there in silence, staring at the table, trying to comprehend how something so simple could taste that incredible. Apparently, I was gone for a while. Long enough that the staff started to get concerned. Next thing I know, I'm being gently brought back to reality by one of the servers asking if I was okay. I tried to explain what I had just experienced, but I don't think "I just met God through your salsa" is something they hear every day. At that point, I may have still been a little too overwhelmed to function like a normal person, because the staff actually ended up helping me out the door. Not in a bad way--they were super kind about it--but I think they could tell I was still processing whatever just happened. Even now, I'm not entirely sure how to explain it, but I do know one thing: that was not just a meal. That was an experience. And if you go, just be warned--the chips and salsa might change you.

Fantastic Experience at The Cove - Don't Miss Trivia Night!…read more We originally came to The Cove for a wine tasting with 2205--which was a fantastic experience on its own. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the space felt comfortable and relaxed, perfect for sitting back and catching up with friends. That's how we learned about their Trivia Night, and we're so glad we came back for it! We visited The Cove for Trivia Night and had an amazing time! I came with my husband and my dad--it was my dad's first trivia experience, and my husband and I have done a few before. This one was by far our favorite. There were five rounds, including a music and movie section that was our groups favorite. Everyone got to contribute, which made it even more enjoyable. The host was engaging and kept things running smoothly and upbeat. The service was wonderful and personable--you can really tell they care about what they've created. The space is beautiful inside and out, with great vibes and plenty of seating. We ordered the wine cocktail--so good!!!! It's located close to downtown Chelan, and while there is parking, it's also easily walkable from most spots in the area. I'd recommend making a reservation, especially for trivia night. We're not local, but we'll absolutely be back--this place is a gem!

It's…read moredefinitely way more of a restaurant than a tasting room, but they were okay with us just doing wine. We did end up splitting a Cesar salad for food and it was completely average, don't remember it well. I guess that's a good thing since it was exactly what I expected. The wine tasting comes in a tower so you can drink at your own pace, which is great! This allowed us to drink at our own speeds and we were a little tired of hearing about wine after many other stops, so it was great to have an independent experience. It's lovely here! Perfect spot for sunset. We barely interacted with our server since we were the only outdoor table, but that was fine.

Which would be fine, except their outdoor seating is extremely dirty and due to the amount of trees around, covered in pollen. So it almost felt like second class or a punishment. I slapped the chair cushion and it was like it had never been dusted before. Not that I expect the outdoor seating to be clean at all times, I would expect a higher end place like this that features wine on their menu to make an effort to keep things tidy for all guests. The food itself, was actually pretty good. The deep fried artichoke seriously missed the mark in seasoning and presentation (maybe have the sauce on the side to dip?) but the steak and short ribs were amazingly tasty. Great flavors. We also did a wine flight and the wines were very good as well. One of the glasses still had lipstick on it unfortunately. A couple of the glasses looked rushed to clean. It was replaced and all was well. But still.. attention to details here seems to be an issue. If you come here, make a reservation. Sit inside. Might have a better experience. Get the short ribs or steak and some wine and it will be a lovely experience.

I just wish we could've eaten here as we loved our craft cocktails and the vibes. Copper Glance is known for their craft cocktails with high-quality spirits and ingredients. Everything on the cocktail menu is worth trying, really! Our friendly server who ended up helping us the two times we came here was knowledgeable about all the drinks, so made perfect recommendations for us. I honestly can't say which is my favorite because they were all fantastic in their own way. Because we had our dog with us, we sat out on the patio, which was nice. On a sunny day, they even turned on the misters for us, which we appreciated and asked why more places don't offer this! Located in the main town area of Winthrop, it was walking distance to where we were staying and is near other restaurants and businesses. I'd love to visit again whenever I come back to the Methow Valley.
