For some reason, I thought the steak special was on Thursday, but nope--it's actually Tuesday…read more Still ordered the steak because, honestly, why not treat myself? It's $25 at regular price with no Old Fashioned (sad face), but holy cow was it deeeeeelicious! Get the peppercorn sauce. TRUST ME. That sauce deserves its own Instagram account. Seriously, bottle that stuff and call me--I'll buy it by the gallon. Omgeeeee yummmm. My friend's plate? Yeah... a whole different story. The birria was so dry, and no consomé on the side? Rude. Definitely wouldn't recommend or order it again. Also, shoutout to the lone ranger working the restaurant/bar. This guy was taking orders, mixing drinks. When he forgot our drink refills, I was like, "Dude, you've got enough on your plate." Poor guy was straight-up doing the most. Someone give him a raise. Parking was good for a weekday and ambiance was really chill. I'd definitely come again. Come check them out! You can thank me laters!

A friend at the table ordered the Zombie Cocktail from Sin Ship Spirits. It was 19.5% ABV but tasted delicious. Dangerous!!! Glad I wasn't drinking lunch that day... I would not have survived. Service was excellent and our food came out super fast. The indoor/outdoor layout made the place feel airy. There were tons of different seating options from bar seats, to booths, counters to stand at. Street parking wasn't too bad either. In addition to the great alcohol drinks, they had a self serve soda machine and a few other nonalcoholic options.

Trivia usually starts at 6 pm, but they pushed it back because of the Padres game. The service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered a cocktail off their menu then asked for a cucumber martini, and they had no problem making it. It turned out great. We shared the pizza, wings, and fries, and everything tasted great. The service was awesome all night despite how busy they were. Overall, such a fun night. Great energy, good food, and delicious drinks. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

It wasn't too busy so we were able to walk in and seat ourselves. - PARKING - North Park is always tough with finding a parking spot but we just circled around until we got one walkable distance away. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We were greeted promptly after sitting down and since we were waiting on friends to join, we delayed ordering but the staff was very attentive the moment they came in. After ordering we got our food pretty soon after. It's dimly lit inside but you can still see one another across the tables. They also have sports playing on the TVs. - FOOD - Honey Brussels Sprouts: Pretty crispy but it was slightly overly honey-ed for me. Some clumps had way too much honey and I felt like I was just getting a spoonful of sweetness. Wings: Standard chicken wings, but the Lemon Pepper Seasoning was way too heavy, so it was pretty salty for some bites. Fried Chicken Sandwich: Loved the tater tots - super crispy just like I like them! The chicken sandwich was just OK for me - the chicken itself was a little dry, but the seasonings were good. - OVERALL - Just an OK spot for bites and drinks. I don't know if I'd come back but if everywhere else was too busy, I wouldn't mind stopping in.

I am glad I took the opportunity to return because my first visit was hit and miss, but this time…read morearound it was all a hits. I noticed that they downsized the menu with a focus on quality of ingredients and execution. That being said, I had the one protein plate with smoked brisket, kale salad, and their "chente Bean." The meal also came with two Hawaiian rolls and sauces. For my dessert, I had the limoncello cake. I crunched on the kale salad first and it was excellent. The salad provided great texture from the candied cinnamon pecans and garlic butter croutons. The combination of the Romain plus the kale was very smart, and the lemon parsley vinaigrette was terrific. I was very impressed on the quality of the dressing. It had a great balance of acidity and a touch of sweetness. The smoked brisket was terrific. I failed to have on my first visit because I had the turkey, but wow this brisket was great. The brisket came with a nice smoke ring with a good mild smoke flavor throughout the eating process. It was very tender and presented at the perfect temp too. I love that medium to medium rare temp. The brisket was delicious. The beans were tasty, the rolls were soft and warm, and the sauces were tasty. I thought the beans were whole beans, but these re-fried beans worked nicely. Oh yes, the limoncello cake was amazing. There was no holding back on the limoncello in the creation of this cake. Great dessert. Service was provided by Karlie who was super nice. She had an adorable personality and was quite helpful. Don't tell anyone but she showed me the Top Secret Speakeasy, but you did not hear it from me. However, it was very cool indeed.

I learn from other people that the fermentation process can last couple years and not gone bad. Personally I can't say much of their products being it's my first time tasting it.

Hehhehehe I didn't try their food. Or was the food stands theirs?! No clue.

My first time at Seven Caves was December 2024. We went to celebrate our friend's birthday…read more Seven Caves is located directly next door to Embolden Brewing Company. The signage is small so keep an eye out. The owner, Jeff, is a riot! We did a tasting that was curated by him and our love for libations. He makes all of his spirits himself. His distillery started with gin which is why I'd never been because I don't like gin for any reason. I would love to say that I remember the different cocktails that he whipped up for us but we drank a lot and that was months ago. LOL. I can say everything was outstanding! My favourite was this fluffy daiquiri ice (Baskin Robbin's ice cream I love) flavoured cocktail that was indescribable but so stinking delicious. When our tasting was done we all lined up to purchase bottles. I bought a bottle of rum which was my favourite libation of the evening. I've been told the maple syrup and the pancake mix he sells is a must to buy so definitely go check it out. Looking forward to our next tasting, Jeff!

Every time I've come in, the atmosphere has been relaxed, the pours have been great, and the conversation has always been enjoyable -- to the point that I've ended up bringing home quite a few bottles over the years. The bartender has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to talk through their offerings without making things feel rushed or overly formal. On one visit I ended up trying a whiskey made from beer -- something I'd never come across before -- and it ended up being one of my more memorable pours I've had there. That kind of discovery is exactly what keeps me coming back, and it speaks to the range they carry beyond the usual whiskey offerings and rye-focused selections. I can only speak to my own experience, but this has easily become one of my favorite local tasting rooms.

We were really looking forward to going and…read moregetting an introduction to their products and having the chance to sample some different options side by side. Unfortunately the guy working the tasting room wasn't really interested in us or the products but made us feel more like we were intruding on his afternoon. He offered no insights into the various products and instead focused on his problems with his wife and his outside interests. We went specifically to taste ryes and he insisted that they don't make a high rye even though when we got home we found a listing for their Cali Gold High Rye. He is doing a disservice to the distillery by continuing to work there. The place could be cosy and inviting with a different server.

Went here last night for a tasting because my sister had a Groupon…read more This place is an actual distillery and the whiskey is made here. The tasting room is tiny. There were four of us and we were at max capacity. Mike the owner is really nice. He explained all of the whiskey and bourbon and how it was made. He also makes moonshine. When I say this stuff is strong!! Please believe!!! 3 tastings and we were lit! This was something new and I enjoyed it. Mike is a cool dude. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the place reeked of smoke when we walked in. That was off putting. But all in all it was a good time.

Mike Curphy has been distilling alcohol for 5 decades. His product and stories shows that. Mike allows three tastings of any of his selection with the purchase of a bottle. Each selection has a story behind it and Mike brings the bottle to life. I tried many of his spirits but often find myself leaving with a bottle of his sipping cream. Similar to Bailey's, or even more so, Jamaican rum cream. Very versatile cream you can sip on the rocks, in coffee, or how Mike suggests, over vanilla bean ice cream. Great service and selection will keep bringing me back for more stories and a sip or two of his finest.
