We sat at the bar and the gentleman gave us some background on the facility and also allowed us to sample some of the wines that were made there.

I was pleased with the customer service I received and I will go back again for a more extensive tour of the entire facility.

Loads of free parking, which is unique downtown. I went for lunch and got the Italian panini sandwich. The bread is toasted extra crispy and is filled with all kinds of stuff. Lots of flavor. Very good. It came with a side salad that was a cut above what I expected. With an iced tea and tax my lunch total was $14.75. Slightly above the average downtown but the quantity and quality was above average too. The place was empty except for me. Give them a try! Park there and ask if it's okay to leave your car in their lot while you walk around downtown. I'm on a mission to try all of the 50+ restaurants for lunch downtown. It's a fun assignment! The waitress was nice and my food came quickly.

Our sever, Hanna, was attentive and patient with our questions about the menu and specials. The prices were inline with the exceptional fresh quality of food. Because of the prices, we opted to split an entree and enjoy a bottle of wine with our food. The crab cakes, cream of crab soup, grilled shrimp, and scallops were the best we have ever enjoyed. We hope we will see a new location for the restaurant in San Diego in the near future.

I suppose you could say it is better than other restaurants in the area but that's about it for me. And that alone is not something that would get me to go back. I'm just tired of spending money at average places. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything to write home about and I don't love leaving a meal thinking "did I really spend that much for that?"

Ah yes, another high tech pour house. The owner told me he saw this type of setup elsewhere and…read moredecided to open his own place...and this is it! So this place has numerous taps on the wall with everything from water to meads. But most are beers, ales, lagers, and seltzers. For this type operation, patrons are given a wristband that you scan at each tap you wish to try. To activate the wristband, you have to input your credit card info with the cashier (which is who gives you the wristband. After which, you pour as much or little as you want as you are charged by the ounce (prices vary but are labeled by each tap). There are inverted water spigots to rinse your glass should you change your drink of choice. We sampled a few different ones and they were pretty good. They also serve food here (we didn't try anything). There is some outside seating as well. But no one was seated there cause it was cold outside. The owner was pleasant and the atmosphere was chill mid-afternoon, mid-week. it's all paid street parking or fee-based public lots (monitored).

The meatball appetizer was three mini meatballs. I've seen meatballs on sub sandwiches bigger than these. The lasagna, was really without any sauce. It was a bolognese sauce. Also it lacked the stretchy cheese pull that one expects from a lasagna. The pasta dishes from what I tried was a little to al dente, there was too much chew in the pasta. That said for the prices that they charge to not offer a side salad or at least some bread with the meal is disappointing.

The food is amazing. For appetizers I would recommend getting the focaccia and meatballs. Entree wise, I would HIGHLY recommend splitting the Pappardelle e Ragú di Maiale Bianco and something else with another one of your table mates. The portion size is perfect for one person but you'll want to try more than one item. If you are there in the summer, you must try the Tomato Martini (PLEASE bring it back for next summer's menu!). The service and ambiance of Osteria Stella and Brother Wolf is what completely sets them apart. OS is a high class, quiet, romantic restaurant with dark colors and knowledgeable servers who value your experience. BW is simply a high end bar. That said, BW is much more fast paced and really my only complaint, the music was absurdly loud the night we were there for dinner and the restaurant was crowded, so everyone was trying to talk over the music and you almost had to yell to even hear the person sitting right beside you. If going to OS, you would likely need reservations, especially on a weekend. With BW, they don't take reservations to my knowledge and it's a free for all for an open seat at the bar or an open table. Really the difference is what kind of vibe you're going for.

Sadly, it was a letdown from start to finish. * Timing: We had to wait a long time between courses -- first the salads, then quite a gap before the entrées arrived. * Food temperature: Nothing came out hot. Not cold, but lukewarm at best. * Steak: Came out undercooked (still red inside) and had to be sent back. * Baked potatoes: Not fully cooked, had to request replacements. * Shrimp: No seasoning at all, just bland. * Salads: Looked like they were poured straight from a bag -- clumped together and unappealing. * Clam strips: My mom's were fried so hard they were chewy and unpleasant. * Overall taste: Most of the fried food seemed to be just heavy breading tossed into grease with no real seasoning. By the time more issues came up, I didn't even want to keep sending things back -- we just tried to eat what we could. This was supposed to be a special night out, but the quality and execution of the food didn't come close to matching the price. Everything looked better than it tasted, and it's not a place I can recommend based on this visit. (Photos attached show the actual dishes we received.) I didn't get the picture of my boyfriend's steak because at the time it had to be sent back. So I added his lobster tail to my plate with the shrimp
