Our waitress was a total superstar and took great care of us with service and answering questions. We even joked about Star Trek a bit. I ordered the Rose salad and some roasted potatoes (Bravas Rosas). The potatoes were really delicious and well-seasoned with crunchy and soft parts and a nice spicy dipping sauce. I wanted to love the salad because it was large and well-dressed, BUT the lettuce was gritty and could've used a more thorough rinse. I ended up not eating much of it because the texture wasn't good. One of my friends got the Rose Salad Pie which she really enjoyed (basically a pizza with Rose Salad on top) and my other friend got the gazpacho which really liked. I would definitely come back and try some other dishes. If I do, I'll update the review!

This was genuinely one of the most bizarre dining experiences we've ever had. We sat there for…read morenearly an hour simply trying to get a glass of wine. Our server repeatedly came over to our area and waited on every table around us, yet somehow our wine never came. At one point, I actually walked up to him to ask about our order, and he asked me what table we were sitting at, as if he's never seen me- even though he had already spoken to us. The entire interaction was incredibly strange. After another 15 minutes of waiting, with still no wine and no one checking on us, we finally said we were just going to leave. Only then did he tell us, "Sorry, the ticket never printed." But during all that time, he never once checked to see why our wine hadn't come out or followed up on the order. Meanwhile, the bartender was standing there with virtually no one to serve. We were honestly baffled by the entire experience. We weren't asking for anything complicated--we just wanted a glass of wine--and after nearly an hour we left without ever receiving it. The whole situation was so strange, uncomfortable, and poorly handled that we will absolutely not be returning.

I met my friend at Postino today for a little catch-up, and it was a great experience! I love all…read morethe restaurant/food options at One Paseo, so I'm glad I finally got to try this one. We came at a bit of an odd time, so they had plenty of seating. In terms of food, my friend and I ordered a build-your-own bruschetta board. From most to least favorite, I'd rank the flavors as follows: 1) sweet n spicy pepper jam/goat cheese, 2) Mexican street corn, 3) smoked salmon/pesto, 4) mozzarella/tomato/basil. I think the goat cheese one looks very unassuming, but it was super flavorful! Mexican street corn was also a unique option I'd recommend. And for all of these options, the bread was delicious, toasted yet not too crunchy. I loved the presentation of this! We also ordered two drinks. I got the strawberry gin blossom cocktail. It was good, pretty sweet, and didn't taste too strongly of alcohol. Service was also amazing. I sprained my ankle, so I've been on crutches, and the host was very considerate in seating me somewhere accessible. Our waiters were very attentive, too! There was seating inside and outside the restaurant. I think sitting outside would be nice at night! There is also a clean bathroom inside. I never have too much trouble with parking at OnePaseo. Overall, I liked Postino, would recommend it, and would return here! I think I want to return at night--it would be so vibey sitting outside, catching up with friends. I'll be back!

They cut the bruschetta into fourths so the last piece needed to be split between 3 people. There were always people checking on us and making sure to ask if we wanted anything else.

Great for a date or a girl's night out or a solo treat yourself. They have a large variety of wine from all over. And their menu has some light fare or full dishes if you want to have dinner. Everything smelled really good coming out of the kitchen. I got a wine flight for $20 and the champagne nachos. I already ate dinner but our friend recommended this, so we had to try it. Perfect for a light snack. I really enjoyed my flight and bought one of the bottles. Ended up getting a bottle from Portugal as well from their shop at the door. If you don't feel like sitting to have a glass of wine, you can pick up a bottle and enjoy it at home.

I was specifically looking for a tapas bar because we weren't particularly hungry and just wanted a…read morefew small bites alongside a good glass of wine. On the wine front, Gata absolutely delivers. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, and it's the kind of place where one glass quickly turns into two because there are simply too many interesting options to pass up. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to matching either the quality of the wine program or the price point. We ordered the deviled eggs, which turned out to be hard-boiled eggs sliced in half with a piece of ham placed on top. When you order deviled eggs, you generally expect, well... the eggs to actually be deviled. We mentioned our disappointment to the bartender, who was wonderful, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. The explanation was that this is simply their interpretation of deviled eggs. Fair enough, but it wasn't an interpretation that worked for us. Ironically, the standout dish of the evening was the pigs in blankets, which is not a sentence I ever expected to write about an upscale wine bar. They were delicious, but they also raised the question of why the rest of the menu wasn't reaching the same level. Looking back, we realized we were the only people actually eating while everyone else was there for the wine. In hindsight, that should have been the clue. I only wish someone had mentioned that before we made the trip over expecting a tapas experience. Gata has so much potential. The atmosphere is lovely, the wine selection is excellent, and the staff were fantastic. If the small plates eventually rise to the level of the wine program, this place could be truly special. Until then, I'd absolutely recommend it for drinks, but probably not for dinner.

The quality of everything was really good and the flavors were all there. Favorite bites were probably the croquetas (perfectly crispy and everything was well balanced with the meat and bechamel) and the arroz negra (rice was PERFECTLY cooked, good flavor, shrimp was well cooked).

The ambiance was incredibly warm, beachy, and romantic- perfect for a date night or girl's night. A truly beautiful space with an equally impressive menu! The entire night was filled with good bites only! To break it down: Seasonal Spritz: This was a sparkling wine with ginger, white peach, and citrus. So bright and refreshing! Honestly, my ideal spritz. Crudo: Highly recommend this starter! It featured thick cuts of yellowtail, watermelon, cucumber, ginger, thai chili, and thai basil. Really clean and fresh. I was surprised by the amount of fish we got! Local Catch: Another winner. This was roasted yellowtail with summer bean, tomato ragout, and Jimmy Nardello peppers. Absolutely no notes! Rigatoni: Our standout dish of the night! It featured summer squash, saffron butter squash blossoms, blistered tomatoes, and parmesan. I'm not usually a fan of cream based pastas, but this one blew me away. The veggies really brightened things up and I felt like I could eat plates and plates of this. If you get one thing, please let it be this! Since we mentioned in the res that we were celebrating, they brought out complementary champagne at the start of the meal. Loved that they treated us to cheeky little drinks- we're not the biggest fan of sweets!

Wonderful brewery that I occasionally visit for a monthly meeting I have here…read more Tonight when I came here, parking lot was fully packed. I parked further back on the street near the light, easier to walk a little vs trying to fight for a spot. They have a good truck here but I have never had it. There were a few parties happening here tonight and I eventually found my group upstairs. I didnt want an alcoholic beer tonight and its nice they have a few non alcoholic options and I had NA IPA tonight. Cost was $5. I love this brewery and it's in such a large space.

Of I could, I'd give 4.5 stars. Met up with friends who were visiting from out of town. They used to be local, but moved. Part of a surprise birthday party for one of them, and they'd gathered all of us for a reunion. The front area was pretty full. It was loud with activity, but the staff was awesome and brought over a few tables and barrels for us to use for a few hours. It was definitely warmer in this space since the air conditioner is not connected, but it was great to be separated from the crowd and hear each other better. We were closer to the axe throwing and golf/soccer simulator too. I heard there is a small arcade in the main dining/drinking area. There is a charge to throw axes, but it was already reserved/booked until about 4-5 pm and our party was wrapping up around 3 pm. There's no kitchen, but food trucks are parked outside for anyone who is hungry. The nachos, burgers, and pretzel bites were very good. Restroom are located in that area between the main space in front and where we were in the back. Clean rest rooms. I saw that there are some rooms on the second floor, accessible by stairs, but I saw an elevator too. A lot of parking spaces. Handicap parking located close to the entrance with a ramp to access it. Since we did not gather in the main area, I did not get to check out the tables and spacing thoroughly. From this visit, Alesmith looks like a great place to gather and kickback with adults with good eats and brews. Not too many kids or kid-activities, but there's no restrictions on having kids there. Check with Alesmith first before you go.
