I really wanted to enjoy Tazza Kitchen. The food was actually really good, which somehow made the…read morewhole experience even more frustrating. When we first walked in, the place was pretty crowded, but we were able to grab a couple spots at the bar and figured we'd settle in for a good night. That's where things went sideways. The bartender appeared to be the only one working, and while I understand being busy, the attitude and behavior were honestly shocking. Every interaction felt aggressive. Remotes getting slammed around. Napkins and pens tossed onto the counter. Water being splashed onto the floor like a toddler throwing a tantrum. The entire atmosphere at the bar felt tense and uncomfortable. It got to the point where we almost felt awkward ordering anything because every request seemed like it was ruining their night. At one point another couple sat down next to us and almost immediately started looking around like, "is this really happening right now?" I actually ended up warning them that no, they weren't imagining it, and that it had been our experience the entire time too. That alone should tell you how uncomfortable the atmosphere was. Which is unfortunate because the kitchen actually did their part. The food was good. Really good. But good food only carries a place so far when the service makes you want to leave before the meal even arrives. I've worked in and around hospitality long enough to understand busy nights happen. But there's a huge difference between being overwhelmed and taking it out on customers. Tazza Kitchen has the food figured out. Now they just need the front of house experience to match it.

I went to the Southside location once and got the world's worst service. I had actually forgotten…read moreabout that when someone suggested we go to the Short Pump one. Unfortunately, there was still not great service again. The server was professional and polite... but he wasn't present. Someone else brought our food out. He checked on us for the first time when we were almost done eating. I had to ask the hostess for the check. The food was just okay. If it had been amazing, that might have been worth waiting for, but it was forgettable. The menu is blah and standard. Nothing exciting. The flavors, meh. I got the arugula and proscuitto pizza last time. Someone at our table got that this time. It looked really dry. I ordered salmon because I thought you can't mess it up. It was just okay. The ambiance, it's like a typical mainstream place. Pretty cookie cutter. The parking lot is really tight. There really is nothing to recommend this place.

I could eat it every day. My cousins had the drunken noodles and crab fried rice. We also had the veggie gyozas and fried Crab Rangoon. I wish the crab rangoon was crispier, but it was still good. MPM is a very cute space. I love the design of tiki bars and I think it's the best place for a first date or girls day out. I will be returning to check out their happy hour and specialty cocktails.

There were six of us looking for a fun night out and decided on The Wine Whisperer since it had…read moregreat reviews, had been on my list to try, and none of us had been before. What a great decision! When you walk in, you immediately notice that all of the wines are beautifully displayed -- it doubles as a wine shop, which gives it such a warm and welcoming vibe. It feels cozy but elevated at the same time. They don't offer flights for groups larger than five, but we were able to order one dealer's choice flight based on our preferred flavor profiles. From there, we could select a bottle inspired by the flight. A few of us gravitated toward reds. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable -- we told her the flavor profiles we liked, and she brought out three reds to try. The Wade & Wayfarer Pinot Noir was our favorite (so good!), though a bit pricier. We also tried the Alkoorai Cab/Merlot blend, which ended up being our least favorite. Ultimately, we chose the Denner Nightshade GSM -- excellent pick. Bonus tip: if you purchase a bottle $50 or more, there's no corkage fee; under $50, there is. Our waitress also mentioned that South American Merlots are the best Merlots as we all mentioned Merlot tends to be more dry. A few in our group ordered the Masterpiece Theatre cocktail on our waitress's recommendation -- she did not steer us wrong! Food-wise, everything was a hit. Our friends ordered the Cacio e Pepe burrata, pickled shrimp, Caesar salad, mushroom and leek flatbread, and the Brie and pear flatbread (both flatbreads were huge!). They loved every dish. My husband and I shared the bread with olive oil (simple and delicious), the charred octopus (tender with amazing flavor), gnocchi Bolognese, and lamb chops. Everything was fantastic -- the only small note was that the lamb could've been a bit more rare -- but still very flavorful. By the end of the night, all six of us agreed we'd absolutely be back. We're even looking into their wine club -- $60/month for two bottles (pickup required at the shop), which honestly sounds like a great deal. Apparently, they change up their wine flights weekly, which makes it even more fun and gives us a reason to return. Such a great experience all around -- can't wait to go back and try more wines!

You can try another if the first is not to your liking! The food is excellent, with it all being house made. Everything from flatbread to lamb chops. Wines by flights or the glass are changed weekly, so you get to try lots of new wines. You may choose a wine from the shop to go with your dinner if you prefer. No corkage with wines $50 or more. They also have wine tastings several evening per week with minimal charges. Knowledgeable servers and bartender. There is a small bar also, so beer and drinks are also available. We have gone multiple times with different friends and everyone has loved our evenings.

We got a south rim shrimp flatbread and devil's pass dip (essentially a buffalo chicken dip) as starters. The portion for the flatbread is quite small and just okay.

I ordered the STH burger which had pepper jack cheese, jicama slaw and a sweet chili glaze (which was not too sweet) and overall was cooked to medium as requested and delicious. A nice option for a relatively casual atmosphere though be prepared for it to be bustling/busy!

The second night, Nate was behind the bar and was just as wonderful. Even in the middle of a rush, he stayed kind, attentive, and on top of everything. Between the two nights, I had margaritas, and my sister tried both the Bloody Mary and the amaretto sour. Every drink we had was excellent.
