    Look...we'll be back. After all, they had only been open for a week when we visited, and everyone deserves a second chance! Please take my review as constructive criticism because I genuinely want this place to succeed. The Barrel Room is absolutely adorable. The decor is warm and inviting, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Just know that "intimate" also means it's a pretty small space. We visited on a busy Friday night, and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, which is understandable for a brand new business finding its footing. The wine selection is impressive, featuring a nice variety, including several great local wineries, including the owner's own varietal. Not a wine drinker? No worries, there are beers on tap, too. The food menu is currently small, offering flatbreads, dips, and charcuterie boards. My one suggestion would be to add a few less fancy, crowd pleasing appetizers alongside the current menu. A mix of elevated bites and everyday favorites would appeal to an even wider audience. One last note, the live music was talented and enjoyable, but in such a cozy space, it became the main event. We found ourselves shouting across the table just to have a conversation. Turning the volume down a notch would let guests enjoy both the music and each other's company. We'll definitely give The Barrel Room another try. I have a feeling this place is only going to get better. Cheers!

    This was our first visit to The Barrel Room and we were not disappointed. We grabbed a table by the window and settled in to enjoy a very roomy wine bar with an open and inviting atmosphere. We were greeted warmly by the staff, who allowed us to sample a few wines before landing on the ones we chose. We also ordered the prosciutto flatbread that arrived quickly and was friggin delicious. The decor, the local wines/beer and the delicious food were well worth the visit. Chad who is the owner came over and chatted with us, and gave us the scoop on how his vision came about. Folks this is a must visit, in downtown Vacaville. I hope everyone comes to support this local business!!

    It's like Napa in our backyard. We ordered a cocktail, beer flights. We shared truffle fries, adobo & the wild mushroom truffle flatbreads and charcuterie. The dishes are delicious and had room for dessert. Highly recommend the ube cheesecake & chocolate lava cake with ice cream. The flatbreads were incredible. Went with my husband & son. We are big foodies and we'll be back often.

    Found a new wine bar on a stroll after the Farmer's market. Beautiful spot to enjoy a delicious snack with very reasonably priced bubbly and wine. Our first time here and definitely won't be our last. While chatting with the owner found out they also have live music on Friday nights.

    The Barrel Room is one of our favorite spots in Vacaville! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and perfect for everything from casual evening and special celebration with family and friends. The wine selection, beer, and food is outstanding and the staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. If you're looking for memorable wine tasting experience in Vacaville or just a night out with friends. Barrel Room is definitely worth visiting.

    Back Door Bistro, Vacaville: 2026 Jul 10 (4.29 of 5)…read more Ladies Gathering!! The service here is a 4.5 of 5. We had different servers who attended to us and they're both friendly and looked cheerful. We got there towards the end of Happy Hour and was presented with their Happy Hour menu. The menu is small, easy to read and has almost everything we'd want for that time of day - including the drinks. The food is a 'hit' or 'miss'. Here's my review: Drinks: Both the Arnold Palmer and the Cadillac Margarita were good. My lemonade tea wasn't overly sweet and I could definitely taste the lemonade. The pitcher of Cadillac Margarita looks innocent but may give someone a slow and powerful buzz if you're not used to the drink. (4.75 of 5) Charcuterie: This a complete appetizer board. Overall, there were some hits and misses, however, we agreed this is a well thought out appetizer board. (4 of 5) Crispy Brussels Sprouts: This is the best dish here, featuring deeply caramelized, dark golden-brown edges and a nutty, earthy flavor. Their Crispy Brussels Sprouts is also the best we've had. The seasoning is on-point, allowing the texture to show off its crackling, crunchy bite on the outside, contrasted by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. (5 of 5) Seasonal Tacos: "Oh WOW!" The explosion of spicy and tangy flavours balanced by contrasting textures makes this dish "pop". (4.75 of 5) Beet Salad: The colours were lovely, but this beet salad was over-salted. The vibrant dish featuring beets as the main ingredient, balances the earthy sweetness with contrasting textures and flavours. If this wasn't too salty, it would have been more refreshing. (3.75 of 5) Coconut Lime Bouillabaisse (halibut, jasmine rice, spinach, snap pea, pickled shiitake mushroom, coconut lime broth, basil oil): Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bouillabaisse means seafood. The only seafood we noticed were chunks of halibut, which were delicious. This dish looks and tastes more like an elevated Thai soup dish that cost too much. (3.5 of 5) After walking in, we decided to sit outdoors because of the loud music that was playing. We're glad we did. The overhang on the veranda was well positioned with plants and flowers softening the cement walkway. The weather was pleasant - with a gentle breeze blowing down the corridor. Parking is easy if you arrive early enough. One last note: Back Door Bistro in Vacaville was featured on "Check, Please! Bay Area"

The rice paired perfectly with it and made every bite comforting and satisfying. The crispy chicken was another standout--golden, crunchy, and seasoned just right. It came with delicious dipping sauces, fresh cucumber, and green onions that added a nice balance to the dish. And the garlic rice was perfectly cooked with a wonderful texture and flavor. The portions were generous, everything came out looking beautiful, and you could tell the food was made with care. This is definitely a place I would come back to and recommend to anyone looking for flavorful, satisfying food. Great food, generous portions, and a really enjoyable dining experience. Definitely worth a visit!

The place serves authentic Thai dishes and it is best to share family style if you come with several people so that you can experience more dishes. Started with a Sake "Mohito". It was very good. Mild flavor and not crazy strong. I nursed it throughout my entire meal. The Fresh Spring Rolls were as the name advertised. Vegetarian with tofu inside. Interesting thing is that it was served with two sauces, but the traditional peanut sauce but also a Thai Sweet Chili sauce. I decided to combine both sauces onto my Spring Rolls. Surprisingly, the two sauces complemented each other pretty well. The Yellow Curry was smooth and thick (not watery like some places). Rich is flavor. I can probably just eat some plain rice with just the curry sauce and I would be happy. It's that good. The Crispy Chicken with Ginger Rice was a crowd favorite as well. The chicken itself was solid but pretty standard. The ginger rice added a unique flavor to the dish. I've never had ginger rice at a restaurant before. We also had a stir fry dish that was composed of asparagus and a protein of your choice. We chose chicken. It was also solid but not as unique as the other two entrees we had. Still same cute modern interior. It was VERY busy on a Saturday evening so service may be a bit slower. But the food was great and staff was very friendly.

They said we can go to the bar area. We get there and I mentioned I'm up for what is close to sweet and was given 2 choices and was able to sample taste each. The last one had a lingering taste so I opted for the lady that was helping us first choice. We asked for water and were given Fiji water bottles. I thought it would be included on the bill but was only charged for the glass of wine. She thanked us and I said I wanted to enter a tip but she said they don't ask. There was a tip jar but I don't carry cash. (Bring cash) We walked around and found the iconic side of palm tree way There were a few people taking photos and we sat at a table near by. When there wasn't anyone we took pictures (some people were far down the way but they were just behind me in my photos) while I checked what else I could have photograph, a few women wanted to take theirs. They asked if we could take their pictures and I opted to since I was a photographer back in my day. They posed and I took a few then I suggested a bit of a pose for them and they loved it. Another one said she came all the way from New York and I took a few for her as well, which she also loved. I definitely want to come back again, especially with the great first experience. I want to bring all my friends and take more pictures with all the great views (I want to walk all the way down the palm tree way next time)

So, I decided to try 1, realizing it is a different restaurant after having conversation. Well, the PIZZA was GREAT. I had made some request... lite sauce and for them not to cut it.
