    Tried this place again last Friday and it was a complete 180 from our first experience. Staff were attentive end friendly. Food was really good. Wife got the chicken nachos and I opted for the bbq wings. Awesome patio with plenty of tvs for sports watching. Will return.

    Fish & Chips
    Andy V.

    The food here was pretty good. Everything came out fast and fresh. Fish & Chips were my favorite. Tasted like there was curry in the batter, not sure. Bang Bang Shrimp was ok, but the Chili Crisp wings were great. The beer was a bit pricey for the size, and our server didnt know the drink selection too well. All in all, not a bad experience.

    Cookie and ice cream
    April L.

    Stopped in before a movie. We had been looking forward to checking this place out for a while. It was pretty busy especially for 5:00 on a Saturday. Service was decent considering. Prices were super reasonable and food and drinks were good! Hubby loved his beer and I tried a Strawberry basil mule that was refreshing. He enjoyed his chicken strips and I got a tasty side salad. We shared queso and chips and the kids enjoyed the pretzel plus cookie with ice cream with juices / mocktails. Will likely return and sit outside next time. We were sat in a corner inside, which I assume was because we had tween/teens with us. Outdoor area had corn hole, picnic tables and plenty of sunshine.

    Business Card "The Brass Tap"....ENJOY!

    Just a lot of fun! Seated promptly, wait person Lorie was outgoing & lively! Lorie took our order right away & repeated our order to make sure she had it right ( a first for me, shows she cares & paid attention to our orders) our orders came promptly & flavorful! Thanks to the staff, all the sports tv's made the night memorable & we will be back!

    Steak Frites- not good.

    The worst ribeye steak I've ever had. Poor quality meat. No seasoning. Bland! The garlic fries served with it on my steak frites were limp and extremely greasy. I sat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned. The bartender disappeared and came back 10 minutes later with my drink. The king cube had half melted. It was very heavy on the bitters and light on whisky. Nice ambience. Great place to catch a game. If only the food and drinks were better made. Sigh!!

    Our friends just moved into this neighborhood and we found this place and ate here on a Sunday. Great weekend brunch menu. Started with delicious bloodies. Then got the nachos and a burger. Food is solid for a sports bar. The staff is super friendly. Also an outdoor area with corn hole games. Huge TVs everywhere so great for sports. Free WiFi. The vibe is great as well. We will be back.

    I can on MLK Day. It is pretty light crowd for a 2:30 pm. It's starting to pick up 3:30 pm, so it's time to leave. I am sitting at the bar and there is 1.5 bartenders. The bartender seem to be short staffed, not her fault. Buying waiting for a bill for over 20 minutes is not acceptable. Beer and food selection was on a QR code so hopefully bring a "smarter phone" I ordered one beer Tioga-Sierra Red Beer. It was good. They also have a small wine list and a full bar. Not sure how cocktails are charged since they have a lot of specialty drinks on their menu. Assuming I come back. I'll try the food but service needs some improvement. I deleted the Brass Tap App because it was buggy and didn't really help me. The venue is nice and spacious and the outdoor patio looks inviting. Maybe an office party or birthday party on the patio. Note: be prepared to leave an open tab on your credit card or pay up front for your drinks.

    Love this place. I come a few times a week as my son practices. Wait service regulars are wonderful. That said, a lot of turn over recently so can't speak on them all. The ones who are still here are wonderful. The owner is a friendly and realizes who the regs are. He seems to always be lookin to improve so give it another try till he gets it right. Drinks are great, food is above average for gastropub food. I recommend the Poblano chicken tacos (flour only tortilla), the loaded tots and Cheese curds. Oh and boom boom shrimp but not too much sauce!!

    Recently tried this spot out for the first time and we were so glad we did. We went on a Tuesday which turned out to be trivia night. We were able to join in for a few rounds and it ended up being so fun! We were immediately seated and assisted by the waitress. We tried their chicken tenders and all American pub burger. I was unfortunately not a fan of the tenders, but everything else was good. There is plenty of parking and it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Definitely recommend this place!

The routes you can choose are reds, whites, or sparkling (3 of each). And your bite is either olives or fries. I also got a small portion of yummy popcorn. I picked the "sparkling" route. There are so many options. I really liked the Cremant de loire chenin brut nature as it was the driest and lightest out of the 3 I had. I then had a Chardonnay from Monterey which of course was dry but had a deeper flavor. Lastly was their driest champagne but it was more fruit/tart forward than the former 2. The inside is beautiful. Although it's a darker color scheme they have the wall of the street-facing side opened up to give a bigger feeling. Then there are a few smaller tables outside in the courtyard. There are heaters too in case it gets chilly. It was so peaceful and quiet the afternoon we came. Away from the bustling streets. It's very dog friendly as the owner's dog also resides at the restaurant to pleasantly greet guests. Service was great. So friendly and Very knowledgeable about their wines. Checked on me frequent enough. Helped fill up the water bottle for my dogs. This is a lovely little spot and I do recommend it.

She has curated a fantastic selection of small production boutique wines. It's obvious she is very picky about what she will serve in her establishment because honestly they are all delicious and great quality. The location itself is just gorgeous. Local art is featured on the walls. The bar seating is comfortable and there are some tables as well. Overall, just a wonderful place to hang out. The thing that makes Vin special is that every single wine is available by the glass! We are talking a lot of wines. It's a wonderful opportunity to try something you won't find in the grocery store. She offers three flights as well; Swirl which is a mix of whites and reds, Savor which is all reds and Sparkle obviously champagnes. In addition, she offers cheese and charcuterie boards curated by The Meatery and a Tahini Fudge Brownie which is baked exclusively for Vin by Sweet Reba's. What would be a more perfect pairing with a nice red....wine and chocolate are just so good together! We stopped in most recently on a Friday night and were treated to live music by Bro. Great singer who was just perfect for the wine room. Roslyn does not carry any local wines which is fine by me. If I want a local wine I can stop at Taste of Monterey or the tasting room itself. When I am in the mood for something truly special, I'll definitely be stopping in Vin. The wines rotate so there is always something new to try. If you have not yet been, run, don't walk. You are in for a real treat!

The fun artwork and paintings throughout the restaurant added so much personality and made the space even more enjoyable. We started with the duck pâté and bread. The pâté was silky smooth with just a hint of sweetness, paired perfectly with the toasted bread. It literally melted in your mouth. The octopus with bean and honey sauce was another standout. The sauce complemented the octopus beautifully. The octopus itself was incredibly tender and soft -- not chewy at all -- and honestly reminded me of some amazing octopus I had while visiting Portugal. The mussels came in a very generous portion, and the tomato sauce was so good you could drink it by itself. For our mains, we had the sea scallops and the seared tuna, and both dishes were excellent. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and well executed. The coffee and tea cups were the Bodum brand, great quality, double-lined, and they kept the drinks warm while still being comfortable to hold. Definitely a memorable dinner in Pacific Grove, and I'd gladly come back again.

The inside has a rustic, laid-back vibe to it. Our waiter was attentive and nice - he did forget our two glasses of wine until we reminded him when our entrees came out. They did comp the wines at the end though, which was nice. As for food, we got the mussels and octopus to start. The mussels were cooked well and the broth was good. Liked the sourdough accompaniment a lot, especially dipped in the sauce/broth. The octopus was very interesting as well with the black bean honey sauce. Sweet yet had a sort of earthy/nuttiness to it. It had a very Asian influence to it, compared to the typical Italian or Greek method of preparing octopus. For entrees we got the seared duck breast and sea scallops. Scallops were a tad salty but were cooked well and had a buttery taste. I appreciated all the veggies it came with and made the dish very clean-tasting. Duck breast was very soft and easy to cut. Polenta was cooked well too and the chard gave a nice touch of green to the dish. The entire dish felt very comforting. We finished off with the apple cake and chocolate pot. Both were tasty, although the apple cake was a bit better. I enjoyed the ice cream and the cake had crispy edges and soft inside. Chocolate pot was smooth and easy to eat, and wasn't overly rich.

Unfortunately, the customer service judgment was a bit poor. When we politely asked to lower the music briefly for a short announcement, we were told it "wouldn't be fair to other customers." There were only a few others there, five perhaps and not deeply engaged in listening to music. A small act of courtesy could've gone a long way.
