Such a fun and unique wine-tasting experience at Sama Cellars in Redmond!…read more We tried both the Light & Bright Flight and the Mixed Flight, with five tastes in each. My favorite white was the Rhône Blanc--not too dry, with a light citrusy touch that made it really easy to enjoy. For the reds, the 2023 Grenache was definitely my favorite. The location is a little unexpected for a winery since it's in a shopping center next to Starbucks, but I actually loved the setting. There's nice outdoor seating right by the kids' fountain, which makes it especially convenient if you're visiting with little ones. Inside has a completely different feel--quiet, cozy, and perfect for a small gathering or even sitting with a book and a glass of wine. The coolest part is the presentation! The tasting experience feels a little like being in a wine lab. Your pours come in little test tubes, and you pour each one into your own glass as you taste. Such a creative detail that made the whole experience more memorable. A relaxed, approachable spot for trying different wines without the formality of a traditional winery.

Stopped here for a glass of wine with a friend on a weekday evening. The vibes are gorgeous- it is…read moresuch a cool space and is immediately captivating. They do have a good wine list, but the pricing is HIGH. Think $25-$45 PER GLASS. Some of the wines this made sense for, but they really should consider adding a wine or two below $25 per glass. I have my WSET 2 and know a decent amount about wines so could understand why some of them were priced like this, but the whole menu being this high was strange. $32 for a glass of pinot noir didn't sit right with me. We asked to do flights so we could try a few things, but they said they were only doing glass pours. We asked for a rec for an acidic, fruity red and felt like the gal just told us the most expensive non-tannic red on the menu. Fine. For $32 a glass, I would not order what I got again. We headed to a restaurant after and got $14 glass pours that we preferred. This is a great place to go to impress someone with the chic vibes, but good wine can be found elsewhere at a fraction of the price. I do see the appeal though. It was also pretty loud when we went, so we chose to finish our conversation elsewhere.

Really enjoyed this place! The bar is cozy, well decorated, and felt very clean. The menu was very…read morewell thought out and I'm intrigued by their brunch and happy hour. Wine by the glass was fairly priced with the most expensive red being $19. I liked the Cabernet recommended by our server and my friend really liked her cocktail (definitely appreciated the variety here!!). We ordered both the fries and the churro fries which were ok overall. The savory fries weren't served hot, but it's a small kitchen so I get there may be delays. I'd go for a charcuterie or other cold plate next time. Definitely will be back! A very nice addition to the Issaquah bar scene

Very reminiscent of California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ chicken pizza but without the BBQ sauce, sweetness, or cilantro. I am a big foodie but I thought this flatbread was average and unmemorable. The service was great though. The waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently. It would be tough though if the place were full. It's a great place for drinks and cocktails and a place to relax. I'm sure it will be popular. I'm glad I tried it but I'd like to try other places before going back there.

TLDR: One of the best pit stops in the area and 100% worth your time…read more Wine: - Really good selection of whites, reds, and everything in between. - They also have a beer (1) and an aperitif if thats not your thing. - They actually pour a good portion of wine. Unlike most places you feel like you're getting your max value per dollar. Vibes: - Staff is super super super welcoming, warm, and friendly. - It can get a little loud, but it's just reflects how happy people are to be there. - While it looks like there not a lot of seats, there are. It's just not reflected very well in the pictures. What can be better? I'm sure they have their reasons but - the hours. It would be great if they were open until 11 on the weekends.

Teresa was our server, excellent service and very friendly, providing valuable details about the menu, etc. My wife ordered a surprise birthday cocktail for me, which was their version of an Old Fashioned (To The Bitter End), which was really good, large ice cube! My wife had the rum cocktail (Death in the Tropics), which was good, not her favorite. We dined slowly as we were not in a hurry, but were advised we had a 90 minute dining window. We overstayed by about 15 minutes, but it was their fault as they provided a complimentary dessert for my birthday, nice touch. For food, we started with the bread with black garlic spread, Along with the Rain Dog Chop salad, which were both delicious. We could not decide on an entree to share so we ordered 2. The Moroccan Chicken with cous cous (was AWESOME) and the Mushroom Pasta (Good but not great). After finishing, we agreed the Moroccan Chicken would have been enough by itself. Ample portion, wonderfully prepared. Draft beer and glass wine selections were excellent. I really enjoyed the No Boat Brewery beer. Thanks for making my birthday dinner a special one.
