The vegetable dishes were excellent: flavorful, well-prepared, and apparently packed with enough fiber to move several years of unresolved business through my digestive system. By the end of the evening, my bowels had entered what I can only describe as "Super Slide" mode. This was not ordinary diarrhea. This was an express-lane evacuation. Waste did not merely leave my body; it checked out early, skipped the front desk, and fled the premises without saying goodbye. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, and my colon emerged feeling lighter, cleaner, and emotionally available. Highly recommended for vegetarians, food lovers, and anyone whose lower intestine needs a firm but flavorful motivational speech.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs. The aguachile was fresh and bursting with flavor, the chilies were really well-seasoned, but the duck was the real standout. So well-seasoned, tender, and that cranberry sauce?! Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot! Docking off one star just because the price was pretty steep for the portion, but otherwise was a nice spot.

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.

Our server was great, super knowledgeable, and personable! All the wines were delicious as well. Normally in a flight there's always one or two wines I don't really enjoy, but I can honestly say they were all great. Love the option of choosing my category of tasting (I'm always try to avoid the reds haha). All the wines were served in a test tube, which was a fun experience. Had a lot of time to sit and chat, didn't feel rushed at all which I loved.

I adore Barrels Wine Bar…read more Fabulous wine bar with a wide selection, customizable wine flights, expert suggestions, and a remarkably approachable environment Barrels is truly a gem. A popular location, Barrels can fill up fast so I appreciate slipping in before or after the crowds but if the timing doesn't work out I'll buy a recommended bottle to-go. Josh is incredible. Unpretentious and very welcoming, Josh defies the typical wine connoisseur stereotype. He finds a moment to make sure everyone is attended to even on the busiest of evenings. His staff are also delightfully authentic people. They are equally welcoming and just real for lack of a better word. When I come here I'm treated with a warmth that I only experience at places I'm a regular but here they immediately engaged as though I've always been here. They joke, tell stories, and share laughter that puts me at ease. Barrels is a comfortable wine bar. I have eaten a few of their charcuterie boards and loved them all, but especially the one with this soft mystery cheese that is super spreadable. It is so good! But typically I come for the wine. I highly recommend!!

I used to live within a stones throw away and was excited to discover a great local wine bar. The former owners, Tina and Joe, created the kind of spot where you can enjoy a fantastic glass of wine and relax. Josh took over, increased the food menu and added a few different touches. There is now a privacy shield on the window if you sit in a lower seat so that car headlights don't shine in your face. There are games too if you are here with a friend or few friends. As a solo person I can sit and enjoy a wine and not be bothered. Which is lovely when I want to sit, read, write and or take notes for my Yelp reviews, lol. Josh always has excellent suggestions. I trust his taste implicitly. If I don't know what I want, I tell him what I like, and he will make a great suggestion. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! It is also a great spot to pregame if you have plans in the city. Within walking distance to the park and ride.Do it! Drink good wine and live your best life. Support local businesses. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! SYOY!

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.

I've been here twice and I'm so happy to have a new fun place with great wine and live music…read more The wine list is FABULOUS. The acoustics are echoey and loud... like tin can loud. I love that they have a tv in a wine bar- that's rare. The staff is beyond LOVELY! Food needs more love and attention - could be more interesting.

The chips are refilled at no additional cost, which is such a nice touch. The environment is lovely, and the waitresses are warm and friendly. My favorite is definitely the tacos, especially the sea bass taco. Every dish is packed with flavor and left me feeling full and satisfied for a long time. I'm so happy I discovered this place and would highly recommend it! I normally don't eat spicy food at all, but I make an exception here. The dishes have a nice kick, but the spice level is still very tolerable. Absolutely worth a visit!

A pricey, yet worthwhile restaurant that's perfect for pre-date night!…read more I came here with the missus. in the early evening to grab some eats and get out of the house during a busy month. I seen this place recommended a few times and after going, I see why it's recommended. Food They do have a pretty solid selection of eats as well as an extensive drink menu. We didn't really know what to order and I'm also on a diet so I opted for the steak salad which honestly was probably one of the best steak salads I've ever eaten. You can't go wrong with their bowls either. Now the price of said items are a different story. Although the eats are what I would call extremely high-quality, they were definitely on the pricier side, as were the drinks. Service We were seated almost immediately, even though we had a reservation and our server was very engaged. Our water cups were never empty. I think we would've appreciated a little more small talk or chitchat, but it was kind of busy in there so I won't necessarily hold that against them. Ambiance The restaurant was way smaller than it looks online, and the seating was a little awkward. We were sitting on this bench thing, but there is some type of separator in between the missus and I. I'm sure we could've sat somewhere else but so it goes. I do believe that there is seating upstairs, but we did not go up there so I'm not sure. What I did love about this restaurant is that the natural light from the big windows made it feel warm, and the music and plants/vegetation really did make it feel like you were somewhere tropical. Loved that! Conclusion Overall, I give this place a 4/5 would recommend. The food is great, the service is good and I'm pretty sure you will have a great time here, just be prepared to spend a little bit more than you anticipate!

The service was casual, and our waiter was super awesome, helping us get extra glasses as our friends trickled in. We had a mimosa special that included a bottle of champagne and a few juices for around $45. This was a perfect split between my 4-6 friends and me! We ended up getting a second bottle afterward, and we each had two full glasses! The juices were orange, grapefruit, and a pineapple, mango mixture, all of which were delicious, but my favorite was the grapefruit. This place is a little hidden, but not if you're on the marina side! It wasn't crowded, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I'll keep this in mind as a good place to visit when I want a glass of bubbly!

Feels like eating at an Italian home! Che bontà!…read more If you love Italian cuisine, this restaurant will make you feel like you are back in Italy, having food at someone's house! Eggplant Parmesan - one of my regular orders at any Italian restaurant, and in most cases, it's usually very oily, but here it felt like eating a homemade dish. Ravioli Formaggi - delicious cheese stuffed ravioli in a creamy marinara sauce. Caprese Panini - we took this to go and it was a soft bread with creamy pesto sauce, a touch of balsamic vinegar on the cheese. For dessert, we had the coppa creamy pistachio gelato, which was amazing ..not overly sweet and just the way we like! We took the 3 layered chocolate cake as takeout for the kid, and it was heavenly. the chocolate was amazing! I did have a mojito, which I felt was sweeter than I usually have. Glad to have found an Italian home closer to our home, and we'll be back for sure! super friendly staff Lots of parking!

This review is for mini golf only:…read more I agree with what someone said in their review, which was that the mini golf leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe the vibe is a little different at night when the lights on the courses are brighter and more pleasant, but the holes are not too well constructed and are a lot smaller than expected. The edges are constructed in a way that a ball can easily get lodged under the rim of the edges and the light strips that line it, making it difficult to play a smooth game. There's also one hole in particular that our balls got stuck in multiple times. There are no instructions whatsoever, like how the game of thrones inspired one is the last hole (it does not return your ball). All in all, it's fun for one time but I definitely had higher expectations for gameplay and the construction and quality of the holes.
