I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

I loved my wine and the cheese board. My partner usually drinks espresso martinis if it's an option and he really really liked this one, so don't be shy to try the cocktails if wine isn't your thing as that's high praise from him! The staff were very polite and friendly but perhaps a bit overrun after the game, so things took a little while once they got busy (which is totally fine as we weren't in any hurry). The vibes were very chill but still classy and comfortable. The patio was dog friendly too!

Housed in the 1906 Seller Building, the décor features dark woods, antique brass lighting and rich leather seating -- all of which create an environment that is upscale but cozy. Whether you're escaping a rainy Seattle afternoon or winding down before or after an event nearby, this is a place where you can settle in, relax and enjoy. This is the perfect place to pregame a concert at Wamu or Seahawks game! It also is in the heart of Pioneer Square so perfect for hosting guests. Taylor Shellfish is around the corner and offers corkage fees The wines are the heart of the experience.

You can choose to sit on the main floor, outside, or upstairs. Got a flight of red wine, a flight of whites, and a flight of chocolate (which comes with a glass of wine specifically as a pairing. This was my favorite wine). AND a free snack bowl was provided! The workers did an excellent job. They brought out the wines one at a time- describing each one in detail, even pointing out which were their favorites. The service was very personable, which is something I don't always get at other places that do wine tastings. The chocolates were melt in your mouth, with unique flavors, making it extra fun. I must note- getting the flights that we did was pricey, but I know, most wine tastings and fancy chocolates are going to be expensive. I also wish there was a little more chocolate in the flight. It was difficult to cut up and share. However, this was a wonderful experience that I'm happy to have tried once, and they deserve the 5 stars!

They were right! I tried the lemon curd and apple curd - both were delicious, but alas, the jars would require that I check in my bag at the airport on the flight back home since they are more than 3 oz and technically liquid, so I opted for a non-liquid product to try. Truffle Queen's truffle salt is AMAZING! It takes a minuscule amount of the salt to add a huge punch of flavor. I sampled a few grains and was sold! I'm looking forward to sprinkling this on my homemade popcorn when I get home. It makes for a great gift as well. This is a must-visit shop if you're hanging out in Pike Place Market. But beware if you sample something - it's so good that you'll need to buy something and bring it home to enjoy. And it's not cheap but worth the $$$$.

My friend and I tried the New Release Tasting, and we both agreed all the wines were tasty and complex flavors and mixtures of dry and sweet. I enjoyed the Sauv Blanc so much that I got a bottle to go - $5 off too, since I purchased a flight prior! The guy behind the counter was friendly and always attentive, not leaving long gaps of time in between tastings! There are a few small tables inside, bar seating, and some seating outside on the patio where you can enjoy the sun. Parking is typical of Seattle, but since it's a little further from the main streets, there is some free 2hr parking if you get lucky and find a spot.
