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.

The service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. But ugh.. The flies. I couldn't stand it.

The Barking Frog was actually completely booked, but I had an OpenTable alert added, and as we were driving to the venue, I got an alert that there was a table open in the bar! I was super excited to try this new place! We sat in the bar and we ordered some cocktails- they were both very good. Service was a bit slower than we're used to, perhaps because we were sitting in the bar. Eventually, someone came around and took our order for our entrées. I ordered the duck breast and my husband ordered the King salmon. As for the duck breast, it was plated absolutely beautiful, I found the flavors to be pretty underwhelming. The seared rice cakes that it came with really did not offer much to the plate. So unfortunately, I felt my entrée fell a little flat for me. My husband, however, absolutely loved the King salmon and said it was one of his top dishes that he has tried. The ambience in the restaurant itself is fantastic. It's beautifully done and a great area and very easily walkable to the winery. We will definitely come back and give it another try as there were several other entrées. It looked really great on the menu.

Obviously the person on the grill wasn't trained or wasn't paying attention. Pacing was also a problem. Waited pretty long to order. Then salads came while we were finishing last bites of the appetizer. Then entrees came while I was literally in the middle of my salad. Talk about rushed. That salad would have been good if the shaved parm had been shaved. However, the pieces of parm were huge - really thick. Can't imagine who would think that was a good bite on a salad. The Broccolini was half cooked. I could barely cut the stem with a steak knife. Obviously. I couldn't eat those stems. They did not have a flight of wine that was all reds (i don't drink white wine). So why 4 stars instead of less? The mushroom toast appetizer was fantastic. I shouid have stopped there and would have been happy. The ceasar dressing and large crouton were good, even if the shaved parm was a bust. Once the steak was served to me medium as I'd ordered it, it was delicious and the fries were crispy and went well with the steak. I enjoyed the glass of wine I ordered. I hope they get their act together - such potential!

I'm not sure what the turn away from these incredible dishes was, and I don't feel like they were replaced with options at a similar level. The service here has gotten pretty bad. I went on a Tuesday and it took 30 minutes to get a glass of wine. I felt like the waiter was constantly whizzing past us and not making eye contact. Two glasses of wine, a shared app, and an entree took 2.5 hours when we knew what we wanted to order from the second we got there. That is unacceptable in my opinion. Our waiter also kept messing up our order and never took accountability at all. He brought one entree and then didn't bring the rest of ours for 25 min, then said "wow you are done already!" To our one friend. It was so weird. At the end of the meal, we told the hostess that we didn't want to have any more interactions with our waiter or have to wait any longer for the bill. She was super understanding and gave us all comment cards and a caramel, which was a lovely touch. We all wrote specific comment cards with time stamps and thoughts and filled out the contact info and then never heard from anyone. Strange.

This location is in the heart of downtown Redmond , nice and walkable if you in the area. I was able to coordinate a work party event here and boy did they go above and beyond for us. They provided a lovely charcuterie board (which included gluten free cracker options), a veggie plate, small dessert bites, mixed nuts and non alcoholic drinks. We ordered the meatballs and grill cheese sandwiches- both delicious. They were so lovely and easy to work worth and they thought of everything. The space its self is very cool, with bar seating , table seating and an open seating area. They have a little stage where they host live music too. Support a small winery business !!! You should absolutely check this place out for a glass and some bites. If you want to host an event , don't sleep on this spot !! Highly recommend!
