From Chicago, recently moved to Kyle. My daughter is in town so we decided to try W2W. Here are…read moresome thoughts from a wine novice... -Very personable and helpful service! -We decided to get two flights--one red wine and one white wine. -I tried all of them--the black cab was my favorite red and the watermelon was my favorite white. -We also ordered a charcuterie board. I really enjoyed the salami and the olives. All of it was good. I would definitely recommend!! -Very nice outdoor patio area.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Water 2 Wine! The service was impeccable from the…read moremoment we stepped in the doors. We were greeted with friendly hellos, but more importantly, so many people, patrons and employees, greeted our pup! Our pup was so excited! You could tell how special she felt. We ordered from Allie, who is an absolute ROCKSTAR! After telling Allie our preferences, she suggested wine that we normally wouldn't have tried, but boy, does she know her stuff! We started with the "Spirit of the Vine" and a smokey red flight. After Allie's white wine suggestion, I fully trusted her to pick my white wine flight and she did an amazing job! We mentioned that we were on a family camping trip and she sold us on the port wine they make. I usually dislike ports, but this one was just like sitting by the fire eating a s'mores! Smooth, not overly sweet, and soooo good! We sat by the winery's back window and chatted with other patrons. We loved how beautiful the winery was; complete with a cold and hot water station, and to honor those for Memorial Day they had a remembrance table. We can't stop talking about Water 2 Wine. We sincerely hope we get to visit again. Thank you for incredible service and delightful wine.

There's a thoughtfully curated mix of gifts, home decor and clothing, and I almost always find something I want. They also have a whole tincture wall, which is something you don't exactly see every day. I haven't done a tincture appointment myself, but the bar next door uses some of them in their mocktails. Great for peeps like me cause I don't drink alcohol. What I like most is that the whole space feels like somewhere you can actually hang out for a while instead of just shop and leave. There's plenty of seating next door, and I try to get over there for the free comedy night on Tuesdays, but they've got something going there every night of the week. Music, open mic, and I think I saw Bingo on the board last time I was there. It's a fun, slightly unusual little corner of Main Street and exactly the kind of place I wish Buda had more of.

Growler Express is a pleasant surprise. I chose it due to its proximity to my son's house in…read moreManchaca. But I was pleased to learn that it could stand on its own merits. For one thing, its ambience is a cut above other growler bars I've been to. It's more like a bar with great selection of beer, a host of regulars, and inviting interior. Daily specials are posted behind the bar. Two TVs for your viewing pleasure. Plenty of seating given its relatively small size. And a great selection of local and regional beers. But what really sold me was that as we walked through the door the bartender was carrying a bowl of water for my small dog to one of the tables. Along with a dog biscuit. Food? Other than dog biscuits I'm not sure. I didn't notice any snacks available but I didn't really look. There is a small assortment of soft drinks. But what will really bring me back next time I'm in town is the hospitality the bartender show to my small dog. Jax and I thank you.

It was clean and nobody was there eating or drinking. Wednesday night around 430/5. Maybe it was…read moretoo early but People were next door at Nate's. We asked about happy eand learned beer was 15% off. They did run out of the nachos. The brussel sprouts were good at $12 but the waitress made it sound bigger than it was. We ordered a couple things to share and a chicken sandwich with a side choice of 1/2 Caesar salad. We also tasted a couple beers and made our 16 ounce choice. What we didn't like was how often we were asked if we wanted something else when we said we were going to wait to see how the 3 things we ordered would be. When we were done, she was nowhere to be found so I went to the front for our bill which was wrong. She charged for the samples $7 less 15% and $2 for the half salad. There was never a mention of theses charges so the manager kindly removed them. This place was not for us. The ambiance was bright with tables. A huge wine area.

Taste on Main was best rated and the menu sounded intriguing. We arrived 45 minutes early, and the Maître D' graciously found us a table even though we expressed our willingness to wait. Our server knew the menu well, and the food flowed with perfect timing. The ambiance of a remodelled historic building with modern functionality was both relaxing and refreshing. We were especially pleased with our four telephone calls before hand to the manager about seating if it rained, reservations, and parking. Emily answered each call and was so helpful, and it is a nice touch that the manager interacts directly with the patrons. Each food item was excellent: 1) Mixed Greens Salad (mixed greens, seasonal fruit, candied pecans, manchego cheese, crispy shallots, red wine vinaigrette); 2) Cioppino (clams, mussels, shrimp, fish, calamari, arrabiata-fish brodo, foccacia); 3) 5 oz MTX Petite Filet; 4) Dulce De Leche Crème Brûlée (caramelized dulce de leche base topped with a crackly, burnt sugar shell)

And I paid $250 FOR THE WORST MEAL I HAVE EVER HAD! Place was cool. People were nice. But very unorganized. All the food was . Bland. Undercooked. Disappointing. Drinks were so bad. Old fashioned was the worst I have ever had. the worst. Wine was no better than 2 buck chuck. Basically tasted like old fermented juice. Let's go item by item shall we. Calamari - so bland and chewy. Supporting sauces were underwhelming. Tuna tartare - bitter. Sour. Flavorless. The buttered bread that came with it was the best part and didn't even go well. Try a cracker. Cesar salad - why in the hell would you put salt and vinegar potato chips in this. SERIOUSLY. Red snapper - chewy and over cooked. Steak filet - soooooooo bland. Brussels sprouts - oddly ok. Just a little undercooked. Potato's - the most UNDERCOOKED thing I have ever seen. It was like a blind grandma who smoked all her life tried to peel and cook potatoes while tossing cheese on it. No joke we could not get out of there quick enough. Literally pulled through a drive through right after and spent 15$ on tacos and had a much better meal. DO BETTER.

However, when I arrived, no one was at the front, so I had to check in at the bar. I wonder how that process works for dogs that may not follow all the rules and are already in the park. The concept is quite similar to Yard Bar, right down to the mulch. The bar offers canned beer, wine, cider, sodas, and water. The restrooms are porta-potties, but the one I used was clean. The park features many large trees and plenty of shade. Three Rufferees were present at all times, and I thought the use of walkie-talkies was a nice touch. The front desk informs the Rufferees of the dogs' names, which is quite cute. I do wish the bar provided water for humans; instead, you have to purchase a can of Liquid Death. There was ample parking available. Overall, it was a decent experience, and we plan to return when we have more time to make the drive.
