I discovered a new favorite winery at that vendor tastings as well, The Grenachista. This guy only focuses on Grenache. I especially liked his reds! All around great event with great panels topics.

Such a great location, proving you don't need to go to wine country to get a great experience. The owner, tasting room manager, and employees all were super personable, and it made the experience that much better. Wine was fantastic, with different varietals to match different tastes. Sparkling, named after the teenage daughter, to rosé, and a few different red varietals, all were delicious. I enjoyed hearing about the process and the inspiration in making the wine, and I will definitely be back. Lovely outdoor area and ambience.

It took a while just to get menus, and plates we asked for never arrived. The bartender was quick, but our server seemed preoccupied the whole time.

I made reservations a month ago at one of my favorite restaurants for Mother's Day today. Part of…read morethe reason why I chose Aracely's is because there was no pre-fix menu or pomp and circumstance for the holiday. When I arrived today, Aracely had decided to do a mandatory $75 pre-fix buffet without notifying those, like myself, who had made a reservation ahead of time. When I told the manager that this wasn't going to be feasible with our budget and that we are really upset and disappointed to arrive on Mother's Day for our brunch at our favorite restaurants only to find out we can't enjoy ourselves here. The restaurant asked us to confirm our reservation yesterday and didn't say anything about this expensive buffet. The manager called the owner and the two of them defended the restaurant and told us that their hands were tied and could not do anything for us. I told him that I had been coming here and bringing customers to the restaurant for the past ten years and he was unmoved. We left and don't plan to ever return. Instead we went to Mersea, the other wonderful restaurant on Treasure Island. We paid $15/meal for their delicious Mother's Day menu and enjoyed views of the city and amazing live music there. Highly recommend the unpretentious experience and chill vibes of Mersea rather than wasting you time and money at Aracely's Cafe.

This is a long overdue review for Chef Smitty and his team. Honestly, I wish I could give more than…read more5 stars. I have attended several events and Chef Smitty's catering crew and fantastic food has been on site for most of them. This team can cook it all - from classic BBQ, Italian lasagna/pasta, Soul Food shrimp n grits, or elevated risotto and chicken sous vide. In addition to the food, Chef Smitty and the team are professional, but down to earth people. You will be made to feel like a part of their family. If you are planning any kind of event, consider this family run business to prep, set up, serve, clean up, and deliver a memorable experience.

LaRone is very responsive, helpful, and the drop off for our buffet was seamless and on time. The food tastes amazing! Fresh, not greasy, beautiful fresh veggies and high-quality meats. Major comfort food but with real flavor. We fed 100+ people buffet style: rolls, salad, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, tri tip, chicken marsala, eggplant rotelli. Everyone loved all of it. Crispy mac n cheese and the flavor is outstanding. They provided plates, napkins, silverware, serving utensils and set the food up on the tables we set up in our office. They were on time and reliable. I forgot to get a picture of the chicken marsala which was a HUGE hit. Highly recommend Smitty's BBQ for any catering needs!

They even gave them some free samples, to which my nephew said, "If I wasn't getting on a plane tomorrow, I would definitely have ordered something! So good!" The food was absolutely wonderful: rave comments from everyone at the party! They were arranged beautifully. Had many questions about where I had ordered from. Turns out one of our guests already has an order in with them for a family reunion coming up! The menu is extensive and interesting. I had a hard time deciding as it all looked so good. Everyone had their favorite; mine was the watermelon/cucumber/onion/mint salad! I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND THEM for any function where you want delicious food at a reasonable price and the whole order handled professionally.

The bowl itself was mediocre but the worst came about 4 hours after. I have never written a review and never gotten sick like this from food. The staff was so so nice and service was good which makes this so unfortunate. I was experiencing horrible vomiting and stomach pains. My sister ate the absolute exact same things as me the entire day; expect this bowl, and was not sick at all. I really hope it was just a bad batch but something in the bowl was not okay. EDIT: so sorry it was at the presidio park/by the visitor center. I was visiting the golden gate and walked from there. Not from California so unfamiliar with the names.

Not only that, the cajun fries tgat come with it are absolute PERFECTION!!! ‍ I think I paid about $18 for the sandwich and fries after tax. Mama T's is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall spot with just enough room to step inside, place your order, grab a drink, and step back outside to wait for your food at the curb. She sells a variety of things, including turkey burgers, wings, and more, but the fish sandwich is actually what brought me there. Mama T was so sweet, and she was in the kitchen working alongside her son, Terrence, who I believe does most of the cooking. The customer service was absolutely top-tier, and I'll definitely be back! One thing I noticed was how many people walked up and were disappointed to find out that the fish sandwiches had already sold out. I think she needs to create a sign to post when the sandwiches are sold out so that people don't waste their time in line only to find out once they get to the register. Nonetheless we got lucky as we were among the last few people to get one! With that, if I had to give you one tip: GO EARLY! I'd recommend getting there at least an hour or so before closing because those fish sandwiches definitely sell out. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the visit!

After several months of searching for a non-traditional caterer for weddings, we discovered Slippery Fish Catering and Events. The attention to detail for our food stations exceeded my high expectations, especially the beautifully presented food stations inspired by Asian street food vendors. Furthermore, Slippery Fish supplied us with linens, bartending staff, and other rentals so we dealt with fewer vendors than typical. We were extremely impressed by the quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the professionalism and warmth of the entire team. We highly recommend Slippery Fish and thoroughly enjoyed working with the husband and wife team.

Apparently that changed gradually over the last year. I've been following @slipperyfishcatering on Instagram and see their announcements of daily specials, promotions and pop-ups.

And to make this upcoming SUSHI FRIDAY POP-UP extra special, for each sushi that you order, you'll also get an extra sushi roll, our BACON OF THE SEA ROLL!" I had no idea what bacon of the sea might be; turns out that's salmon skin. I put in my order for a dragon roll (plus a complimentary bacon roll) and got a nice box of sushi for $20 (including tax and tip). The taste was superb -- excellent quality. There's a weekly Burger Tuesday (maybe on Wednesdays, I forget). Don't be surprised if you see me out on San Pablo Avenue one day with a hamburger in my hand.
