I left very happy with my experience, especially with the bar being filled with other kind folks, who loved to chat! Overall, the Merenda was a beautiful space, ambience was lovely.

This craft wine tasting room is amazing. It has ample (heated) space in the back to bring in your…read moreown food and friends for wine pairings, and the wine varietals are second to none. (You can also grab charcuterie items from their fridge.) For your non-wine friends they have slushies. The tasting room is licensed for children as well. I believe they have sodas in the fridge you can purchase for the youngsters. The best thing about this place is that every Sunday there's a music open mic featuring local singers and artists from 6-9. The host, local legend Raynaldo Martine, will play along with artists or let them go solo. The list is always fair, and the hosts respect the amount of time artists spend in the venue. Overall, this is a place where you can enjoy some high-end craft wine and excellent entertainment. They have other entertainment lined up other days, so call ahead to find out what's going on.

I think he was the owner and he said they weren't opened yet but invited us inside for a little tour. He told us they had live music every night. We came back later that night for a drink because of his friendliness and hospitality. There was indeed live music and we had a glass of their delicious Pinot Noir and bought a bottle of wine to take home. They don't serve food, but there are plenty of restaurants near by where you can order food to bring in with you. They did sell little charcuterie boards and snacks though, which was nice to see. The outdoor patio was so cozy with ambient string lights and plenty of seating. Definitely a great place to have a drink and listen to some live music. Thank you to the gentlemen who made us feel welcome and inviting us for a tour before you were open.

Plenty of street parking! We were seated right away at the bar stools. Lovely shop, very quaint and feels like you're just visiting a friends shop. We ordered the mussels, crudo and risotto. We were torn over what wine to get but they let us sample a couple! Super great service. Mussels were definitely the stand out dish, but everything was fresh! 3 plates was good for 2 people. We also got their cheesecake and it was SOOOO GOOD! Not too sweet, perfectly baked. It is a pricey restaurant but worth a special occasion.

I don't remember what I got but I tried two different types of reds and they were absolutely delicious. The tuna crudo is really tasty and fresh. The flavor combination of the citrus and garlic is unique and addicting. I could have like 5 plates of this! The duck was cooked amazingly - maybe a little on the salty side but not enough for me to mind. The lentils and fennel were a fun combo to pair with the duck. Again, a unique dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. Lastly, we ended the night with a creamy basque cheesecake. This is one of the better cheesecakes I've had. It was rich and sweet but not sickeningly sweet. I loved everything I had and the servers are always amazing and so knowledgeable about the wines which I really appreciate. Cheers!

First of all, kudos to the bartender--I forgot her name, but she was incredibly generous and kind. She accidentally forgot my drink and kept apologizing, but I told her it was totally fine since we had a large party. To make up for it, she gave me two shots instead of one and even added a big discount. The ambiance of this place is unique and very artsy. If you're looking for a cool, one-of-a-kind spot to hang out, this is it. There's so much attention to detail throughout--even the restroom door is thoughtfully designed with a modern, creative touch. My friend ordered a variety of cocktails, and everyone enjoyed them. The food was great as well. I ordered the hummus plate, and it was the best I've ever had--so fresh and served in a generous portion. My friends tried the pizza and a few other items from the menu, and everything got a thumbs up. If you're in the area looking for a cool place to hang out or planning a party, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back again soon.

Oof, I really wanted to like this place. But this wasn't it. They have potential but they're not…read morethere yet. First off, they have a "wait to be seated" sign at their entrance, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. When we were inside, we noticed there was another entrance and people were just walking in, so "waiting to be seated" was just an option? We ordered a beer and seltzer and it took easily 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Drinks that were in cans by the way. Music was good, DJs were good, but the whole vibe of the place is kinda everywhere. This lighting in this place needs to be more dimmed. DJs are spinning right in the middle of the room, and there's a clothes rack just chilling against the wall. The baristas are way in the back, and you can't really tell who works there. It took equally as long to get the check as it did to get my drinks. We only had 1 round of drinks. I dunno, waiting for canned drinks just threw me off. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken to get a mixed cocktail. I only saw one guy mixing drinks and a bunch of women just hanging around. I'm assuming workers that look like they don't work there.

I definitely love the warehouse vibe, clean open space, awesome craft beer selection, and the wine options they have. The patio area is a great place to hang out and has a very family-friendly feel. They also serve food on site, including hot pizza prepared in an outdoor pizza oven. I came here today to support my friend who was playing in a live reggae band, and the whole setting made it even better. Service was spot on and professional. The bathrooms were clean, and believe it or not, parking was a little hard, but it was okay I was able to find a spot around the corner. The place is tucked away in an industrial area right across from the airport, which actually gives it a really cool vibe. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Bring back the food trucks!!!…read more Beer is phenomenal and they rotate regularly. Wine options are great for every type of wine connoisseur. And they even have a decent selection of NA beers now. Brewery staff are super cool and nice. Winery gal is, well she's nice enough on her best days. They just redid the back patio and it's spacious with plenty of seating, both in and out. My only gripe is that dang pizza place. Idk what the heck is going on but the quality is just downright bad. And I mean all of it. Walked up to the counter last time around and the guy didn't even look up at me. The garlic knots have come out raw on multiple occasions, pizza is burnt black, not a little bit O' tasty char, like crisped to carbon black. And the salad is ok. But it's a $20 basic salad. On that point, food price is just way too high for the portion size. You're not even allowed to bring your own food in anymore. Bring back the food trucks!!! Pizza place gotta go guys. Eat before you go. But it is a fantastic brewery and the wine is on point.

That said, there appears to be a discrepancy between what is promoted as top-shelf liquor and what is actually being poured, based on both my experience and comments from other patrons. I will share these concerns with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) If you look behind the bar, you will see a glass bottle with a Tito's sweater. It's NOT Tito's. Nor is the bottle a Tito's bottle. Every time we have been there, it appears to be very busy, so I don't see the reasoning here. I hope greed doesn't get this place shut down. Don't take my evaluation as gospel. Go check it out. 5 star establishment, 0 stars for being greedy, especially when the people are willing to pay. As I write this, I assume it's a profit margin thing.
