Love Liberty Station area! Wine and charcuterie board was great. Tasty, enjoyable. Friendly service. Nice ambiance outdoors. Will come again.

Had a lovely experience here with my family. Enjoyed a number of wine flights that were quite vibrant. We had a cheese board that pair perfectly and ended up purchasing 3 of our favorite wines. The place is small, and located inside a former military barracks so finding this place can be a bit tricky. Service was limited and not the most attentive, but once you have your wine, cheese, and great conversation, does it matter? Overall, satisfied and would come back again if I'm in the area.

Customer service was pretty mediocre. I stopped in for a quick mom break just one glass of wine but ended up waiting for quite a while while the server seemed more focused on chatting with another customer. I eventually had to ask for service. That said, I like to give places a few chances, so I would come back. The location is great, the wine was delicious, and the view was relaxing and enjoyable.

It always so nice to meet after a trip to catch up with are family Lunch date and always a great time here Food is fresh and very relaxed here for Sunday afternoon We found parking not to close But it was the Food and wine festival going on a cross the way It was fine

A great fall afternoon wine day! Carruth Cellars never misses -- especially when Bernadette is taking care of you! She was incredibly warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. Her recommendations were spot on, especially the Sauvignon Blanc, which was crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I was in the mood for. And the crostinis? Unreal. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and such a great pairing with the wines. If you're looking for a place with great pours, amazing bites, and genuinely exceptional service, ask for Bernadette. She made our visit a standout, and we'll definitely be back!

Had a decent experience here. This place is located in the middle of Liberty Station with expansive outdoor seating and wine choices. There is also a food menu with items such as cheese boards, sandwiches and flatbreads. My group sat ourselves outside on a Sunday and it was pretty crowded due to the live music. We almost couldn't get a spot. You order inside at the bar. I got a glass of rosé for $16. My group did a build your own cheese board which was somewhat disappointing. The gentleman who took our order said that the cheeseboard would be a big size (based on what we chose) and there would be "14 crackers". We decided that would be enough for my group to share. It was disappointing that it came with 4 crackers! Laughable lol. I wish he knew his facts so we could've ordered differently. I liked the taste of the meats and cheeses. It came out quickly.

Fun vibes for a little mid week wind down! We did a tasting, bottle and got alittle food and hung out in the wine garden and it was so much fun! Vibes were great and it's dog friendly!

Shout out to Carruth for the wine tasting. Many high quality wines to choose from. With so many selections I wasn't sure which reds to choose, so our server recommended 5 reds for me and gave me a sixth to try. My wife said that was the best wine tasting she ever had.

Anne M.

Great wine and friendly service! I really enjoyed the GF crackers and cheese to go along with the wine.

Jennifer H.

Came here for their music wine nights and what a blast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting there early as a line will form and it will be hard to get in since space is limited. The music playing was amazing and there was two spots you could order some wine. There are some small finger foods and beer to order as well. Limited bathrooms so be mindful of that. Overall would come to this event again.

This a nice place to relax on a Sunday afternoon. We came in about 4:30 pm and were able to find a table on their outdoor patio. The live music was nice. I had a glass of Chardonnay and a flatbread pizza with blue cheese and prosciutto. The wine was light and refreshing, but I wish it was fruiter. The flatbread was delicious. It was generous size and I enjoyed the saltiness of the blue cheese and meat. Because it is in Point Loma, the airplanes flying by is a distraction.

First time at Carruth Cellars for a farewell get together. The outside patio is lovely and dog friendly. Wines are spectacular and small bites are delicious! Hospitality was great and attentive!

Cheese board - yummy
Kate F.

I love that they have a huge outdoor area. You do order your drinks inside. I really enjoyed the bartenders choice flight where you can ask for white, red or a mix of both. The cheese board was so good as well

Ask the Community - Carruth Cellars

Could they accommodate a group of 20?

The outdoor area is large and even on weekends there is plenty of space

Do they take reservations for dog friendly patio seating?

I think they will let you reserve a table if it is a large enough party for an event. (I've seen a few baby showers and birthdays there.) however it has always been first come, first served table seating outside. All pup friendly.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, there were an eclectic mix of puppies there. And I ended up adopting one!

I figured we go to Extraordinary, but then I thought why not have prosecco at Vinarius. The owner was out in front and I asked if Paola was working and he pointed inside...and she was! We didn't have a reservation, but they gave us a table in front. Paola was really happy to see me and I her since it has been a long time. We all decided to order one of each of the desserts. It's been a while since I've been this decadent...who am I kidding...all I need are friends who are willing...LOL! Everything was so good! The prosecco, the desserts, the company, and of course Paola! She is such a gem! The whole staff is great! Looking forward to coming back for dinner! I love this small intimate space! Grazie Paola and Vinarius!

Wines are a good sized pour for $7 in nice glassware, and the spritzes are also solid. They used to include a cynar spritz that I still order off menu I like it so much.

The patio is sparse but I don't mind as we get to enjoy happy hour with our dog.

This is one unique spot and absolutely worth visiting. Came here with a group (which I'd recommend…read moreto try more things) but heads up that there aren't large tables so you'll need to move things around if you're more than 3-4 people. The vibe is wild there- from creepy McDonalds figures to a diner-like bar and decor, it'll feel like no other restaurant or bar you've been to. I had enough sodium for the rest of my week, but man was everything tasty. The Prosciutto Sandwich was so tasty and loaded up with prosciutto. The meatballs were flavorful (and the sauce was great for dipping my sandwich!). The drinks were super cool. I got the freak nasty and it might've been one of the best drinks I've had in a while. Think a cross between a Gin & Tonic and an Italian sandwich. And the pickle beer was very pickle forward! The waitress was very friendly and was able to speak to all the drinks. I'd definitely come here again... just maybe not too frequently given the high sodium levels haha.

Came here on a Tuesday evening for my birthday dinner. I booked through OpenTable around 6 PM, and…read morewe ended up running about 10 minutes late because of traffic from the Padres game. Parking down here definitely isn't easy, but we luckily found a spot nearby. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet when we arrived, which I'm sure had a lot to do with the game. We were the only guests at first, but by the time we left there were several other tables dining. From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely phenomenal. Our server made us feel so welcomed. We ordered: * Focaccia Bread: I personally would have liked it a little crispier, but you could tell it was fresh, and it had really nice flavor. * Burrata & Strawberry Salad: light, refreshing, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I added a little balsamic vinaigrette for extra flavor, but overall it was fantastic. * Amatriciana (with added meatballs$: you can add meatballs for $7, and they also offer add-ons like shrimp or burrata for around $6-$8. The homemade pasta completely stole the show. The noodles were fresh, perfectly cooked, and honestly some of the best pasta I've had in San Diego. The meatballs were huge, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Two was the perfect amount. To top it all off, they surprised me with flan and a dessert wine for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more special. Overall, this place absolutely lived up to the hype. The restaurant is cute, clean, and welcoming. The service was outstanding, and the in-house pasta is incredible. Prices are a little on the higher side, but with the location and quality, it's completely worth it. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.

Amazing food and service. Great vegetarian options!…read moreWent around dinner time on a Saturday and got lucky with being seated right away; however, I'd recommend reservations beforehand.
