We kicked things off with the truffle popcorn--my go-to starter here. Light, warm, and perfectly kissed with truffle oil. Not greasy, just addictive enough to keep reaching in between sips of wine. Then we ordered the artichoke cheese dip. Warning: it arrives piping hot (our server kindly gave us the heads up). We dug in anyway and immediately learned patience is a virtue here. Once cooled, it's gooey, creamy, and totally worth the wait. And because conversations just kept flowing, we added the meatballs to the table. Hearty, flavorful, and the perfect "something more" to balance the lighter bites. Service was spot-on--attentive enough to make sure we had everything we needed but never intrusive. I also love how this spot works for so many moods: girls' night, solo bar hangs, or even patio time with pups. Overall: cozy, versatile, and always a solid pick when you want to sip, snack, and chat the night away.

As for the wine, whatever house savignon blanc they offered us was delicious. The salads were good. The pastas less so. One was a spaghetti with meatballs. The balls were good, the spaghetti was mush. The other was chicken Alfredo which tasted like a frozen meal. We also had two cakes to choose from for dessert but I didn't have any. The staff was nice and I understand it's hard to manage such a big group but they tried hard.

I adore Barrels Wine Bar…read more Fabulous wine bar with a wide selection, customizable wine flights, expert suggestions, and a remarkably approachable environment Barrels is truly a gem. A popular location, Barrels can fill up fast so I appreciate slipping in before or after the crowds but if the timing doesn't work out I'll buy a recommended bottle to-go. Josh is incredible. Unpretentious and very welcoming, Josh defies the typical wine connoisseur stereotype. He finds a moment to make sure everyone is attended to even on the busiest of evenings. His staff are also delightfully authentic people. They are equally welcoming and just real for lack of a better word. When I come here I'm treated with a warmth that I only experience at places I'm a regular but here they immediately engaged as though I've always been here. They joke, tell stories, and share laughter that puts me at ease. Barrels is a comfortable wine bar. I have eaten a few of their charcuterie boards and loved them all, but especially the one with this soft mystery cheese that is super spreadable. It is so good! But typically I come for the wine. I highly recommend!!

I used to live within a stones throw away and was excited to discover a great local wine bar. The former owners, Tina and Joe, created the kind of spot where you can enjoy a fantastic glass of wine and relax. Josh took over, increased the food menu and added a few different touches. There is now a privacy shield on the window if you sit in a lower seat so that car headlights don't shine in your face. There are games too if you are here with a friend or few friends. As a solo person I can sit and enjoy a wine and not be bothered. Which is lovely when I want to sit, read, write and or take notes for my Yelp reviews, lol. Josh always has excellent suggestions. I trust his taste implicitly. If I don't know what I want, I tell him what I like, and he will make a great suggestion. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! It is also a great spot to pregame if you have plans in the city. Within walking distance to the park and ride.Do it! Drink good wine and live your best life. Support local businesses.

Who doesn't want to dine with a view of one of Washington's premiere golf courses with one of the…read moremost spectacular views in the entire state? Located at the The Golf Club at Newcastle, The Calcutta Grill is an English-style pub that has both indoor and outdoor dining with a view of the pristinely manicured golf course that also has their own bagpipe player signify the sun setting every weekend day during the summer season, along the course as well, which makes for an entertaining way to enjoy a meal. I had actually visited The Golf Club at Newcastle before, just to see the sun going down and watch the sunset bagpipe player play his traditional tune and walk around just as the sun started to set. I was recently back to enjoy a hearty dinner with a colleague and as luck would have it we would get a table while out on their terrace to watch the sun set and the bagpipe player set the scene while dining. Getting to The Calcutta Room at Newcastle was the biggest challenge, as rideshare is very pricey in the Seattle region, but achievable nevertheless. Upon arrival since I was meeting my friend here, and they had already arrived, I was told to venture out to the terrace on my own and wander around and look for them instead of being guided to where they were sitting. The dinner menu at The Calcutta Grill is separated into categories including Small Plates, From the Kettle (or Soups), Starter Salads, Signature Salads, Burgers & Sandwiches, Anytime Favorites, Signature Plates, their special Chef Inspired Features, and their Beverage menu. My dining mate and I decided to both get their smaller Classic Caesar Salad to start our meal. Upon my dining mates suggestion, as he has been here many times before, he suggested we split their Calamari Fritti small plate entrée, which were calamari rings and octopus dipped in a semolina crust and buttermilk and served with lemon, fried parsley and a roasted garlic aioli dipping sauce. For our entrée, it was suggested by our server that we order their Cajun Pasta which was their penne pasta served with grilled chicken, prawns, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and topped with their cajun cream sauce and aged parmesan. Served with grilled focaccia it was truly a hearty dish. Being able to take in the warmer weather, at least for the Seattle region, was a real treat as we waited for our food. Our calamari came out first, as they were crispy and crunchy and served with a grilled lemon and tartar sauce for dipping. The perfect way to start our meal was that when our salads came out, I was already satiated but still ready to go with the way that they stylized their version of a Caesar Salad, as it was a simple salad with shaved parmesan and no anchovies. The pasta entrée was the real star of our meal with plenty of hearty ingredients including a number of butterflied and grilled shrimp and chunks of grilled chicken, served with two toasted slices of sourdough bread complete with grill marks on it, this was a meal unto itself. Dining at The Calcutta Grill was a complete experience especially when their resident bagpipe player came to personally entertain us and take a picture with us. Our total bill was a little over 110 dollars before you consider tax and gratuity. By offering a selection of some of the Pacific Northwest's favorite foods in a relaxed, charming setting with uninterrupted panoramic views while dining on their patio, The Calcutta Grill is a special place to enjoy a nice meal.
