The vegetable dishes were excellent: flavorful, well-prepared, and apparently packed with enough fiber to move several years of unresolved business through my digestive system. By the end of the evening, my bowels had entered what I can only describe as "Super Slide" mode. This was not ordinary diarrhea. This was an express-lane evacuation. Waste did not merely leave my body; it checked out early, skipped the front desk, and fled the premises without saying goodbye. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, and my colon emerged feeling lighter, cleaner, and emotionally available. Highly recommended for vegetarians, food lovers, and anyone whose lower intestine needs a firm but flavorful motivational speech.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs. The aguachile was fresh and bursting with flavor, the chilies were really well-seasoned, but the duck was the real standout. So well-seasoned, tender, and that cranberry sauce?! Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot! Docking off one star just because the price was pretty steep for the portion, but otherwise was a nice spot.

And this one stood out right away. Light to medium-bodied, led by bright cherry notes with a subtle hint of spice, and a smooth, easy finish that keeps you going back for another sip. Balanced, elegant, and just bold enough without feeling heavy. Definitely a bottle worth savoring.

It was such a nice way to unwind and honestly made for a really fun date with my fiancé. Elisa was absolutely wonderful. She was so sweet and incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, and we had so much fun learning about everything we were tasting. We got to try some of their newer releases, which was such a fun part of the experience. The Viognier was definitely my top favorite. I loved it so much that I ended up getting an extra splash at the end, which was so kind of them! The Cinsault was interesting because we were told to expect cherry, Jolly Rancher, juicy and fresh flavors, but for us it came across a little more bitter and dry than we expected. The Grenache reminded us a lot of the Block 9 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon, if you've ever tried that one. We also got the charcuterie board to snack on while we tasted. The grapes were especially crispy and fresh, and it was nice to have something to nibble on, especially because I was so hungry by the time we arrived! I had read some of the previous reviews about the board, so I came in with fairly low expectations. It definitely wasn't the most elaborate charcuterie board I've ever had and probably wouldn't be something I'd order again for $20. It felt more like a pre made snack box than something especially memorable. We still completely finished it, though! The space itself is so cute and beautifully designed. We happened to go on a sunny day and the natural light coming through the windows made it feel especially bright and inviting. It was comfortable inside and never felt too hot or too cold. I also love that Sama Cellars is right in the heart of Redmond Town Center, so it's really easy to make an afternoon out of it. There are so many shops and things to do nearby that you can easily browse around before or after your tasting. Overall, we had such a lovely afternoon. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was peaceful, and it was genuinely just a really enjoyable experience. I'd definitely come back to Sama Cellars for another afternoon of wine tasting!

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.

Very reminiscent of California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ chicken pizza but without the BBQ sauce, sweetness, or cilantro. I am a big foodie but I thought this flatbread was average and unmemorable.

It's a great place for drinks and cocktails and a place to relax. I'm sure it will be popular. I'm glad I tried it but I'd like to try other places before going back there.

The service was casual, and our waiter was super awesome, helping us get extra glasses as our friends trickled in. We had a mimosa special that included a bottle of champagne and a few juices for around $45. This was a perfect split between my 4-6 friends and me! We ended up getting a second bottle afterward, and we each had two full glasses! The juices were orange, grapefruit, and a pineapple, mango mixture, all of which were delicious, but my favorite was the grapefruit. This place is a little hidden, but not if you're on the marina side! It wasn't crowded, and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I'll keep this in mind as a good place to visit when I want a glass of bubbly!
