CAGETTE WINE BAR: WHERE CABERNET MEETS CABLE CROSSES…read more Listen, while other wine bars in Madison Valley are busy being pretentious about their French pronouns, Cagette has transformed itself into the Gold's Gym of grape juice. Their sommelier doesn't just wear a tastevin around his neck - he wears it WITH A WEIGHTLIFTING BELT. The wall of vintage Gold's Gym Venice Beach photos mixed with First Growth Bordeaux bottles is nothing short of INSPIRATIONAL. Arnold's famous posed double bicep shot is perfectly positioned between the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Barolo section, creating what they call the "Pump & Pour" corner. Their wine flights are served on custom metal trays shaped like weight plates. The "Franco Columbu Collection" of Italian reds arrives on a mini bench press rack, and you have to complete three reps before they'll pour your Brunello. The dedication to the aesthetic is STAGGERING. You haven't lived until you've experienced their "Muscle Beach Merlot Mondays" where the sommelier spots you through a vertical tasting while shouting encouragement like "LIGHTWEIGHT BABY" and "AIN'T NOTHING BUT A PEANUT" between sips. Their wine descriptions include both tasting notes AND the optimal rep range for maximum gains. The "Lou Ferrigno Lounge" area features leather seats made from recycled weightlifting belts, and every wine glass has grip knurling. Their coasters are miniature versions of the original Gold's Gym logo, and they refuse to serve anything less than full-bodied wines because "light wines are for WIMPS." Their "Pumping Iron" wine club (which meets in what they call The Dungeon, a clear homage to the original Gold's basement) requires members to deadlift their wine allocation before taking it home. The sight of someone clean-and-jerking a case of Grand Cru Burgundy is both terrifying and beautiful. Five stars for creating a space where wine snobs and gym bros can finally coexist in perfect harmony. I've witnessed heated debates about both proper squat form AND proper wine storage temperature, often in the same conversation. P.S. Their "No Pain No Pour" policy seems strict, but you haven't lived until you've seen someone do burpees for a better pour of Barolo. P.P.S. The bathroom mirrors are positioned at optimal flexing angles, and the hand soap dispensers are shaped like dumbbells. ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Note: This review was written while watching their sommelier demonstrate proper clean-and-jerk form using a methuselah of champagne as a training weight. Special Addendum: To the customer who complained about the mandatory flex pose before entering the reserve wine room - this is about CULTURE, Karen. Final Thought: Never has there been a more perfect fusion of fine wine and fitness culture. It's like if Joe Weider opened a wine bar and Franco Columbu was the beverage director. Remember: Every wine glass comes with its own "PR" (Personal Record) tracking card, and yes, they do measure your wine lifting form. No kipping allowed on the Bordeaux pulls. Warning: Side effects may include excessive use of phrases like "crushing it," "lightweight baby," and "yeah buddy" while discussing vintage vertical tastings. P.P.P.S. Their new "Swole Somm Certification" program requires both blind tasting skills AND a minimum bench press requirement. As it should.

Husband, wife, and daughter were there the first time we went for a happy hour. They were very engaged with customers and had a good menu. We ended up coming back one more time for a takeout meal. Burger, onion rings, and samosas were the things we ordered. Loved the filling in the samosas, and the chutneys, (though we love a little heat and that was lacking). Our daughter enjoyed her burger, and the onion rings are the crispiest, most delicious onion rings I've ever had! Don't sleep on this place, wishing the family well and many years of success. The food and service are quite solid.

We had not visited this restaurant in several years and were genuinely looking forward to…read morereturning, which made the experience especially disappointing. My husband's beef bourguignon was quite tough. My dish, listed as lamb chops, appeared to be a different cut more similar to lamb steaks, which was unexpected. The meat was overcooked on the outside yet undercooked on the inside and difficult to separate from the bone. Even after the meal, I was left with an uncomfortable sensation in my throat from the texture. The pea sauce was bland, with small, flavorless peas that gave the impression the ingredients may not have been of the best quality. Service was also slow, with a long wait for our food. Additionally, our server spoke to my husband in a manner that suggested he was hard of hearing, despite no indication of this, which felt awkward. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations, and we are not going to be returning.

The mussels in the blue cheese broth came recommended - the broth was very thick and viscous, and way too overpowering, could barely taste the mussels through it and the combination was strange. The beef bourginon was the only delicious dish, and even then, crazy strong amounts of rosemary came through, and I'm not one to ever think there are too many herbs. The 3-course dinner is not worth the price if you add up the cost of the 3 dishes you're ordering.

Hopefully, we'll be back for brunch or something similar to explore the area a bit more. I liked the efficiency and relatively friendly vibe we got from our waiter. Our server was kind enough to suggest his favorite dish on the HH menu, which we got and loved. You can't go wrong with the Crab and Artichoke dip. They have all the cozy vibes you wouldn't expect from this boujee area. Sadly, I wanted to order more but ended up cutting our visit short after a few patrons sat next to us. They seemed to excrete the most horrid pork/meat scent, but it wasn't their food either because they only ordered drinks. It was bizarre and unexpected for the area, but perhaps they had just had dinner elsewhere and still smelled of it. It really ruined the vibe. Hopefully, none of that next time..haha

There are no servers, if you want to order you go to the counter and then food is brought to your table.

You can really taste the raspberry. Glad they have awesome non-alcoholic options! I stole a few sips of my friends' drinks, all of whom shared high praise. During our time, we tried a new board game "Stitches", which was as entertaining as it was convoluted LOL. Would love to come back!

Communion was, without a doubt, the best restaurant we visited during our Seattle trip. Located in…read morethe Central District, the food beautifully reflects the culture and creativity of the neighborhood. I was so excited to see Lao sausage on the menu, I knew we had to get that. The clams and mussels with Lao sausage were hands down my favorite dish - so savory, unique, and packed with flavor. I know it would be something my mom would have loved to try! The collard greens with neck bone meat were another standout. Every bite was unforgettable. The wait here is no joke, so I highly recommend making a reservation. I think we waited an hour and half to get seats for two, but worth it! We were fortunate enough to be seated after closing, and despite the long wait, the staff remained incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Their hospitality made the experience even more special. So shoutout to the staff! The only dish that didn't wow me was the trout - it was a little mild and could've used a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors. But honestly, everything else was some of the best food I've had in a long time! And I am a real foodie. If you appreciate cultural fusion, Communion is an absolute must visit in Seattle!

There were people waiting outside when we got there and only a few tables were seated. They seemed to space out the seatings to give the kitchen time to prepare food for the tables. We had high hopes as we love Southern food. We ordered the Sweet Potatoes Hoe Cakes, Mac N' Cheese, Classic Greens, UNC's Wings, Pork Chops, and the Grilled Berbere Steak. The Hoe Cakes were the best 4/5 but tasted like buttery cornbread, good, but nothing special. The Mac N' Cheese was 3.5/5 and were tasty and very cheesy. The classic greens were tasty but came in a small ramekin 3/5. The UNC's wings were okay, tasty and crunchy, but we've had better wings at dozens of restaurants 3/5. The pork chops were decent but dry 2.5/5. The steak was a bit fatty, gristly and bland 2.5/5. A three rating being average. Service was attentive but nobody bothered asking how the food was or we would have openly told them. For the price, there are much better options elsewhere. Don't waste your time, money or stomach on Communion.
