    3 1/2 stars. 20 beers on tap, but no stouts and one porter. Very limited seating inside, but plenty outside in the breezeway. No good served, but plenty of places nearby to get food delivery. $9 for a pour is more expensive then I have ever paid at a taproom. The also have wine and a few canned beers in the fridge. Cool building with some neat wall decor.

    The coolest little tap room

    We were on vacation, walking up and down Washington Street checking out antique shops and we happened upon this super cool taproom. When we got there it was about 5, the place was mostly empty, and the beer tender (Jeffery I think, I hope) was happy to talk to us about everything they had to offer. He recommended a seltzer from Crow & Wolf and we got to reveal we were extremely familiar with it as it's made in the town we live in. After that we were fast friends & once we learned open mic was happening later in the evening, we decided to stop our shopping and just enjoy some good beer and good vibes for the rest of the evening. When we got hungry, Jeffery recommended a pizza place up the road and kept a spot waiting for us when we came back. It was an awesome evening just listening to all the talented musicians at the open mic, enjoying their very good selection of beer, and having our fill of pizza. If I lived in this town, I think I'd be there every other week.

    Friendly staff, good beer choices, perfect patio area to relax and enjoy the sun! Bartender had a few recs of things to do around town! Loved it!

    Absolutely LOVE this place! Been there 3 times and every time the bartenders are extremely friendly! They are so so happy! What is that! Why can't all bartenders be like that! The beer is really really good and the help there does a good job describing them! You can sit outside in the nice ally full of lights and tables and happy people! We will alway stop and have a few beers here when we are in town!

They didnt have a printed kids menu but he helped my kids choose their food. We got ourselves some food and drinks as well. Everything came out fairly quickly. 1. The fancy fondue was very yummy. It came with toasted sourdough bread. 2. Garlic bread was also good. We dipped that into the fondue once we were done with the sourdough. It enhanced the taste further. 3. Kids loved the pepperoni pizza and fish & chips. 4. Our server also accommodated our request for a half and half garlic chicken pizza with no meat on one side. The pizza came out great.

Their happy hour is DAILY from 14:00-16:00. The restaurant was pretty busy on a Sunday, but we didn't have to wait long for a table. Our server was attentive and friendly. For our cocktails, my friend went with the Huckleberry lemonade, while I went with the pomegranate whiskey sour. She thoroughly enjoyed her cocktail, and so did I. At that price point, I didn't expect much, but it was a solid cocktail, although not as strong as what I'd normally get elsewhere. The clam chowder sounded really good, and I couldn't help myself, so I ordered it. My friend is not a fan of seafood, so the chowder was all for me. The crostini was very nicely toasted and I loved dipping it into the chowder. I was also pleasantly surprised by the flavor and quality of the clam chowder. It was packed with a ton of clams, and was perfectly hearty without being heavy. We opted to share the fallen apple pizza, which was the perfect choice. The dough was pillowy and light, and the toppings delicious. I would have liked more apple slices, as it didn't seem like they were very prominent, and for the balsamic drizzle to be more uniform, but overall it was a solid pizza. I took leftover pizza home, and my husband enjoyed it for dinner. We heated it up in the air fryer and that was the way to go. While it was a little noisy in the restaurant, mainly due to a large group seated next to us, we still had a good experience, and the booth seating was comfy. I would love to bring my husband back to try more happy hour menu items next time we visit Sonora! The price point is seriously hard to beat, and Emberz is a solid spot for hanging out and having a good time.

We called to try to make reservations for dinner but were told they don't take reservations. No worries! We decided to take our chances on a Saturday night. First impressions were great! The location is very cozy with a few tables and a bar. I fell in love with all of the imported Italian food for sale in the market area. Authentic Italian pasta, wine, and treats? Don't mind if I do! Obviously the prices will be more than a package of Golden Grain pasta at the grocery store, but you are paying for the authenticity and quality. We were told that all of the items in the market are imported from Italy except for the gelato which is from Marin. We were lucky to have a table as they were packed when we arrived. Even though it was cold outside, there was one outside table available with a patio heater which really helped keep us nice and comfortable. We ordered the bruschetta which had the most flavorful tomatoes and herbs. We then tried the gnocchi in a pesto cream sauce. Being Italian, I'm super picky when it comes to gnocchi. Usually it is super tough and chewy in restaurants which is not how it should be. This gnocchi was super tender and light and the sauce was very light and flavorful. So delicious! For dessert we ordered the tiramisu which was seriously the best I have ever had. The servers were extremely friendly and efficient. Despite how busy they were, we felt taken care of and treated like family. The owner Sarah has struck gold again with Avellino. We can't wait to return! Buon appetito!

We hadn't made time to stop at any wineries during the day, so we choose to stop in here due to the recommendation of Worldmark staff. This is a phenomenal wine tasting option whether you have the time to visit individual local wineries or not, as 13 wineries are represented: Chatom, Chiarella, Cpppermine, Domaine Becquet, Frog's Tooth, Four Winds, Ironstone, LaFolia, Mineral, Prospect 772, Renner, Stevenot, and Zucca Mountain. For a small fee (Worldmark guests receive a discount), we tried several Domaine Becquet (Cab-Shiraz), Four Winds (Chard), Ironstone (Zin 104), Mineral (Merlot) and Zucca Mtn (Sangiovese). Buck, our gracious host, shared a wealth of knowledge on each winery, winemaker and family, making the tastings very personal, special and interesting! There was no "favoritism" for one wine or winery. One couple in our group purchased several bottles, however one, the Domaine Becquet Cab-Shiraz (DELISH!) was not in stock, but would be available in 24-48 hours. Buck took our number and as soon as this wine was available, he contacted us and made arrangements to drop it off at our room when convenient for us. Wonderful customer service! Making a brief pass-thru of this area? Short on time? Stop at The Cellar Room for a variety of wine tasting options, all in one location. We'll be back next year!

The dill potato salad we both had was perfect for lunch on a warm day. Everything we ate here was perfectly made and for such a beautiful environment and upscale restaurant, the prices were really very reasonable. The dining room was elegant, but comfortable, and our waitress, Natasha, was truly a pleasure--she really took good care of us and had helpful answers to our numerous questions. She is a real star! Unfortunately, we don't live near Columbia so we can't eat here regularly, but whenever we find ourselves anywhere near Columbia we will definitely eat at the City Hotel.
