    Wine Dive Kitchen is a lovely restaurant in downtown Manhattan…read more I found them on OpenTable and booked a reservation for dinner on a Friday night. We were able to get in at 8:15. It was a little late, but they were super busy with a large party in a private room. Once we got in and got seated, the delightful server took excellent care of us. My wife wasn't really hungry so she just nibbled off my plate. I started with a half of a wedge salad, which was delicious. They had a special on a piece of paper that night, which was a smoked pastrami, burnt ends sandwich with homemade rye bread. It was glorious! Very creative and fun. Since I don't love fries, they were kind enough to substitute deviled eggs as my side dish. I didn't know there would be an up charge for that but it's okay because they were delicious. We each had two drinks from the bar and they were made very well. They have a huge wine, seller and a great selection as one would expect by the name of the place. This restaurant has other locations in Lawrence and Wichita and I would eat at any of the three. Very cool menu and an amazing wine selection. This is really good food.

    We started off with attitude from the host because I did not include my 5 month old granddaughter…read morein the reservation count. Mind you, the restaurant was basically empty....maybe 4 tables the entire time we were there. On a Kstate game day no less. We very obviously did NOT need a reservation. ‍ Then, we got a snarky attitude from our server for asking for a side of simple syrup for my DIL's unsweetened tea. WTH??!? He had previously been super nice up until that point. He snarkily informed me that he could do that but there would be a charge. Whatever. It was 50 cents for an ounce of sugar water. Anyway, the food was "okay", nothing to write home about. My DIL did really like her burger and our deviled eggs appetizer was great. Something really weird was my scrambled eggs had tiny bits of sausage scrambled into them. I did not like them at all and nowhere on the menu does it indicate there will be sausage in the scrambled eggs. I definitely would not return and do not recommend. Not a very pleasant experience.

    Actual temp this day is 99 not counting the heat index. Going inside the tasting room with a large…read moregroup of folks at the Cresent Moon Winery 246th St location, there was absolutely no water on the tables for customers to drink or even water to rinse out glasses when trying out different wines. Folks had to get up and go out into their store and to get a plastic cup of water from lobby area. How stupid and unprofessional. Been to many wineries and tasting rooms and never experienced lack of professional preparation of no real customer service. They just lined us up to collect payment before starting. Why wasn't water on the tables for customers to drink and (or) rinse glasses instead of pouring tasting right after another was in the glass in not a true tasting with resident from the prior wine???? On the way out, leaving the event, the owner never said good-bye or thank you for coming, absolutely nothing said by owner to us a customer as we heading for the door to leave. All of the wines were nasty, and tasted and smelled like a chemical, lighter fluid is what we at my table of folks described these wines as tasting like. No etiquette at all for a businessperson to have no personality at all. He is just making a bad wine and collecting money. Been to a million wineries that have water on the table for guest. Owner just not personable at all. I would never go again or tell anyone to visit this winery. Lawrence has a couple other good wineries I have experienced in our area. Aweful, don't waste your time trying this place if you are a true wine person.

    Be sure to stop by here if ever you're in Lawrence, KS, and do a wine tasting with their welcoming…read moreand knowledgeable employees. And if you like semi-sweet white wines, include Seyval Blanc, my all-time favorite, on your tasting menu. Pair it with cheese, crackers, and fruit for a delightful, starlit Spring or summer evening on your deck or patio. This tasting room and shop is right on Massachusetts Street, and has an interesting array of art, and lots of wine-related items, including beautiful posters, balsamic vinegars, foods, etc. The lovely Crescent Moon Winery and Vineyard itself Is just outside Lawrence, not far from the Grinter Farm sunflower fields, so be sure to include the winery on any trip to or through Lawrence. It makes for a fabulous, fun, and tasty day trip!

    I love Saltwell. Every time I have come here it has been the best food I've ever tasted. And y'all…read moreknow I'm picky af. The decore is dreamy and homey while still being upscale and a really catered experience. The employees treat you like family and it feels like a warm hug when you spend time here. If you're hesitant because of the price don't be. I've never paid for an expensive dinner that has been so "worth it" before such as this one. I'd pay double for it (but please don't raise the price ) I love you Saltwell. As a token of my gratitude here is a haiku. Saltwell season well A delight to my tummy Cozy homey time I also wanna give them a shoutout for all the great things they're doing on social media and highlighting other small businesses. Also we got engaged here and they made it so magical!

    We went here to celebrate our anniversary and the experience itself it was good and the people…read morethere were super friendly but the food was just okay. Nothing stood out. The focaccia bread was sort of dense. The salad course was good but portioning was very small in my opinion. The first main was brisket and grits. It was average, needed salt and some veggie to cut thru super rich flavor. Second main was pasta and that was most disappointing course. Really didn't taste like much and tiny portion. Third course was the best, slightly above average. Good steak with potatoes and veggies. Decent portion and good flavors. The desert was absolutely disaster in my opinion. It was mint chocolate chip ice cream and sort of thin crispy dough covered in cinnamon sugar. First of all flavors did not match and ice cream was half melted by the time we were served. Overall food was just okay. The drinks: I got gin cocktail that was good and red glass of wine with Taylor's recommendation and I have enjoyed it both. My husband got wine pairing and that was good as well. The personal was super friendly and helpful. The ambiance was great and course meal experience was great but food disappointed.
