    Tried this place again last Friday and it was a complete 180 from our first experience. Staff were attentive end friendly. Food was really good. Wife got the chicken nachos and I opted for the bbq wings. Awesome patio with plenty of tvs for sports watching. Will return.

    Fish & Chips

    The food here was pretty good. Everything came out fast and fresh. Fish & Chips were my favorite. Tasted like there was curry in the batter, not sure. Bang Bang Shrimp was ok, but the Chili Crisp wings were great. The beer was a bit pricey for the size, and our server didnt know the drink selection too well. All in all, not a bad experience.

    Cookie and ice cream

    Stopped in before a movie. We had been looking forward to checking this place out for a while. It was pretty busy especially for 5:00 on a Saturday. Service was decent considering. Prices were super reasonable and food and drinks were good! Hubby loved his beer and I tried a Strawberry basil mule that was refreshing. He enjoyed his chicken strips and I got a tasty side salad. We shared queso and chips and the kids enjoyed the pretzel plus cookie with ice cream with juices / mocktails. Will likely return and sit outside next time. We were sat in a corner inside, which I assume was because we had tween/teens with us. Outdoor area had corn hole, picnic tables and plenty of sunshine.

    Steak Frites- not good.

    The worst ribeye steak I've ever had. Poor quality meat. No seasoning. Bland! The garlic fries served with it on my steak frites were limp and extremely greasy. I sat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned. The bartender disappeared and came back 10 minutes later with my drink. The king cube had half melted. It was very heavy on the bitters and light on whisky. Nice ambience. Great place to catch a game. If only the food and drinks were better made. Sigh!!

    Business Card "The Brass Tap"....ENJOY!

    Just a lot of fun! Seated promptly, wait person Lorie was outgoing & lively! Lorie took our order right away & repeated our order to make sure she had it right ( a first for me, shows she cares & paid attention to our orders) our orders came promptly & flavorful! Thanks to the staff, all the sports tv's made the night memorable & we will be back!

    Our friends just moved into this neighborhood and we found this place and ate here on a Sunday. Great weekend brunch menu. Started with delicious bloodies. Then got the nachos and a burger. Food is solid for a sports bar. The staff is super friendly. Also an outdoor area with corn hole games. Huge TVs everywhere so great for sports. Free WiFi. The vibe is great as well. We will be back.

    I can on MLK Day. It is pretty light crowd for a 2:30 pm. It's starting to pick up 3:30 pm, so it's time to leave. I am sitting at the bar and there is 1.5 bartenders. The bartender seem to be short staffed, not her fault. Buying waiting for a bill for over 20 minutes is not acceptable. Beer and food selection was on a QR code so hopefully bring a "smarter phone" I ordered one beer Tioga-Sierra Red Beer. It was good. They also have a small wine list and a full bar. Not sure how cocktails are charged since they have a lot of specialty drinks on their menu. Assuming I come back. I'll try the food but service needs some improvement. I deleted the Brass Tap App because it was buggy and didn't really help me. The venue is nice and spacious and the outdoor patio looks inviting. Maybe an office party or birthday party on the patio. Note: be prepared to leave an open tab on your credit card or pay up front for your drinks.

    Love this place. I come a few times a week as my son practices. Wait service regulars are wonderful. That said, a lot of turn over recently so can't speak on them all. The ones who are still here are wonderful. The owner is a friendly and realizes who the regs are. He seems to always be lookin to improve so give it another try till he gets it right. Drinks are great, food is above average for gastropub food. I recommend the Poblano chicken tacos (flour only tortilla), the loaded tots and Cheese curds. Oh and boom boom shrimp but not too much sauce!!

We reserved an outdoor firepit for a friend's birthday, and as other tables left, we sat at them since there were more people than chairs. The ambiance is really chill, pet friendly, baby friendly. A nice selection of wine, beer in a can and on tap and small bites. You order food and drinks inside, if you get food, they give you a number and bring it out to you once it's done. I highly recommend their grilled cheese and tomato soup. I wasn't trying to get that, but the very kind servers recommended it of all things and pretty much sold me on it. It was a great and delicious purchase to pair with the beer that I got, (I'm not much of a wine person). It's a very relaxing and beautiful winery with tasting rooms all around, both indoor and outdoor seating. There are fire pits and heaters everywhere outside in case it gets cold. I with the heaters, it never got too cold during the night. The servers also came out to tell us about last call for food but reminded us we were welcome to stay as long as we'd like. Great service, good snacks, good wine (so I've heard) and good beer.

She has curated a fantastic selection of small production boutique wines. It's obvious she is very picky about what she will serve in her establishment because honestly they are all delicious and great quality. The location itself is just gorgeous. Local art is featured on the walls. The bar seating is comfortable and there are some tables as well. Overall, just a wonderful place to hang out. The thing that makes Vin special is that every single wine is available by the glass! We are talking a lot of wines. It's a wonderful opportunity to try something you won't find in the grocery store. She offers three flights as well; Swirl which is a mix of whites and reds, Savor which is all reds and Sparkle obviously champagnes. In addition, she offers cheese and charcuterie boards curated by The Meatery and a Tahini Fudge Brownie which is baked exclusively for Vin by Sweet Reba's. What would be a more perfect pairing with a nice red....wine and chocolate are just so good together! We stopped in most recently on a Friday night and were treated to live music by Bro. Great singer who was just perfect for the wine room. Roslyn does not carry any local wines which is fine by me. If I want a local wine I can stop at Taste of Monterey or the tasting room itself. When I am in the mood for something truly special, I'll definitely be stopping in Vin. The wines rotate so there is always something new to try. If you have not yet been, run, don't walk. You are in for a real treat!

Upon entry, we were heartily greeted by the owner and staff. There were only a couple tables left on the main floor as there was a large party of fifteen people seated in most of the main dining area. It was extremely loud with voices reverberating because of the gregarious group. The owner invited us upstairs to see if a high-bar table would be suitable. The table was quite small even though it overlooked the entire first level, so we declined as another table by the front windows had become available. The Charcuterie + Cheese board was a wonderful start to the evening. It consisted of prosciutto di parma, sopressata, duck prosciutto, bella vitano, triple cream brie, chèvre, almonds, and fig jam served with sliced grilled sourdough. Delish. We enjoyed their Sauteed Rock Cod entrée which consisted of pan-fried cod served with potato puree, artichokes + capers in a Meyer lemon brown butter sauce. The portion was of moderate size, and the dish was excellently prepared and plated. In addition, we had the Drunken Skillet Seared Octopus, which was a nice portion of octopus in a preserved black-bean honey sauce, along with Chef Jerry's seasoning. I recommend this starter as an appetizer or as a main entrée for a light appetite. All was quite delicious. This is an intimate venue for wonderfully prepared meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a little lacking which could account for the bad acoustic issue. The service is outstanding as the staff was attentive and watchful without interrupting the customer's dining experience. A serious negative would be that the restrooms are not located on the main dining level, and could pose a problem for patrons who need assistance. Food 4.9 Atmosphere 3.7 Service 4.9

Unfortunately, the customer service judgment was a bit poor. When we politely asked to lower the music briefly for a short announcement, we were told it "wouldn't be fair to other customers." There were only a few others there, five perhaps and not deeply engaged in listening to music. A small act of courtesy could've gone a long way. Old Town Salinas thrives when businesses and community support each other.
