    Bar and interior seating. Rustic, but comfortable.
    Mike W.

    One of our favorite wine bars/small bites restaurants. It's quaint, has fantastic service, and scrumptious small plates and tapas. There's primarily indoor and bar seating, but a few 2-seat tables out front. On street parking and public lot right across the street. This weekend's visit, Alex and Christine assisted us, and the service was excellent. WINE: They have a wonderful selection of wines to suit anyone's tastes. Wines available in flights, by the glass, or bottle, and some wine cocktails. For the non-wine drinkers, they also serve a variety of beers. FOOD: Even if you're not into wine, the food alone is worth a visit. We usually order several of the tapas and small plates. Everything is flavorful and well prepared. All food is prepared to order, so plan on a little extra time, but for us that's exactly what we like: a casual, relaxing dining experience. We had the following on our latest visit: * Sautéed Mushrooms ($9.95): sautéed with garlic and spices (pairs perfectly with a bold red wine) * Fig & Whipped Ricotta Crostini ($10.95): black fig jam with whipped ricotta, arugula, and balsamic glaze (delicious!) * Steak Crostini ($11.95): flank steak with gorgonzola cheese, marinated tomatoes, and fresh basil (the cheese makes it for me...simply fantastic!) * Chicken Liver Paté ($10.95): with crostini (one of my favorites!) * Grilled Cheese Bites ($10.95): made with their house cheese and served with a chili aioli (very good) * Olives ($5.95): Good, but I would suggest to the owner that they add a few varieties to make it great! They have charcuterie, salads, and many other items not listed above. Everything we've tried has been wonderful. I highly recommend you check out The Saltner to get your wine and tapas fix!

    Although this is more of a wine bar, I thoroughly enjoyed the food here, as it hit all the flavors I was looking for. The crostini was a delicious starter and the salad the right size to keep me interested. For dinner, I had the Honey glazed salmon and mashed potatoes and the wife had the Surf & Turf dinner, which was fill and required us to take home a portion of our dinner. Service was good, but do wish they had more of a selection of soft drinks, for those who don't imbibe in wine. The inside is more bar-like and hosts weekend wine discounts and get together parties of old vinyl tunes and flights of various wines.

    What a great find! The Saltner in Monrovia is a true hidden gem. The food was absolutely delicious - freshly cooked with quality ingredients you can taste in every bite. There's real care put into each dish. Love the Steak And Salmon Crotini. Great selection of wines The owner, Julie, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. You can tell she's passionate about both food and hospitality. They also offer wine classes - just ask about the schedule when you visit. It's a perfect spot for food lovers and wine enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend stopping by for a cozy, flavorful experience

    This restaurant has a nice ambiance at first glance. Pretty cozy interior. It was Friday night around 6:45. Plenty of tables available then we found out they have an event/party on going. Guests from that party spilled over to the main area of the restaurant where we are sitting. I am sure their guests were all enjoying themselves but for the few customers at the restaurant that were not part of the party, it was noisy and I can't even hear the background music. As for the food, our server indicated that they have had events in the past week. So some items we want to try were not available including the pate, chicken meatball and lobsber bisque. That was disappointing. I do recommend the goat cheese bruschetta. The crostini was toasted to perfection and proportion of goat cheese, strawberry, honey and walnuts were just right. The other two dishes we tried were average. The dishes do take a long time to come out. Wine recommendation by the owner was excellent. We love it.

    Best experience! Super intimate wine tasting experience - but also lots of wines to choose from if you already know what you like. It makes a great girls night and will say the FOOD was amazing and decent price. Our waiter was a joy! Thanks for the amazing time.

    Great meat and cheeses!

But we really came here because of what we heard about the food, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely make a reservation if you are going on the weekend. We got there early and were lucky to be seated a little early. It was an outside table so the view of Del Taco was a bit weird given the quality of food but just need to ignore that. I don't remember the names of the items we ordered but they were all great. Calamari and beef carpaccio for starters, as well as a crab bisque. The mains were the sausage and black truffle pasta (our favorite), lobster pasta, and scallops and squid ink. Tiramisu for dessert, and they also gave us a refreshing spritzer type of drink. Can't remember the name but it's apparently derived from grapes. Definitely not cheap if you get the specials which the three pastas above are, but we really enjoyed it and plan to return again soon.

The staff were all fantastic and made me feel welcomed and told me to save the date for their Holiday Party. Louis Roederer is one of the leading champagne houses, so I was excited for this tasting.

This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss. Perfect for a date, a solo unwind-with-a-book moment, or a fun night with friends who appreciate a good story and a great drink.
