The ambience inside and out is unmatched. There's a cool music vibe throughout the interior, with cozy vintage-style seating areas that make you want to relax and linger. Every visit we notice something new in the décor. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It's laid-back in the best way. We're proud wine club members and even plan trips around stopping here. We were just there this past week and, as always, it did not disappoint.

An exceptionally beautiful place to sample wine and enjoy an afternoon. Melville has a smallish…read moreindoor tasting room, but the place to sit is outside. There are arbors covered with wisteria, Adirondack chairs, and birds and butterflies everywhere. I enjoyed a glass of rose and a snack on the lawn while my husband painted the rows of wine grapes right beside me. We were there in late June, but apparently the fall colors are spectacular. I felt the wine price per glass was reasonable for the quality. The snacks are pricy, but i believe you can bring your own. Cosmos helped us, and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the history of the winery. Thank you, Cosmos, for a perfect afternoon!

Wow! The flavors at Flare blew us away…read more My hubby and I were looking for a new place to try for our date night. I remembered the opening soon signs for Flare when we used to live by Ryon Park. Since we moved, I'd almost forgotten so I was excited to finally try their food. The staff that greeted and tended to us were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere has a hole-in-the-wall vibe with its intimate seating. The back tables have glowing lights like stars which was a nice touch. That being said, I feel like the interior could use some more color. Maybe some Japanese or Korean art would be cool. We started out with some milk tea. I ordered the tiger milk tea which was sweet with caramel and I added honey Boba. For the food, they have hot pots! A unique offering for the Lompoc area. The food at Flare is mostly Korean and Japanese inspired food with some California influences. Like the beef Bulgogi fries my husband ordered-- were bomb. They came with a spicy mayo like sauce that was a savory and sweet suprise. The saltiness of the beef and melted cheese-- ultimate comfort food. It would've been even better with avocado. I ordered a fusion rice bowl. At first I was skeptical about the sauce the shrimp came with. But after the first bite my mouth was bursting with flavor. Freshness from the sour cream mixed perfectly with the mildly spicy red sauce dressing the shrimp (no tails which I appreciated). Little bits of cilantro mixed into the warm jasmine rice balanced out the salty and savory shrimp. Add in the freshness of the crisp lettuce, pico de gallo and corn. Overall, it created a beautiful balanced dish I didn't know I needed; a meal that satisfied my soul. Next time we come I can't wait to try their hot pots! Highly recommend you check out Flare.
