I am glad they have different coffee drinks nowadays, including espresso tonics, which have become my favorite for summertime. The food menu is small, but covers the basics. The space is nice and open, and I am glad they removed the red tint from the windows, makes it feel more relaxing now.

The staff here are about as hospitable and welcoming as a middle school teacher holding after…read moreschool detention. Sorority sister and I came to Charlie Foster's to get a glass of vino after dinner at El Caz. The majority of wine cellars/wine shoppes/wine centric places are extremely friendly, not tethered to a chair, and very engaging because, it's wine after all, and most wine lovers love nothing more than talking about wines! Rather than look over a wine list, I just asked for a glass of pinot grigio. The young man gave me the saddest pour I have seen in my life, again, in the requisite plastic purple Solo cup, and guess what this regrettable purchase cost me? $12.00. For a little more than double that cost, at about $26.00 I can get an entire bottle of Italian pinot grigio at Nick's ristorante, which is 4 *full* glasses!!!! Originally, I wanted to see what kinds of wines they had for sale; however, after this very transactional and impersonal interaction, I was ready to leave. I would suggest that management/owners train their personnel on wines and have them attend actual wine tastings with a sommelier and learn a few talking points about the various types and vineyards they represent. Staff should mingle with patrons to see what the person is interested in (would they like a dry white wine bottle to drink inside, a purple cup "to go," or several bottles for an upcoming event) and encourage things both that the customer prefers or is just outside the customer's comfort zone and peaks the patron's interest. I would also suggest they select staff who actually have a personality.

Always good choices available and often good advice. One of just a few in the city with a solid…read morewine list.

I came here for a champagne tasting and brunch event I saw on EventBrite. I must say to access the…read morebuilding, the parking is tight and parts of the building is tight, but it's definitely a cute cellar. We were greeted when we entered and were given some instructions but I must admit, I was a little lost. I was told there was some outside seating (all of the tables/chairs were taken inside) so since this was my first time visiting, I wish there were signs or maybe the hostess could have showed us specifically where to go because oops, I accidentally opened a door that appeared to be an office. Someone saw us and we probably looked lost to them and so they were nice enough to show us the outside area which had a singer who sung some Frank Sinatra songs. He was very talented and appealed to the audience. To our surprise, we saw behind us a table for the tastings. I asked the server for a champagne card so I could take notes and view the prices, but she said when we entered, we should have received one. So I went back to the front and asked the people at the door for the champagne card and they stated that they were printing them, and that they will hand them out a little later. Also I wondered about my brunch that was paid for separately and they said they will come and find me when it was ready. I am glad that we were able to find a table because now I am wondering if we couldn't, how would we have eaten our food. In my opinion, tables should have been reserved for customers who ordered food. Also I wasn't sure how they were keeping up with which customer showed up first because we weren't given a number or anything to show that we ordered food and what our number in line was. At first glance, they seemed unorganized. But as the time progressed they did eventually bring out the champagne cards and they apologized for the lateness of us receiving our food. As the event was coming to an end, one of the workers gave us info on future wine tastings and when they have a live band. All in all, we enjoyed the experience despite it seeming to be unorganized at times, but will definitely come back and visit soon. P.S. The champagne was great! Even bought a bottle. Also the brunch tray was delicious. Hats off to the chef! That whipped goat cheese with orange marmalade was amazing!

I think i finally found the dish I like from here after trying many. The Chicken Cannelloni is…read moredefinitely a favorite now and i like the Alfredo/red sauce combo. The chicken and spinach filling is delicious and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The Caesar salad has a nice twang to it and it was very well chilled which I really prefer. The Bruschetta is my favorite appetizer and i love the olives with the balsamic glaze and cheese, it's different but very tasty. Not really a fan of the scampi or the angel hair pasta dishes since those seem to be overcooked each time, but the cannelloni really did it for me this time. The service is great, drinks were constantly being filled and wasn't in a rush to order. Each waitress/waiter has been nice and attentive. The atmosphere is nice, laid back, nothing fancy, but just a nice casual dining experience. On super busy night it can be a bit loud, but if you go early for lunch or their early bird dinner specials it's perfect.

Lola's has excellent service, great parking and the Jones Valley site is a new building with open indoor seating that overlfows into the outodoor patio- Eat in, Take it to go, whatever, all of it is good. BUT WAIT-there's more!- their early morning Breakfast tacos (yep, 0700!) are the underground secret, you heard it here first!

Another one where I struggle to rate. I'd give a 3.5 but that's not an option…read more So this is a fast casual, Tex-Mex/Americanized Mexican food place. They have a drive through as well as counter service indoors. I didn't go inside, but it looked bright and nice and new from the outside. From what I've read, this is meant to be a competitor/similar concept as Little Rosie's. Little Rosie's is to (big) Rosie's as Lola's Cocina is to Phil Sandoval's. Pared down menu, more fast casual concept, more casual service (drive thru or counter), breakfast options, light alcohol, etc. I will be the first to admit this is not my preferred way to eat Mexican food; I am a notorious non-fan of both Little Rosie's and Taco Mama. I just tend to find it on the bland, uninteresting side. Therefore, I'll probably never have a 5 star experience at a place like these restaurants because they're simply not for me. This factors into my rating, as well as the fact that I only tried one thing and therefore don't feel like I have a super good idea of an "average" offering here. For what it's worth, however, I did like the food I had here more than I did at nearby Taco Mama and Little Rosie's. I'm getting ahead of myself though. I arrived fairly late on a Saturday evening and pulled through the empty drive through. It took a minute or two for me to be acknowledged, but no biggie, it was slow. The employees weren't impolite but I did sort of got the vibe they wished I hadn't come by, lol. Just rather curt and miffed vibes. It wasn't THAT late - definitely more than an hour til close - so idk if that was really warranted. I wasn't super hungry and just wanted something quick and easy so I ordered the appetizer nachos with ground beef, hold the guacamole (I know, I know, guacamole is the best food ever...or something). What I paid for it was VERY reasonable for the size of what I wound up getting, though I think some of the other menu offerings do seem a little pricey ($13-$15+ for two tacos with chips and one side, no drinks). I only had to wait a few minutes at the window for my food to come out. One thing I really didn't like is that they used one of those little handheld credit card readers for payment, which in itself is fine...but it prompted for a tip. I always feel super guilty if I don't tip when prompted so I guess I'm the target audience...but to be honest, I don't think I've ever been prompted for a tip at a food service drive through (outside of a coffee shop, but that seems a little different since the person taking your order is also often making it, whereas I don't think that's the case here). Idk, I'm not above like a tip jar on the window sill or something but it was just really jarring. I also didn't love passing the reader back and forth out of the window. Anyway, my food came out in a timely enough manner and, as I mentioned earlier, in quite a generous portion. Though it's an appetizer, these nachos were more than enough to make a meal out of; heck, you could split them for two meals if you had average and not-huge appetites. I ate maybe 35% of mine. On the whole, they were good nachos. The queso is more like rotel-ish (yellow rather than white), but it was flavorful. The jalapeños had a nice kick though they were not crisp like I ideally prefer them. The toppings were layered nicely and evenly throughout the chips, which themselves were solid enough. The sour cream was in one corner of the carryout box, but it was easy to get a scoop when desired. The ground beef wasn't crazy flavorful but it was unobjectionable and cooked well. Again, I'm a little suspicious of other offerings based on other reviews and my own personal preferences, but the nachos seem a safe choice. Overall, I'd probably return here for more nachos if I just so happened to be craving Americanized Mexican/Tex Mex food. That's an almost impossible scenario for me lol, but I have many friends and family members who love this cuisine, so perhaps I'll try to sway them to come here when next the craving hits. I'll update if and when I try other things.
